[Folkserv] Martha Sims, emerita!

[Noyes, Dorothy]

Congratulations to Martha Sims, who has been approved by Ohio State’s Board of Trustees for an appointment as Senior Lecturer Emeritus – the first time, to our knowledge, that a non-tenured English Department faculty member has been granted this honorific status and the resources that go with it. Martha’s commitment as a teacher as well as her achievements in folklore scholarship and education richly merit this recognition. Thanks to English Department Chair Susan Williams for realizing that Martha’s example could set a precedent for broader recognition of contingent faculty in the department and beyond, and for acting on the realization.
