Lisa Hager leverages her feminist teaching approach to connect with students holistically to address learning needs and challenges. She incorporates often overlooked, but representative texts across her courses to include minority authors and perspectives, allowing students to see themselves in the work and appreciate the complexities of different positionalities (differences in social position and power) across race, class, sex, sexuality and other intersections. She also uses online tools, such as Hypothesis (an online group annotating software) to encourage students to learn while creating a supportive classroom community.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was particularly helpful for students and other instructors in the transition to online teaching during the pandemic by cultivating resources for students in academic and mental health and offering resources she has developed for other instructors to use,\u201d\u00a0 colleague Jill Rinzel, associate professor of psychology\/education wrote in her nomination letter.<\/p>\n

Aki Roberts, associate professor of sociology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aki Roberts focuses on helping her students succeed. She implements interactive lectures, uses a range of software applications, and even shares meals with students during review sessions to help students develop an appreciation for and competence in statistics. In addition, she developed a textbook to make statistics easier to learn through clear language and examples for her students. Finally, she was instrumental in creating the Quantitative Social Data Analysis (QSDA) certificate program so that students could not only develop skills but demonstrate that accomplishment upon graduation.<\/p>\n

\u201cProfessor Roberts\u2019 teaching methods made material that was entirely new not only manageable, but exciting,\u201d wrote one of her students,\u00a0Hannah Smith, who was also\u00a0Roberts\u2019 teaching assistant. \u201cThrough her encouragement and guidance, I chose sociology to be both my undergraduate major and my career pursuit through the master\u2019s program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Office of Research and 51ÁÔÆæ Foundation Research in the Humanities Awards<\/h2>\n

Elana Levine,\u00a0professor of English<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the debut of\u00a0\u201cThese Are My Children\u201d\u00a0in 1949, the daytime television soap opera has been foundational to the history of television as an economic, creative, technological, social, and cultural institution. In her 2020 book,\u00a0\u201cHer Stories: Daytime Soap Opera and US Television History,\u201d Elana Levine draws on archival research and critical analysis to provide an in-depth history of the daytime television soap opera as a uniquely gendered cultural form and a central force in the economic and social influence of network television.<\/p>\n

A Glasgow University fellow calls it \u201ccrucial reading for media studies scholars and anyone interested in the social and cultural history of the United States in the twentieth century.\u201d A UW-Madison professor considers it \u201cone of the best books to be published in the field of television studies in the past decade \u2014 the sort of book most scholars aspire to complete during the course of a career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Netzloff, professor, literature and cultural theory coordinator\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark Netzloff’s book, \u201cAgents Beyond the State: The Writings of English Travelers, Soldiers, and Diplomats in Early Modern Europe,\u201d provides the first book-length study of the connections between literary writing and the emergence of the English state in the early modern period.<\/p>\n

In the book, published in 2020 by Oxford University Press, Netzloff argues that the early modern state was defined not through the elaboration of theoretical models of sovereignty, but rather as an effect of the literary and social practices of its extraterritorial representatives. Focusing on four groups of agents \u2014 travelers and intelligence agents, Catholic exiles, mercenaries, and diplomats \u2014 \u201cAgents Beyond the State\u201d\u00a0examines their material practices of writing, networks of association, modes of affect and sociability, and formulations of agency and critique.<\/p>\n

A professor at the University of Minnesota writes that the book \u201cwill seal his reputation as one of the top scholars working in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Office of Research and 51ÁÔÆæ Foundation Research Awards<\/h2>\n

Ira Driscoll,\u202fassociate professor of psychology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ira Driscoll studies how changes in the brain can predict cognitive deficits and dementia, and the role for hormones and genetic background as modulators of age-related cognitive decline. Focusing on the function of the hippocampus and the nature of amnesia in aging and Alzheimer\u2019s disease, she employs a multi-level investigative approach combining neurogenetics, neuroimaging and cognitive tasks that allow for cross-species comparisons.<\/p>\n

She has also done research suggesting that while obesity in middle age is associated with heightened risk for cognitive impairment in post-menopausal women, weight gain in elderly women may help preserve cognitive function.<\/p>\n

A reviewer at Wake Forest University notes that \u201cDr. Driscoll has built a clear and impressive trajectory in her research aimed at understanding how Alzheimer’s disease develops.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recognition of her accomplishments includes the 2014 Alzheimer\u2019s Association of Southeastern Wisconsin Investigator Award and the 2006 National Institute on Aging Fellows Award for Research.<\/p>\n

Anne Basting is a scholar and artist whose work focuses on the potential for the arts and humanities to transform our lives as individuals and communities. For over 20 years, Basting has researched ways to infuse the arts into care settings, with a particular focus on people with cognitive disabilities like dementia.<\/p>\n

