Jennifer Predock-Linnell will receive the Faculty Acknowledgement Award from University Libraries in a ceremony on Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. in the Willard Reading Room of Zimmerman Library on the UNM main campus. She and her students will perform a dance presentation titled, “Nowhere Slowly.”
Predock-Linnell is a tenured professor of dance at UNM and has received numerous awards for her choreography and research. She is currently researching contemporary choreographers of Mexico from the 1970’s to the 1990’s. As part of the research she has conducted a series of twenty-four oral histories of choreographers and dancers and submitted it to the New York Public Library of the Performing Arts Oral History Archives.
University Libraries works with the various schools and colleges at the University to honor members of the faculty for their scholarly contributions. This is a forum for the colleagues, students and community members to learn about the achievements of faculty members.
The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
