ESU Faculty In the News

East Stroudsburg University is proud to recognize faculty members who have been recently recognized for published works.

Artress White, Ph.D., associate professor of English, received a 2022 Next Generation Finalist Indie Book Award for her essay collection Survivor’s Guilt: Essays on Race and American Identity. In this collection, published by New Rivers Press, the Dr. White uses her personal life, family history, and teaching experience as a springboard for a wide-ranging discussion of race in America today. Kirkus Reviews calls White’s book “A well-written, powerful examination of America’s racial legacies.”

White has accepted an invitation to present her book at the 2022 Louisville Book Festival, October 28-29 in Louisville, KY during a special presentation session titled “Diverse Literature Saves Lives: A Discussion with the Author of Survivor’s Guilt: Essays on Race and American Identity.” Additionally, a chapter from her book Survivor’s Guilt, entitled “’Facing It’: Of Soldiers, Patriotism, and Literary Resistance,” was accepted for publication in the commemorative anthology Dear Yusef: Essays, Letters, and Poems For and About One Mr. Komunyakaa edited by John Murillo and Nicole Sealey forthcoming in 2024 from Wesleyan University Press.

Adam McGlynn, Ph.D., professor of political science was recently awarded The American Political Science Association’s Latino Caucus-2022 Latino Politics Best Book Award for his book, Proving Patriotismo: Latino Military Recruitment, Service and Belonging in the U.S. The book was co-authored with Dr. Jessica Lavariega Monforti. Books published between July 2021 and July 2022 were eligible and were submitted to a committee of three scholars who reviewed the books and selected the winners.

Dr. McGlynn has also recently co-authored, along with ESU graduate Caitlyn Stout ’20 M’21, a chapter in the book The Color of COVID-19: The Racial Inequality of Marginalized Communities, edited by Sharon A. Navarro and Samantha L. Hernandez. Their chapter, “Necessity as the Mother of Invention: Attempting to Overcome the Digital Divide during the COVID-19 Pandemic,” explores how four school districts worked to educate their students remotely when faced with varying levels of access to laptops, tablets and high-speed Internet access. Their findings showed these districts were reliant on state support and corporate partnerships in navigating the crisis. Stout and McGlynn started this project when she was still a student in the Masters in Management & Leadership-Public Administration program at ESU and served as the program’s graduate assistant. According to McGlynn, the project enabled her to put the research skills she learned from the program into practice.
