Betty Jean Craige, university professor of comparative literature
and director of the Center for Humanities and Arts, studies Western
society’s shift in conceptual order from a dualistic to a
holistic understanding of nature and culture. Her six books include
a biography of the late ecologist Eugene Odum, a book on American
patriotism and a volume on literary study. In Laying the Ladder
Down, which won a Georgia Author of the Year Award in Non-Fiction,
Craige argues that Western culture’s shift toward cultural
holism is evident from such social forces as feminism and the peace
and environmental movements. Craige co-directs the Delta
Prize for Global Understanding, which has been awarded to such luminaries
as Jimmy and Roslyn Carter and Desmond Tutu.
