Brandeis awards research leaves to senior faculty
Brandeis University has awarded four senior faculty research leaves for 2017-2018. These competitive awards provide tenured Arts and Sciences faculty with a non-teaching semester and research funds to allow them to focus on a scholarly or creative project. Faculty present a brief summary of the work accomplished at the end of the leave. Below are this year’s recipients and the titles of their projects:
Kerry Chase, Politics: American Democracy and the Birth of International Organizations. Chase will work toward writing and publishing two articles to form the basis of his third book project.
Elizabeth Ferry, Sociology: Ferry will use the award to continue research and writing on a book tentatively titled Tangible Assets: Gold as Material-Social Force in Finance and Mining.
Laura Quinney, English: Existential Alienation- the apprehension of consciousness that it is essentially alone, embedded in a surrounding that is indifferent at best, hostile at worst.
Jonathan Unglaub, Fine Arts: The award will enable Unglaub to complete his manuscript of Painting as Miraculous Birth: Raphael and the Renaissance Madonna.
