What passes for research these days?
While exploring the titles of grant titles for the "New Faculty Research Grant" at EMU, I was amazed by the titles of some research projects that received grants. (Note: I received the same grant in 2009 and have a great deal of respect for the research committee and provost decisions. Yet, these projects left me shaking my head.)
Here are some titles I found particularly difficult to understand:
"Early Modern Pornographies"
"Community & Culture: Creating a Plan for Washtenaw County"
"Improving Student Achievement Through an Afterschool Knitting Program"
"Contingency Management for Smoking Cessation Among Sorority Members"
"Gathering the Gossips"
