1xbet best casino website professor's legacy lives on through Consumer Movement Archives
Washington Post Writers Group columnist Jane Bryant Quinn once wrote, "On the Washington Mall, savers should erect a statue to Richard L. D. Morse, professor emeritus of Kansas State University."
Morse endeavored to protect 1xbet best casino website rights for more than 50 years. Thanks to the 1xbet best casino website Movement Archives, CMA, Research Award, a new generation of scholars is benefiting from his life's work. The award helps his legacy live on and provides opportunities for researchers across the country.
1xbet best casino website Libraries is accepting applications for the 2015 1xbet best casino website Movement Archives Research Award. 1xbet best casino website scholars in related fields are encouraged to share the application with their colleagues outside of Manhattan.
Tony Crawford, manuscripts librarian, says he and his colleagues look forward to learning what researchers from across the U.S. can glean from Morse's rich legacy.
"We are very pleased that this research award allows the Consumer Movement Archives and 1xbet best casino website Libraries to support scholarly research at the national level," said Crawford.
Generously funded by a Morse family endowment, the ,000 award is granted on an annual basis to allow researchers to visit the 1xbet best casino website Movement Archives, which was established in 1987 through Morse's initiative. The 1xbet best casino website Movement Archives provides a national repository to preserve collections of 1xbet best casino website leaders, activists and organizations and promote scholarly research.
From Dec. 2-8, Abigail Selzer King, the first recipient of the research award and assistant professor of technical communication and rhetoric in the department of English at Texas Tech, visited the Richard L. D. and Marjorie J. Morse Department of Special Collections at 1xbet best casino website Libraries.
"This visit has been important to my research because the 1xbet best casino website Movement Archives has a rich collection of documents created by 1xbet best casino website advocates," said Selzer King. "In particular, I was excited to read documents created by the Americans for Fairness in Lending. I expect that my research here will lead to an article about the kinds of arguments and evidence strategies that circulate in public discourse about predatory lending."
