Recognition for Dartmouth faculty, staff, and students
Angela
Rosenthal, associate professor of art history, has received the Historians
of British Art’s 2008 book prize in the pre-1800 category for Angelica
Kauffman: Art and Sensibility (Yale University Press, 2006). The
Historians of British Art is an affiliated society of the College Art
Association whose purpose is to promote scholarship related to British art and
architecture. Angelica Kauffman explores the career of one of the most
successful female artists of the 18th century. Rosenthal specializes in early
modern European visual culture (particularly British art within a global
perspective), with an emphasis on cultural history, gender studies, feminist
and postcolonial theory, and the history of art criticism. She teaches courses
on European art of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the theories and methods of
art history.
Associate Professor of Music Steve Swayne has
received one of two 2008 Dena Epstein Awards for Archival and Library Research
in American Music from the Music Library Association. This grant is awarded
annually to support research in archives or libraries internationally on any
aspect of American music. The funding will support Swayne’s research to
complete a book about composer William Schuman.
Three Dartmouth faculty members are among 13 recipients of 2007 grants from
the New Hampshire Innovation Research Center (NHIRC). Obtaining grants were Minh
Phan, associate professor of engineering, in partnership with AAC
International, a Lebanon, N.H., consulting firm; Ronald
Lasky, professor of engineering, in partnership with Graphicast Inc., of
Jaffrey, N.H.; and Randolph Noelle,
professor of microbiology and immunology, in partnership with ImmuRx Inc., of
Lebanon, N.H. The grants, which underwrite research partnerships involving New
Hampshire companies, were announced in January. They leverage an investment by
the state with federal dollars from the National Science Foundation’s
Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).
