Please join me in congratulating Dorsey Armstrong, professor of English, comparative literature, and medieval studies, for being a recipient of the 2017 Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award in Memory of Charles B. Murphy. 

The Murphy Award is Purdue’s highest undergraduate teaching honor and is accompanied by a $10,000 cash award. Dorrie will also be inducted into Purdue’s Teaching Academy, which provides leadership for the improvement of undergraduate, graduate, and outreach teaching.

She has published numerous articles in journals such as Exemplaria and Arthurian Literature, and chapters in various academic books. She is the author of Gender and the Chivalric Community in Malory’s Morte d’Arthur, Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur: A New Modern English Translation Based on the Winchester Manuscript and Mapping Malory: Regional Identities and National Geographies in Le Morte Darthur.
