“You cannot step into the same river twice,” a paradox uttered more than twenty-five hundred years ago by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus. Continuity

amidst endless change was the burden of his musings. How can Carolina—and the Institute for the Arts and

Humanities (IAH)—retain its distinctive identity, its special flavor, even as the world around us and the campus

we inhabit relentlessly rush forward? We need a strong sense of who we are as we adapt what we do and how we

do it to meet the new challenges of each day. This annual highlights brochure captures some of the ways the IAH

serves the UNC faculty and the UNC community.

Our new chancellor, Holden Thorp, embodies UNC’s simultaneous ties to the past and to the future. Holden is

a young man for a chancellor, but his connection to Carolina goes beyond his own undergraduate days here in

the 1980s to his family’s even earlier ties to Chapel Hill. But Holden is just as obviously the future, with a vision

that builds upon a combination of entrepreneurship and service to the public as the foundations for a world-class

research university.

The Institute is proud to count Holden among the faculty who have come through our Academic Leadership

Program (ALP) and assumed key positions throughout the University. The ALP exists to encourage our faculty

to think creatively about the challenges facing and the mission motivating our academic work—and then to step

up and lead UNC into the future.

For its part, the IAH is dedicated to faculty

development in its many guises, from inculcating

the UNC spirit in our newest faculty to supporting

Carolina’s professors in their continual effort to

stand at the cutting-edge of teaching and research.

Our Faculty Fellows seminars, our various events

and conferences and our new initiative in the digital

arts and humanities all serve to recruit and retain a

superior faculty by providing them the opportunity

to grow intellectually and professionally.

Our distinctive identity at the IAH is the collaborative and collegial model we have evolved over the past twenty

years. Through the conversations the IAH fosters in Hyde Hall and around campus, we build the community of

professors, students and friends that gives Carolina its distinctive identity — excellence with a heart — even as the

subjects of the conversations change in response to the problems that today’s world poses.

I am delighted to announce that James Moeser, our Chancellor Emeritus, will be the newest participant in the

Institute’s conversations. After taking a sabbatical in the 2008–2009 academic year, Chancellor Moeser will

return to Chapel Hill and to an office in Hyde Hall, where he will contribute to the IAH’s leadership programs

and public outreach in the arts.

Our hospitality extends far beyond former chancellors. I invite each and every one of you to participate in our

ongoing events and programs. Details about upcoming events can be found at our Web site (www.iah.unc.edu).

join the conversation.

f r o m t h e d i r e c t o r

The mission of the Institute for the Arts and Humanities (IAH) is to foster intellectual community and faculty development at Carolina by supporting innovative teaching and research, especially in the arts and humanities.

The IAH’s two signature programs, the Faculty Fellowship Program and the Academic Leadership Program, build collegial relationships among faculty through

seminars that address research interests, teaching methods and goals

and leadership responsibilities.

The IAH assists in the recruitment and retention of a world-class faculty at UNC by identifying and supporting the work of our

best professors while also developing the campus leaders from among

the faculty who will ensure UNC’s ongoing excellence.

The IAH also provides opportunities for our fellows and visiting

scholars to reach on- and off-campus audiences, communicating

the spirit of the liberal arts to UNC’s many publics through

community programs and events.

Through our development of collegial relationships in our core

programs, and our support for cutting-edge research and teaching, the IAH provides a place for the vibrant

conversations that create intellectual community and make Carolina

the best place in the nation for faculty to be.

We also showcase the work of our faculty and this year honor the

achievements of Trudier Harris, the first recipient of The George H. Johnson Prize for an IAH Fellow.

The IAH strengthens the frequency, quality and impact of collaboration

among faculty. We seek philanthropic support from donors and foundations for the innovative teaching and

research of UNC’s arts and humanities professors.

DUke exCHANGe The IAH initiated a faculty exchange program with Duke University’s John Hope

Franklin Humanities Institute (FHI). Each year, one faculty member from UNC will join the FHI’s year-long

fellows seminar, and one faculty member from Duke will join our seminar each semester.

The FHI builds its seminars around a theme — the 2007 theme was “Recycle,” and next year’s will be “Alternative

Political Imaginings.” The exchange offers a UNC faculty member the opportunity to work with colleagues

from Duke on one shared topic. Richard Langston from Germanic languages and literature was the first UNC

faculty to participate in the Duke seminar. For the 2008–2009 academic year, Gregg Flaxman of English and

comparative literature will represent UNC.

In the meantime, the IAH’s open format provides an opportunity for Duke faculty whose work does not fall within

the selected theme to enjoy the benefits of collegial exchange about scholarly work, questions of teaching and

practical issues of career development. Eric Meyers of Duke’s religion department was the first Duke participant

in the IAH seminar. Next year, Philip Rupprecht from music will join us during the fall semester, and Marc

Schachter of romance studies will participate in the spring seminar.

