Before arriving at King's, Dr. Bleattler was an education curator at the Mary Brogan Museum of Art & Science in Tallahassee, Florida. His love of the museum world is reflected in his classes where he regularly takes students to the Metropolitan Museum of Art as well as other important cultural arts institutions in New York City. His engagement with the city is fundamental to his teaching pedagogy: “I love that King’s is attempting to integrate faith and scholarship in the middle of the most exciting city in the world. Where else can you study Socrates in the classroom and then go see David’s neoclassical masterpiece, The Death of Socrates or study ancient Egypt and then walk through the Temple of Dendur at the Met?”
