The College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s office has partnered with the Office of Research and Economic Development to promote scholarship in the Humanities. Associate Dean Rebecca Bach, Ph.D. is working with disciplines in the humanities to help faculty pursue their research on a local and global level. Some of the projects being funded include the study of Seamus Heaney’s shifting views on Catholicism by Kieran Quinlan, Ph.D. Additional funds have been awarded to Marshall Abrams, Ph.D. to develop software that models cultural change and to Brian Steele, Ph.D. who is researching Thomas Jefferson’s beliefs about freedom of thought. Steele’s historiography sheds light on our current debates about the founding fathers, religion, and politics. These are only a few of the many projects being funded to promote scholarship in the humanities. For more information please contact Associate Dean Rebecca Bach at rbach@uab.edu.
