Texas A&M University

The Glasscock Center is dedicated to fostering and celebrating the humanities and humanities research among the community of scholars at Texas A&M University and in the world beyond the academy.

The Glasscock Center awards residential fellowships, research fellowships, course development grants, funding for working groups, publication support, and research matching awards for independent and cross-disciplinary research in the humanities.

Fellows and grants recipients are integral to the Center's on-going programs and activities through their participation in research lunches, faculty and graduate colloquia, book chats, working groups, and seminar series. The Glasscock Center also recognizes outstanding scholarship annually with an international book prize, the Susanne M. Glasscock Humanities Book Prize for Interdisciplinary Scholarship, which is accompanied by a guest lecture from the recipient and a community event. Coordinated by the Glasscock Center, the Mary Jane and Carrol O. Buttrill '38 Endowed Fund for Ethics supports lectures, roundtables, special events, and course activities.

Growing from Interdisciplinary Group for Historical Literary Studies, founded in 1987, the Center for Humanities Research was created by the Board of Regents of Texas A&M University in 1999 and received a naming endowment in 2002. This name change recognizes an extraordinary gift from Melbern G. Glasscock '59 and Susanne M. Glasscock, which constitutes a sustaining endowment for the Center.

The Glasscock Center is a unit of the College of Liberal Arts and is located on the third floor of the Glasscock Building on the Texas A&M University Campus.

FROM THE DIRECTOR On behalf of the Glasscock team, I would like to express our support and sympathy to members of the university community and caregivers who have experienced illness, the illness of friends or loved ones or, worse, lost lives from the current pandemic. It has been an extremely challenging year, locally and globally.

Although many have had the opportunity to be vaccinated, much suffering continues. These difficult times bring to the forefront the importance of shared humanity across communities and more widely across societies and cultures.

At Texas A&M, the courage and resilience of students, faculty, and staff has been a source of constant support for all. Here at the Glasscock Center, we have been especially grateful for your steadfast participation in our programs and taking the lead in myriad co-sponsored activities related to humanities research. The work of our Advisory Committee is deeply valued for their review of our grant applications and assistance in shaping the direction of the Center's work. As I reflect on the past year, I am certain that we could not have achieved our mission without you!

Running our programs successfully during the ongoing pandemic has required imagination and constant readjustments to meet the needs of humanities and humanistic social science scholars on campus. These adjustments have prioritized flexibility, creativity, and safety. Our cohort of Undergraduate Summer Scholars and their Faculty Directors carried out their intensive research project seminars and training virtually.

Glasscock faculty and graduate fellows supported each other’s research by participating in their weekly works-in-progress colloquia via Zoom. The Center launched several responsive grants, for example, our COVID-19 Micro-grant invited faculty and students to engage with lived experiences of the pandemic through arts practice and humanities research. Eleven projects from the grant were showcased in a Virtual Exhibition which kicked-off our annual Glasscock Humanities Festival. Projects ranged from “Music for Solitude” to “Lotería in the Age of COVID-19: Two Artistic Visions.” Given the challenges created by the pandemic and their impact on faculty and graduate student research, we launched a Summer Fellowship grants program and awarded six grants to TAMU faculty for the purpose of hiring a graduate student to assist with research.

Our Global Health Humanities initiative responded to the pandemic by exploring frontline workers' stories about training challenges in the health professions, emotional and physical burnout, and priorities in patient care during a time of crisis through its series, “Frontline Workers’ Stories During COVID-19.” Opening out to a wider view, a half-day webinar symposium, “The Long-Term Impacts of Pandemics: Ongoing Disruptions to Society, Families, and the Economy,” focused on various disruptions to individuals, society, and economies during and after epidemics. This symposium was organized through a partnership with the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs at The Bush School of Government and Public Service.

Our Humanities: Land Sea Space initiative collaborated with Texas A&M’s Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center to hold a virtual event series on “Coastal Communities and Justice,” with the aim of exploring environmental justice, energy, community, climate change, and forms of resilience in coastal areas in Texas and beyond. The series’ main event streamed the award-winning film, Seadrift, and featured a Q&A and discussion with the film’s director, Tim Tsai, and associate director, Thao Ha. I encourage you to find out more about the series by listening to a podcast produced by the Consortium for Humanities Centers and Institutes’ Voices from the Global Humanities program.

