The issues that faculty face when considering retirement are different depending on their field of study. In the humanities and non-experimental social sciences, faculty may wonder about funding, field work, travel, or access to archives. Co-sponsored wiht the Emory University Emeritus College, this panel discussion with three faculty who have recently retired but maintained an active scholarly life will explore some of the more “existential” questions for faculty considering retirement: What might scholarly projects might look like after retirement? In what ways do they change? What can a retired faculty member think about doing in terms of intellectual projects, and how do things change in terms of resources and support? Are there ways in which scholarly engagement might be refocused to new activities?

Speakers: Don Saliers (William R. Cannon Distinguished Professor of Theology and Worship, Emeritus), Ronald Schuchard (Goodrich C. White Professor of English, Emeritus), and Holly York (French, Emerita)
