Dr. David Twining, ¾¨Ó㴫ý professor of history, has earned the 2010-2011 Henderson Lectureship Award.
The Henderson Lecture was founded by Dr. Joseph R. Henderson and his wife, Elizabeth, to encourage and recognize original and continuing research and scholarship among ¾¨Ó㴫ý faculty, and to afford the opportunity for faculty to share their learning with the academic community. Dr. Henderson is a professor of education emeritus at ¾¨Ó㴫ý, having served as chair of the Department of Education and as director of the Graduate Program.
Each year, ¾¨Ó㴫ý faculty members may nominate themselves or others to receive the lectureship, which includes a stipend to support a specific research project. A faculty committee chooses the winner.
Twining's lecture will focus on "The Lost Generation of the 1960s" and is based on research conducted during a sabbatical in the fall 2007 semester.
Twining, who joined the ¾¨Ó㴫ý faculty in 1990, earned an undergraduate degree from the College of Wooster, master's from the University of Virginia, and Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University.
The 2010-2011 lecture is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 6, in the Witherspoon Maple Room of the McKelvey Campus Center.
