Dr. David Twining Earns Henderson Lecturership Award
Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010
Dr. David Twining, Westminster College professor of history, has earned the 2010-2011 Henderson Lectureship Award.
The Henderson Lecture was founded by Dr. Joseph R. Henderson and his wife, Elizabeth, 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 is a professor of education emeritus at Westminster, having served as chair of the Department of Education and as director of the Graduate Program.
Each year, Westminster faculty members may nominate themselves or others to receive the lectureship, which includes a stipend to support a specific research project. A faculty committee chooses the winner.
Twining's lecture will focus on "The Lost Generation of the 1960s" and is based on research conducted during a sabbatical in the fall 2007 semester.
Twining, who joined the Westminster faculty in 1990, earned an undergraduate degree from the College of Wooster, master's from the University of Virginia, and Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University.
The 2010-2011 lecture is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 6, in the Witherspoon Maple Room of the McKelvey Campus Center.