ArTs FeLLowsHiPs We are pleased to announce that, starting in the 2009–2010 academic year,

two new faculty fellowships in the arts will be awarded each year. The recipients of the Arts Fellowships will

join the weekly seminars of the IAH’s Faculty Fellows Program. These new fellowships are made possible in

partnership with the Office of the Executive Director of the Arts and the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor

for Research.

The goal of the fellowships is to advance faculty scholarship in the arts and arts-related disciplines. In addition, the

fellowships will promote a closer connection between faculty working in the arts and humanities and the programs

offered by Carolina Performing Arts. We are especially excited about this new program because it advances our

desire to become more active in promoting and supporting the arts at Carolina and in the community.

CHAPmAN FAmiLy FACULTy FeLLowsHiPs Chapman Family Faculty Fellowships provide

semester-long, on-campus fellowships for faculty who have distinguished teaching records at UNC and regularly

teach undergraduate students. Our Chapman Fellows join the IAH Fellows for weekly lunches and conversations.

Rudinsky says she received valuable input from her

Fellows group. In addition to completing the project,

Rudinsky used part of her IAH fellowship semester to

develop a course on interactive media that will allow

students to create content for the evolving mixture of

technology available at the University.

The Ruel W. Tyson Jr. Academic Leadership Program

the institute helps prepare and support the next generation of academic

leaders through our semester-long Tyson Academic Leadership Program (ALP). Since 2001, our

Leadership Fellows have engaged in a series of activities to help them develop leadership skills,

clarify their career commitments, build a leadership network within the campus and extend their

contacts to other leaders beyond the University. In so doing, they build lasting relationships,

continuing to meet with their cohorts as a “forum” years after their semester ends.

In 2007– 2008, we launched our second leadership program, the Chairs Leadership Program (CLP), created through the

endowment of the ALP by alumni Barbara and Pitt Hyde in 2006.

The CLP offers first-time and reappointed chairs a year of monthly conversations in which they can share ideas, identify

best practices and explore important issues related to the important roles they play within the University. Communication

studies professor Bill Balthrop took the helm of the CLP as IAH associate director.

Thanks to a challenge grant of $500,000 from the William R.

Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust, the IAH now has a permanent $1

million Kenan Retention Fund to assist the College of Arts and

Sciences in the retention of faculty who are IAH Fellows.

The Kenan Retention Fund came on-line during the 2006–

2007 academic year and, to date, has provided funds for eight

faculty. The fund has helped UNC both craft counter-offers

for faculty who had outside offers and proactively recognize

extraordinary achievement.

A key feature of the fund is that it enables intervention

before a faculty member has an offer from another university.

It has been used as a means to discourage faculty from

applying to jobs they’ve been asked to consider. The Kenan

Retention Fund is a key resource for departmental chairs and

for the College of Arts and Sciences in the continuing effort to

recruit, develop and retain a great faculty.

The IAH also has initiated the Chairs Say Yes Fund, an

idea created by Nelson Schwab III. Through the generosity

of Schwab and the Hyde Family Foundations, the Institute

has been able to provide a $10,000 discretionary fund to the

chairs of nine different departments over the past three years.

Communication studies, anthropology, psychology, dramatic

arts, german languages and literatures, American studies,

art and art history, linguistics and African and Afro-American

studies have been the beneficiaries thus far.

These funds allow chairs to “say yes” to various requests

from faculty. Departments have used the funds for a variety

of purposes. One department bought new furniture for the

department lounge, and another bought faculty printers for

their offices. Communication studies provided extra travel

funds for junior faculty, while American studies combined the

funds with other resources and took eight faculty and four

graduate students to a conference in May 2008 at King’s

College London as its contribution to establishing the strategic

collaboration between King’s College and UNC.

“If we don’t emphasize the

quality of the people we

are attracting and their

personal growth, then we’re

not going to succeed at

our goal of providing the

best quality education…

That’s why the Institute for

the Arts and Humanities

has been, in a way, the

conscience of the University.

The IAH has focused on

faculty retention and

leadership from the very

beginning. It has challenged

the University to keep the

quality of education as its

first and foremost goal and

to really keep the flame of

the Carolina way alive.”

Lectures

Salons

In addition to lectures scheduled throughout the year,

the IAH hosts two recurring lecture series: The Mary

Stevens Reckford Lecture on European Studies and the

Weil Lecture on American Citizenship.

In 2008, the Reckford lecture featured Joan Scott

from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton,

NJ, who spoke on Islam and women. The 2007 Weil

lecture featured Marcelo Suarez-Orozco, the Courtney

Sale Ross University Professor of Globalization and

Education at New York University, who provided

insight into immigration and education.

