Letter from the IAH Director

Letter from the IAH Advisory Board Chair

Dear Friends,

In the pages that follow, you will see highlights from the Institute’s activities and faculty achievements this past year. You will also see evidence of the commitment of the IAH staff, our program directors, and Advisory Board members in supporting the work of the Institute.

As I write this letter, I am about five months into my fouryear term as director of the Institute for the Arts and Humanities. Although I am new to this role, I have had the privilege of being involved with the IAH since I became a Faculty Fellow in 2002. In 2006, I was among the select group of Kauffman Faculty Fellows for Social Entrepreneurship, which advanced my research in that area of humanistic scholarship.

I completed the Academic Leadership Program in 2011, and I was twice a participant in the Chairs Leadership Program. It is an honor to give back as director to an institute that has given me so much during my 23 years at Carolina.

Recognizing the challenging context in which that work was accomplished not only demonstrates the resilience of the human spirit, but it also points to the critical role of the IAH as a sure place during difficult times. The recent loss of some faculty colleagues, including faculty of color and Indigenous faculty who make up a fraction of the university, is a wake-up call for those who strive for a place that welcomes all. Moreover, we are facing ongoing global public health crises, social injustices surrounding race, urgent issues of climate change, and negative national and international headlines focusing on governance at UNC-Chapel Hill. And yet, faculty, staff, and students are showing up in their classrooms, labs, offices, art studios, and other spaces to do their work — meaningful work that is making a difference in the lives of people locally, nationally, and globally.

Patricia Parker

The Institute is one of the sure places on this campus where faculty can find an inclusive and affirming culture to develop their research and creative scholarship; where they can engage with faculty from across the university who, like them, are consumed with curiosity and driven by compassion to tackle the world’s pressing problems; and where we can imagine a vibrant, just, and equitable future. At the IAH, we aim to be a model of faculty support in the service of students and the public good.

Director, Institute for the Arts and Humanities

As with other sectors across campus, the IAH will join efforts to vigorously pursue an ethic of care that can hold our community as we make our way back into some new sense of normalcy. I envision the IAH as a model for cultivating a culture of belonging across the College of Arts & Sciences and beyond.

In these uncertain times, ensuring that our faculty have all the resources they need to flourish has never been more critical. As we head into a new year, I am hopeful that the Institute for the Arts and Humanities will stay true to its legacy as a sure place on campus where human flourishing is the order of the day.

My goal as director is to continue this legacy through steady, collaborative leadership and ardent fundraising that sustain the Institute’s core programs and position us for strategic growth. I am grateful to my predecessor, Andrew Perrin, for his leadership of the Institute through June 30, 2021, and for continuing — and elevating — the important work of supporting faculty. We wish him the best in his new role at Johns Hopkins University.

To be continued,

Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices… in the classroom, in the auditoriums, and in the athletic stands. It is very exciting to see a return towards “normalcy” at UNCChapel Hill and here at the Institute for the Arts and Humanities. Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, the IAH continues forward with its important mission of supporting and empowering faculty. We appreciate the dedication, hard work, and perseverance of the IAH staff and the faculty who have participated in the programs through these uncertain times.

In her introductory remarks to the Advisory Board, Pat spoke to a vision of the IAH as a “sure place” which “can be defined as the people or places that ignite confidence.

The 21st century professoriate is emerging at a time of great uncertainty in the world in general and in the academy in particular. We need sure places in the academy to empower faculty to meet their full potential.”

The impact of her words was palpable and I believe that I speak for my fellow Advisory Board members in saying that we are invigorated and excited to be working closely with Pat to make the IAH the surest of places.

I would like to recognize and express appreciation to our former director, Andrew Perrin, for all his contributions to the Institute. Andy was truly an IAH culture carrier as a two-time Faculty Fellow, Academic Leadership Program Fellow and, most recently, as the fourth director of the IAH. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.

As we resume more normal operations this academic year, we welcome a cohort of 17 to the Faculty Fellowship Program, eight to the Tyson Academic Leadership Program and eight to John Wickham the Chair’s Leadership Program.

Chair, IAH Advisory Board We have also welcomed three new program directors who will bring new energy and ideas.

The Institute remains in a strong position to offer these programs due to the exceptional support from the faculty, the College’s leadership, the University’s leadership, and our generous benefactors.

