Fall 2012 Newsletter * Volume 15, Issue 2

In this issue of the CHPA Newsletter, you will quickly pick up a theme: How we do Public Affairs. Not, of course, that this is a new phenomenon. We have always been heavily involved with Public Affairs, even before it became the Uni-versity mission. But now we are doing a better job of telling our story and mak-ing it clear that Public Affairs is indeed important in our classrooms, our study away programs, our internships, and our efforts to partner with the community to make Springfield and the surrounding region an even better place to live.

One of things that go along with the publication schedule of the CHPA News-letter is that it is finalized as the leaves are falling and we begin to see a shift in the temperature that suggests another season has begun and another cycle in the aca-demic year is coming to an end. With that in mind and as we rush into the fall holiday season, with its many events and celebrations, I look back and am astonished at how busy faculty, students, and staff in the College of Humanities and Public Affairs have been over the past summer and fall. Everything from new publications to amazing experience overseas to community based research that will help to better identify how the University and our students can be more aware of needs and possibilities for the future. Of course, you will also find here awards and celebrations, the introduction of new faculty, transitions as faculty retire, and the many achievements of our alumni.

I hope that you will take the time to look through the stories included here and send us your com-ments, and if you are alumnus, please share your story with us as well. We are particularly interested in including articles in future issues that will feature how your education at Missouri State University prepared you for your subsequent graduate work, your profession, or life in general. Tell us which faculty had a defining impact on you and tell us what else you would like us to include in the Newsletter.

Happy Holidays and please stay in touch!

Jacob Singleton (at right), a Missouri State University graduate student pursuing a Master of Arts in European history, was recently awarded a U.S. Student Fulbright award to Germany for 2012-2013. While there, he will participate in an English teaching assistantship in Sachsen-Anhalt. The Fulbright Scholar program was designed to immerse individuals into the cultures they are studying and allow for individualized research projects. “Ultimately, it is my goal to serve as a cultural ambassador within the community that I will be living and working in,” said Mr. Singleton, who holds a bachelor’s degree in German and a bachelor’s in History Education. “History, particularly German history, has interested me since child-hood and the ability to study the German language while a student not only made historical inquiry a possibility, but was also an immense joy in itself,” said Mr. Singleton. “I chose to pursue education because it best suited my passion for working with and helping people.” Eligible students endure a rigorous year-long application process with final selection by a presidentially-appointed Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. For more information, contact Mr. Singleton at [email protected].

Follow Your Passion, Find Your Place: Tomminesha in Finland

History StudentSelected for Prestigious

Fulbright Award

Tomminesha Matchingtouch (at right), is a senior, double majoring in Criminology and Psychology. When she is not in class or assisting Criminology faculty with research, Tomminesha follows many other passions. From serving as a Residence Hall Programming Assistant in a Living Learning Community to being a tutor in the TRIO Upward Bound Program to completing service work in Haiti, Tomminesha exemplifies the university’s mission in Public Affairs. In Fall 2011, Tomminesha also took the initiative to study abroad in Turku, Finland as an ISEP exchange student at Abo Akademi University: “Studying abroad in Finland was definitely valuable. It truly tested my independence and study skills. Class struc-ture and what is expected of the students, are what I found to be the major differences between MSU and Abo Aka-demi University. Most of the courses I took were 3-4 weeks in length. Within that period, there were textbooks and journal/research articles to read for the exams. There were no quizzes, class assignments, or study guides to prepare for the one and only grade given for the course, the exam. Continued on next page...


Cultural CompetenceAt first, it was a bit overwhelming, because I was not used to doing so much in a month’s time, but I quickly adjusted to balancing social activi-ties and succeeding in my courses. The professors completely left the students responsible for scheduling time to meet with them for help and reading to be prepared for the exam. I came to appreciate this method of educating, because it forced me to put more effort towards my studies to do well on the exams and I was amazed at how well I recalled the infor-mation for exams.” Upon her return to Missouri State University, Tomminesha was chosen as one of five outstanding students to serve as Global Ambassadors for Study Away Programs. Her main responsibilities as a Global Ambassa-dor include advising MSU students who are interested in studying away, “Working in the Study Away Office has been an amazing experience. Every day is an opportunity to share memories from abroad and encour-age students to create their own study away experience.” Currently, Tomminesha is a student in the Accelerated Master’s Pro-gram in Criminology and is collaborating with Dr. Patrick Gartin to co-lead a class of Criminology students to London next spring. After graduation, Tomminesha aspires to work with at-risk teens and juvenile delinquents within the juvenile justice system.

