The fellowship will allow Lamahieu to be relieved of his teaching and service responsibilities at Clemson to allow the Professor to devote his attention full time to researching and writing a manuscript for the book in order to send it out to a university press for publication, which could be in an academic setting, such as a college or university, or may be marketed more broadly outside of an university setting considering the subject matter and how the final book may take shape, according to the Professor.
