  • Faculty member Alexis Lathem was chosen as a fellow with the Black Earth Institute, a community of writers and scholars dedicated to serving environmental and social justice through their art. The three-year fellowship will provide a stipend to support Lathem’s work, as well as an opportunity to meet with other fellows for an annual retreat in Black Earth, Wisconsin. Fellows also take turns editing the institute’s journal, About Place. Lathem has essays forthcoming in About Place and Terrain.
