Dr. James Rhoads Earns 2012-2013 Henderson Lectureship Award
Posted on Thursday, March 15, 2012
Dr. James Rhoads, Westminster College professor of political science, has earned the 2012-2013 Henderson Lectureship Award.
Rhoads will describe his two-step research strategy designed to reveal insights into how ordinary citizens - self-described partisans of various ideological stripes - construct their political attitudes.
Rhoads, who joined the Westminster faculty in 1992, earned an undergraduate degree, master's degree, and Ph.D. from Kent State University.
The Henderson Lecture was founded by the late 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 was 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.
The 2012-2013 lecture is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m. in McKelvey Campus Center's Witherspoon Maple Room.
