AUGUST 7, 2002--Erik Inglis, assistant professor of art history, just couldn't stay away from Oberlin. Nine years after his graduation (and a stint living in New York City), he returned to his alma mater to teach.
"I don't have any dark secrets to hide about my undergraduate years," says Inglis. "About the only thing I really participated in outside the classroom was rugby--back when there was a men's team."
After graduate work at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts, he interned at the Getty Museum in the manuscripts department, curating three shows there under the tutelage of Thomas Kren '72.
Inglis returned to Oberlin three years ago to introduce the next generation of Obies to medieval art. He is also preparing to catalogue the museum's collection of illuminated manuscripts, with the help of his students. On top of that, he's had to introduce his wife (a native New Yorker) to the Oberlin lifestyle.
"It was kind of hard to explain everything about Oberlin to my wife when we moved here, but she's catching on," Inglis says. "She's even learned to make her own granola, and attends yoga classes. Sometimes I think she's more of an Obie than I am."
