Faculty afield. Last May John Lear and Doug Sackman (history), as the culminating program of their jointly held James Dolliver National Endowment for the Humanities Distinguished Teaching Professorship, led a faculty field seminar exploring the U.S.-Mexico border and borderlands from El Paso/Ciudad Juarez to the Pacific. Participants included Ariela Tubert (philosophy), Andrew Gardner (sociology and anthropology), Robin Jacobson (politics and government), Elise Richman (art and art history), and Andrew Gomez (humanities).