As has been communicated previously, Terry Rhodes, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, is retiring at the end of this academic year. As a former Faculty Fellow and Academic Leadership Fellow, and an incredibly strong advocate for the IAH in her many leadership roles, Terry will be missed.

In Ruel Tyson’s farewell remarks as IAH director almost 15 years ago he said, “…you must know and own the magic of your presence — you show up — never underestimate the effect and the affect of that.” I would extrapolate that sentiment to all of us who are interested in helping to develop and retain faculty of the highest quality at UNC. We need to support them, demonstrate our interest in their careers, and communicate our appreciation of their efforts. We simply need to show up.

I would like to warmly welcome the Institute’s newest director, Dr. Patricia Parker, who began her four-year term on July 1. She has been a member of the faculty since 1998, and was most recently the chair of the department of communication, one of the largest departments within the College of Arts & Sciences.

Pat is no stranger to the Institute — her first Faculty Fellowship was in 2002, the same year that Hyde Hall opened, and she has remained a friend of the Institute ever since.

Best regards,

FALL 2020 Faculty Fellows

The Faculty Fellowship Program has supported over 600 fellowships in the College of Arts & Sciences since the program’s inception.

A semester-long leave allows faculty to pursue research and creative work that leads to publication, exhibition, composition, and performance. The interdisciplinary cohorts meet weekly, and the exchange of ideas enhances individual research projects.

The IAH Race, Memory, and Reckoning Initiative supports two additional fellowships dedicated specifically to faculty research, publication, support, education and outreach on race, reckoning and memory, from 2020-2023.

Faculty Programs and Initiatives At the Institute for the Arts and Humanities, we support faculty at every stage of their careers.

NEW FACULTY PROGRAM

Program Director: Pamela Lothspeich, Professor of Asian Studies Established in 2013, the New Faculty Program (NFP) introduces newly arrived College of Arts & Sciences faculty to interdisciplinary conversations and mentoring networks at the University.

The New Faculty Program is open to full-time faculty at all ranks who are within their first three years of appointment at UNC-Chapel Hill.

The program also offers the NFP Collaboration Grant, encouraging participants to work with a more senior faculty member. Read more on page 11.

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR PROGRAM

CHAIRS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Program Director: Philip Hollingsworth, IAH Program Administrator

Program Director: Peter Mucha, Professor of Mathematics

This program is designed to support newly tenured and promoted professors as they enter this transitional period, which may come with unique personal and professional challenges. All College faculty are invited to participate in the program in the first year following their promotion to associate professor.

Participants in the Associate Professor Program discuss opportunities for University service, preparing for promotion to full professor and more.

Spotlight: PUBLISHING 101 RETIRED FACULTY PROGRAM In 2020-2021, the New Faculty Program hosted “Publishing 101,” a virtual series to help new faculty successfully navigate the book publishing process, with a focus on the critical early phase of writing and editing, prior to submission of a manuscript to a press.

Due to the broad appeal of these events, they were opened to all faculty in the College of Arts & Sciences, though priority was given to new faculty for the workshop, where they received important feedback on their book proposals.

The series included: • “Your Book, From First Draft to Book Proposal to Book in Hand” • “Polishing Your Book: Working with an Academic Editor” • “Workshopping Your Book Proposal with an Academic Editor”

Co-facilitators: William Andrews, E. Maynard Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature and Catherine Marshall, Professor Emerita of the School of Education Members of the academic community spend many years in teaching, research, and leadership at a university. The transition to retirement can be challenging, but the Retired Faculty Program offers the space and time to shape this new stage of life. The program is a project of the UNC Retired Faculty Association and the Institute.

In 2021-2022, the Retired Faculty Program is led by William Andrews and Lynne Vernon-Feagans, the William C. Friday Distinguished Professor Emerita at UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Education.

FACULTY OF COLOR AND INDIGENOUS FACULTY WORKING GROUP

Facilitator: Michael Figueroa, Associate Professor of Music Launched in spring 2017, the Faculty of Color and Indigenous Faculty Group was established to provide support, community, and professional and leadership development for faculty of color and Indigenous faculty in the College of Arts & Sciences and professional schools at UNCChapel Hill. The group is one example of the Institute’s initiative to foster a diverse and affirming culture at Carolina.

Modeled on the Academic Leadership Program Fellowship, the Chairs Leadership Program hosts monthly confidential conversations where chairs can share ideas, identify best practices and explore critical issues related to the important roles they play within the university.

