Liz Langdon did not earn her doctorate until she was 65, long after she had earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fine arts and education, and after years of teaching at the Joslyn Art Museum and in Omaha Public Schools, Nebraska. She joined the KU Department of Visual Art faculty as a visiting professor in 2017. Now, at age 72, Langdon is trying to make the most of her time to influence a new generation of art educators. Langdon tells her story in a chapter titled, “The Long Hill: One Lifelong Learner’s Meandering Path to the Doctorate in Art Education,” in the new book “Art Education and Creative Aging: Older Adults as Learners, Makers, and Teachers of Art” (Routledge). Congrats, Liz! We're so grateful to have you in the College.

Fostering Research Expansion in the Social Sciences & Humanities (FRESSH)
The FRESSH Program is designed to help scholars in the arts, social sciences, and humanities in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences apply for and obtain external funding for their research. The program will consist of workshops during the 2024-25 academic year during which scholars will work with invited guests and one another to develop a proposal suitable for submitting to an external funding agency such as the NEH, ACLS, NSF, or a foundation or residential fellowship program outside the University of Kansas. The program will introduce participants to resources internal to KU and facilitate the development of proposals. The program also aims to develop community and collaboration among participants. Deadline is Aug. 19, 2024.