In 1998 she founded the award-winning nonprofit\u00a0TimeSlips\u00a0Creative Storytelling, an international alliance of artists and caregivers bringing meaning to late life through creativity.\u00a0TimeSlips\u00a0has over 900 certified facilitators in 48 states and 20 countries. The aim of creative storytelling, Basting says, is to replace pressure to remember with freedom to remember, imagine, and inspire improvisational expression. In all her work, she is striving toward a moment when\u00a0meaning-making\u00a0is fully infused into care systems.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Basting became the first MacArthur Fellow at 51ÁÔÆæ.\u00a0She has published many books, articles, and chapters, and the longtime theater professor has also written or produced nearly a dozen plays and public performances, one of which was professionally staged at a long-term care community.<\/p>\n

Bonnie Klein-Tasman,\u00a0professor\u00a0of psychology\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bonnie Klein-Tasman has earned a national and international reputation for her developmental work on children with rare genetically based neurodevelopmental conditions, particularly Williams syndrome and neurofibromatosis type 1. She takes a sophisticated approach to incorporating projects that capture the interplay of social, neuropsychological, and developmental factors in predicting child outcomes.<\/p>\n

To collect the large amounts of necessary data from youth who are relatively hard to find in the first place, Klein-Tasman’s team has become very creative about locating and connecting with these families. This data can help identify emerging patterns of specific difficulties at specific developmental periods \u2014 valuable information that is unavailable for most genetic conditions.<\/p>\n

Klein-Tasman has a strong commitment to training future scientists; she has chaired 13 Ph.D. committees, 13 master’s committees and eight senior thesis committees.\u00a0Grants supporting her research have come from the National Institutes of Health, Williams Syndrome Association, 51ÁÔÆæ Research Growth Initiative and many others.<\/p>\n

Chia\u00a0Youyee\u00a0Vang\u00a0is recognized for groundbreaking research into the Hmong diaspora, other Southeast Asian diasporas and refugees, and community-building efforts among Hmong people in the United States. One of her peers calls her \u201cunprecedented\u201d \u2014 the only full professor of Hmong studies, the first Hmong American woman to perform research in these areas, and the first woman to build a Hmong certificate program, which she founded in 2009 amid growing demand for coursework reflecting Asian American life experiences.<\/p>\n

Her two most recent books tell stories of Hmong fighter pilots \u2014 who flew for the U.S. military in the secret war in Laos during the Vietnam War, including a pilot who was shot down in 1972 and presumed dead, but was held in a communist POW camp for years after the United States withdrew from Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Her 2019 book,\u00a0\u201cFly Until You Die: An Oral History of Hmong Pilots in the Vietnam War,\u201d \u201cenlarges and transforms the history of the American war in Vietnam,\u201d a reviewer writes.<\/p>\n

Academic Staff Outstanding Teaching Awards<\/h2>\n

Kimberly Hernandez,<\/strong>\u00a0lecturer, comparative ethnic studies\u202f<\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u202falso\u202fmentors\u202fundergraduate students, helping them connect their own experiences with broader histories of immigration, urban life and social justice. She herself returned to school as\u00a0a\u00a0nontraditional\u202fundergraduate and has become a nationally\u202frecognized\u202fhistorian of immigration and urban history.<\/p>\n

Her\u202fintegration of research\u202finto\u202fall of\u202fher courses\u202fhas allowed her to launch many students into ongoing research projects\u202fthat they\u202fhave continued beyond her class.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite teaching in a new-to-her field, Dr. Hernandez has become a capable and popular instructor in Comparative Ethnic Studies,\u201d wrote history Professor Rachel Ida Buff, coordinator of that program.\u202f\u202f\u201cHer\u202fstudent evaluations attest to her passion, preparation, and\u202fcommitment to\u202fstudent success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew\u202fKnachel, senior lecturer\u202f<\/strong><\/p>\n

Knachel\u2019s\u202fteaching and leadership have helped make\u202fPhilosophy 111 and Philosophy 21\u00a0\u2013\u202fthe logic courses in the\u202fPhilosophy\u202fDepartment\u00a0\u2013\u00a0more\u202fenticing to students.\u202fHis open-source logic textbook, \u201cFundamental Methods of Logic,\u201d has been adopted at\u202fa number of\u202funiversities, and has been downloaded more than 20,000 times in 154 countries.<\/p>\n

The comment that recurs most often in student evaluations of his teaching is that\u202fKnachel\u202fworks hard to make the course material \u2013 which some students find difficult and boring \u2013 engaging, enjoyable and even fun.\u00a0He does all this without watering down the content.<\/p>\n

