Douglas W. Mc!v1illen, Associate Dean COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES ANNUAL REPORT
January 1- December 31, 2007
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences individual faculty and program accomplishments in 2007 were outstanding. As this report chronicles, College faculty engaged in substantial amounts of scholarly activity, publishing 4 books, 65 refereed journal articles or book chapters, and 28 articles in conference proceedings. Faculty received external grant funding totaling more than $850,000, with major grants to Kevin Ladd ($736K) from the Templeton Foundation and to Andy Schnabel and Kirk Mecklenburg ($86K) from the National Science Foundation. In addition, Murli Nair was co-PI on a $620K grant to Purdue University from NSF. The faculty provided quality teaching to our students as well as significant and important service to the College, campus, university, local community, and beyond. Roughly 58% of the total campus student credit hours in fall 2007 were in Liberal Arts and Sciences courses, and the average enrollment was high (25 students per section). College faculty members have been leaders in the development of courses to support the campus general education curriculum.
We added eight new members to the tenured Associate Professor rank: Elizabeth Bennion, Kevin Ladd, Isabel O'Connor, Robert Pope, Elaine Roth, Michael Scheessele, Henry Scott, and Dana Vrajitoru; and Nancy Troeger and Dennis Wolf to the rank of Senior Lecturer. Patricia Lewis received an all-IU Part-Time Faculty Teaching Award, and Betty Mooney received an IU South Bend Associate Faculty Distinguished Teaching Award. Neovi Karakatsanis received an IU South Bend Distinguished Teaching Award, and Ken Smith received an all-IU W. George Pinnell Award for Service. We had seven recipients of Trustees' Teaching Awards. Becky Torstrick received the Outstanding Advisor Award. In 2007 we welcomed 21 new full-time faculty members, including eight new assistant professors and a Fulbright Scholar in Residence. Three faculty members retired in 2007 (Pat McNeal, Mary Truex, and Mike Washburn).
Faculty research and creative activity has received substantial external recognition. The Michiana Chronicles, with contributors Joe Chaney, Louise Collins, April Lidinsky, Jonathan Nashel, and Ken Smith, received an Edward R. Murrow Award for Writing. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, which has Ilan Levine as one of its members, won the prestigious Benjamin Franklin Medal in Physics. Peter Bushnell received extensive media coverage for his trip to Antarctica on board a Danish research vessel. In recognition of Jim Wolfer's contributions to IEEE's Medicine and Biology Society, he was awarded Senior Membership status .bY IEEE.
CLAS faculty~7actively involve undergraduate students in their research, and this year was particularly noteworthy. In 2007, 22 students were listed as co-authors on seven refereed journal articles. In addition, there were 52 separate presentations at professional meetings with students as authors or co-authors. There were 19 SMART awards to CLAS students.
Although the College faces a number of areas of concern, an excellent faculty will be able to address these concerns and continue to graduate liberally educated students who are well- prepared to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world . .. CLAS 2007 College Annual Report .. II II

ADVANCE COLLEGE PROJECT •I Mary Anna C. Dimitrakopoulos, Director Director's Remarks • In the past year, I worked on getting Indiana University South Bend ACP National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships [NACEP] accredited. NACEP Accreditation was awarded Indiana University South Bend AGJ> on April 17, 2007. I now serve on several NACEP Review • Teams for institutions nationwide that have applied for NACEP Accreditation.
Insuring the NACEP Accreditation Standards are followed by Indiana University South Bend ACP high schools, teachers, and faculty liaisons. •
In addition, I worked to establish the ACP program at Bremen, West Noble, Edwardsburg, La Porte, and New Prairie High Schools. Teachers were trained in English, Fine Arts, and Speech • in order to teach the courses in 2006-2007.
Honing an ACP partnership with the IU South Bend Raclin School of The Arts with courses in • Art History; Studio Art; and Public Speaking and in the CLAS Department of Biological Sciences in Physiology was critical work in the Indiana University South Bend ACP program. Summer training seminars for teachers were held on the IU South Bend campus in Summer • 2007. Expansion of the ACP program through our campus saw me meeting with as many Principals as • were willing to talk about the program, both in existing ACP schools and at new ones [Washington High School in South Bend; DeKalb High School in Waterloo, IN; Eastside High School in Butler, IN and Lakeland High School, in LaGrange, IN. • PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES • Leadership positions held in a professional association (e.g., elected officer, committee chairperson, conference chair) • Mary Anna C.

