Eliza Glaze, professor of history, is the 2019 HTC Distinguished Teacher Scholar Lecturer

History Professor Eliza Glaze has been awarded as the 2019 HTC Distinguished Teacher Scholar Lecturer in recognition of her outstanding teaching, intensive scholarly research and concern for student learning.

Glaze has been with CCU since 2003 and has served as co-director of the University Honors Program, the chair of the Department of History, and the Lawrence B. and Jane P. Clark Endowed Chair in History, a three-year appointment. She has earned major research awards from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Humanities Center, among others.

She has presented by invitation at nine conferences in the past three years in addition to traveling to Paris, Oxford and Leiden to advance her research of the history of Western medicine. She teaches courses at CCU on manuscripts and archives, the Byzantine Empire, the Crusades, and the history of Western medicine. In some of these courses, Glaze has incorporated the “Reacting to the Past” pedagogy that assigns students historical roles to provide a deeper understanding of historical events and that has a significant impact on student learning, as it goes beyond the traditional lecture format of classroom instruction.
