Faculty Authors Recognized at Book Reception
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. – Middlebury College celebrated the accomplishments of faculty authors at a reception on April 4 in the Davis Family Library’s Special Collections and Archives room. Seventeen books by Middlebury faculty members, completed in 2016, were on display at the annual gathering.
Jim Ralph, Rehnquist professor of American history and culture and dean of faculty development and research welcomed the gathering, noting the continued importance of books to the academy in the digital age.
“I’m sure each of you have an answer to the question, ‘why write a book?,’ said Ralph in his welcoming remarks. “I would wager that all of you would say–whether you are the sole author, a co-author, an editor, or a translator–that you had something that you wanted to say, that you wished to communicate with others. That desire, that mission, ultimately led to the commitment necessary to see through your books from inception, to drafts, to gaining a contract, to reviewing proofs, to publication.”