Sean A.Wempe (BA in History, and BA in German, MSU, 2009) is currently a Doctoral Candidate at Emory Univer-sity in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Wempe (at left, by the Reich-stag Building in Berlin, Germany), won the Emory History Department’s McLean Prize for Best First Year Graduate Per-formance in Fall 2010, the DAAD Summer Course Grant to Humboldt University in Summer 2010, and the Emory His-tory Department’s Benjamin Prize for Best Article-Length Work by a Graduate Student in Fall 2011.

He was recently awarded a DAAD Research Grant for 2012-2013 to conduct archival fieldwork for his disserta-tion, Lost at Locarno? Colonial Germans and the Redefinition of “Imperial” Germany, 1919-1933. In his work, he will explore how German settlers, missionaries, and colonial officials from the former colonies of German East Africa and German Southwest Africa tried to recover, renovate, and market their understandings of German and European imperialism during the period surrounding the Locarno Treaties of 1925. He will analyze the various ways in which these “Colonial Germans” coped with the loss of the German colonies after the Treaty of Versailles and will place particular emphasis on their use of the League of Nations bureaucratic agencies and participation in international discourses on nationalism and imperialism. By examining Colonial German involvement in organizations such as the Permanent Mandates Commission and events like the Locarno Conference and the Manchurian Crisis, he will study how missionaries, settlers and officials from the former African colonies exploited these transnational opportunities to create new niches for themselves as “experts” and “fellow civilizers” in European imperial projects within the Mandate System.

Community EngagementSociology Students

Engage inCommunity Research

Three of Dr. Tim Knapp’s Sociology students, D. C. Wright, Jamie Willis, and Leah Woods, reached out to the Springfield community to do research with local non-profit organizations and concluded their activities with writing or co-authoring reports. D. C. Wright (at right), worked with Dr. Karen Scott, Execu-tive Director, Gretchen Gambon, Assistant Director, and Elizabeth Viele, Education Specialist with the Lost & Found Grief Counseling Center of Springfield. D. C. coauthored a 40-page report summa-rizing the results of a telephone survey of past Lost & Found clients. The report was presented to the Board of Directors of L & F, and it will be used to fine tune services and programs provided by L & F and also used in future grant applications. D. C. had this to say about his experiences in community-engaged scholarship: “Working as a research assistant was truly one of the most rewarding learning experiences I have been honored to have while pursuing my under-graduate studies at Missouri State. Conducting research on local social problems and possible solutions, as well as analyzing survey data and compiling results for a local non-profit that helps children and families in the Ozarks, showed me how public sociology connects the ideals of the discipline to real-world ap-plication in the local community. Being an R.A. is really living out the mission statement of our university – building cultural competence by studying the local community, being engaged with local civic leaders and agencies to improve the quality of life for all, and enhancing those skills that promote ethical leadership in global society. This position

helped my academic studies come full-circle by being able to integrate concepts and preparation from the classroom into an employment setting that further developed my analytical, research, and writing skills.” Jamie Willis (at left), shared her time and expertise with MSU Sociol-ogy/Criminology alumni Loni Brewer, Program Supervisor, and Erin Washburn, Street Outreach Specialist, at the Rare Breed Youth Services offices. Jamie co-authored a 50-page report that summarizes findings from the 2012 High-Risk and Homeless Youth Survey. That survey compiled information from over 500 Springfield area youths. The report will be presented in November to the Youth Subcommittee of the Springfield Homeless Task Force. “Working on the HRHY report has given me the to opportunity to gain further experience in social research and methodology, while allowing me to make a contribution to my community. Not only did I gain valuable contacts with other individuals involved in the process, I also was able to participate in a project that I feel is important for our community to address from a sociological perspective.”

