Davis has a special connection to that body of water, having grown up in Pinellas County, Fla.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wanted all Americans to have both a historical and an ecological connection to the Gulf of Mexico,&#8221; Davis explained. &#8220;There\u2019s been a string of oil spills and weather events the media has covered that have reduced its image to a hurricane alley. I wanted people to know it was more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Immediately after receiving his Ph.D. in American History from Brandeis University in 1994, Davis returned to his home county to take his first teaching position at Eckerd.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were extremely fortunate that his first teaching job was at Eckerd College. He taught exciting courses in American history, especially environmental history,\u201d said Carolyn Johnston, Ph.D., professor of <a href=\"\/american-studies\/\">American studies<\/a> and <a href=\"\/history\/\">history<\/a> and the Elie Wiesel Professor of Humane Letters at Eckerd College. \u201cJack Davis is an outstanding historian and author. It is a pleasure and an honor to have him return to the College to deliver the Commencement address this year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Davis left Eckerd to continue his teaching career at the University of Alabama\u2013Birmingham and the University of Florida. Along the way, he authored award-winning books including <em>Race Against Time: Culture and Separation in Natchez Since 1930<\/em> and <em>An Everglades Providence: Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the American Environmental Century<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Longtime friend, colleague, fellow author and Eckerd College History Instructor <a href=\"\/history\/faculty\/\">Lee Irby<\/a> said Davis is uniquely qualified to deliver the Class of 2019&#8217;s final address. &#8220;Jack Davis understands what it&#8217;s like to chase a dream, to work hard for a goal. There was no silver spoon in his mouth at birth, and his path to the Pulitzer Prize took him through a stint in the U.S. Navy and more than a few dead-end jobs,&#8221; Irby opined. &#8220;Few people know and understand how fragile Florida\u2019s environment is, and Jack has delivered a masterpiece on the body of water, the Gulf of Mexico, that we all call home at Eckerd College.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Davis said he plans to talk about the future and the environment to the Class of 2019, with full hope that this generation will be the one to &#8220;figure out how to protect the planet. &#8230; The challenge is keeping the environment first and foremost. In particular, our policymakers need to know that environmental protection isn\u2019t just about the birds and the fish; it\u2019s also about quality of life,&#8221; Davis explained. &#8220;Not everything that contributes to quality of life has to be artificial.&#8221;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;3951&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In From Right&#8221; img_link_large=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em>Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jack Davis, whose\u00a0first teaching job was at Eckerd College<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;32&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;3950&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In From Right&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em>&#8220;The Gulf: The Making of An American Sea&#8221;\u00a0won the 2017 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction and the top prize for History at the 2018 Pulitzer Prize awards<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;] [\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":3951,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[205,40,59],"tags":[225,163,260,259],"class_list":{"0":"post-3949","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-about-eckerd","8":"category-american-studies","9":"category-history","10":"tag-carolyn-johnston","11":"tag-commencement","12":"tag-lee-irby","13":"tag-pulitzer"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
