Louis Nelson is an associate professor and currently chair of the department of architectural history at the University of Virginia where he teaches courses in American architecture, specializing in colonial and early national architecture, vernacular architecture, and theories and methods of sacred space. His work focuses on the early American South and the greater Caribbean. The Beauty of Holiness (due out early in 2009) examines the ways Anglican churches in colonial South Carolina express regional identity, social politics, and divergent theologies of the sacred. He also directs the UVA Falmouth Field School in Historic Preservation, a month-long program held each summer in the coastal town of Falmouth, Jamaica, and has published an edited collection of essays, American Sanctuary: Understanding Sacred Spaces (Indiana University Press, 2006) and a state-of-the-field essay on sacred space in Religious Studies Review. |
