Ellen Pearlstein, professor of information studies and core faculty member of the Cotsen Institute, was quoted by “The Iris, Behind the Scenes at the Getty” in an article about the Getty Foundation Post-Baccalaureate Internships which benefit underrepresented conservation students. One of the new interns is a member of the Mellon Directed Opportunity for Diversity in Conservation program of which Pearlstein is the principal investigator. Pearlstein teaches in the UCLA/Getty Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage and was a major contributor to the creation of the PhD program of the Interdepartmental Program in Conservation of Archaeological and Ethnographic Materials, both part of the Cotsen Institute.
