Assistant Professor Copeland Wins Award at CATA Conference
October 26, Rochester, NY – Assistant Professor of Theology Becky Copeland was this weekend awarded the first prize for the best paper in this year’s God’s Wisdom and the Wonder of Creation Conference of the Canadian-American Theological Association (CATA). Her paper, “Wells, Springs, and Commodification: Water Rights and Hagar’s Tribulations,” won The Jack and Phyllis Middleton Memorial Award for Excellence in Bible and Theology. Given in memory of Jack and Phyllis Middleton, parents of J. Richard Middleton, president of the Canadian Evangelical Theological Association (CETA) from 2011- 2014, essays considered for the award must address the intersection of the Bible and theology and can be interdisciplinary in nature.
Dr. Copeland’s essay will be published in a forthcoming issue of the CATA Review. Congratulations to Professor Copeland on this fantastic achievement!
