| Clark-Woodson Research Fellowship | Clark-Woodson Research Fellowship | 2022-06-06T04:00:00Z | <p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:calibri, sans-serif;"><strong>Kisha Porcher</strong></span>, assistant professor, was awarded the Clark-Woodson Research Fellowship by the Black Teacher Collaborative (BTC). This fellowship is named after two pioneering Black educators, Septima Clark and Carter G. Woodson. Both educators were committed to using education as the instrument for the liberation of Black people. Clark-Woodson Fellows have the opportunity to support BTC's research agenda in fostering Black liberatory education for Black students while simultaneously advancing their own scholarship. Kisha describes her fellowship project as follows: Anti-Blackness is woven into the fabric of English Education programs. Black scholars argue that the only way forward in education liberation and dismantling anti-Blackness is to center Blackness. This study will: (1) Explore the ways that Black English Teacher Educators center Blackness in theoretical and pedagogical practices; and (2) Develop a framework to center Black theorists (such as Septima Clark, Carter G. Woodson, Alice Dunbar-Nelson & Bishop Daniel Alexander Payne) and pedagogical practices (such as the Black Liberatory Practices) in English Education programs, as a way forward to disrupt anti-Blackness in English Education programs. This work expands upon my existing scholarship, by engaging in a historical document analysis of Black ancestors' (Septima Clark, Carter G. Woodson, Alice Dunbar-Nelson & Bishop Daniel Alexander Payne) Black Liberatory Practices, as a comparative analysis to the Black English Teacher Educators, to inform a framework for English Education programs that prepare preservice teachers to center Blackness in English Language Arts classrooms.</p><p></p> | Porcher, Kisha | kporcher | | |

Keerthi plans to “uncover how park conservancies and municipalities articulate their goals to each other and the public and what such articulations signal about the future of public spaces---the activities permitted there, the shape of such spaces, and the people allowed to occupy them."<br></p> | Potluri, Keerthi | potluri | | |

| William Riley Parker Award | William Riley Parker Award | 2020-12-14T05:00:00Z | <p><strong>Sarah Wasserman,</strong> Assistant Professor, has been awarded the William Riley Parker Prize, by the Modern Language Association of America (MLA), for her article published in their May 2020 issue of <em>PMLA</em>. The committee’s citation reads:
'Sarah Wasserman’s “Ralph Ellison, Chester Himes, and the Persistence of Urban Forms”
is a beautifully written essay on the political and temporal paradoxes of what we now call
gentrification. Wasserman provides a compelling account of the formal strategies that
Ellison and Himes developed to show “how infrastructure registers urban change,
congealing past and present” and thereby disrupting simple notions of loss, preservation,
and progress. Instead of seeing Ellison and Himes as writing in antithetical genres,
aesthetic registers, and fictional forms—pulp detective story versus psychologically
realistic novel—we can understand them both as using “the conventions of the novel as a
backdrop against which they plot formal changes and social transformations that remain
incomplete.” Wasserman demonstrates that by examining treatments of objects and urban
spaces, rather than explorations of human psychology, we can reevaluate the taxonomies
we use to value and understand literature and the political histories it mediates.'</p> | Wasserman, Sarah | swasser | | |

</p><p><strong>Iain Crawford</strong>’s <a href="https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-contested-liberalisms.html" target="_blank"><em>Contested
Liberalisms: Martineau, Dickens and the Victorian Press</em></a>
(Edinburgh University Press, 2019) was named runner up for the 2020 Robert and
Vineta Colby Scholarly Book Prize awarded by the Research Society in Victorian
Periodicals for the best book on the periodical press. The review committee described
this as “an impressively weighty and lucid book that negotiates its way
carefully through its tripartite interests in liberalism, transatlantic
cross-cultural exchange and the development of the periodical press. It offers
new approaches to both Martineau and Dickens in its scholarly study of their
contrasting contributions to emerging formulations of progressive social theory
in ways that richly reveal the intellectual heft and significance of their
writings in the context of the development of liberal thought. Crawford draws
out the details of their relationship masterfully in this sophisticated and
erudite work that is full of rich detail related with minute attention to
scholarly conversation. A pleasure to read, this book is an important contribution
to the history of the periodical press, to Dickens studies, and especially to
our understanding of the importance of Harriet Martineau.”</p> | Crawford, Iain | icrawf | | |
