Yasemin Akbaba
Political Science Professor wins the Luther W. and Bernice L. Thompson Distinguished Teaching Award
The Luther W. and Bernice L. Thompson Distinguished Teaching Award is presented annually to a recently tenured faculty member. The recipient of this award traditionally delivers the Fall Honors Day address. This year’s award winner is Professor Yasemin Akbaba.
Elizabeth Richardson Viti completed her Ph.D. in French at New York University and joined the Gettysburg Faculty in 1984 after spending a year as a Mellon Fellow at Washington University in St. Louis. As a member of the French Department, she has taught a wide range of courses, from basic language to advanced literature courses as well as French civilization. She also taught in the Colloquy Program and the current First-Year Seminar Program. Professor Richardson Viti’s research interests focus on the contemporary novel, in particular, from a feminist theoretical perspective. This interest has led her to teach a number of classes in what is now the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program, where she also served as Coordinator from 2005 to 2009 when the program was still Women’s Studies.
