Associate professor Dr. Leslie Baynes, of the Department of Languages, Cultures and Religions (LCR) was appointed an inaugural fellow of the Inklings Project for the 2023-2024 academic year.

According to the organization’s website, the Inklings Project is an “intercollegiate initiative that invites people to pursue meaning and joy by entering the world of C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and the other Inklings.” Based on this mission, the organization supports faculty who teach courses based on the Inklings and their writings.

Baynes has been a faculty member at Missouri State University since 2005 and has been teaching a course on C. S. Lewis (REL 341) at MSU since 2007. Her book on Lewis, “Incarnation and Imagination: C. S. Lewis and the Bible,” will be published by Eerdmans Publishing Company next year.
