Recipients of the Baldridge Book Subvention Award
The Humanities Institute is proud to announce the two recipients of the Baldridge Book Subvention Award:
Regent Professor Anya Jabour
Decades before Alfred Kinsey published his provocative studies of human sexuality, Katharine Bement Davis conducted a revelatory study of women's sexuality. Published in 1929, "Factors in the Sex Life of Twenty-Two Hundred Women" both documented and drove America's first sexual revolution and shaped the study of sex and understandings of female sexuality for generations to come. "Matters of Sex: Katharine Bement Davis and America's First Sexual Revolution" (forthcoming, NYU Press) is the first full-length biography of a remarkable woman whose legacy still resonates today.
Professor Quan Ha
Translated by Quan Manh Ha and Merle Pribbenow (forthcoming with Columbia University Press), this memoir documents Nguyen Tai’s nearly five-year captivity, during which South Vietnamese intelligence, security forces and the American CIA subjected him to the full range of their interrogation methods in an effort to uncover his secrets.
