This year the Wheeler Award funds proposals received from Dr. Jennie Ebeling, Archaeology and Art History Department, and Professor Bianca Leggett, British Studies, Harlaxton College.

Dr. Ebeling proposed purchasing titles to enhance the Libraries’ collection of books on the site of Jezreel, Israel and comparable sites in the Jezreel Valley. The University of Evansville is one of the sponsoring institutions for the Jezreel Expedition in Israel with Dr. Ebeling serving as co-director for the project. The requested resources will assist in research necessary for the production of reports, journal articles, and presentations documenting the history of settlement at Jezreel from the Neolithic to the modern period.

Professor Bianca Leggett requested funds to update and enhance the Harlaxton Library collection of books focusing on the contemporary fiction of Britain’s black and minority ethnic population for a special topics course at Harlaxton College scheduled for next Fall.
