Working in the Creative Arts is a collaboration between the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School, the McCarter Theatre Center, and Princeton alumni who work in or adjacent to the arts.
The GLC connects graduate student participants with a diverse range of partners in a dynamic, interdisciplinary co-curricular space to explore the reciprocal relationships between performance and research, criticism and production, theory and practice, and administration and academia, while learning about career paths in the public humanities, theatre, the arts and GLAMS (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums).
About the WCAPH: Over the course of the 2022-23 academic year, this cohort met with a diverse range of speakers across a range of spaces — both on and off-campus — to explore the reciprocal relationships between performance and research, criticism and production, theory and practice, and administration and academia, while learning about career paths in the public humanities, theater, arts, and GLAMS (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums). This interdisciplinary graduate learning cohort will be an informal community of critical inquiry and an engaging, supportive learning environment in which students will learn about the past, present, and future of cultural organizations, and acquire contacts and experiences that will equip them for their own journeys.
Together, we will explore ways to engage, partner with, and work with cultural organizations, and we will consider issues such as access and diversity in the arts, public engagement and outreach, digital humanities, and art and social change. Originally conceived by Lucy Partman and Michael Zhang, the series is led by James M. Van Wyck with Dylan Blau Edelstein (PhD Student in Spanish and Portuguese). Series advisors include Debbie Bisno from McCarter Theatre and Pilar Castro-Kiltz '10.

Rodney Priestley is the dean of the graduate school at Princeton University and the Pomeroy and Betty Perry Smith Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering. He is a leading researcher in the area of complex materials and processing, and served as Princeton University's inaugural vice dean for innovation from 2020-22. The vice dean for innovation provides academic leadership for innovation and entrepreneurship activities across campus.
Priestley has published nearly 100 articles, edited a book, and is co-inventor on four patent-pending technologies in the area of drug-delivery and polymer colloids, substances that make up gels and emulsions. His research group is focused on understanding how materials that undergo changes in their properties and join together when confined in tiny spaces open new possibilities for a vast range of novel applications, including drug delivery, designer colloids and sustainable manufacturing. Priestley is engaged in three industry-university research collaborations in the areas of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics as well as polymer nanocomposite design, and is the co-founder of two companies that are working to translate University intellectual property into technologies or products.
