PUBLISHING AND CREATIVE WORK
Kim E. Nielsen (Disability Studies Program) published an edited volume of Helen Keller’s own words entitled, "Autobiographies and Other Writings" (New York: Library of American, 2024). The collection is being reviewed in the Times Literary Supplement this Sunday, Mar. 17.
Monita Mungo (Department of Sociology and Anthropology) is one of four contributing authors of "SOC 2024," published by McGraw Hill. The goal of "SOC 2024" is to inform, challenge, and empower students as they become intellectual thinkers and active agents of social change. This text facilitates the thought process by asking students to constantly apply what they know about the real world.
David Lacy, a Ph.D. candidate in History, presented his research, “Using the Master’s Tools to Dismantle His House: Black Legal Culture During Slavery in Antebellum Virginia,” at the 32nd National Association of African American Studies Annual Conference, University of Texas at Austin, February 2024.
Shahna Arps (Department of Sociology and Anthropology) published an article with three students (K.M. Noviski, L. Tucker and A. Tutwiler) in Advances in Health Sciences Education, (Spring, 2024). The article, entitled “Medical Students Motivations for Participating in an Elective Focused on Social Inequities and Health Disparities," examines student reasons for pursuing elective training focused on medical racism and system health inequities.
Melinda Reichelt (Department of English Language and Literature) published a chapter in "Nonnative English-Speaking Teachers of U.S. College Composition: Exploring Identities and Negotiating Difference," The WAC Clearinghouse; University Press of Colorado, 2024.

"Sister Eileen and Her Boyz, an HIV in the Rust Belt Story," a film by Holly Hey (Department of Theatre and Film) and Ally Day (Disability Studies Program) has been picked up for distribution by public television. Distribution began March 9. The film is available to PBS stations across the country, in parts of Canada, and throughout Puerto Rico. The Toledo Public Television affiliate, WGTE, will air it in June.
A poem by Barbara Miner (Department of Art), "My Body" is in the March edition of the Anacapa Review (AnacapaReview.com). Two of her paintings, "Russian Olive" and "closed bottle gentian-blue" were included in the nationally juried exhibition, "Pattern and Abstraction" currently online at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society. Since only 94 works total were accepted into the show, it is significant that two of Miner's works were selected.
