Ryan and Bourriaud Shine at annual Elizabeth Bennett Reading
This fall, faculty recipients of the Elizabeth Bennett Writing Grant read from their recent work at a gathering at the Cranbrook Library Reading Room. Second-year grant recipient, history instructor Dr. Elizabeth Ryan, shared highlights from her summer research on "Bachelor Mothers." First-year grant recipient Audrey Bourriaud read poetry and excerpts from two novels on which she is working. Her book “Ten Love Stories from Paris and Somewhere Else,” which will be published in France next month.
The Bennett Faculty Writing Grant was established in 1984 The reading event was added ten years later, in 1994. The fund is given annually to one faculty member to fund a two-year writing project. Recipients demonstrate a reverence for the written word and seek to share that passion with students and colleagues. Candidates are selected through an application process that includes detailed plans for their process and samples of their writing. Thanks go to her former students who chose to honor her by establishing the Elizabeth Bennett writing grant. We are grateful to Caroline Cross Chinlund and Annie Sanders, from the Kingswood class of 1958, and Leslie Schimpke Johnston ’64 and Karen Hagenlocker ‘81 for their work on the grant, and to the many “Friends of the Bennett” for their contributions to the fund that have nurtured our faculty writers and made this evening possible.
