Adele Rossetti-Morosini, PT faculty

Adele Rossetti-Morosini, Visiting Assistant Professor, Mathematics & Science
At present I have the pleasure to be teaching at Pratt, besides Light, Color and Design for the Fashion Department, four classes which I have written: Scientific Drawing and its Color version, Scientific Drawing in Color, and two classes on Botanical Morphology: Morphology of Trees and of Herbaceous Plants. These I co-teach with Dr Gerry Moore, Director of Science and Dr. Mark Tebbitt, Director of Taxonomy at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

I am an exhibiting artist and scientific illustrator. My research and publications are on the semiology of Art images, especially drawing, and on Ethnobotany and Morphology based Taxonomy. A manuscript in progress for which I have received support from Pratt Institute, Oxford University, UK, and the Mellon Foundation explores the Elizabethan popular and literary meanings of plants as employed in Shakespearean texts.

I find the diversity of interests and opinions of my Pratt colleagues stimulating and would look forward to hearing and representing my constituents in the Senate.
