RDC faculty members recognized for scholarly work
Red Deer College honoured four faculty members for their achievements at Thursday’s Recognition of Scholarly Activity Celebration.
Each year, a jury comprised of members from the Recognition of Scholarly Activity committee selects the recipient(s) from applications submitted by faculty members. Applications are assessed on innovation, creativity, originality, influence, acclaim and breadth of dissemination.
The award recipients, who are being recognized for scholarly activities completed in 2017, include:
Dr. Jenna Butler | Publication of her chapter entitled “Unbodying the Bawdy in Robert Kroetsch” in the book Robert Kroetsch: Essays on His Works.