A number of significant events occurred this academic year. In the summer of 2007, Mrs. Mary Truex retired after 15 years of service as a lecturer in our department. During that time she taught numerous different lecture and lab classes and made important curricular contributions to all of • them. While she has formally retifed, we are pleased that she will continue working part time for us as an adjunct instructor. We are equally pleased that Ms. Shannon Oldenburg has proved to be J an able, enthusiastic, and valuable replacement. Ms. Oldenburg started in the Fall of2007, has an MS from Ball State, and has fit seamlessly into our Anatomy and Physiology program where most of her teaching responsibilities lie. • Enrollment in various facets of the Biology program (Biology major's, pre-professional programs, etc.) remained healthy. The number of biology majors stood at about 300, with 18 of them graduating in 2007, and 3 others being accepted into professional schools without having completed their degree. •II The Biology faculty were, again, very active in the scholarship arena. Drs. Schnabel and Mecklenburg were awarded an $86,000 NSF DBI grant ("Major Research Instrumentation: Acquisition of a genetic analyzer for research, research training, and education at IU South Bend"), as well as an NSF REU supplement (Schnabel) to support undergraduate research. Dr. Schnabel also continued work on his multi-year NSF grant to study pollination in African acacia trees. Finally, members of the Biology Department published 5 research articles in peer-reviewed journals and made a total of 12 presentations at local and national meeting. In keeping with the department's commitment to provide research opportunities for II undergraduate students, approximately 19students participated in departmental research projects this year. IUSB undergraduates appeared as co-authors on 2 publications in professional, peer reviewed journals, and delivered 5 oral and poster presentations at meetings which included: the .... Ecological Society of America (San Jose, CA), the Microscopy Society Spring meeting (Indianapolis, IN), the American Society for Cell Biology (Washington, DC), and the Botanical • Society of America (Chicago, IL)......

CLAS 2007 College Annual Report 35 CHEMISTRY 'I COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCES I Hossein Hakimzadeh, Chair (Spring)
David Surma, Chair (Fall) I I Chair's Remarks i 2007 was a busy year for the department. In the spring we successfully underwent our 7 year I external review. Rather than follow standard campus procedures we chose to be reviewed under the more strict ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) criteria. This was done to not only comply with IU requirements but to prepare the department for future I accreditation. A nationally experienced reviewer came to campus and provided directions for future departmental goals, and he helped identify the strengths and weaknesses of our current assessment program. After the visit the department began working on implementing many of the I suggestions given with the goal to apply for accreditation in the near future.
In the Fall of2007, Dr. Nicolae Santeanjoined the department filling the position created by the retirement of Dr. William J. Knight. Dr. Santean received his PhD from the University of I Western Ontario and joined us after a one year post-doc at the University of Waterloo. He specializes in Compilers and Theoretical Computing. In other personnel matters, Dr. Michael Scheessele and Dr. Dana Vrajitoru were both granted tenure and promotion to Associate I Professor. Also, Dr. Scheessele began a one year sabbatical in the fall.
Our enrollment in computer science and informatics continued to be healthy. Enrollment was I approximately 170 undergraduates in computer science and informatics and about 30 graduate students pursuing their MS degrees in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. I During 2007, our faculty remained active in their research, teaching and service to the university. The faculty published their research in more than 30 journal articles and conference proceedings. The faculty was also active in grantsmanship. Dr. Liqiang Zhang received a grant through the I Indiana 21st Century Research and Technology Fund, Dr. Mike Scheessele and Dr. Liguo Yu received IUSB Faculty Research grants and Dr. Raman Adaikkalavan received an Oversees Conference Fund grant to be used to travel to Brazil in early 2008. To aid students, the I department worked with the 11-10-02 foundation to establish the Michael C. Back memorial scholarship which will be awarded to two computer science students in the Spring of 2008. I The departm~_nt continued to be active in its outreach mission. Examples of such activity include faculty and student volunteering efforts to provide expertise to our local and regional non-profit organizations; increased interaction with local and regional K-12 educational institutions; I internships and professional practice; increased course offerings for non-majors and community members; increased departmental sponsorship of public presentations; development of stronger relationships with our alumni; and the creation of endowments and scholarships in computer science.

