Jay B. Hubbell, a long-time professor at Duke University, was one of the pioneers of American literary scholarship. Hubbell championed treating American authors as objects of serious attention at a time when academic students of literature focused almost entirely on English authors. The award named for him has been awarded to some of the most distinguished practitioners of the discipline he helped create. The citations by which the awards were made and the acceptance speeches with which they were received, the more recent of which are available below, form an illuminating and often touching record of one part of the scholarly life.

It aired on CNN, FoxNews, AMC, and CNBC and also on local broadcast stations in states with key gubernatorial and senate races, including Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. A few major networks, including ABC, A&E, and the History Channel, declined to air the advertisement, claiming it to be too controversial.

Both losses dealt a forceful blow to audiences who have absorbed and wrestled with the word art of these two phenomenal writers whose love of blackness cut across any of their obvious differences. While Baraka was a canonized literary giant, a certain critical amnesia has enshrouded Aubert, who is, without a doubt, one of our great cultural workers. But in the wake of the unfortunate proximity of these two artists’ deaths, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to wrest Aubert from the grip of obscurity, and to better incorporate the richness of his life, his thought, and his creative production into the annals of our literary histories.

By showing that stasis theory can be used as an organizing conceptual tool, we demonstrate how cooperative and organized question-asking practices calm complex interdisciplinary scientific disputations in order to propel productive science policy work. We believe that the conceptual structure of stasis theory motivates scientists to shift their viewpoints from solitary expert specialists toward that of allied policy guides for their advisory document's reader. We further argue that, through the use of stasis theory, technical writers can aid interdisciplinary scientists in policy writing processes, thus fostering transdisciplinary collaboration.

Covering a wide range of genres and offering provocative readings of both familiar and lesser known texts, Living Legacies demonstrates how literature can be used not only to challenge the master narrative of the civil rights movement but also to inform and inspire the next generation of freedom fighters.
