(PR) Department of Communication requirement: Research must reflect a programmatic focus consistent with the author's teaching and research interests. Research must reflect a sustained and ongoing- effort over time. My scholarly activity falls into two areas(!) scholarship of teaching and learning and (2) communication, culture, and civility. The impact on the Communication field is evidenced by the peer-reviewed publications I have in these areas, the peer-reviewed regional, national and international conference presentations, invited presentations and lectures, and programs I have organized, chaired, or responded at professional academic conferences. In 2009, I was chosen as one of only nine Communication faculty members in the U.S.to help lead an "Communication as Engaged Scholarship" seminar for 36 doctoral students at PhD granting universities across the nation by the National Communication Association. I was selected because of my publications, presentations, and applied work in communication, culture, and civility. The Communication Activism text in which I had a co-authored chapter publication was recognized as a finalist for the National Communication Association Applied Communication Division Award in 2008. This text in which my co-authored chapter appeared in has to date been reviewed seven different times by top communication journals. My scholarship of teaching and learning work has been published in the Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning which has an article acceptance rate of between 21-30%, according to a compilation of journal acceptance rates by the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning at the Dillon 2 University of Central Florida. Other articles on the scholarship of teaching and learning have been published in the STAM Journal which has been recognized with awards as the Outstanding State Journal by the Central States Communication Association for two years (2005, 20 12). The book .. Linking Students and Teaching with the DIVERSITY of Everyday Life in which I contributed a chapter was a finalist for the Outstanding Book Award International/Intercultural Division of the National Communication Association in 2009. I have presented a top paper program in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and have been recognized with Missouri Showcase paper winners primarily with my scholarship and work with my department's internship program. l have been asked to read and review papers in the scholarship of teaching and learning and international and intercultural communication by both Central States Communication Association and the National Communication Association .

Puttin’ on the Glitz: Hollywood’s Influence on Fashion examines the major impact that Hollywood had and continues to have over fashion. This exciting exhibit highlights films and designers from Hollywood’s golden years through the 20th century, all presented within a historical context. Items on display include significant books, journals, images, videos, and movie posters from the Libraries’ collections, and stunning costumes from UCI’s drama department. The curator is Becky Imamoto, Research Librarian for History. I hope you enjoy the exhibit and return to view others in the future. Gerald L. Lowell Interim University Librarian - 3 - this exhibit examines the history of Hollywood costume design from its inception to the end of the 20th century. In the early 1910s, costume design was little more than an afterthought, with silent screen actresses providing costumes from their personal wardrobes. However, during the Golden Age (1930- 1959), Hollywood realized how much publicity and money could be generated through its promotion of new fashion designs, and so set to work building an image of splendor, luxury, and endless consumption. Hollywood was, and is, a powerful social force that determines what is considered by the rest of the world to be beautiful and glamorous.

  • Invisibility Themes in Silent Movies
    Chemistry Movies Blog by Mark Griep, sponsored by Oxford University Press and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation at tinyurl.com/chemmoviesblog Invisibility Themes in Silent Movies Image: Bersakov’s bust from Now You See Him, Now You Don’t (1972) still exists and is stored in the Disney Archives. It is the most recent movie to feature a paint or spray that confers invisibility to anything it covers. Note that Bersakov is the spitting image of Dmitri Mendeleev. Photo by Disney Archives Curator Dave Smith. Before you can study a movie theme, you need to create a list of movies with that theme. It is great when someone else has already created a list because you can use that as your starting point for verification. While creating my list of invisibility movies, I found that no one had yet created the so- called definitive list. Instead, I found many silent movies with the word “invisible” or “invisibility” in the title but with no accompanying information about their narratives. I had expected they would all be based on Herbert George Wells’s The Invisible Man novel of 1897 because the 1933 version by director James Whale was based upon that novel. When I found it difficult to determine whether the causative effect was chemical, physical, or otherwise, I decided to keep track of all of them. Whenever I found a synopsis with enough detail to make the determination, I noted it in my list. My list of 18 silent invisibility movies, serials, and cartoons (see list below) was pieced together from lists of other types of movies prepared by other researchers (Lahue 1968 Bound and Gagged: The History of the Silent Serial Cranberry, NJ: A.

  • Lillian Gish “Orphans of the Storm” (1921)
    LILLIAN GISH “ORPHANS OF THE STORM” (1921) Lillian Gish is often considered silent film’s greatest dra- matic actress, and her acting career spanned 85 years. One of her best-loved films is Orphans of the Storm where she plays a young woman from the country who brings her blind sister to Paris for medical help. (Her real sister, Dorothy, was the co-star.) The French Revolution breaks out and she and her sister are separated and sub- jected to danger on all sides before rescue by the famous Danton. Incidentally, director D.W. Griffith built his mon- umental 18th Century Paris in Westchester County, NY. Falling snow Hark! In the square Lets us know There’s a festive air It’s late December. But a restive beat of the drum. Life’s not sweet On the street, Is it a heartbeat of jubilation Orphans of the Storm. Or of the Terror to come? Stark on the green Gently take my hand, Stands a guillotine We’ll go exploring, Who awaits its cue to begin. Sift through city sand For last year’s smiles. Mobs form on the corners, Soldiers roam the park. Follow me, We hide in the archways, Soft and free, Trembling until dark. We’ll find a shelter, Where we’ll go Can it be the Bastille has been taken? Just to know That Marie Antoinette will be forsaken? We’re not alone. An artillery blare We’ll weave the crowds Drowns our quiet prayer: Into a blanket and be warm, Will this never end? Then sleep till silence wakes Will it ever end? The Orphans of the Storm.
