Sharon HollandTownsend Ludington Term Distinguished Endowed Professor, American Studies Qualifications and ExperienceSharon P. Holland is the Townsend Ludington Term Distinguished Endowed Professor in American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is also the Director of the Program in Sexuality Studies. She is a graduate of Princeton University (1986) and holds a PhD in English and African American Studies from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1992). She is the author of Raising the Dead: Readings of Death and (Black) Subjectivity (Duke UP, 2000), which won the Lora Romero First Book Prize from the American Studies Association (ASA) in 2002. She is also co-author of a collection of trans-Atlantic Afro-Native criticism with Professor Tiya Miles (American Culture, UM, Ann Arbor) entitled Crossing Waters/ Crossing Worlds: The African Diaspora in Indian Country (Duke University Press, 2006). Professor Holland is also responsible for bringing a feminist classic, The Queen is in the Garbage by Lila Karp to the attention of The Feminist Press for publication (2007). She is the author of The Erotic Life of Racism (Duke University Press, 2012), a theoretical project that explores the intersection of Critical Race, Feminist, and Queer Theory. She is also at work on the final draft of another book project entitled simply, “little black girl.” You can see her work on food, writing and all things equestrian on her blog, http://theprofessorstable.wordpress.com//. She is currently at work on a new project, “Vocabularies of Vulnerability: hum.animal.blackness,” an investigation of the human/animal distinction and the place of discourse on blackness within that discussion. She is the editor of “south: a scholarly journal” (formerly Southern Literary Journal), https://southjournal.org. I am interested in joining Faculty Council to provide another voice for intersectional issues on campus that are important to faculty, staff and students. I believe in open and direct dialogue. |

Molly WorthenAssociate Professor, History Qualifications and ExperienceI came to UNC in 2012. I teach North American intellectual and religious history, with a particular interest in Christianity and American politics. In my time as a faculty member I have served on numerous department committees, as well as the 2018 college curriculum reform feasibility committee focused on General Education. I am also a freelance journalist, and write about religion, politics, and higher education for the New York Times. You can find my views on the dangers of fixating on standardized learning outcomes assessment here, and my defense of traditional pedagogy and its integration with active learning here. I believe that a university like UNC must always interrogate old assumptions and welcome thoughtful reform. But we should also preserve what we do best, foster intellectual diversity, and resist the tyranny of market logic when it undermines our duties to our students, our state, and to civilization. In Faculty Council, I also hope to work on bridging the cultural gaps and misunderstandings that separate different parts of our university and sometimes divide us against ourselves. |
