10th Annual Division of Academic Affairs Faculty Author Recognition Awards
Faculty Author Book Awards
Message from Library Director Jan Lewis
I want to offer my congratulations to the recipients of the 10th Annual Division of Academic Affairs Faculty Author Recognition Awards. Publication of a monograph is one of the top academic accomplishments and warrants recognition by the university. We look forward to jointly recognizing the recipients of the 10th and 11th awards during the 2021-22 academic year when it is safe for us to gather in the Janice Hardison Faulkner Gallery.
The 2019-2020 recipients are from Academic Library Services, the College of Business, the College of Education, the College of Fine Arts & Communication, the College of Health & Human Performance, and the Thomas Harriot College of Arts & Sciences. Their works run the gamut from award-winning fiction to psychotherapy to photography.
Two works in particular denote the times in which we are living. Dr. Rhea Miles, Associate Professor in Science Education, published The Adventures of the STEM Brothers, which recounts the story of her father and uncles growing up in the segregated South and succeeding in STEM careers. What an inspirational book to read and discuss with children today. Dr. Andrea Kitta, Associate Professor in the Department of English, published The Kiss of Death: Contagion, Contamination, and Folklore, which received the 2020 Chicago Folklore Prize and the 2020 Brian McConnell Book Award. Her publisher is currently offering free access to the entire book to promote better understanding of cultural responses to the current outbreak of coronavirus. In addition, Dr. Kitta created online resources for teachers who want to cover COVID-19 with their students.
We thank all the authors for their vision, creativity, and persistence in planning, researching, writing, editing, and publishing these works, and for sharing their expertise with readers. Most of the books are available through the ECU Libraries in print or online form. At least one was published open access and is available in The ScholarShip, ECU’s institutional repository. Please peruse the complete list of authors and books, check one of the books out from the library, or read it online. On behalf of Academic Library Services, congratulations to all the authors. We look forward to partnering with ECU faculty, researchers, and authors on creative works and publications in the future. Please visit our Faculty Services website to learn more about library services and resources that support research and publishing.
This year’s Faculty Author Book Awards celebrates and recognizes the accomplishments of Division of Academic Affairs faculty who have contributed to the scholarship of higher education by authoring, co-authoring or editing scholarly monographs published between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020
