UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES SCHOLARSHIP 2011 COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Scholarship 2011 1 PREFACE: SCHOLARSHIP 2011 College of Arts and Sciences The intellectual power and creative vitality of the College of Arts and Sciences reside in our faculty. While students lie at the center of the College’s attention, the work of the College’s faculty makes possible the distinctive education in the liberal arts and sciences that our graduates attain. All of the College’s achievements and aspirations spring in some way from faculty members’ creativity, talent, and dedication in scholarship, teaching, and professional service. In calendar year 2011 faculty members in the College received over 41 University grant awards and 106 national grant and fellowship awards. College faculty also authored or created 22 books, 38 book chapters, 214 journal articles and reviews, 100 performances, and 88 exhibits in the past year. This publication honors these scholarly and artistic achievements. The College held its annual recognition of outstanding faculty accomplishment on April 20, 2012. Faculty members honored as recipients of the College’s faculty awards were: Dr. Daniel Fouke (philosophy) for outstanding teaching, Dr. Ruihua Liu (mathematics) for outstanding scholarship, and Drs. Theo and Linda Majka (sociology, anthropology, and social work) for outstanding service. Prof. Les Steinlage (mathematics) and Prof. Anthony Talbott (political science) each received awards for outstanding contribution by a full-time, non-tenure-line faculty member. Brief articles are included in this publication about the exemplary commitments of these faculty colleagues to their students, their scholarly fields, and the University. The College also recognizes the accomplishment and dedication of its faculty retirees, Dr. Fred Inscho (political science), Dr. Larry Lain (communication), Dr. Louis Marre (English), Dr. Pat Palermo (history), and Prof. Gerald Shaughnessy (mathematics). Collectively, these colleagues have contributed 205 years of valuable service to the College. Finally, this publication recognizes the installation of one endowed faculty chair: Dr. Richard Chenoweth (music) is the fourth holder of the Graul Chair in Arts and Languages. It is a privilege to work with a teacher and scholar of Dr. Chenoweth’s distinction. I offer this publication with gratitude for the outstanding work and vibrant collegial culture of the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Dayton. Paul H.
