CANTON - St. Lawrence University President Daniel F. Sullivan has announced the
appointment of three faculty members to Charles A. Dana Professorships: Steven G.
Horwitz, economics; Alan Searleman,
psychology; and Eve W. Stoddard,
global studies.
Dana Professorships were established to recognize distinguished full professors at
St. Lawrence and are the highest honor awarded to faculty members. All faculty
members participate in selecting Dana Professors, through an election process.
The title is held until retirement.
Horwitz is a graduate of the University of Michigan, with a master's degree and
Ph.D. from George Mason University, and has been on the University's faculty since
1989. A specialist in monetary theory and history, macroeconomics and political
economy, he is the author of the 1992 book Monetary Evolution, Free Banking, and
Economic Order and the 2000 book Microfoundations and Macroeconomics: An Austrian
Perspective. Horwitz delivered the 1999 Frank P. Piskor Faculty Lecture, and
has published extensively on economics and public policy in scholarly journals.
He has also served two terms as associate dean of the first year and for one
year, 2003-2004, was interim director of the Center for Teaching and Learning.
Searleman joined the St. Lawrence faculty in 1978, and is the co-author of two
books, Memory Improvement: Implications for Memory Theory (1992) and Memory From
a Broader Perspective (1994). He has served as chair of the psychology department;
a member of the Faculty Council and the Professional Standards Committee; and as
a faculty representative to the Board of Trustees. Searleman is also widely
known for his work studying left-handedness. He is a graduate of the University
of Massachusetts/Amherst with a Ph.D. in experimental psychology from SUNY at
Stony Brook. Searleman received the J. Calvin Keene Award in 1999 and is an
active member of the St. Lawrence chapter of the academic honorary Phi Beta
Kappa.
Stoddard is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College and earned the Ph.D. at the
University of California, Los Angeles. She joined the English department at
St. Lawrence in 1986, and has expanded her scholarship to areas of cultural
and postcolonial studies; comparative race and ethnicity; tourism, and the
history of slavery in the British Empire. Stoddard also writes, speaks and
does consulting on faculty and curriculum development related to
internationalization and global and intercultural studies in higher education
in the U.S. She has co-edited a volume of essays called Global Multiculturalism:
Comparative Perspectives on Race, Ethnicity, and Nation and co-authored a
monograph for the Association of American Colleges and Universities called
