This recurring feature Provenance helps showcase the outstanding Honors College faculty, but in a format that is more creative than a traditional interview. Inspired by a long-running series con-ducted by the BBC, we asked Kate Votaw what eight items she would bring with her to a desert island. The charming and very funny professor who teaches classes such as Principles of Psychology in Popular Culture (also known as “the Harry Potter class”) and Social Psychology was happy to help. Besides teaching in Honors, Kate is also an alum of the college, who you might remember previously as Kate Blankmeyer.
