MUW’s Brian Anderson Receives Award

COLUMBUS, Miss. – Dr. Brian Anderson, associate professor of political science at MUW, has received the Humanities Teacher of the Year Award by the Mississippi Humanities Council.

Anderson will be recognized for this award in spring 2006 at the Mississippi Humanities Council’s annual banquet in Jackson. The award carries a $500 prize and an obligation to give a public talk in his field of interest.

He has decided that in this talk he will demonstrate how four political parties can help clarify the roles of the two major political parties in America. Anderson will discuss how this can be attained and how it will benefit American politics.

Dr. Anderson will also be giving a public lecture on Nov. 7 at 6:00 pm in Painter Hall 113 on the MUW campus. The lecture is titled, “Liberating Party Factions in American Politics.” It is free to the general public and a reception will follow.