Ill CLAS 2007 College Annual Report 45 COMPUTER & INFORMATION SCIENCES ~ I II ENGLISH II Margaret Scanlan, Chair (Spring) II Elaine Roth, Chair (Fall) II Chair's Remarks
In spring 2007 the department interviewed three candidates for an assistant professorship in II nineteenth-century literature. In fall, we welcomed the successful candidate, Jake Mattox, a new Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego. Sarah LaDow and Diane Persin accepted one-year visiting lectureships in composition; Clayton Michaels, Virginia Olson, and Johannes II Goransson held one-semester visiting lectureships; Katarzyna Chmielewska, who is writing a dissertation in film studies at IU-Bloomington, began a one-year Future Faculty Fellowship. A committee chaired by Ken Smith, which included Lee Kahan, Margaret Scanlan, Eileen Bender J and Julio Hernandez (World Languages), started the search for a medievalist to replace Jim Blodgett, slated to retire in May 2007.
In spring 2007, Ken Smith won the (much deserved!) W. George Pinnell all-university Award for Outstanding Service. He shared the regional Edward R. Murrow Award for Writing with other faculty members who create the Michiana Chronicles radio essay series, including his I~ colleague in English, Joe Chaney. Nancy Botkin's poetry collection, Parts That Were Once Whole, was published by Mayapple Press, and in April the department celebrated with her at a reception and reading. Sally Smits was nominated for "Best New Poets 2007" for her previously ...... published poem, "brief history," and had a poem published in the Georgia Review. • In April, Jackie Collins, Joanne Detlef, Smiljka Cubelic and Sarah LaDow presented a panel on I the "Pedagogy of Professionalization" at the annual Scholarship of Teaching and Learning" ... conference. In November, Karen Gindele, Lee Kahan, Kelcey Parker, and Elaine Roth were members of a panel on "Confronting Realist Assumptions in the Classroom" at the Midwest Modem Language Association in Cleveland. The same month, Margaret Scanlan gave a keynote II address at the "Terrorism and Migration" conference at the University of Southampton (England) called "Migrating from Terror: the Postcolonial Novel after 9/11." Anne Magnan-Park chaired a ..... panel at the American Literary Translator's Association Conference. Angela Huettl presented at I the Annual Conference on Learning Communities and Collaboration.
2007 was a~banner year for events in English. In addition to Nancy Botkin, Dana Roeser did a I..... poetry reading in February, while Johannes Goransson read his poetry in December. In April, John Gallaher served as judge for the departmental literary awards, including the Wolfson poetry prize, and read from his poetry after the awards were presented. In March, Hiram Perez spoke I on the film Brokeback Mountain; in November, Diane Sadoff of Rutgers University gave a guest lecture on film adaptations of Gothic and horror fiction. In two events tied to campus theme events, guest speakers spoke about the art of translating poetry; Alexis Levitin spoke in April and I Jean Anderson, a frequent co-author with Anne Magnan-Park, spoke about translations into
CLAS 2007 College Annual Report 46 ENGLISH I I Ill II French and English of indigenous poetry from Tahiti and New Zealand.
On July 1, Elaine Roth became English department chair; Margaret Scanlan continued as - associate chair, and Rebecca Brittenham returned from sabbatical to resume her position as Ill Director of First-Year Writing. Nancy Troeger became Associate Director of the First-Year Writing program. Ken Smith, who acted as Interim Director in her absence, becamei~Director of the Master's of Liberal Studies Program.

.. HISTORY .. Isabel O'Connor, Chair Chair's Remarks
:,i:-1... • The year 2007 was very productive for History faculty and students. Several members of the Department were on leave. Yosuke Nirei was on leave for the entire year, while Jonathan Nashel •• and Lisa Zwicker were on leave in the Spring 2007. In December 2007, Kevin Smant, a long- term adjunct in the department, moved to Texas. In his many years of service, Kevin II distinguished himself as a dedicated teacher and loyal member of the department. He is greatly missed by faculty, staff, and students throughout the campus. · ·· ·
II The History faculty were actively engaged in research and scholarship. Several members of the Department presented papers at top international, national, and local conferences, with venues ranging from Montreal, Canada to Atlanta. Isabel 0 'Connor served as chair and organizer of the Premodern Spanish History Association of the Midwest Annual Meeting, which was held at IU South Bend in March 2007. Dmitry Shlapentokh and Isabel 0' Connor published articles in - refereed journals. Dmitry Shlapentokh published several book reviews and Jonathan Nashel's radio essays were published in And Now, Michiana Chronicles. Faculty were successful also at obtaining grants to support their research and teaching. Isabel O'Connor and Lisa Zwicker received IU South Bend Faculty Research Grants. Jonathan Nashel received a New Frontiers Exploration Traveling Grant to finance his travel to the University of Toulon, France, where he taught a course on American history in March 2007.