Community Engagement Leah Woods (at left), worked alongside Janet Dankert, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks. Leah co-authored a 30-page assessment report of the Neighbor for Neighbor program that brought citizens from two Springfield neighborhoods together in discussion and action teams to promote civic engage-ment in Springfield. Here is how Leah summarized her experiences: “This research experience was an excellent and invaluable opportunity to apply and further develop the skills I had learned in class to a real-world situation. While making a positive contribution to the community,

I was able to become much more intimately acquainted with the research process, as well as cultivating the critical thinking skills that will be necessary for success in graduate school.”

Students from Sociology Instructor Mr. Lyle Foster’s Community Issues class (Soc 397) took a walking tour of Commercial Street and learned about the history of the area and some of the challenges that it has faced and recent efforts of redevelopment. The

class also heard a presentation from Donnie Rodgers of the Urban Districts Alliance who spoke about the recent develop-ment in the area and the mix of residents, businesses, and social services agencies. The second presentation took place at the Commercial Club offices on Commercial Street, one of the oldest social organizations in the city.

In October 2012, the officers of Sigma Mu Sigma, the Missouri State University Chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma, the National Criminal Justice Honor Society, conducted a fundraiser for the Family Violence Shel-

ter in Springfield. The officers sold artificial flowers in Strong’s atrium for a week. These flowers were placed in a display case along with information about domestic violence to increase aware-ness of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In total, the officers, and their advisor, Ms. Ivy Yarckow-Brown (at right), were able to collect $240. These funds will be utilized to paint, clean, and remodel their adopted room at Harmony House – The Family Violence Center.

Community Engagement

The Departments of Anthropology, History, and Religious Studies collaborated with Springfield area organizations to host the first Southwest Missouri Homeschool History Fair over the fall break, 18-19 October, and organized by Reli-gious Studies M.A. student, Michael Bohlen. The Southwest Missouri Homeschool History Fair represents a collaborative effort among area homeschoolers, the Greene County Historical Society, the Missouri State University Religious Studies Club, and the Missouri Humani-ties Council with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, to provide children with a first-class opportunity to demonstrate some of the exciting discoveries they are making in the field of history. The fair aspires to help make the study of the past an enjoyable endeavor, while introducing key concepts necessary for historical research.

Modeled after the National History Day (NHD) competition, organizers envision the SWMO Homeschool History Fair as a lower-stakes affair as they allow younger students to participate in the event. Many area history experts presented talks, demonstrations, and displays to engage stu-dents and parents and to ignite a life-long love of history.

Ethical Leadership Congratulations to Bin Xia (at left), an international student from China, who is in MSU Political Science Department’s Master of Global Studies program, for receiving an internship in Congressman Billy Long’s office! Bin describes his experience and goals here: “I earned a bachelor degree of international relations at University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point. My advisor recommended me to have an internship in Congressman Billy Long’s office. I did an interview as well as presented a resume and a personal state to office last semester. The staff working in Congressman Long’s office selected me to intern after carefully reviewing all materials I submitted. All businesses I deal with everyday are relevant to Billy Long’s campaign since this year is an election year. The internship is one semester. I would love to work for international organizations, multinational enterprises, or think tanks in the near future.”

Missouri State Uni-versity’s female Bear Battalion, a team from the military science department, fought for and won top honors at this year’s Task Force level Ranger Challenge Oct. 20 at Fort Leon-ard Wood. This is the

second consecutive year the female team won first place in the competition, leading them to compete in the Brigade level competition at Camp Dodge, Iowa, on Nov. 2-4. The male Bear Battalion team placed third out of nine teams at the Ranger Challenge. The male and female teams (pictured above), competed in events including a 10K road march with 35 pounds on their back, weapon disassembly and assembly, day and night land navigation, obstacle course, ca-sualty evacuation course carrying a 250 pound mannequin over varied terrain, marksmanship range, one-rope bridge, and hand grenade assault course. The teams also had to endure the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), consisting of a two mile run, push-ups and sit-ups. “Seven universities participated in the competition, and all came with the desire to win it all,” said Troy Wisdom, head of the military science department. “Missouri State always puts a strong team together and consistently places in the top three. The MSU ladies team is the defending champion for the Best in Brigade competition in November, and the team is excited to be attending again to defend their title.”

