2016 Trailblazer

31.
OMT Trailblazer AwardTrailblazer
Award• The Joanne Martin Trailblazer Award is presented
once every two years. The award recognizes scholars
who have taken a leadership role in the field of OMT by
opening up new lines of thinking or inquiry. A
Trailblazer is a boundary-spanner and a conversation
starter, someone who extends and builds the OMT
community by shepherding new ideas and new
scholarship, often in unconventional ways. Actions that
may indicate “trailblazing” behavior include starting up
or moving forward a journal or scholarly series,
organizing a conference or workshop, and beginning or
continuing a conversation about a set of OMT ideas.
