We unanimously applauded the move to award our late colleague, Tony Galt,
emeritus status at the winter commencement. We also discussed the memorial
service to be held at the
2.
We celebrated several achievements: Larry Smith received his 35th
year of teaching at UWGB award, Craig Lockard his 30th, and Mark
Everingham his 10th. We also congratulated Karen Dalke (who took
over Tony’s classes in mid-semester) for winning a creative approach to
teaching award. SCD student Brian Dimmer was accepted to
3.
Our major business was a sad one: writing a position description for a
replacement faculty to fill the slot of our much respected late colleague, Tony
Galt. Profs. Austin, Walter, and Dalke will teach his
spring courses. We discussed various needs and possibilities, among others:
someone specialized in the “global south” or migration issues; the needs of the
Anthropology program; the need to offer SCD 333, SCD 360, Varieties of World
Culture, and medical anthropology (since Northeast Wisconsin is a major
regional health center); the value of a faculty member who could develop ties
with local minority communities; the value of someone with a political economy
orientation.
After
much debate we unanimously agreed on a position description that seeks an
anthropologist who can teach Varieties of World Culture, Medical Anthropology,
Myth Ritual and Religion, and interdisciplinary SCD courses, with preference
for a specialist in the global south.
The meeting
adjourned at 3.
