Last spring Lawrence announced the 10 new tenure-track faculty members. It is exciting to finally learn about those professors who are on their way to becoming permanent members of our community.
These professors have studied at institutions all over the country, including the University of Chicago, Harvard University, and the University of Pennsylvania. Together at Lawrence, they represent many different departments and special interests.
Garth Bond, Assistant Professor of English, previously taught at the University of Chicago, where he received his Ph.D., and Temple University in Philadelphia. At Lawrence, his interests within English lay primarily in Renaissance literature, Shakespeare, and film.
Before joining the Lawrence faculty, Dominica Chang attended UW-Madison and Middlebury College. She earned her Ph.D. in Romance languages and literatures from the University of Michigan, where she was also a lecturer before coming to Lawrence. As an Assistant Professor of French, she likes to teach revolutionary studies and 19th century French studies.
Scott Corry received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in mathematics after earning his B.A. from Reed College. He stayed to work at the University of Pennsylvania for several years before coming to Lawrence. While he teaches as an assistant professor of mathematics, he is also involved with number theory and algebraic geometry.
With an interest in chemistry, Stefan Debbert graduated from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and Cornell University, where he received his Ph.D. He now specializes in teaching organic chemistry.
Before coming to Lawrence as assistant professor of chemistry, Kimberly Dickson attended Smith College, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she received her Ph.D. in biochemistry. She will teach courses in both biology and chemistry at Lawrence, drawing upon her teaching experiences from Macalester College.
