Jackson Fellows News Every year, the Hulbert Center for Southwestern Studies invites Colorado College faculty who teach courses in Southwest Studies to apply for released time or research grants to pursue scholarly and creative projects focused on the American Southwest. The Jackson Fellows program is funded by an endowment created by the Helen Jackson and William S. Jackson family. We are pleased to announce the recipients of Jackson Fellowships for the 2007-08 academic year.
2008-2009 AWARDS Victoria Levine, Professor of Music, received funding in lieu of summer teaching to devote the summer to a project which focuses on a detailed analysis and musicological comparison of Mississippi Choctaw social dance songs recorded by Frances Densmore in 1933 with Okahoma Choctaw social dance songs Victoria recorded in 1985 (there are about 200 individual songs altogether). Brian Linkhart, Professor of Biology, received funds to conduct research to determine how efforts to thin ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests affect breeding populations of Flammulated Owls (Otus flammeolus) in Colorado. Mario Montano, Professor of Anthropology, received funds for course development for a field-based research project with the purpose of exposing students to various environmental and cultural issues related to the Southwest, with emphasis on the Rio Grande River Basin. He has been teaching this course for years but would like to refine it. Eric Perramond, Professor of Southwest Studies, received funding to pursue course development and new research directly related to the Southwest Studies and Environmental Science programs. He will be using the summer of 2008 to develop a more research-intensive basis for the newly approved course SW301: Political Ecology of the Southwest. Eric Popkin, Professor of Sociology, received funding for 1 block teaching release time to expand the breadth of his U.S.-Mexican border course and establish the community connections necessary to incorporate a field componet in Southern Mexico that focuses on root causes of migration. He will travel to the U.S.-Mexican border region and Southern Mexico to plan logistics for the course, Globalization and Migration from Southern Mexico to the U.S. Southwest.