MSU ROTC Ranger Challenge Team Brings Home Victory


Ethical Leadership

The Bear Battalion celebrated 60 years of developing tomorrow’s leaders the weekend of September 20-22nd. 1,805 officers have been commissioned into the US Army from our Battalion with many of our alumni becoming civic and business leaders.

We appreciate all who made the journey to celebrate this great event. We inducted three great warriors into the Hall of Fame: LTC (R) Robert Payne (class of ’55), LTC (R) Stanton Curbow (class of ’63), and Bill Perry (class of ’84). All have made a sig-nificant contribution to the unit and this country. I proudly salute them and wish them all the best of luck. The celebration began on 20 September with a reception at the Univer-sity Plaza Hotel Atrium for graduates, which was attended by several former and retired officers, which included three from the very first class (’55). On 21 September, there was a golf tournament at Green Hills Country Club and a dinner at St. Michael’s Sports Bar and Grill. On 22 September, MSU had Military Recognition Day, with the Bear Battalion hold-ing a “tailgate party” at Bearfest Village.

CHPA Faculty Accomplishments!

Five former Missouri State faculty and staff, including Dr. James Giglio, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History, were honored during the 2012 Wall of Fame induction ceremony in recognition of their work for the University. The 2012 class of inductees were honored during a special ceremony held on 26 October as part of Homecoming festivities. The 2012 Wall of Fame Class includes Dr. James Giglio (1968-2006), Dr. Richard Myers (Biology), Dr. James O’Brien (Chemistry), Dr. Bruno Schmidt (Physics/Vice President of Academic Affairs), and Carol Silvey (His-tory/Director of Development on the West Plains campus). As a world-renowned history scholar and critically acclaimed author, Dr. James Giglio made an impact on the world with his scholarly activities and published works. At the same time he was receiving these accolades, he was serving as an esteemed and respected teacher and adviser to many students at Missouri State University. He was selected by his peers for two consecutive terms as a University Distinguished Scholar and consistently worked to improve the standards of history education. He founded the High School History Bowl and the Mid-America Conference on History, proposed the honor-ary doctorate issued by Missouri State, served on committees for advanced placement exams, was appointed by John Ashcroft to the State Historical Records Board and the Task Force of Missouri Historical Records Advisory Board, and committed countless hours to more than 70 departmental, college or campus committees – including chairing Faculty Senate – during his 38 years on campus. In addition to these accomplishments, he was inducted into the Missouri Writers Hall of Fame and included in Who’s Who in America, among many other notable achievements. One nominator summed it up: “Too often our universities are home to the renowned scholar, the superb teacher or the diligent servant to campus and professional life. Rarely does one encounter an individual who deservedly merits all three labels. Such is the case with Dr. Giglio.”

This has been a good year for external grants for History’s Bethany Walker (at left). She is one of seven researchers from four countries behind the inter-disciplinary project Local Dynamics of Globalization, which was recently selected by the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters to be hosted at the academy’s Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) in Oslo during the year 2014-15. The Centre for Advanced Study is a research institution where outstanding researchers from Norway and abroad are invited to spend time and

work, freed from all duties other than pure research and giving them the time for creative and collaborative writing. The project, under the coordination of Professor Terje Stordalen, at the University of Oslo, and the co-direction of Sten LaBianca of Andrews University (Michigan), aims at achieving a better understanding of the interaction between local and globalizing discourses as they played out in the pre-modern world. The researchers in LDG will explore ques-tions related to global processes as they emerge from six different empirical contexts, ranging chronologically from the Biblical through medieval Islamic periods, ultimately formulating theoretical models for studying the local dynamics of globalization in pre-modern societies. Walker’s contribution to the project will be an investigation of migration as a counter strategy to imperial globalizing projects in the pre-modern Eastern Mediterranean, completing work she has begun on a German grant in Bonn this year. This will result in a monograph on late medieval migration, as well as, ultimately, two final reports on the Tall Hisban excavations (one co-authored) in monograph form. This is Walker’s second major grant from the Norwegian government for collaborative research, having been a mem-ber of the Global Moments in the Levant project in Bergen. This latter project ran for four years between 2005 and 2008 and was funded by the Norwegian Research Council (http://www.globalmoments.uib.no).For more information on the LDG, see: http://www.stordalen.info/LDG/Home.html

