Ellen T. Blaney Humanities Prize
Ellen T. Blaney instilled in her children a broad love of reading and intellectual curiosity. Her library contained an eclectic offering of everything from philosophy, religion, history, and literary journalism to theatre, music, and film. Authors she admired ranged from Tielhard de Chardin to Malcom X to Woodward and Bernstein. Always a proponent of the liberal arts, she also enjoyed the guilty pleasure of an occasional celebrity biography. Any tenure-line, non-tenure track, AP, adjunct, or emeritus faculty member is eligible to apply through their appropriate academic unit in the College of Arts and Sciences. Nominees from any CAS department/school or interdisciplinary unit may apply through the chosen process of their academic home department. Humanistic inquiry from the sciences, mathematics, and social sciences are welcomed to apply in addition to more traditional humanities disciplines. Departments/schools may only forward one nomination.
