The new program’s pilot group will include three students from SJSU and three students from Stanford who will earn a fellowship stipend, so they don’t have to work and can focus on community service for part of the summer. The Steinbeck Studies director describes that the ideal applicant would be famil- iar with Steinbeck’s work and understands through Steinbeck the context of what it would mean to have endured tough times, referencing migrant workers from The Grapes of Wrath as an example. “The band was really into this idea and decided they wanted the proceeds from the ceremony to go towards it,” says Professor Taylor. This single event has generated enough money to support the fellowship for multiple years. Professor Taylor and the band are hoping to grow the program in the future. He goes on to say how Mumford & Sons is excited to come back to see how the fellow- ship develops. Applications for the fellowship should Mumford & Sons receiving Steinbeck Award be available before Spring 2020 for SJSU students.

  • Evolutionary Understandings
    Tall Tales, Provocative Parables, Luminous Clarity and Evocative Truths: A Modern Log from the Sea of Cortez An Earth Manifesto story by Dr. Tiffany B. Twain April 2008, with sporadic updates thereafter This is a tall tale, I assure you. Seven great gal friends and I arranged a weeklong “bareboat” charter of a 42-foot catamaran sailboat on the Sea of Cortez in March 2008. We sailed north from the city of La Paz along the rugged coast of Baja, Mexico. The Sea of Cortez has marvelously clear water and is dotted with dozens of hauntingly beautiful arid islands. Known to some as ‘Mexico’s Galapagos’, the area has an exceptional amount of biological diversity. The most fascinating life forms we saw were tall sentinel-like saguaro cacti, numerous diving pelicans, soaring frigate birds and impressive marine animals like whales, porpoises and sea lions, and giant squid and huge sleek manta rays. We gals were figuratively following in the exceptional footsteps of marine biologist and philosopher “Doc” Ed Ricketts and author John Steinbeck, who were accompanied by five others on a six-week-long biological expedition afloat on the Sea of Cortez in 1940. John Steinbeck’s thought-provoking book about the voyage, The Log from the Sea of Cortez, is a literary gem that contains rare intelligence, wit and some fascinating observations, and it presents valuable ideas in a well-organized manner. John Steinbeck explains that the perspectives in his Log were stimulated by an engaging philosophic open-mindedness among friends during their voyage in this remote aquatic wilderness.
