Political Context: Acknowledgements
We would be remiss if we didn't cap this chapter of the "Malamud at Oregon State" book without acknowledging all those who aided us along the way.
First, thank you to Dr. Raymond Malewitz and Dr. Ehren Pflugfelder for bringing a Digital Humanities course to Oregon State. Thank you for leading the way in research, and getting us to a point where we could visualize the project. Thanks for putting up with our endless emails and questions, and encouraging us constantly.
To the Special Collections and Archives Research Center (SCARC) at Oregon State University: We would not have any material to put on this page if not for you. Thanks for leading us in the right direction and getting just as excited about this project as we were. You're an incredible resource, staffed by incredible people.
To Bernard Malamud: Thanks for writing A New Life in 1961, and opening our eyes to the wonders of a college campus in the midst of the Red Scare. Thank you for creating characters worthy to be read.
To August L. Strand: Thanks for being entertaining and eloquent, both to those who supported you and to those who opposed you. Even if your wit got slightly out of hand on occasion.
To Dr. Ralph Spitzer and Professor L.R. LaVallee: Thanks for being interesting enough to base an entire project on.
Sincerely,
Adrienne Engle
