Becoming Cherokee: A Play by Ken McCoy<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This presentation is focused on the process and results of my Fall 2019 sabbatical, \u201cLiminality, Diaspora, and Performance of Identity in Native America,\u201d the purpose of which was to conduct academic and field research on these aspects of Native American identity and utilize the results to author a dramatic work. Research was focused on the Cherokee Nation, of which I am an enrolled citizen. The resulting full-length play Becoming Cherokee covers key elements in the performance of identity and culture among the Cherokee, especially those who no longer reside within the \u201chomeland\u201d of northeast Oklahoma. These issues include those common in Native America: history, relocation, food, traditional stories and folklore, ancestry, land, and indigeneity in the modern world.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business-based Information Literacy: Undergraduate Perceptions of Concepts and Practice in Library Instruction Sessions<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this grant-funded research, I collaborated with business faculty, created lesson plans to maximize library instruction, and administered surveys to assess current undergraduate perceptions and self-assessments of library instruction. The results of my study served as the basis for greater collaboration between professors in the business school and library. Moreover, the study illuminated student perceptions of the most effective portions of library instruction as well as what portions need to be enhanced in order to develop the information literacy component and prepare students for rewarding academic experiences as well careers in the business field. Attendees will review the research guide I created for the business students as well as the data collected on the guide\u2019s usage and students\u2019 perception of the guide.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ken McCoy <\/strong>is in his twenty-seventh year as a member of the Stetson Theatre Arts faculty.

His primary area of creative activity is as a director of over 50 productions for the stage and actor in nearly as many roles for stage, film, and television. Capable in Spanish, he is a long-term member of Stetson\u2019s Latin American and Latino Studies and Undergraduate Research Committees.