Two conferences held during the 2007– 2008 academic year were particularly newsworthy. In September 2007,

18 faculty and graduate students from the departments of English and American studies from King’s College

London (KCL) joined their counterparts from UNC, Duke University and East Carolina University for a three-

day colloquium, “Life-Writing and Narrative Medicine.”

The general topic was the explosion of work that can be labeled as autobiography, memoir or “creative non-

fiction,” with a focus on illness narratives and the use of stories in therapeutic settings.

The conference initiated a series of events throughout the academic year that aimed at furthering the strategic

collaboration between UNC and King’s College, established in 2005 when the Dean of the College signed an

agreement with the Principal of KCL. Student and faculty exchanges, team-taught classes (via teleconferencing)

and joint research projects are all either in the works or in the planning stages as the collaboration between the

two universities moves forward.

In January 2008, the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust sponsored Paul Gilroy from the London School

of Economics as the first Kenan Visiting Scholar at the IAH. Professor Gilroy is a world-renowned expert on

questions of migration, with a special focus on the movement of peoples and cultural values through the Atlantic

region, from Africa to the West Indies to North America and Britain.

What attachments will foster a sense of belonging and ground people’s identities if race and nation no longer

perform that role? Our distinguished visitor, invited speakers and engaged audience hardly agreed, but the large

crowds and passionate conversation indicated how important that question is right now.

Also noteworthy was the IAH partnership with the University Program in Cultural Studies, the Sonja Haynes

Stone Center for Black Culture and History, the Institute of African-American Research and Duke’s Franklin

Humanities Institute in organizing the conference. Sixty faculty and graduate students participated in groups that

read Gilroy’s work during the fall semester in preparation for his visit, while UNC’s Jay Garcia and Duke’s Sandy

Darity team-taught a course on Gilroy’s work open to students from both universities.

Through the IAH salons program, these are some of the questions IAH Fellows and local community members

discussed over dinners hosted this past year at the homes of some of our local friends.

The salons embody one of our core missions: to promote conversation between diverse constituencies. Salons are

designed to connect our Fellows with others both within and outside the University in thoughtful exchanges about

issues of moment.

Salons embrace one of IAH founder Ruel Tyson’s time-honored practices of combining serious conversation with

food and libation. The current salons represent an adaptation to the Community Dinners that the IAH began

sponsoring in 2004.

The first salons took place in October 2007 at the Chapel Hill home of John and Cyndy O’Hara. In November, Bill

and Julia Grumbles hosted dinner at their home, followed by a gathering at Betty Kenan’s home in February 2008.

In April, we gathered at the home of Barbra and Andy Rothschild after several of us toured artists’ lofts in the new

Golden Bridge development in Durham.

In addition to planning local salons for the 2008-2009 academic year, our hope is to take IAH salons on the road,

bringing together Fellows and friends nationwide to partake in the IAH tradition of “libations and conversation.”

on upcoming events of interest.

In a spirited three-day conference, the IAH brought in scholars from the US and the Caribbean to discuss and debate with gilroy his view that attachment to racial identities is neither useful nor very coherent at a time when the clear boundaries between races and cultures are blurred by the mixtures that migration produces.

Paul Gilroy delivered the keynote

address of the conference on his work

to an audience of 250.

The Institute showcases faculty work and connects arts and humanities faculty to their colleagues

throughout the University and the wider community through a range of programs, including

lectures and salons.

Looking Ahead: Memory StudiesMemory studies is an emerging field of academic research that includes history, psychology, education,

literary studies and the visual arts, among other disciplines. It focuses on the ways that cultures

create and transmit basic stories about origins, identities and the past. Among its objects of

study are history books, memorials, museums, archives, oral traditions and material artifacts.

Calling upon both local practitioners in the field and scholars from around the nation, the

IAH and the working group on culture and memory will host a series of lectures in fall 2008.

We will offer support to two conferences planned for the spring of 2009 — one on “The Long

Civil Rights Movement: Histories, politics, Memories” to be held at UNC and the other on

“Monuments and Memory: Race and History” to be held at Duke. In addition, there will be a

one-day workshop during the spring to reflect upon the current state of this emerging field. For

details and dates, visit our Web site at www.iah.unc.edu.

Looking Ahead: Digital Arts and HumanitiesThe digital revolution is transforming the teaching and research practices of arts and humanities

faculty. More and more student work for classes is produced in digital forms; scholarly work is

increasingly disseminated through the Web or other digital networks; researchers depend on

new visualization tools to present and manipulate information; graduate students in all fields

see digital competence as crucial to their professional training; and the foundations that support

work in the arts and humanities are beginning to valorize and support digital work.

