The Cornell Institute for European Studies (IES) has awarded new travel grants to five members of the Cornell language faculty. The grants, funded through the institute's National Resource Center, are intended for professional development. The awards will cover the cost of travel to professional meetings or language pedagogy workshops during the academic year 2004-05.
Those receiving grants were:
Maria Hnaraki, a modern Greek lecturer in the Near Eastern Studies department, will travel to Greece in the summer of 2005 to conduct research and develop course and teaching materials for Cornell's modern Greek language courses.
Three Department of German Studies language lecturers also received grants. They are: German language lecturers Gunhild Lischke and Ute Maschke, both of whom will attend an International Conference for German Teachers in Graz, Austria in the summer of 2005; and Lena Trancik, a Swedish language lecturer, who will attend a conference on "Modern Sweden" at the Swedish Institute in Stockholm in January 2005.
Colette Waldron, a French lecturer in the Romance Studies Department, will travel to France during summer 2005. Waldron's research will focus on developing materials for a new Cornell course called French Through Current Events. Her research abroad will include interviews with historians, journalists and French citizens.
