The Fulbright Program 1984-85 Directory—Volume 1 1984-85 Directory—Volume 1 Visiting Fulbright Scholars & Occasional Lecturers Council for International Exchange of Scholars “International educational exchange is the most sig­ nificant current project de­ signed to continue the process of humanizing mankind to the point, we would hope, that men can learn to live in peace— eventually even to cooper­ ate in constructive activi­ ties rather than compete in a mindless contest of mutual destruction... We must try to expand the boundaries of human wis­ dom, empathy and percep­ tion, and there is no way of doing that except through education.” Senator J.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 A b s t ra c t The short story has been an important genre in 20th century Chinese literature. By its very nature the short story affords the writer the opportunity to introduce swiftly any developments in ideology, theme or style. Scholars have interpreted Chinese fiction published during 1979 as indicative of a "change" in the development of 20th century Chinese literature. This study examines a number of short stories from 1979 in order to determine the extent of that "change". The first two chapters concern the establishment of a representative database and the adoption of viable methods of interpretation. An important, although much neglected, phenomenon in the make-up of 1979 literature are the works which appeared in so-called "nonofficial" journals.

Chromosomes in the Clinic: The Visual Localization and Analysis of Genetic Disease in the Human Genome Abstract This dissertation examines the visual cultures of postwar biomedicine, with a particular focus on how various techniques, conventions, and professional norms have shaped the `look', classification, diagnosis, and understanding of genetic diseases. Many scholars have previously highlighted the `informational' approaches of postwar genetics, which treat the human genome as an expansive data set comprised of three billion DNA nucleotides. Since the 1950s however, clinicians and genetics researchers have largely interacted with the human genome at the microscopically visible level of chromosomes. Mindful of this, my dissertation examines

  • Introductory Speech for Dorothy Warburton*
    2006 WILLIAM ALLAN AWARD ADDRESS Introductory Speech for Dorothy Warburton* Patricia A. Jacobs two students were Dorothy Warburton and David Rimoin. This must be a very proud day for Clarke Fraser, who can seldom, if ever, have had such a vintage year as ‘57. It is sad that he cannot be with us to bask in reflected glory, but we send him our congratulations. Dorothy remained in the Genetics Department at Mc- Gill and, under Clarke Fraser’s tutelage, gained her Ph.D. in 1961. I believe that Dorothy and Clarke are the only student-mentor pair to both be holders of the Allan Award, Dorothy this year and Clarke in 1979. In 1964, Dorothy left McGill because her husband, To- ney, had accepted an appointment at Barnard College in New York City. Dorothy joined the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University and has remained there ever since. She entered Columbia as a research as- sistant in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and rose through the ranks to become, in 1988, professor of Clinical Genetics and Development, a position she still holds. From 1969 until last year, Dorothy was also director of the Genetic Diagnostic Laboratory. Dorothy managed to combine the running of a large and successful diag- Patricia A.

This, to my mind, In June this year, I was asked by Dave Valle if I would is nothing short of miraculous.

  • Dorothy Warburton
    2006 WILLIAM ALLAN AWARD ADDRESS Having It All* Dorothy Warburton The phrase in my title, “Having It All,” is traditionally used as a description of a lifestyle, implicitly by a woman, that tries to combine career and family life without short- changing either one. The phrase does apply to my life in the usual sense, and I shall return to this at the end of my talk. However, I chose the phrase because it also seemed to describe my life in human genetics in several other ways. First, cytogenetics has allowed me to combine two seem- ingly disparate enthusiasms: the part of me that likes to play around in the laboratory with new techniques and the part that likes to sit at my calculator or computer and play around with numbers. Secondly, “Having It All” can also be used as a metaphor for the achievement of the Human Genome Project, which I have also seen come to fruition since attending the first human gene–mapping conference in 1973. Thirdly, I have been able to have it all in another sense, by combining both clinical and re- search activities during almost 40 years of directing a clin- ical cytogenetics lab in an academic setting. Dorothy Warburton My father was a chemist, and I owe him much in giving me an early love of science and the expectation that I When I first learned that I was to give this talk, I looked could excel in it even though I was female. He bought me back at my predecessors to see what they had done.

IRB Protocol number: 12-0164 Beer, Samuel J. (Ph.D., Linguistics) Contraction in Nyang’i: A Descriptive and Comparative Study Thesis directed by Zygmunt Frajzyngier This dissertation presents the first systematic description of the grammar of a variety of Nyang’i, a previously undescribed moribund Kuliak language once spoken in Karamoja Region, Uganda. Because Nyang’i is only remembered by a single semi-speaker, it has undergone considerable contraction; the description captures a moment in the death of a language and is an empirical study of the dissolution of a grammatical system. The description is based on a corpus of procedural and narrative texts recorded, transcribed, and translated over the course of seven months of fieldwork in Karamoja, Uganda. Topics covered include basic phonological patterns, the formal and functional criteria used to distinguish major lexical categories, the morphological structure of nouns and verbs, a selection of the grammatical functions encoded by the grammar, and the formal means used to encode them.