Knachel\u202fmakes the learning itself enjoyable for the students, and he helps motivate the students by helping them to be successful, wrote Blain Neufeld, associate professor in the department. \u201cGiven the difficulty level of the course content, it is very significant and striking that almost all of\u202fKnachel\u2019s\u202fstudents finish and pass the course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ali Gattoni, assistant faculty associate\u202f<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ali\u00a0Gattoni\u00a0teaches courses in organizational communication. She motivates learners through effective and innovative\u202fcontent\u202fdelivery, creating connections with and between students. She teaches organizational communication\u202ftheories\u202fby having students work together on a variety of hands-on group projects\u202ffrom marshmallow-noodle towers to paper boat building. For example, students learn classic management and communication techniques by working together to build as many paper boats as possible in an assembly line. When an authoritarian approach is used to direct students to work harder and faster, students \u201clive\u201d that\u00a0theory and the negative feelings it can generate. This helps them understand and retain the approach better.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I visited her in-person class, it was evident students were excited to be\u202fthere\u202fand\u00a0looking forward to learning,\u201d wrote\u202fSarah\u202fRilgoforte, associate professor of communication,\u202fin nominating her. \u201cI arrived over 10 minutes early and students were already sitting at tables talking in\u202fgroups.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her assistance was also essential in supporting the many campus events that had to move online \u2013 from the Length of Service awards to the Dialogue on Racial Justice Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so proud of the work and impact Therese made this past year in making so many elements of our transition a success,\u201d wrote Bobby Jo Morse, associate director of IT professional services.<\/p>\n

Keith Emmons, manager of the Windows Device Management Group, Campus Technology Support<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shortly before the pandemic struck, Keith Emmons had taken on extra duties when a team member moved out of state. With the pandemic, he and his team faced a new challenge \u2013 designing and building remote labs to connect students to existing hardware in campus computer labs.<\/p>\n

He rapidly found ways to make those labs work remotely, easing the stresses on already stressed students. His team worked with him to research and test options for connecting students and staff to labs in departments all over campus. Earlier versions of remote computing had been expensive, but Emmons led the team that found a way to design a lower-cost alternative using existing resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThousands of students have used the Remote Labs over the last year to connect to the discipline-specific software that they would otherwise be unable to use for their classwork,\u201d wrote James Kavanagh, CTS director in nominating Emmons. \u201cKeith built a new bridge between these students’ homes and the computer labs they needed to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lauren J. Wieczorek, academic department specialist\/department manager, Department of Geosciences\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lauren Wieczorek handles all the administrative work of the Geosciences Department. She also\u00a0helps out\u00a0the director and teaching staff of Conservation and Environmental Sciences, an interdisciplinary program with no office staff.<\/p>\n

Managing and supporting the Geosciences Department is challenging with faculty, staff and students staff traveling to and working at field sites across the U.S. and around the globe.\u00a0Wierczorek\u00a0handles all the paperwork, travel arrangements and logistics for field trips that can range from one day to several months. That may include not just the typical travel reimbursement and lodging, but renting buses, vans, off-road vehicles and even helicopters.<\/p>\n

\u201cLauren\u2019s attention to details has allowed the faculty and staff to conduct teaching and research all over the world, wrote John Isbell, distinguished professor, who nominated her.\u00a0 \u201cShe has freed us up so that we can concentrate on the actual work rather than worrying about the administrative details.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shane\u00a0Haensgen, doctoral retention advisor, Graduate School<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shane Haensgen\u00a0is responsible for keeping track of the progress\u00a0of\u00a0doctoral students across all schools and colleges. In addition to dealing with pandemic-related issues, he had to help resolve additional problems\u00a0over the past year.<\/p>\n

One was a troublesome computer program, Doctoral Milestones, used to track student progress toward degrees. When the system failed to work as planned, he helped identify issues, and temporarily moved the work to manual processes. He continued to work with developers until problems were resolved. At the same time, he and another employee had to clear a huge backlog of graduation applications caused by an unexpected staff shortage.<\/p>\n

\u201cShane is a shining example of a higher education professional that put the student’s needs, values, and goals first,\u201d one student wrote to Interim Dean of the Graduate School Jason Puskar, who nominated Haensgen.\u00a0 \u201cI wanted you to know that his hard work and dedication to my concerns have made a massive difference in my ability to finish my program on time and not take on working 80-90 hour weeks while a full-time student.\u201d<\/p>\n