The 21st Annual Susanne M. Glasscock Humanities Book Prize for Interdisciplinary Scholarship was awarded to Professor Susan Neiman for Learning From the Germans: Race and the Memory of Evil. In her deeply topical book, she draws upon philosophical reflection, personal stories, and interviews with both Americans and Germans to explore how they are grappling with the evils of their own national histories. We welcomed Professor Neiman to the Center through a webinar during which she received the award and delivered the prize lecture.

The generosity of Melbern and Susanne Glasscock, together with the commitment of faculty, students, and staff, enables the Center to fulfill its mission of fostering and celebrating the humanities and humanities research among the community of scholars at Texas A&M University and in the world beyond the academy.

Thank you, all, for your support.

GLASSCOCK INITIATIVES

GLOBAL HEALTH HUMANITIES The growing field of Health Humanities seeks to understand cultural practices and products related to health and illness. In particular, by examining different forms of human expression, the humanities offers necessary insight into the lived experience of global health issues. This initiative examines the narrative and artistic expression of individuals' experiences of illness and health in a global context, by inviting discussion of such forms as song, performance, written narrative, oral history, and visual media.

Using methods drawn from the humanities and humanistic social sciences, this initiative explores such topics as health inequities, access to care, gender health disparities, colonial and neocolonial health discourses, human health and climate change, human health and ecology, and immigration and health.

Such interdisciplinary scholarship is necessary to better comprehend the historical, political, and economic impact of global diseases.

EVENTS "Frontline Workers' Stories During COVID-19" Miniseries (Fall 2020) A multi-part webinar series focused on how Health Humanities can engage the stories emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussions focused on the stories and experiences of frontline workers. Speakers addressed topics such as training challenges in the health professions, emotional and physical burnout, and priorities in patient care during a time of crisis. These discussions were chaired by Dr. Jessica Howell.

"The Long-Term Impacts of Pandemics: Ongoing Disruptions to Society, Families and the Economy" (March 1, 2021) This half-day symposium was a joint collaboration between the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs at the Bush School of Government and Public Service and the Glasscock Center. Topics focused on social disruptions to individuals, society, and economies during and after epidemics.

Panels incorporated the perspectives of those with first-hand experience of epidemics, as well as humanities scholars and healthcare practitioners. The conference considered stories of pandemics and epidemics that are less often heard and what happens after international attention and aid leave these communities, in order to highlight the significance of local and regional experiences.

The keynote was delivered by Dr. Gregg Mitman, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

GLASSCOCK INITIATIVES

HUMANITIES: LAND SEA SPACE Humanities and social science scholars have long-studied land, but recent catastrophic changes through global warming have shifted many discussions, raising geopolitical, environmental, and social justice issues. New cross-disciplinary work has emerged which addresses diverse topics such as water and food insecurity, energy cultures, coastal and island communities, the Anthropocene, deep time, extinctions, and ecological loss. Literature and the arts are motivating creative and imaginative work which explores nature-society interactions. The critical methods of the humanities, in conversation with the social and natural sciences, are needed to properly address such topics. This Glasscock Center initiative provides scope for innovative research across the environmental humanities, marine humanities, geohumanities, planetary humanities, energy humanities, health humanities, and public humanities. As reflected by the earth’s systems and ecologies, the triple themes of Land Sea Space are approached individually but also as interconnected.

EVENTS Coastal Communities and Justice (Fall 2020) This series of virtual events explored issues concerning environmental justice, energy, community, climate change, and forms of resilience in coastal areas in Texas and beyond. We collaborated with the Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center to present this series.

Humanities and Science Exchanges "Human-Subject Interconnectivity: Wild Animals and Research Ethics" | Chair: Dr. Emily Brady April 15, 2021 This event marked the launch of a new, occasional series, "Humanities and Science Exchanges," at the Glasscock Center. The aim of the series is to encourage connection and collaboration between the humanistic and scientific disciplines. These events invite scholars to engage with the same topic -- from their own fields or interdisciplinary perspectives -- in the spirit of exchanging ideas and opening up to a variety of approaches.

Our first exchange focused on the relationship researchers have with their nonhuman subjects. What are the ethics of our field methods? How do we decide our field methods? What do we consider before going out into the field? How do we view our relationships with our subjects and the surrounding ecosystem?

