Gary D. FarneyInstructor
Since 2012, Prof. Farney is co-director of an archaeological field project in central Italy, the ExternalUpper Sabina Tiberina Project. Rutgers and non-Rutgers students (both undergraduate and graduate) may apply to participate in the External field school in Italy that serves this project. The field school is currently one of the largest Rutgers faculty-led study abroad programs in the university. He has also helped establish ExternalThe Mediterranean Displacements Project, an interdisciplinary working group of faculty across the university whose work centers on questions of migration, displacement, refugees, and climate change in the Mediterranean, both historically and in the present. Since July 1, 2021, he has also become the Director of the Division of Global Affairs at Newark.

In operation since 2012, is a Rutgers Study Abroad summer program that teaches undergraduate and graduate students archaeological field skills and methods. Among these are: excavation techniques; site recording and management skills; the handling, processing, and preserving of site materials, such as mosaics, painted wall plaster, pottery, human remains, and other small finds. Student participants will acquire this training by doing these things on-site in Italy under the supervision of academic and professional field specialists.
