Carr has been recognized many times for her work as a scholar and is even considered to be one of the leading scholars of Byzantine and Medieval Arts Studies. However, it is obviously the culmination of her studies with her life as a teacher that have made her the legend so many see her as.
As Janis Bergman-Carton, associate professor and chair of art history states, "One of the most important duties of a faculty member beyond the teaching of his or her content area is to provide students with a model of intellectual curiosity, integrity and social responsibility. I don't know of anyone who does that with more graciousness, generosity and joy then Annemarie Carr."
The humble professor Carr responds, "Having a symposium in my honor is just amazing. My students have done such wonderful things in their careers that I feel very little by comparison."
"The Afterlife of Forms: A Symposium in honor of Annemarie Weyl Carr" will take place at the Meadows Museum on Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 9 to 5 p.m. Both events are free, though reservations are required. The Fondren Library display honoring Prof. Carr will end March 21.