SUSANNE M. GLASSCOCK

HUMANITIES BOOK PRIZE

FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY SCHOLARSHIP

21 ST ANNUAL BOOK PRIZE The Glasscock Book Prize, first awarded in 1999, originated by the Texas A&M Center for Humanities Research was permanently endowed in December 2000 by Melbern G. Glasscock '59 and his wife Susanne M. Glasscock, for whom the prize is now named. Nominated books are informed by research and expertise, yet are concerned with an appeal to a wider than academic audience. In celebration of the Prize, we hold annual events including a book brunch, the Prize-winning author's lecture, and an associated community event.

This year's prize was presented to Dr. Susan Neiman for her book, Learning from the Germans: Race and the Memory of Evil (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2019). On Wednesday, March 3, 2021, Dr. Neiman delivered a virtual lecture at the Glasscock Center and formally received the prize. Drs. Clare Katz (Philosophy) and Robert Shandley (International Studies) facilitated a Q+A with Dr. Neiman at the end of the lecture.

Learning from the Germans drives an urgently needed perspective for a country to see its wrongdoings. Professor Neiman draws upon her experiences growing up during the civil rights era in the US South and a Jewish woman living much of her adult life in Berlin to write her book on assessing the past and present in order to create a better future. She uses philosophical reflection, personal stories, and interviews with both Americans and Germans who are grappling with the evils of their own national histories. As Americans become increasingly polarized, Learning from the Germans observes the work contemporary Americans are doing to confront their history of racial violence, and asks what we can learn from the Germans in the wake of white nationalist attacks, ongoing debates about reparations, and controversies concerning Confederate monuments in the US.

GLASSCOCK UNDERGRADUATE The objective of this program is to expand undergraduate research in the humanities by providing an intensive summer research experience in which students will be introduced to important research questions, trained in methods of research analysis, and guided in the development of critical thinking, independent learning, and communication skills. Students (selected by faculty directors) enroll in a two-week intensive seminar taught by a faculty member at the beginning of the ten-week summer session. In the seminar, students are immersed in a focused topic and develop a research question that they will then investigate under the mentorship of the faculty member for the remaining eight weeks of the summer.

Students are required to attend writing workshops created especially for this program through the Writing Center throughout the eight-week period. Faculty are encouraged to meet with students every two weeks after the intensive two-week seminar to discuss progress on each phase of the project after each of the Writing Center workshops. The Glasscock Center directs this program, in partnership with LAUNCH: Undergraduate Research and the Writing Center.

Due to COVID-19, this program was delivered virtually.

"#MeToo and the Transnational Politics of Social Media Feminism"

Faculty Director: Vanita Reddy, English Undergraduate Scholars: Nydia Gomez | Major: International Studies Zoe Simmons | Major: English Megha Viswanath | Major: International Studies This seminar examined the myriad social and political effects of one of the most politically exigent feminist movements of our time. It examined the limitations and possibilities of #MeToo as a transnational feminist movement for gender justice and feminist solidarities, focusing on its impact on cultural representation, media institutions, youth cultures, university campuses, and other social movements, as well as representations of gender-based violence in literature and visual media. Thus, the course appealed especially to students aspiring to be feminist scholars of the humanities and social sciences.

SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM

"Gauchos and Charros: Discovering Historical and Socio-political Parallels Through Multimodal Social Semiotic Analysis"

Faculty Director: Gabriela Zapata, Hispanic Studies Undergraduate Scholar: Ariadne Pacheco | Major: International Studies The purpose of this course was to discover the historical and sociopolitical parallels between gauchos in Argentina and charros in Texas, through multimodal social semiotic analyses of representations of these groups from the 1930s and 40s. The class analyzed representations such as those in the Argentinean magazine "Caras y Caretas," and posters, advertisements, and photographs from “Charro Days” in Brownsville. Students also read scholarly publications in the fields of history, anthropology, and cultural studies to broaden their knowledge of the historical period and geographical context in which the ensembles were created. In the next step, students established connections between their analysis and sociopolitical factors to discover how the works studied reflected the hidden intentions of the governing classes and social elites, and how these representations contributed to transform both gauchos and charros into mythical national symbols.