The History faculty held a very productive retreat in May 2007 to discuss issues related to the teaching of history at IU South Bend. Foil owing this exchange of ideas, the faculty made extensive revisions to the requirements for the major and to the Department's mission statement in preparation for the Fall 2007 program review. The outside reviewer, Dr. Gary Stark, praised the Department's accomplishments in research, service, and teaching. Also, two faculty members were recognized for their teaching efforts in 2007: Isabel O'Connor received a Trustees Teaching Award and Monica Tetzlaff was selected by the Student Government Association as -_. Teacher of the Year. The number of History majors and minors continues to grow. More importantly, in 2007 History majors reached unprecedented levels of success, both on caru.pus and e.Jsewhere. Sara Lowe received the Dean's Scholarship in the Humanities, while Kristi Dunn received the Research ~ Award in Religious Studies and the J. Wesley and Roberta Robbins Scholarship . Under the supervision of Monica Tetzlaff, director of the Civil Rights Heritage Center, Derek Webb revitalized the Oral History Project. In March 2007, several History majors, under the direction of Lisa Zwicker, presented papers at Purdue Calumet Undergraduate Research Conference. II- History faculty continued to provide service to the campus, the university, and the community through committee assignments and public lectures. Of particular note is the work that Monica .. Tetzlaff and Hayley Froysland did at the Civil Rights Heritage Center. In the summer of 2007, .. CLAS 2007 College Annual Report 55 HISTORY ..

Ill Chair's Remarks
Ill The year 2007 was a very productive year for the department. There have been steady demands for our major programs. Dr. Yi Cheng became the director for our joint Master's degree program in Applied Mathematics and Computer Sciences. The department conducted two successful Ill tenure-track searches; it was a very busy spring semester. We were very happy to welcome Dr. Shanqin Chen and Dr. Robert Huff, who joined the department as tenure-track assistant professors in fall 2007. Professor Dennis Wolf received a well-deserved promotion to senior Ill lecturer .
The department agreed to resume the High School Math Contest in 2008 and also approved the suggested change to the team scoring. The department revised the Promotion and Tenure .. Guidelines based on suggestions made by the evaluator who performed our external program review. The first ever online M111 Mathematics in the World was approved by the department Ill and will be offered in spring 2008. We revised the Department Travel Reimbursement policy and the Reappointment Committee policy. The Department Curriculum Committee recommended several revisions to our degree requirements. The department chair initiated the schedule Ill coordination with chairs at St. Mary's College and Bethel College, and three departments agreed on making our upper level offering schedule more complementary
II The Mathematical Sciences faculty continued to actively pursue their research interests, which resulted in the publication of ten articles and twelve presentations. In addition, several faculty members have served on editorial boards for journals in the mathematical sciences, and many II have refereed articles for journals and books in their subfields.

CLAS 2007 College Annual Report 71 MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES Ill... PHILOSOPHY Ill Louise Collins, Chair Ill Chair's Remarks Ill As 2007 opened, the Philosophy Department was in the middle of two searches, to replace our colleagues Mike Washburn (who was retiring) and Diana Fleming (who resigned). Since we are a small department, this change in personnel comprised 40% of our full-time faculty, and so was Ill highly significant in its potential impact. Our searches concluded very successfully with the hiring of two excellent new faculty members, Dr. Mahesh Ananth (Bowling Green State University, 2003), who was then at Chicago State University, and Dr. Matt Shockey (University Ill of Chicago, 2004), who was teaching part-time at the University of Pittsburgh. The Department is very pleased to have them both as our colleagues.
