The fellowships provide opportunities for early career scholars, within three years of their Ph.D., to deepen their skills and gain exposure to new research environments. The goal of the program is to foster close interaction between a new generation of Scandinavian scholars and faculty at Stanford and the wider North American intellectual community. In February of 2014, a Finnish postdoc, Markus Paukku, joined the Graduate School of Education and is working with Assoc. Prof. Mitchell L. Stevens. Markus is involved in research on education technology and the digital transformation in situ, as a field-emergence problem.

Jonna Lourier from Hanken School of Economics is working with Prof. Shelley Correll and Dr. Andrea Davies at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research. Jonna is involved in research on gender diversity and corporate leadership. Love Börjesson, Stockholm University School of Business, is working with Prof. Dan McFarland in the Graduate School of Education on computational social science research.

Some were sym- AND BEYOND 2 bolic: America elected its first black president. Others were literal: China suffered the most devastating earthquake in decades. The most dramatic shift of 2008 was economic: The burst of the U.S. housing bubble and widespread failures in finan- cial regulation swept economies around the globe into crisis. Beyond the worlds of politics and financial markets, a subtler but no less radical shift was tak- ing place. In time, it would touch one billion people across the plan- et. It’s epicenter was the Silicon Valley. YouTube made the video star On a Wednesday evening, Stan- ford music program graduate Jack Conte (class of ‘06) is giv- ing a talk in the studio beneath Bing Concert Hall on campus. A small group has gathered to listen as Conte discusses his lat- est creative projects, including his band, Pomplamoose, formed with fellow Stanford grad Nataly Dawn in 2008 (the duo has a gig on campus Nov. 1). Dressed in a close-fitted tee and a trucker hat, with a boyish face and a lean frame, Conte looks closer to 20 than 30, though a bushy beard Jeffrey Marini lends him a certain hipster gravi- tas.

  • Stanford University: a World-Class Legacy
    California’s Stanford University: A World-Class Legacy Author’s Note: This article “California’s Stanford University: A World-Class Legacy” is also a chapter in my travel guidebook/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebookin Chinese. Parallel coverage on Northern California occurs in my latest travel guidebook/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. All my travel guidebooks/ebooks on California can be seen on myAmazon Author Page. By Lee Foster On October 1, 1891, Senator Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane, officially opened Leland Stanford Junior University. The school became one of the premier institutions of higher education and loveliest campuses in the West. For today’s traveler, headed for the San Francisco region in Northern California, Stanford University is a cultural enrichment to consider including in a trip. The University owes its existence to a tragic death while the Stanford family was on a European Trip in Florence, Italy. After typhoid fever took their only child, a 15- year-old son, the Stanfords decided to turn their 8,200-acre stock farm into the Leland Stanford Junior University. They expressed their desire with the phrase that “the children of California may be our children.” Years later the cerebral establishment is still called by some “The Farm.” Leland Stanford had used the grounds to raise prize trotter racehorses, orchard crops, and wine grapes. The early faculty built homes in Palo Alto, one neighborhood of which became “Professorville.” In a full day of exploration you can visit the campus, adjacent Palo Alto, and the nearby Palo Alto Baylands marshes of San Francisco Bay, a delight to the naturalist.
