Westminster College Selects Henderson Lecturer

Dr. Nancy A. Macky, associate professor of English at Westminster College, has been selected to receive the 2001-02 Henderson Lectureship Award.

Macky will be on a year-long sabbatical serving as the newly elected Visiting Scholar of Wolfson College of Oxford University. During this time, she will collaborate with Jon Stallworthy, a world-renowned poet, critic, former poetry editor of the Oxford University Press, and editor of several literary anthologies. Macky and Stallworthy are collaborating a book on Staffworthy's writings, which will include the first complete bibliography of all his works, as well as selected essays and reviews of his books.

As part of Westminster College's sesquicentennial celebration, Macky will give her Henderson Lecture in April 2002. The topic will focus on her sabbatical research.

Macky's distinguished career includes a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to study at Columbia University, active involvement in the East Central Colleges, and teaching seminars at Princeton Theological Seminary Institute. She has also co-authored a chapter in Learning Literature in an Era of Change: Innovations in Teaching.

Macky, who has been with Westminster College since 1993, earned her undergraduate degree from Rutgers University, and her masters and Ph.D. from Kent State University.

The Henderson Lecture, founded by Dr. Joseph R. Henderson and his wife, Elizabeth, was established to encourage and recognize original and continuing research and scholarship among Westminster College faculty, and to afford the opportunity for faculty to share their learning with the academic community.

Dr. Henderson, professor Emeritus of education at Westminster College, served as chair of the Department of Education and director of the Graduate Program.