In 2007, Mike Washburn retired after over more than 30 years of service to IU South Bend, and Ill all who knew him will miss his pleasant presence, fair-mindedness, modesty, and scholarly insight. Matt Shockey published an article on Locke in one of the top journals in the field, the History of - Philosophy Quarterly, and Lyle Zynda had an article appear in the top journal in his field, Philosophy of Science. In December, Lyle also served as a faculty commenter at a graduate Ill student conference at Western Michigan University, which mixed graduate student presentations with established faculty commentary and keynote talks. Notably, this conference was organized by one of our recent (2006) graduates, who went on from here to work on a Master's degree in Ill Philosophy at Western Michigan. (She has since earned her Master's degree and this fall will be entering the Ph.D. program in Philosophy at UC Berkeley, one of the top Ph.D. programs in Philosophy in North America.) Also in 2007, another of our recent 2006 graduates began Ill working on a Master's degree in Philosophy, at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. He also plans to apply to Ph.D. programs, and the Department anticipates he will be successful in gaining admission to a top program. Ill
The Department graduated three of its majors this year, at least one of whom plans to pursue graduate work. The department is pleased at the quality of many of its recent graduates. Ill Louise Collins continued her work as a commentator on WVPE's series Michiana Chronicles. Nine of her essays were broadcast in 2007. A collection of essays from writers in this series was Ill the second publication of the new Wolfson Press. In addition to this, the Chronicles received the Regional 2007 Edward R. Murrow Award for Writing from the Radio and Television News Directors Association (RTNDA) for the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. Louise Ill also was one of the nominees for the Michiana YWCA Tribute to Women (education category). Louise passed along her duties as chair to Lyle as the year ended, and she is now enjoying a well-deserved sabbatical. II
CLAS 2007 College Annual Report 72 PHILOSOPHY Ill II II The Philosophy Department was also very active in service. JR Shrader is on the editorial board of Philosophical Compass, and also is on the advisory committee for the Society of Christian II Philosophers (Central Region). Mahesh Ananth prepared an extensive bibliography for one volume of a multi-volume encyclopedia of legal philosophy and jurisprudence. Lyle did referee work for the Philosophical Quarterly. On the local front, Louise Collins engaged in much service both to our campus and community, her well appreciated campus service activities too numerous to mention in the summary; worth mentioning as examples are her commUhity service are her work with the College Prep Camp for Girls and a presentation for the Association of Fund-Raising Professionals. Lyle was also engaged in extensive service, e.g., as part of the HLC Reaccreditation Self-Study team and, beginning in the fall, as a member of the Senate Executive Committee, and was on the panel of the 2007 Darwin Day panel, which was attended by well II over 100 people from the campus and community. Matt made a presence for himself quickly with the Recycling and Sustainability committees, and also served on the Environmental Studies committee. He created a new course in environmental ethics that the Department hopes to offer regularly. In addition to his other committee work, JR Shrader helped to organize and conduct a study on academic integrity for the Teaching Committee, on which he served as chair in the II Spring term. The Department also serves the campus community by sponsoring public lectures. As part of the campus' sustainability theme, in the Fall term, Dr. Donald Scherer (Bowling Green State University) gave a very well attended talk on "The Virtues of a Sustainable Society." The Biology Department co-sponsored this talk with Philosophy. Both departments are grateful to Mahesh Ananth for taking the initiative to organize this event.

Ill Chair's Remarks
By any measure, the Department of Physics and Astronomy enjoyed another successful year in Ill 2007. Our five tenure-line faculty members produced eight publications in refereed journals and two more in conference proceedings, four invited talks at other universities, six contributed presentations at scientific meetings, and three external and two internal grants. Students from our Ill department presented at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR), the Argonne Undergraduate Research Symposium, and the IU Northwest College of Arts & Sciences Ill Research Conference. Enrollments in our upper level courses were healthy, reflecting our slow but steady improvement in attracting and retaining physics majors. The elective major courses offered in 2007 included Ill the familiar PHYS-P334 Fundamentals of Optics, taught by Bruce Zimmerman, and the first- time offering of AST-A453 Topical Astrophysics, taught by Jerry Hinnefeld on the topic of nuclear astrophysics. The latter is a prime example of research informing teaching, as this is IIIII currently Jerry's primary research interest. A very important curricular innovation was the introduction of PHYS-S 106 Contemporary 1111 Physics Seminar in Fall 2007. This 1-cr., pass/fail course is designed to offer an introduction to some of the fascinating research currently being carried out in physics to students who are just beginning their college careers. The course features research talks aimed at this audience by Ill faculty and students from our department, by our alumni, and by distinguished visiting scientists. Highlights of this first offering of the course, organized by Henry Scott, were visits by Prof. Mitch Wayne, chair of the physics department at Notre Dame, Dr. Peter Cooper ofFermilab, and Prof. Romualdo de Souza of IU Bloomington, as well as by IUSB physics alumnus (and current Ill Notre Dame grad student) William Zech. 1111 In addition to our significant contributions in the areas of service and academic advising, it should be recognized that our department serves the needs of the entire student population through our extensive general education course offerings. In fact, the eleven sections of our PHYS, AST, and GEOL versions of N190 The Natural World accounted for over 60% of the Ill campus offerings of this Common Core course in 2007, and we are likely to increase that percentage in 2008.