Chairs often balance multiple responsibilities and challenges within their department; the CLP offers them strategic direction and guidance in managing budgets and instructional programs, and recruiting and retaining faculty.

The CLP is open to newly appointed or reappointed chairs, creating a cohort that incorporates mentoring. In addition to the support the College provides to chairs through a council, comprehensive manual and support from the Dean’s Office senior leadership, the CLP provides peer support to discuss challenges facing the individual department chairs.

Peter Mucha led the program from 2017 to 2021. Amarjit Budhiraja, statistics and operations research professor, is serving as program director for the 2021-2022 year.

Grants and Awards To maintain the University’s status as a leading Research 1 university, UNC-Chapel Hill faculty stay current in their research, scholarship, and artistry. The Institute is proud to offer funding opportunities to support faculty. When faculty are supported, they can bring the knowledge they have acquired into the classroom as they teach Carolina students.

SCHWAB ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AWARD Current IAH Advisory Board member and former Chair Julia Sprunt Grumbles established the award in 2015 to help department chairs recognize teaching and scholarship. Nelson Schwab III, former IAH Advisory Board Chair, has since endowed the fund.

The $3,000 prize recognizes one faculty member in each department housed in the fine arts, humanities, and qualitative social sciences. Awardees may use the funds to advance their research, scholarship, or teaching. Each January, the IAH announces the 21 award winners. The winners for 2021 are listed below.

ARTS AND HUMANITIES RESEARCH GRANT PROGRAM

GRANTS FOR FACULTY FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS

In partnership with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, the grant supports research in scholarly, creative, and artistic pursuits in the fine arts and humanities. Grants provide support to individuals conducting their own research programs and to teams of two or more faculty developing a collaborative research program.

Awards are for one academic year and range from $2,000 to $8,000.

In keeping with the University’s commitment to providing a diverse intellectual and educational environment, this grant supports the professional careers and art/scholarship of faculty from underrepresented groups. Funds support research, conferences, workshops, professional development, work equipment, student research assistants, and similar. Awards are provided up to $2,500.

WILLIAM C. FRIDAY ARTS AND HUMANITIES RESEARCH FUND

NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE OFFICE OF THE VICE CHANCELLOR FOR RESEARCH

With generous support from the William C. Friday Leadership Fund, the Institute is proud to offer an exciting and enriching opportunity to undergraduate students to assist Carolina faculty in their research projects. The students contribute eight to 10 hours per week during one semester to support the project. Awards provide a $2,000 stipend to students and there are typically two to four per semester.

GEORGE JOHNSON PRIZE The George H. Johnson Prize for Distinguished Achievement by an IAH Fellow is a biennial award, which provides the recipient research funds and a banquet in the fellow’s honor. The prize started in 2008 and is named after one of the Institute’s great ambassadors.

The IAH created this award to honor Johnson and to recognize the exemplary contributions by faculty in the arts, humanities, and qualitative social sciences. The 2020-21 winner was Elizabeth Olson, an IAH Fellow and ALP Fellow who is currently Chair of the Department of Geography.

Arts and Humanities Publication Support Grant In 2020-21, the partnership launched a new grant that supports arts, humanities, and interpretive social science publication and performance

by UNC-Chapel Hill faculty.

The goal is to provide funding to increase the quality, contribution, or reach of books, recordings, and other academic or scholarly works. Examples include illustrations, indexing, publisher’s subventions, cover art, and similar. Awards are provided up to $2,500.

KING’S COLLEGE FUND UNC-Chapel Hill faculty and graduate students from participating units may apply to the fund for support of projects and collaborative events that advance the relationship between Carolina and King’s College London. This program is supported by the College of Arts & Sciences Dean’s Office, participating departments, UNC Global and administered by the IAH. Support for each funded proposal will typically range between $2,000 - $8,000.

“The Ink in the Grooves: Novelists and Musicians on Literature and Rock ‘n Roll (Cornell University Press, 2023) is a collection of essays and interviews about rock and literature from some of the most renowned novelists and musicians of our day.

Taken together, the essays ask readers to consider the familiar and fraught American story of how Black vernacular music was resurrected and reused by white rock and rollers.

The IAH Publication Support Grant, which went towards honoraria for its contributors, made this essential element of the book possible.”