Last spring Prof. Béla Bodó (at right in front of Pop-pelsdorf Castle), of the History Department, did a inten-sive lecture tour in Europe. On March 30, Prof. Bodó was invited to the University of Trondheim in Norway to lecture on his research for doctoral students and fac-ulty there. The topic of his presentation was “Red Terror and White Terror Compared: Paramilitary Violence in Hungary, 1919-1921”. The University of Trondheim, which is one of the leading research institutions in Eu-rope, has an outstanding East Central European Center and has published important studies on Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Romanian culture, as well as on political and social history.

Anthropology Professor Elected AAA Secretary

This summer Dr. Margaret Buckner (at right, on the right), Professor of Anthropology, was elected Secretary of the Ameri-can Anthropological Association, for a three-year term. Founded in 1902, the AAA is the preeminent organization in American anthropology and, with over 11,000 members, the largest anthro-pological association in the world. She is one of only four officers of the organization. Her main duty is to head the nominations committee and oversee all elections for the association and its 39 constituent sections. Dr. Buckner concluded her second term as President of the Central States Anthropological Society in April, receiving a citation for “unprecedented, extraordinary and meritorious service” over a number of years, including conference organizer on at least two occasions and webmaster. CSAS is the oldest section of the AAA, having been founded in 1921. For more information on the AAA, go to http://aaanet.org/.

Lora Hobbs (at left), Senior Instructor in the Department of Religious Studies, received a $4000 Public Affairs Grant to support the upcoming Meals-a-Million event, November 9 – 11. Meals-A-Million is an event that unites Friends Against Hunger, MSU, OTC, Drury, SBU and the surrounding community to fight hunger. During the three-day event at the Springfield Exposition Center, organizers planned to pack over 1 million meals that were specially formulated to provide a high protein, fortified, well balanced, vegetarian meal that

will nourish even severely malnourished people back to good health. The packaged meals will be distributed both locally through food pantries in Springfield and Joplin, as well as globally through on-the-ground organizations in Haiti, Mexico and El Salvador. The Springfield Expo Center has graciously donated the space for the event; howev-er, funding was needed for all other Expo Center costs incurred throughout the event. Lora’s $4000 will be used to cover those additional costs so that all the money Friends Against Hunger raises for the event can go directly to the purchase of meal ingredients and the costs of shipping the packaged meals.

History Professor Dr. Bob Miller Retires Dr. Worth Robert Miller (at right), was recognized upon retiring last May by the University for his many years of service. Bob Miller joined the History Department in August of 1987. He received his Ph.D from the University of Oklahoma and taught at Texas A & M University and East Texas University before coming to MSU. Throughout his career, Dr. Miller sought to better understand the populist move-ment, publishing a number of key works on that movement. His most recent work on populist cartoons was published in 2011. Dr. Miller offered a number of popular and challenging courses at MSU in Southern History, nineteenth century American and the Gilded and Progressive eras. Dr. Miller also helped found the Mid-America Conference in History. This conference, which rotates between Uni-versities in Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas, has afforded a number of opportunities for MSU students to present their research. This year’s conference, held in Springfield, featured speakers from all over the country discussing topics that ranged from the Kennedy assassination, the Arab Spring and the role of religion in the Civil War. (See related story on page 24 of this issue.)