Last, but by no means least, we celebrated the promotion of Henry Scott to associate professor, - with tenure. - - - CLAS 2007 College Annual Report 77 PHYSICS & ASTRONOMY ' II

II Chair's Remarks
In 2007, the Department graduated thirteen majors and 7 minors. Aliina Kuismi was awarded the Ill Political Science Academic Excellence Award and Francisco Fotia received the John M. Lewis Award for Civic Engagement. A number of political science graduates are enrolled in law school and other graduates are working in the areas of campaigns and elections. Dr. Neovi Karakatsanis II once again mentored a group of students to attend the Model European Union meetings at IUPUI and several of them won awards. II Faculty in the Department were very active professionally during 2007. Bennion, Gerencser, and Karakatsanis had articles and/or book chapters published as well as making presentations at national, regional, and local conferences. Popescu received external funding to attend an II international geography conference and also presented a paper at the National Geographer's Annual meeting. Popescu and Bennion also received faculty research grants during 2007. II A special honor was awarded to Neovi Karakatsanis who received the 2007 IU South Bend Distinguished Teaching Award. Elizabeth Bennion was promoted to associate professor with II tenure. All faculty in the Department were active in service -local, regional, and national. Faculty in the Political Science Department are dedicated to being campus citizens and the level of service each II member of the Department engaged in is testament to our commitment to the University. As 2007 came to a close, a decision was made to incorporate the Master of Public Affairs degree Ill into the Dept. of Political Science. The addition of a graduate degree will enable the Department to expand its curriculum to meet the needs of students in search of graduate work. Two faculty members will be joining the Political Science Department in 2008 - George Candler and Tracey II Trottier. SCHOLARSHIP

Working with students continues to be a primary activity of our faculty. In addition to the many hours devoted to teaching classes, faculty worked with students on research projects resulting in two publications and 7 conference Ill presentations. We continue to revise courses to meet Gen Ed requirements, and are developing a new certificate program in applied behavior analysis. Faculty spent a great deal of time advising students individually and through new student orientations and several faculty serve as advisors to student clubs .
• Scholarship continues to be a focus of faculty efforts. In 2007, faculty published 8 articles, and .. made 5 invited presentations and 13 formal presentations. They received 4 external and one internal grant for their research. The most notable of these was a huge $735,849 grant to Dr. Kevin Ladd from the Templeton Foundation to study the social psychology of religion. Dr. Ladd II has set up a very active research lab that involves 7 undergraduates in his project.
The Psychology faculty is highly involved in service to the university, the community, and the II profession. For example, faculty are active in UCET and FACET, the Campus Diversity Committee, many Senate committees, and various search committees. Most are active in national professional organizations, frequently review manuscripts and grants, and several serve on the II editorial boards of national journals. Many of our faculty serve on community advisory boards, make presentations to community groups, and are interviewed by local media. (In addition, Dr. Mcintosh was interviewed by newspapers in other states, the Wall Street Journal, Prevention II Magazine, and a Japanese newspaper.) There have been a few personnel changes in 2007. We hired a new clinical psychologist in August, Dr. Daniel DeBrule (Daniel received his Ph.D. during the summer of 2008), who .. specializes in research and treatment of post-traumatic stress syndrome. He replaces Dr. Tom Mawhinney, who retired last year. We were also able to hire a visiting instructor, Ms. Ginger DeBrule, who is helping with the applied behavior analysis courses. In addition, Dr. Kevin Ladd II was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor and was granted tenure .
Finally, several faculty members received special recognition in 2007. Dr. Catherine Borshuk .. won the Trustees Teaching Award. Dr. De Bryant gave the Lundquist Faculty Fellowship Lecture and was named Woman of the Year in the Human and Civil Rights category. Dr. Frank Fujita was selected as the outside Honors Program member for an honors committee at .. Tennessee Tech. II ..

SOCIOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY • Dan Olson, Chair (Spring) • Gail McGuire, Chair (Fall) •II Chair's Remarks
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology continued to excel in teaching and service and remained productive in scholarship. Our department experienced several significant changes in 2007. Gail McGuire replaced Dan Olson as chair and we hired a medical anthropologist, Theo • Randall. We also welcomed Fulbright Scholar Nimrod Luz from Israel. Finally, we hired one of our long-time adjuncts, Carrie Erlin, as a visiting faculty member for the year. • The department's commitment to excellence in teaching is evident not only in our classroom instruction, but in the numerous ways in which we engage students outside of the classroom. For instance, our Trustees' Teaching Award winner, Scott Sernau, offered courses that gave students • the opportunity to study overseas and to use their sociological imagination through service- learning activities in the local community. Furthermore, all of the full-time faculty members were active in promoting student research. Faculty members chaired eleven thesis committees • and were members of five other thesis committees. We were clearly leaders in the area of undergraduate research. Faculty members served as research mentors to 29 undergraduates and supported undergraduate research through our service activities. Our students received SMART • grants, presented at undergraduate conferences, presented at regional conferences, and conducted field work overseas. Two of our students were also accepted into the American Sociological Association's Honors Program. Another way we engaged students outside of the classroom was • through our internship course. Students gained sociological insights, practical experience, and in some cases jobs through their internships. Our other contributions to the teaching profession included teaching-related workshops, panels, and publications. Four of our faculty members also • held teaching-related leadership positions in professional organizations.
The Department of Sociology & Anthropology also made significant contributions in the area of service. Our commitments included important and time-consuming university committees, such • as promotion, tenure, and review (senate and college); curriculum; search and screen; university teaching awards; and internal review board. Members of our department also held leadership positions that positively affected campus life, such as co-chair of the campus' self study. One of • our faculty members, Becky Torstrick, also won the college's advising award for her outstanding contributions to advising in our department and the college. Several members of our department also contributed to the local community through media appearances, educational workshops, and • service to local organizations. Johnnie Griffin won the Education Award from Urban League of South Bend and St. Joseph County for her community work. • Members of our department also remained very involved in scholarly activity. We published three journal articles and made six presentations at professional meetings. F acuity members also • CLAS 2007 College Annual Report 106 SOCIOLOGY & ANTHROPOLOGY • • .- 1111 delivered nine invited presentations at places such as the Thomas M. Cooley Law School and Stanford Law School. One faculty member secured an external grant and two faculty members II obtained internal grants. Two of our faculty members also held editorial positions. Finally, our faculty remained very active in reviewing grants and manuscripts.

WORLD LANGUAGE STUDIES • Lesley Walker, Chair • Chair's Remarks • i In fall 2007, we welcomed two new members to our department: Anna Gabriela Ramis and Cati Hebert who both teach Spanish. Professor Ramis came to South Bend from the University of • Washington in Seattle where she is pursuing a Ph.D. in theater while teaching full-time for us. Professor Hebert completed her Master's Degree in Spanish at the University of Western Michigan in the spring and moved to South Bend last summer. They have so far contributed • positive energy and great enthusiasm to our departmental endeavors.
