GROVE CITY, Pa. – Grove City College has awarded semester-long sabbaticals to three professors for the 2010-2011 academic year. The professors are: Dr. T. David Gordon, professor of religion; Dr. Jim Dupree, professor of business and entrepreneurship; and Dr. Richard Trammell, professor of philosophy.
Gordon will continue his research in Pauline studies, in particular Galatians 3 and 4, in the fall of 2010. He also intends to complete a book during his sabbatical centered on the Apostle Paul rooted in the “New Perspectives on Paul” approach.
In the spring of 2011, Dupree will research the integration of the Christian faith into business and entrepreneurial practices. The focus of his study will examine and propose a solution for the perceived disconnect between clergy and Christian entrepreneurs regarding working issues and their faith. Dupree hopes to develop his research into several journal articles, conference presentations and potentially a chapter in a book involving the topic.
Trammell will write a symbolic logic text, having taught more than 100 sections in the discipline during his teaching career. Currently, the standard text in the field, written by Irving Copi, has not been revised since 1978. Trammell’s sabbatical will begin in the spring of 2011.
Since its inception in 2004, the sabbatical program has helped more than 15 faculty members pursue their research interests. In that time, the program has led to eight books or manuscripts, more than 10 published articles, 20 presentations at professional conferences and two Center for Vision & Values white papers.