Currently, about 15% of our arts and humanities faculty are doing work that falls under the

rubric of digital arts and humanities. Not surprisingly, our younger faculty are among the most

active. It will be increasingly important for the recruitment of the next generation of faculty

that UNC become one of the premier places nationally and internationally to do technically

sophisticated work.

The IAH is laying the groundwork for Carolina’s future by bringing together faculty and technologists on campus to work on common digital projects, to teach courses the provide hands-on experience in new technologies and to reflect on what the digital revolution means for the traditional content of the arts

and humanities.

Currently, we are focusing our efforts on staging a digital arts and humanities festival, “CHAT:

Collaborations: Humanities, Arts and Technology,” which will be held on the Chapel Hill campus

in February 2010. Working with the fine arts departments (music, dramatic arts, communications

studies and art), the Ackland Art Museum, the Wilson Library, Carolina performing Arts, the

Renaissance Computing Institute and The Morehead planetarium and Science Center, as well

as the computer services on campus, the IAH will bring performers, artists and scholars from

around the world to Carolina for a 10-day display and discussion of contemporary digital work.

We will also commission projects locally from faculty and students in the Triangle area.

preliminary planning meetings, as well as lectures and workshops on topics such as serious

gaming and intellectual property rights, will be held during the 2008–2009 academic year.

All of these sessions are open to anyone interested. Visit www.iah.unc.edu for a schedule of

events and a link to the festival Web site.

The George H. Johnson Prizefor distinguished achievement by an iah fellow

A natural raconteur. Infectious. Selfless. Larger than life. These are the words

used to describe George H. Johnson, longtime friend and loyal supporter of

the Institute.

It is in Mr. Johnson’s honor that the Institute created The George H.

Johnson Prize for Distinguished Achievement by an IAH Fellow, an accolade

IAH director John McGowan describes as a lifetime achievement award. The

award pays homage to Mr. Johnson, one of the Institute’s great ambassadors,

while recognizing exemplary contributions by faculty in the arts, humanities

or qualitative social sciences.

“It was in the spirit of George, who has given so selflessly, that we wanted

also to honor faculty who have given over their lifetime to Carolina and

made this a better place,” McGowan said.

The biennial award, dedicated to Mr. Johnson in September 2007,

provides the recipient $7,500 and a banquet in honor of the winner.

The first faculty to receive the award is Trudier Harris, the J. Carlyle Sitterson Professor of English, IAH

Faculty Fellow and Academic Leadership Fellow.

For the Institute, the award signifies a meaningful moment in our history. Mary Flanagan, IAH director

of development, explained that the award marks the first time that the Institute is able to recognize both an

extraordinary friend and an outstanding faculty member.

Flanagan explained that part of what makes Mr. Johnson so special is his ability to spread his enthusiasm.

“George just has a wonderful quality about him of inciting enthusiasm in others,” Flanagan said.

With his reputation for livening IAH board meetings, it is not surprising that Mr. Johnson coined the Institute

cheer, “Rooty Toot Toot for the Institute!”

George Johnson has contributed mightily to the success of the Institute and to the crafting of its distinctive

style and spirit. It is fitting, therefore, that his name is attached to a prize that honors faculty contributions to the

Carolina community.

Trudier Harris is the perfect first recipient of The George H. Johnson Prize.

Like Mr. Johnson, Dr. Harris is described by those who know her as larger

than life, enthusiastic and generous.

Mr. Johnson is known as a raconteur, a natural storyteller with an

arsenal of tales. In 2003, Dr. Harris shared some of her stories in a memoir,

Summer Snow: Reflections from a Black Daughter of the South.

Both Mr. Johnson and Dr. Harris are dedicated public servants. Each

has a lengthy history of service to their community. Dr. Harris mentored

two female school students through the Carrboro Blue Ribbon Mentor-

Advocate program and has been an active fund-raiser for the Triangle AIDS

Interfaith Network, among other local organizations.

Dr. Harris grew up in a sharply segregated Alabama community before

earning graduate degrees from The Ohio State University. McGowan says,

“Trudier has been a pioneer throughout her life—as a student, a teacher

and a scholar.”

Dr. Harris has published groundbreaking research in African-American literature and folklore, including a

study of lynching and a book on the portrayal of African-American women in literature.

Since joining the UNC English department in 1979, Dr. Harris has accumulated a wealth of honors and

awards. In 2005, she received the UNC System Board of Governors’ Award for Excellence in Teaching, which is

presented to one faculty member at each of the UNC system schools.

Dr. Harris seeks to inspire all of her students.“I have an obligation to not bore students who are there because they have to be,” she said.

A member of the first class of IAH Faculty Fellows to meet in Hyde Hall, Dr. Harris also participated in our

Academic Leadership Program in Spring 2002.

To learn more about Dr. Harris, be sure to read the fall 2008 IAH e-newsletter, published in September.
