UB to salute faculty, staff authors

UB will recognize more than 105 authors, contributing authors and editors at a reception being held from 3-5 p.m. May 5 in the Black Box Theatre in the Center for the Arts, North Campus.

“An Anthology of Recognition: The Sixth Salute to UB Authors” pays tribute to UB authors “for their significant contributions to the printed page.”

Those attending the reception are asked to register.

The reception honors UB authors who have published full-length scholarly books over the course of the past two years — from January 2012 through December 2013 — as well as those authors whose books may have been inadvertently missed since the first “anthology” was held in 2007.

More than 600 books have been authored or edited by UB faculty members since that first anthology.

Production of scholarly and creative works is an integral part of UB’s mission, says Alex Cartwright, vice president for research and economic development.

“As faculty authors at our highly regarded public research university, you truly have contributed to this important mission,” Cartwright wrote in the program for the event.

“You have used your scholarly and creative exploration to educate, and in choosing your topics, frequently have gone beyond the academic to serve the public by confronting the issues of our communities — locally, regionally and worldwide. You have memorialized your ideas in books and this, in turn, shapes the university and builds its legacy,” he said.

“You are architects of Western New York’s creative communities, helping to build a region that values innovation and discussion, supporting diversity of thought and strengthening opportunities in the knowledge economy.”

The 100 books being recognized represent a variety of disciplines, ranging from the humanities to the arts to the social, physical, biological and biomedical sciences, and include textbooks, volumes of poetry and e-books.
