Three Northeastern University professors have received Global Network Accelerator Awards, recognizing how they have expanded experiential learning beyond any single place, bringing it to students around the world.
The awards went to Oliver Ayers, professor of history; K.J. Rawson, professor of English and women’s, gender and sexuality studies; and Kirsten Saxton, professor of English.
But this is also a story of how one center’s leadership, operating thousands of miles apart, came together to catalyze “collaborative humanities research and programming across Northeastern’s global network,” according to Saxton.
Each recipient of this year’s award is a director of the Northeastern University Humanities Center, operating out of three different campuses in the Northeastern global network: Boston, London and Oakland. The award recipients’ work spans disciplines, colleges, campuses and countries, all with an eye toward making measurable change.