Adapted from the Missouri State News Monday, 15 October 2012:

Dr. Elizabeth Sobel (below, left), Associate Professor of Anthropology at Missouri State University, received a grant of $5,100 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the “Archaeological Project Collaboration between Mark Twain National Forest and Missouri State University.” The project’s goal is to complete archaeological field work and to fully document the Benge Route of the Trail of Tears in the Poplar Bluff District of the Mark Twain National Forest. The resulting documentation will be used by the USDA to better preserve and interpret the trail and also be used by the

Missouri State Historic Preservation Office to nominate the trail segment to the National Register of Historic Places. “The benefit to MSU is that anthropology students and recent graduates gain professional experience in archaeology and cultural resource management,” said Sobel. “The benefit to the Mark Twain National Forest is the documentation of an archaeological site in accor-dance with section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act.” For more information, contact Dr. Sobel at (417) 836-5145.

Criminology & Criminal Justice News

Criminology faculty members Dr. Craig Hemmens (CRM Department Head), Dr. Mary Stohr, Dr. Brett Garland, Dr. Aida Hass, and Ms Diane Leamy traveled to Jefferson City in Sep-tember to meet with members of the Missouri Department of Corrections to discuss oppor-tunities to conduct research with/for them on

the various programs, initiatives, and components within corrections. The faculty members have been developing a strong relationship with them, as well as several agencies locally and statewide, in order to enhance the depart-ment’s ability to serve the community in a positive way and further the College’s public affairs goal. The trip also included a tour of the old penitentiary that closed down

several years ago, and the newer Jefferson City Correctional Center (they weren’t allowed to take pictures in the new center!). While there, Dr. Garland tried out an old gas chamber for size (above).

The Department of Criminology and Criminal Jus-tice, along with the College of Humanities and Public Affairs, will present a CHPA Research Forum on 27 November with Jamie Pamela Rasmussen (CCJ) from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in Strong 350. When asked how the Missouri State Penitentiary compared to other famous prisons, a historian and former prison administrator replied, “It’s older and meaner.” For 168 years, it was everything other prisons were and more. Ms Rasmussen will be presenting information based on her new book, The Missouri State Penitentiary: 170 Years inside the Walls, and will use tales of prominent prisoners, including Pretty Boy Floyd, Sonny Liston, and James Earl Ray, to provide intrigue and insight into the institution’s infamous reputation. It is a fitting account of an institution that was part of Missouri’s history for well over a century. For more information, contact the Criminology Department at (417) 836-3799.

Economics News

At the end of the Spring 2012 semester the Economics Department held its usual reception for scholarship winners at the ReRico Brazilian Grill. However, in contrast to past years, on this occasion the Department also invited graduat-ing seniors and their parents to attend. This proved to be a successful and popular move, and the Department intends to continue with this policy in the future. This year the Depart-ment was able to award seven scholarships for majors and two

for minors. The Economics majors receiving awards were Jacob Coleman, Brett Foster, Skyler Gamm, Janessa Mitchell, Michael Rieger, Joseph Wan-

dersee and Melanie Wilke. The winners of the scholarships for Economic minors were Zachary Schmitz and Gina Whitmer. The Department was able to augment many of the awards by making use of donors’ generous contributions to the department’s General Scholarship Fund. (A BIG thank you to all our donors!) Congratulations to the scholarship winners and our new graduates!

The Economics Department welcomes its newest instructor, John Stuart Rabon (at right), to the department faculty. John is an ABD in Economics from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. We were fortunate to be able to hire John at short notice to replace a sudden resignation by one of our colleagues. John will be teaching classes in Principles of Microeconomics, Principles of Macroeconomics, Intermediate Microeconomics and Inter-mediate Econometrics.

The Department of Economics, in association with the Magellan Exchange Program, hosted Professor Dr. Marcus Fredebeul-Krein from the University of Applied Sciences in Aachen, Germany, from Sept 15th through the 27th. The Magellan program offers faculty members the opportunity for short-term professional development and research collabora-tion experiences through its faculty exchange program. Dr. Fredebeul-Krein said he selected the Economics depart-ment at Missouri State University because he was impressed by the achievement and accomplishments of the Economics faculty. While at MSU, Dr. Fredebeul-Krein made formal and informal presentations to a number of classes, both in

