Her research focuses on the production and consumption of fashion luxury goods and the way fashion and textiles are represented in the visual culture of the 18th and 19th centuries. She is particularly interested in the birth of American fashion and revealing the work of under-recognized women fashion and textile designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c溏心vlog免费B站 is fortunate to have Rebecca Kelly on our faculty,\u201d said Vice Provost Matt Bodah, who chaired the selection committee. \u201cShe is not only an alumna, but she also takes time with her students to provide advice on careers or research, drawing on her own vast experience and highly regarded work as a textiles conservator. She is an example of the best that our institution offers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Department Chair Karl Aspeland added, \u201cRebecca is remarkably engaging in her teaching style, tailoring her material to individual students\u2019 needs and background knowledge, crafting her course materials to allow students to focus on their specific talent sets and create portfolio-ready material.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly, who has more than 20 years\u2019 experience, is the author of \u201cFashion in the Gilded Age: A Profile of Newport\u2019s King Family in Twentieth-Century American Fashion.\u201d She worked for many years as a textile conservator at the Preservation Society of Newport County and later at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology and continues to work as a consultant for the interpretation and installation of textile exhibitions. Kelly received a B.A. in art history as well as an M.S. in textiles, fashion merchandising and design from the 溏心vlog免费B站. She is also a longtime member of the Costume Society of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On hearing the news of this award, her students commented, \u201cRebecca is possibly the best teacher I have ever had. The coursework in her classes is thoughtful, creative, and engaging.\u201d Another added, \u201cHer enthusiasm, expertise, and kindness will stick with me just as long, if not longer than her lessons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to a luncheon in her honor, Kelly\u2019s name has been inscribed on a plaque honoring each year\u2019s award winners. The plaque is located in the Great Room of Green Hall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 15, 2023 \u2013 The Office of the Provost at the 溏心vlog免费B站 recently honored Newport resident Rebecca Kelly with its sixth annual Part-Time Faculty Teaching Excellence Award.&nbsp; Kelly has been a part-time faculty member in the College of Business since 2017.
