Profiles of Faculty Scholarship

HIGHLIGHTS OF RESEARCH, PUBLICATIONS AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY September, 2016 – September, 2017

Published May 2018 FOREWORD We are pleased to present the annual edition of this publication to honor the creative, community and scholarly work of Fitchburg State University faculty and librarians. This booklet offers an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the intellectual and creative achievements of our faculty and librarians. These activities both spring from and feed our central teaching mission. Reflected in these pages is the dedicated work of a community of scholars. Politics in Verse For DeMisty Bellinger-Delfeld, poetry is a political statement, even if that’s not its primary function. “Poetry still has to be beautiful,” she said. “It still has to entertain, even if it’s about tough subjects. But to ignore politics is a disservice.” Politics has been on Bellinger-Delfeld’s mind a lot since the 2016 election and the challenging cultural conversations that have emerged since. Among her recent poems are works that explore themes of race and gender. “All writing is entering into a greater conversation. That’s been the case since Beowulf,” she said. “My poetry has certainly gotten more political as I’ve For these faculty highligh pages, use the following gotten older.” paragraph styles: And while one of her pieces was published in Nasty Women Poets: An Unapologetic Anthology of *faculty name 1 Subversive Verse (Lost Horse Press, 2017), a volume *FACULTY DEPARTMENT 1 that took its name from a very current political DeMisty Bellinger-Delfeld phrase, Bellinger-Delfeld knows the themes of ASSISTANT PROFESSOR *text faculty bio 1 sexual harassment and discrimination explored in ENGLISH STUDIES the work will transcend this moment in time. *faculty pull quote 1 Poetry is a good medium for such exploration, she said. “Poems are immediate and get to the essence of an idea on the page,” she said. “Poems She’s also developing a scholarly paper on are pure.

Scholarship for Community Jane Huang said the applied scholarship model she has explored in her research emerged from necessity. “Many incoming students don’t understand the value of geography,” she said. “The only way to help them understand this is through application.” That approach has been embodied in several recent projects that have been valuable for her students as well as the city in which the university resides.

Among their successes was securing a competitive LEF Foundation Moving Image grant.
