Art Education Associate Professor Dr. Laura Hetrick named HRI Summer Fellow
September 10, 2024
Dr. Laura Hetrick was named a Humanities Research Initiative Summer Fellow for her research, “Auto-ethnography of an Autistic Professor: Navigating a Neurodiverse Academic Life.”
This award supported research preparation for my solo authored book about being an autistic professor that I will begin drafting in fall 2024 during use of an approved Humanities Release Time award. Specifically, I will travel to a United States Society for Education through Art (USSEA) regional conference in Santa Fe, NM where I have two accepted proposals to speak on my autistic lived experiences. These two presentations’ scripted notes and any audience feedback will be later turned into respective chapters of the book.
