Faculty Awards
Scholarly Accomplishment Award 2015
Tenured Ohio State Newark
The winner of the 2015 Scholarly Accomplishment Award, tenured category, is Dr. Elizabeth Weiser. With one authored book, two co-edited volumes, 15 articles and book chapters, and a second book manuscript in final preparation, Dr. Weiser has been an extraordinarily prolific scholar. Furthermore, top scholars and reviewers in her field have widely recognized that her scholarship is both “ground breaking” and “field-shaping.” In 2008 she was named Kenneth Burke Society Emerging Scholar, the most promising new scholar in her area of study. Her recent collection, Women and Rhetoric between the Wars, published last year, was nominated for the field of rhetoric’s principal award for feminist historiography, Winifred Bryan Homer Outstanding Book Award. Her current project entitled Museum World also promises to be significant for the development of her field: it explores the rhetoric of nationalism in national museums, involving gathering data from some 60 museums in 21 nations on 6 continents. Its publication is already widely anticipated by the international community.
