This award encourages faculty to engage in crossdiciplinary conversation throughout the span of their careers. Through this award, faculty at the rank of full professor can bring to their research the expertise of a faculty member from another discipline. Each chooses a collaborating faculty member--of any rank and may belong to any department, discipline, or field other than the applicant's own--with whom she or he would value regular conversation and guidance.

Ruby Blondell (Classics)

"Dangerous Beauty: Containing Helen of Troy"
Blondell's project examines Helen of Troy as a figure of power and danger, more specifically, as an embodiment of the threat posed by female sexuality. She will use this award to draw upon Sandra Joshel's (History) expertise in feminist and screen theory in order to assist with her project for the Society of Scholars.