Florence Dore PROFESSOR, ENGLISH AND COMPARATIVE LITERATURE, 2020 GRANT RECIPIENT

FIXED-TERM FACULTY SUPPORT FUND

NEW FACULTY PROGRAM COLLABORATION GRANT

Fixed-term faculty teach more total classes and introductory courses than tenure-track faculty. Despite reaching more students, fixed-term faculty do not receive the support, prestige, or job security of their tenure-line colleagues.

The IAH provides a fund of $6,000 to support their pedagogical or research portfolios.

The program provides funding for one to two participants in the New Faculty Program who collaborate with a more senior faculty member. Proposals for research projects that lead to a publication, creative activity, or grant proposal are prioritized. The grant has a total budget of $5,000 to award.

Events and Highlights Fostering conversation and creativity while together and apart

IAH ZOOM TALKS When the COVID-19 pandemic brought many in-person events to a halt, the Institute responded and offered stimulating conversations in a virtual space, including the IAH Zoom Talks.

The subjects of IAH Zoom Talks varied, but all brought the Institute to people’s homes across the country — and in some cases, the world. Topics ranged from the unprecedented issues related to the coronavirus outbreak to new works spurred by or created during the pandemic.

Q&A

Join the Conversation

with Lane McDonald VICE CHAIR OF THE IAH ADVISORY BOARD

Lane Morris McDonald ’00 is the Vice Chair of the Institute for the Arts and Humanities Advisory Board. She is the co-founder and managing partner of ESG Portfolio Partners, a boutique advisory firm. Prior to ESG, McDonald was the founding North American member of Partners Group’s Industry Value Creation team for its $100B AUM portfolio as its Global Head of Financials & Business Services. She has also held strategic operating roles at Ropes & Gray, JetBlue Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Express and Bain & Company.

I LOVED my short time at UNC and my experience was influenced by so many wonderful people who helped me get here and thrive here.

I feel an enormous obligation to do anything I can to support this place to ensure it can play the same role in the lives of others.

My career has always been in the business world, and I cannot tell you what a strategic advantage my humanities and journalism training has been — the ability to see connections, quickly get to the root of an issue, and tell stories in a clear and factual way is foundational.

Anyone can read a spreadsheet, but can you make someone understand the story in the data and help those around you work together to accomplish something? That’s the magic. My husband is also a history professor so political, societal, and economic history are all big dinner table topics in my house.

WHO WAS A FACULTY MEMBER THAT WAS IMPACTFUL TO YOU AS AN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT AT UNC? So many! I specifically remember taking James Kimball King’s English class as he also taught my father the same class 35 years before. I also remember Professor James White’s 20th century Asian political science class. Both professors were masters of their craft and excellent storytellers.

WHAT IS A GOOD BOOK YOU’VE READ RECENTLY? I tend toward ‘trash’ fiction… murder mysteries, spy novels, historical novels. Christopher Moore’s Fool, Shakespeare for Squirrels, and Biff all made me laugh

PODCASTS HOW HAVE THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES SHAPED YOUR LIFE OR CAREER?

PATRICIA S. PARKER, PH.D.

ANGELA O’NEILL

After earning her Bachelor of Arts in journalism in 2000, McDonald served on UNC’s Young Alumni Leadership Council before an eight-year rotation on the IAH Advisory Board. Now in her second rotation, she currently chairs the IAH Advisory Board nominating committee in addition to serving on the Chancellor’s Philanthropic Council.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO SERVE THE UNIVERSITY AS AN ALUMNA?

CONTACTS

out loud (somewhat embarrassing while on the subway, so be warned). You can’t go wrong with anything by Kate Quinn or Tana French — they both consistently weave a good yarn. I also listened to a Great Courses lecture series this summer taught by a former Carolina professor named Garrett Fagan about the history of Ancient Rome, which highlighted frightening parallels to the United States’ current situation.

With over 100 episodes featuring Faculty Fellows and special guests, The Institute podcast allows you to hear directly from faculty about their current research projects.

Listen to riveting discussions on scholarship, leadership, and teaching.

WHY DO YOU THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT THE INSTITUTE FOR THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES?

You can listen and subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and SoundCloud.

These interviews allow you to be “in the room” as we explore the depth and importance of the arts and humanities in today’s world.

Basically, there is no UNC without its wonderful professors. The IAH serves as a place where professors are supported and celebrated as great teachers and scholars and can hone their craft. I am grateful to be able to play a tiny part in supporting and continuing the great work of this foundational institute.