For our continuing faculty, 2007 was an especially good year for Oscar Barrau who assembled his tenure file last summer and sailed through the various stages of review during the fall. He • also published "Against Study Abroad: US Mexican Immersion," which was selected as one of the best articles to appear in Academic Exchange Quarterly in 2007. In this innovative and somewhat counter-intuitive essay, Professor Barrau makes a case for language immersion in our • own backyard, so to speak. He based the article on his own experience with a course he designed three summers ago that simulates an immersion environment here in South Bend. Professor Barrau also presented his research on cartography at the Latin American Studies Association • Conference in Montreal last September. John Davis continues his excellent work with our summer aboard program in Cuemavaca, • Mexico. Last summer, he accompanied 18 IU South Bend students as Resident Director to Mexico. The department is indebted to these efforts by Professor Davis because so many students return from Mexico as new Spanish majors! In the department, we have known for a • long time that Professor Davis is an exceptional teacher. We were thus extremely pleased to see his accomplishment recognized by a Trustees' Teaching Award. Professor Davis is also a leader among his peers: he serves on several campus committees and, importantly, chaired the CLAS • Reappointment and Promotion of Lecturers Committee in 2007. Professor Tammy Morgan remains our Oncourse guru. Along with Dr. Dave Vollrath, Professor • Morgan has been instrumental in assisting faculty as they learn to navigate the ever-new-and- improved Oncourse software package. In addition to serving as an Oncourse mentor to individual faculty members, she also conducted UCET sponsored workshops on the use of Oncourse in the • classroom. In keeping with her commitment to faculty development, Professor Morgan served as one of the organizers for the 2007 summer FACET retreat in Indianapolis. She also leads the Spanish ACP seminar for teachers in the summer. • With the assistance of a Faculty Research Grant, Julio Hernando made significant progress on his book project last year. He gave three research presentations related to this work; one was at the international Congress on Medieval Studies. Y oshiko Green continues her indefatigable • efforts at promoting all things Japanese on our campus. The enrollments, thanks to her labors, • CLAS 2007 College Annual Report 116 WORLD LANGUAGE STUDIES • • -- Ill remain high while students clamor for a new minor. We hope soon to have a minor in East Asian Studies. Cheri Brown likewise continues her efforts to promote German language and culture in Ill our department. She was also very active last year on the Campus-wide assessment committee. As for me, I undertook two significant organizing tasks last year: along with my colleague, Dr. Ill Julia Douthwaite at the University of Notre Dame, we completed most of the organizational work on a conference, "New Paradigms in Revolutionary Studies," which will take place in October 2008 on the IU South Bend and Notre Dame campuses; I was also the primary organizer Ill of the All-IU Women's and Gender Studies Undergraduate Conference held at IU South Bend March 2008. Our conference on the French Revolution is part of collaborative project undertaken with Professor Huguette K.rief, who teaches at the Universite de Provence. In October 2007, I Ill gave a paper, "Ecrire l'histoire au feminin: Le Roman historique chez Mme de Genlis," at a conference (or journees d'etudes) that she and her colleague, Jean-Noel Pascal, organized on the theme of debate and discourse during the French Revolution. From the work produced at these Ill two conferences, we intend to produce a collection of essays on new directions in Revolutionary Studies.

I Chair's Remarks
Women's Studies program entered a transition period in 2007, as Rebecca Torstrick completed I her term as Director and Lesley Walker took over as Interim Director for the fall semester. The program completed its program review and began some of the suggestions for improvement made by the outside evaluator. The department added two new adjunct instructors, one of whom I offered the introductory Gender Studies course at the new Elkhart Center, where it was well- received. New course offerings on Women and Spirituality and Lesbian and Bisexual Identities were developed. Students involved in the Women's Studies program were active this year in the I newly renamed Feminist Student Union, in the campus production of The Vagina Monologues which raised over $8000 to donate to the YWCA and SOS, and in the production of the student journal, New Views on Gender. Almost half of our majors made the Dean's List in the spring I semester.
The year again witnessed Women's Studies-sponsored events on campus. In January 2007, poet I and novelist Professor Mohja Kahf visited classes and gave a public lecture on "Burqas, Bras, and Battlezones: The Varied Tales of the Veil" to an audience of 180. In February, we collaborated with the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and the Jewish Federation of St. Joseph II County to screen the film Divan by filmmaker Pearl Gluck. The third Gloria Kaufman Memorial lecture, "The Origins of the Reproductive Rights Movement, 1798-1965: An Ongoing Project" by University of Notre Dame's Dr. Gail Bederman was held in March. Also in March, we II sponsored and led public discussions on women and leadership, women and education, and Soviet Women artists. Ill Spring also featured the WOST Public Forum discussions by Governing Board members speaking about teaching, including talks on teaching film and using primary sources in the classroom. Our fall Public Forum discussions addressed the topic of Academic Balance, with governing board and other CLAS faculty holding brown-bag sessions on the proper balance II between research and service, and combining teaching and service projects.
Women's Studies also continued its tradition of supporting and honoring students through II awarding the Women's Studies Research and Creative Essay awards, recognizing student service at the annual YWCA Tribute to Women luncheon, and with the Women's Studies Excellence Award. In April, eight IU South Bend students presented work at the IU Undergraduate Research II Conference in Women's Studies at IPFW. The program also worked with the local chapter of AAUW to offer a college life workshop for 20 young high school women interested in going to I college.
