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.

Lorna Rhodes (Anthropology)
Institutional Interiors
An ethnographic study of psychiatric hospitals and prisons, Institutional Interiors addresses the larger question of how institutions come to express and instantiate the “social.” Rhodes will collaborate with Katherine Beckett(Sociology), whose work addresses precisely those aspects of the social world “outside” the total institution that are most relevant for Rhodes’ concerns: criminology, policing, and neoliberal social policy as they are reflected in the representation of crime, the geopolitics of mass incarceration, and the expansion of “broken windows” policies. Rhodes and Beckett will read one another’s work, read together in the contexts of social theory, geography, and critical criminology; and develop a joint writing project.
