LSUS professor receives research award 11/02/01
Dr. Helen C. Taylor, a professor of English at LSU in Shreveport, and director of its Master of Liberal Arts program, has been selected as the recipient of the 2001 Faculty Research Award sponsored by the International Lincoln Center for American Studies. The subject of her proposal is “Integrating the LSUS MLA Program with the International Lincoln Center’s annual Washington, D.C., Mini-Semester.”

Designed as the premier academic honor awarded at LSUS, the International Lincoln Center’s annual award carries with it a $7,000 stipend to recognize the achievements of its faculty and to encourage contributions to the development of its year-round award-winning components: the Abraham Lincoln distinguished lecture series, the Washington, D.C. mini-semester in May (the first of its kind in the South and the least expensive in the nation), and the triennial presidential conference series.

A native of England, Taylor received her Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut in 1991. She has taught at LSUS since 1990 and served with the MLA program since 1993.
