Anna Curtis
Anna Curtis, Sociology/Anthropology Department, recently had her book, Dangerous Masculinity: Fatherhood, Race, and Security Inside America’s Prisons, published by Rutgers University Press.
Lynn Anderson
Lynn Anderson, Recreation, Parks and Leisure Studies Department, recently completed the Distinguished Visiting Professor program with the University of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom. The distinguished service professor spent the week lecturing, debating and working with faculty and students in the School of Sport, Tourism, and the Outdoors at UCLAN. The university published this article on its blog site:http://uclanoutdoors.blogspot.com/.
Evan Faulkenbury
Evan Faulkenbury, History Department, co-edited a book titled Teaching Public History that was recently published by UNC Press.
Kathleen A. Lawrence
Kathleen A. Lawrence, Communication Studies Department, had four of her speculative poems published in the special Gothic themed April issue of Prachya Review. Her surreal poem titled “Horror Show” is written in hay(na)ku form. Her second poem is a spiraling abecedarian describing a spectral “Flock of Morose.” Her poem “Aftermath” is written as a post-apocalyptic warning and “Little Mayhem” is a dark accounting of a visit from tiny but threatening otherworldly creatures. Lawrence also just received word that her love letter-inspired spiraling abecedarian titled “Love Note” was accepted for publication in the fall issue of the James Dickey Review.
Timothy J. Baroni
Timothy J. Baroni, Biological Sciences Department, was a co-author on an article “The Wild Edible Mushroom Pleurocollybia cibaria from Peru is a Species of Gerhardtia in the Lyophyllaceae (Agaricales),” recently published in Cryptogamie, Mycologie. This wild edible mushroom is widely collected and a highly prized commodity sold in the Peruvian markets. Co-authors included: P. Brandon Matheny and Marisol Sánchez-García, University of Tennessee; Andriana Simoni, Hudbay Minerals, Lima Peru; María Holgado Rojas, Universidad Nacional de San Antonia Abad del Cusco, Peru; and, Genevieve M. Gates, University of Tasmania, Australia. Baroni was invited to help sort out the taxonomy of this mushroom because he and a former student, Nicole Bocsusis ’07, had published in 2008 an article, with two other co-authors and researchers from the USDA Forest Service, in the journal Mycotaxon describing a new species of Pleurocollybia from the Maya Mountains in Belize. In that paper, they also reviewed species placed in the genus Pleurocollybia on a global scale.
Ute Ritz-Deutch
Ute Ritz-Deutch, History Department, was presented with the “Amnesty International Keeper of the Flame Activism Award” for the northeast region. At the annual regional conference, which took place on Nov. 15 in Providence, Rhode Island, she also led a workshop on “How to create a Human Rights Podcast.” She hosts a weekly one-hour talk radio show on WRFI community radio in Ithaca, N.Y., called “The Human Rights and Social Justice Program.” The award was partly based on that. She has more than 260 podcasts on Soundcloud.
Andrea Davalos
Andrea Davalos, Biological Sciences Department, is part of a team of collaborators assembled by Carrie Brown-Lima, director of Cornell University’s New York Invasive Species Research Institute, that works independently on different aspects of swallow-wort ecology and control. Their work, keeping with the New York Invasive Species Research Institute’s mission to connect scientific researchers with on-the-ground managers to address key New York state invasive species issues, is detailed in a July 9 Cornell Chronicle article titled “Moth provides hope against invasive swallow-wort.” Pale and black swallow-wort are rapidly invading fields and forests across the Northeast. The team, which just received a grant from the New York Department of Transportation, will release swallow-wort biocontrol moths later this summer.
Also this summer, two SUNY Cortland students are working with Davalos on the project: Jeremy Collings, who received a Summer Research Fellowship and a grant from New York State Flora Association to pursue a parallel question regarding swallow-wort management in New York State Parks; and Emily Ammons, who started this summer. Both students are mostly involved with Davalos’ project but have assisted with the biocontrol project and will continue to be involved throughout the year.
Tyler Bradway
Tyler Bradway, English Department, had his article, “Slow Burn: Dreadful Kinship and the Weirdness of Heteronormativity in It Follows," published in the journal Studies in the Fantastic.
Katie Silvestri
Katie Silvestri, Literacy Department, co-authored an article about engineering and communicative literacies with K-12 students recently published in the Journal for Pre-College Engineering Education Research (J-PEER). Co-authors are Michelle Jordan of the University of Arizona, Patricia Paugh at the University of Massachusetts Boston, Mary McVee at the University at Buffalo SUNY, and Diane Schallert at the University of Texas - Austin.
The article is a state-of-the-art literature review focused on findings of 33 research articles informed by qualitative and quantitative data to foreground communicative literacies within engineering design teams at the pre-college level. The selected studies clustered under five overarching themes pertaining to: (a) engineering disciplinary communicative literacies in practice; (b) matters of access with populations underrepresented in engineering; (c) learning STEM content through engineering design; (d) affective responses to uncertainty and risk in engineering design; and (e) evaluating the quality of collaboration. With respect to the themes, the authors discuss possibilities of using literacy frameworks to deepen theoretical and methodological insights into the study of phenomena related to within-group communicative literacies in K-12 engineering spaces.
Genevieve Birren
Genevieve Birren, Sport Management Department, gave an invited presentation on the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act at the National Sports Law Institute's Fall Symposium held Oct. 15 at Marquette University Law School.
