Musicology professor receives 2021 Chancellors Club Teaching Award

Paul Laird, professor of musicology at the University of Kansas, is known for his creative, energetic teaching style filled with movement and music. 

After a class at KU’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, the university’s continuing education center, Laird received a review from a participant that said, “Nail his shoes to the floor!” 

Laird was undeterred. “I said, ‘Hey! I’ll just take ’em off. You’re not going to keep me in one place!’”

His enthusiasm and memorable style in large part earned Laird the 2021 Chancellors Club Career Teaching Award. Since joining the KU faculty in 1994, he has gained the admiration and trust of countless students he has taught, mentored and guided through undergraduate, post-graduate and post-doctoral endeavors.
