Prof. Elizabeth Robertson selected for summer seminar in Greece

Elizabeth Robertson, associate professor of English, has been selected as a participant in the Council of Independent College’s (CIC) summer seminar on Pausanias and travel writing in Ancient Greece, to be held in Greece in July 2018. Professor Robertson teaches writing studies, early English texts, postcolonial literature and theory, and travel writing in the Drake English department. She recently returned from a Fulbright Teaching Fellowship at the University of Ouagadougou in Burkina-Faso—her second career Fulbright. CIC summer seminars are selective, rigorous opportunities for faculty at independent colleges to develop valuable ongoing expertise in a focused area of study or practice. Professor Robertson is the second Drake English faculty member in two years to have been invited to participate in a CIC summer seminar, following Lisa West’s selection for the Transatlantic Landscape seminar in New Haven, Conn. in 2017.