LGBTQ+ Award<\/h2>\n

Devin Thomas, clinical assistant professor\u202fand field liaison, Helen Bader School of Social Welfare\u202f\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Devin Thomas places bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree social work students in field placements\/internships.\u202fShe has connected students interested in focusing on LGBT issues in placements related to HIV\/AIDS, reproductive health, domestic\u202fviolence, mental health services, youth programming and medical health care.<\/p>\n

In addition, she introduced pronoun awareness to the department and school. She surveyed students every semester to see how they would like to be addressed and if\u202fthere\u202fis\u202fanything she should know to help them feel accepted and included. She incorporates materials into her curriculum that are inclusive of LGBT\u202frepresentation, and\u202fis a resource for students who are in the process of coming out.<\/p>\n

In addition\u202fto raising awareness within the department and the school, she\u202fparticipates on the advisory board of a 51ÁÔÆæ psychology research project that focuses on alcohol-related intimate partner violence among LGBTQ+ young adults (18-25 years old). She has connected community members to this research so they can learn more about alcohol and intimate partner violence.<\/p>\n

Excellence in Teaching with Technology-Joanne Lazirko Award<\/h2>\n

Nikole Bouchard, associate professor of architecture\u202f\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nikole Bouchard was a leader in integrating technology\u202finto architecture courses during the pandemic. Starting in the spring of 2020, she\u202fcrafted new assignments that creatively used Zoom, Instagram,\u202fMiro Boards and smartphones in ways that hadn\u2019t been used in the field before.<\/p>\n

For example, after surveying students,\u202fBouchard\u202frecognized\u202fthat many students didn\u2019t have easy access to computers and\u202fhigh speed\u202finternet, but everyone had a smartphone. So,\u202fshe developed ways of offering course materials\u202fon\u202fsmartphones\u202fusing\u202fannotated PDFs with an abundance of hyperlinked resources.<\/p>\n

Another innovation was the use of\u202f\u201cWeekly Explorations\u201d\u202fto inspire students to work creatively with what’s around them by using recycled materials. Students submitted\u202ftheir work\u202fto\u202ftheir course Instagram account directly from their phone.\u202fWeekly small group sessions in Zoom rooms kept the students and teaching assistants in touch.<\/p>\n

Her work was \u201cabsolutely transformational for SARUP,\u201d wrote\u202fher colleagues in the nomination letter.\u202f\u201cNikole is paving the way for other SARUP faculty to use technology in ways that enhance learning and increase engagement with course materials and classmates to ultimately ensure student success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ernest Spaights Plaza Award
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Larry G. Martin, professor emeritus, Department of Administrative Leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n

Larry Martin, professor emeritus in the School of Education, dedicated his career to adult education. His research and publications focused on the trends and issues that keep adult learners, particularly those who are low income or people of color, from participating in adult education.<\/p>\n

He was also a leader of 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s diversity and inclusion efforts.<\/p>\n

During his 35 years as a scholar practitioner and leader in urban adult and continuing education, he also served as chair of the Department of Administrative Leadership and director of the urban education doctoral program. He retired in 2015.<\/p>\n

Martin wrote numerous journal articles and book chapters, co-edited a four-volume compendium on adult education and published three New Directions series books. He served on the editorial boards of many scholarly journals in the field of adult education, and presented at national and international conferences.<\/p>\n

Martin\u2019s work led to change. In 1987, he published a study of policy changes to Wisconsin\u2019s General Educational Development (GED) score requirements.\u00a0 His research showed that the changes had negatively affected students \u2013 increasing failure rates and lowering persistence levels, leading to a loss of educational and employment opportunities among adults seeking a GED diploma. As a result, the Department of Public Instruction changed the requirements while still maintaining the state\u2019s high standards. More than 800 adults were retroactively awarded their GED diplomas and thousands more have benefited with increased employment and education opportunities.<\/p>\n

In addition to his research and scholarship, he received high ratings for his teaching. Students appreciated his passion and the care he provided. In his years of leadership of the urban educational doctoral program, he established an annual research forum that brought in nationally known scholars.<\/p>\n

Within the profession, he served on state and national organizations for adult education. As a result of his continuing work, he was inducted into the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame in 2015.<\/p>\n

Martin used his knowledge of adult and organizational learning to lead a campus-based Task Force on Race and Ethnicity, which brought together more than 60 faculty, academic and classified staff and students. The two-year project resulted several major changes to the university\u2019s diversity and inclusion efforts.<\/p>\n

In nominating him, his colleagues said that his scholarship, service and leadership have given voice to the voiceless, empowered the disempowered and informed the uninformed. There is no doubt that Dr. Martin\u2019s contributions helped 51ÁÔÆæ become a more inclusive, equitable and better place to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
