Maurice Hamington |
I wish to write a book, sympathetic Knowledge:
the Ethics and Politics of Jane Adams. For some time now, I have been
conducting research of the philosophy of Jane Adams...I believe that
my project has an excellent chance of getting published. The proposed
sabbatical will contribute to my professional growth as both a philosopher,
as a women's studies scholar, and as learning communities coordinator.
Adams was an early feminist. She fought for women's suffrage, created
support structures for women laborers, and helped launch the women's
peace movement. |

I want to revitalize my scholarly life
by learning about cutting edge research in tectonics and synthesizing
the history of theories of mountain building. I want to rekindle my
connection to the Earth by experiencing geology in the field and seeing,
firsthand, some of the most ancient and historically significant rocks
in the world. Tectonics have changed our interpretations of many mountain
ranges, including the Appalachians and their "companion"
range in western Europe and East Greenland, the Caledonides. |

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)
is a form of therapy developed by Dr. Albert Ellis. REBT principles
are discussed in most textbooks used in the speech communication courses
taught here at LCC. While I am familiar with the basics of REBT, I
would like to study this therapeutic approach in more depth so I can
use and teach the principles more effectively. |

My goal is to become less isolated as
an economics professional. Less isolated technologically, less isolated
from the greater community outside of LCC, less isolated from fellow
econ educators, and those that represent economics through the media.
I will visit with other econ instructors who have developed inviting
web sites. I will then construct my own economics web site. I will
meet and interact with an experienced professional in the field of
economics media. |

museums and contemporary art museums and libraries. |

My goal is to improve my own understanding
of the diverse ways in which knowledge of chemistry is used on the

perceptions of the importance of chemical literacy in their workplace. |
