Landscape historian Ethan Carr is joining the faculty as associate professor of landscape architecture in Fall 2007. Carr is a nationally recognized landscape architecture historian and preservationist specializing in the public landscape of the United States.

He formerly taught the history of landscape architecture, seminars in cultural landscape studies and design studios at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and is editing the eighth volume of the Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted, the 19th-century American landscape architect who created New York City’s Central Park and other urban parks throughout the United States.

Carr earned a Ph.D. from the Edinburgh College of Art, received a master’s in landscape architecture from Harvard University, and both master’s and bachelor’s degrees in art history from Columbia University.