"Energy, Environment and Literatures and Film from the Global South"

Faculty Director: Carmela Garritano, International Studies Undergraduate Scholars: Lauren Curtis | Major: International Studies Gabrielle Doucet | Major: International Studies This seminar introduced students to the methods of energy humanities and ecocriticism.

Students read intensely and met regularly (and remotely) to engage energy humanities theory and ecocriticism as they try to understand the organizing questions, critical approaches, key words, and major thinkers of the field. In addition, students studied cultural production (literary writing and cinema) from the global South and practiced using the methods of energy humanities to analyze these forms. The main objective of the two-week seminar was to develop a critical orientation attuned to energy, the environment, and the uneven distribution of wealth, risk, and violence produced by economies of energy and resource extraction in a world motored by fossil fuels. The seminar was of interest to students who want to explore the role of the humanities in addressing fossil-fuel dependence, climate crisis, and the creation of more equitable and greener energy futures.

“…this experience was very enriching. Having the opportunity to work so intensely on a topic that I am passionate about was so enjoyable. I am genuinely proud that I get to say that I have published work at Texas A&M University!”

- Zoe Simmons, English

“Because of the research training and seminar I attended, I was able to bridge together ideas that interested me throughout my college career and turn my research into something I was excited about. Also, this seminar helped me independently think through complex concepts. I benefited greatly from this program as I met students who shared similar interests and I maintained a great relationship with my faculty mentor.”

- Nydia Gomez, International Studies

THREE-YEAR SEMINARS Organized and led by faculty from departments in the College of Liberal Arts and programs affiliated with the Glasscock Center, these seminars provide a forum for a wide variety of faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students from the humanities and social science disciplines to present and discuss research in progress, invite speakers, and host symposia. The seminars meet regularly during the three-year cycle, and participants are expected to define and complete a major project by the end of their three-year term. Outcomes may include but are not limited to: edited volumes, a series of articles, a database, or other project that makes a major impact in the humanities. Grants of $3,000 are provided each of the three years that the seminars are in existence.

"#MeToo and the Transnational Politics of Social Media Feminism" (2019-2022) Organized by Vanita Reddy, English & Chaitanya Lakkimsetti, Sociology #MeToo is not a movement whose uptake outside the US simply replicates US-based models of gender justice. It is one that broadens the creative and political ways in which we think about violence, gender norms, patriarchies, and feminism. #MeToo and the Transnational Politics of Social Media Feminism convenes interdisciplinary scholars, artists, and activists from within and outside TAMU to examine the limitations and possibilities of #MeToo as a transnational feminist movement for gender justice. Participants examine the public uptake of the media hashtag across different national sites since it went viral in 2016. They research and discuss the real-time impact of #MeToo on public policy, state elections, workplace relations, media institutions, youth cultures, university campuses, and other social movements, while also attending to the feminist of color/third-world feminist genealogies from which it emerged.

COVID-19 AND THE HUMANITIES The Glasscock Center developed additional grants to support faculty and students during the continued pandemic, including a Micro-grant for arts and humanities projects, funds to support virtual guest lectures in the digital classroom, grants to support online writing groups, seminars on the lived experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic, and fellowships to allow faculty to hire graduate assistants for the summer.

Virtual Exhibition | February 1, 2021

During the summer of 2020, the Glasscock Center awarded the Glasscock COVID-19 Micro-grant to eleven individuals. This micro-grant program, inspired by the Willson Center's Shelter Projects, was offered to help support the TAMU community in developing shareable arts and humanities-based works engaging their experiences of the current pandemic. The awarded projects vary in artistic and academic nature and became available for viewing through our Virtual Exhibition in February 2021. This exhibition was live through summer 2021, which allowed us to update and add pieces to unfinished or ongoing projects.

Glasscock Summer Research Fellowship

In order to provide more research support given continuing effects on research activities from the pandemic, the Glasscock Center offered a new funding opportunity to support both faculty and graduate students in affiliated departments. These grants were available to faculty for the purpose of hiring a graduate student to assist with research during the summer of 2021. The grant provided $5,000 in salary to pay the graduate student for work as a full-time GAR during the 3 summer months. In addition, we provided funds to cover the 6 hours of tuition and fees for which GARs must be enrolled. The purpose of the grant was to support faculty and graduate research from within the Texas A&M community.
