Featured Pew FTLC Grant


Austin Bunn, Assistant Professor of Writing, received a 2009 Pew Scholar Teacher grant to interview plant  workers, union reps, managers, economic historians, trauma counselors, etc. from the General Motors Wyoming, MI plant about the transformations in the American Car Industry with the help of two students, Tom Mervenne and James Walsh.  Their participation became an essential part of what RUST turned out to be: James is a character in the show and Tom wrote a short story adapted dramatically back into the piece.  An adaptation of the documentary play “Rust,” was published in the January 8 issue of the New York Times magazine: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/
