Come celebrate the good research in which your faculty colleagues have been engaging, and strategize as well about finding the structure, time, and funding for your own research projects. Mary Trull has just finished a period of research on the funded by a St. Olaf Faculty Development "released time" grant and the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS). She researched and wrote a book chapter on public and private spheres in the work of the 17th century writer (and secret agent) Aphra Behn. Kathy Tegtmeyer Pak also had an FDC "released time" grant, and was a finalist for a MacArthur Fellowship. Her project investigates how immigration and citizenship policies provide a foundation for post-WWII Japanese national identity. They will start the conversation with an account of their projects, and of their efforts to find the time and money to do them. Please come join the discussion with ideas, dreams, and plans of your own!