the Economics Department (ECO 320 American Economic History, ECO 305 Money and Banking ECO 346 Interna-tional Economic Development) and in a variety of other departments as well (MKT 474 International Marketing, GER 312 German Composition, UHC 110 Freshman Honors Seminar, GBL 250 Introduction to Global Studies, PLS 232 International Relations). He also presented an overview of his research on regulatory management in network industries to the Economics faculty, and met informally with students from the Economics Club. The highlight of his visit was a standing-room-only public lecture on “European Monetary Union and the Euro Crisis,” presented on the evening of September 19th and attended by faculty, students, and members of the community. Several people from the university community and the larger Springfield community also invited Dr. Fredebeul-Krein to different gatherings and social events. The economics department believes this was a productive two weeks for Dr. Fredebeul-Krein and a satisfactory and enriching experience for the Economics Department.

The Economics Department hosted their 2nd Annual Forecasting Luncheon in July with Craig Hakkio, Special Advisor on Eco-nomic Policy at the Federal reserve Bank of Kansas City. An estimated 120-130 people were registered for the event, an increase from last year’s count of 80-85 attendees. The event offers the department an opportunity to inform the participants of the department’s upcoming topics. Many thanks to Dr. David Mitchell (Associate Professor, ECON) for help organizing the event and to the supporters of MSU’s Economics Department that attended!

Twenty Missouri State undergraduate and graduate stu-dents, their children, and a handful of international environ-mental scientists, ethnographers, and archaeolo-gists from Europe, the Middle East, and North America joined Bethany Walker in May and June for a three-week archaeological survey in Jordan. As part of MSU’s Jordan Archaeology Study Away program, this field school constituted the fourth season of the Northern Jordan Project (known by acronym “NJP”), an archaeological and envi-ronmental project in the northern hill country of Jordan that is directed by Walker. The Jordan field school, for its second year at Missouri State, was again one of the largest study away programs sponsored by the university this year. The goal of the NJP is to better understand shifts of human settlement, particularly during the later Islamic periods, against the backdrop of changes in land use and climate. The survey this season focused on the upper stretch of the Wadi Shellaleh, Jordan’s “Grand Can-yon”, framed by the villages of al-Shajrah and Kharjah. This is a region with some of the most breathtaking landscapes of the Middle East. For five days a week the students and staff hiked rugged country, identifying and recording sites and the components of sites. They rotated among three different research groups each day in the field, gaining experi-

ence in traditional archaeological survey and mapping, ethnography (joining our Jordanian staff in the nearby villages), and environmental science (visiting rock and soil exposures and taking samples with our environmental team, and also learning to analyze aerial photos and satellite imagery). Afternoons were devoted to pottery washing and

reading, which took an aver-age of two hours daily, and many evenings to lectures by staff. On weekends, the team toured sites through-out the country; many students stayed in Jordan after the program ended to visit Petra and travel to Jerusalem.

History News This was one of the most successful seasons to date for the NJP, as we recorded three new archaeological sites (a vast and previously undocumented Roman cem-

etery, an ancient agricultural tower, and a village of the Mamluk period unknown from textual sources), documented a drastic shift of settlement regionally to the East in the Middle Islamic period, saw the fruits of our efforts in combining different strains of environmental analysis, and tried out new and innovative technologies successfully (data record-ing with tablets, the on-going development of our new multi-media project database, and new methods of soil and map analysis). And the NJP continues to grow with each year: students and staff from the Archaeological Institute of the University of Vienna will join the project for its next field season, tentatively planned for spring/summer 2014. For more information about and pictures from this summer’s field school, see the project blog at: http:// blogs.mis-souristate.edu/historicalarchaeology/. Work continues at home in the Jordan Archaeology Lab in Strong Hall, with processing of artifacts, drawing, and report-writing. Our students will continue working on this season’s material at MSU in this manner, preparing it for publication. The Jordan Archaeology Field School will be back in session next summer, with a three-week, large-scale excavation at Tall Hisban, running May 16-June 10, 2012. A very large project is planned this year and will include, in addition to MSU students, those from the University of Missouri, Andrews University in Michigan, the University of Oslo (Nor-way), and the University of Bonn (Germany - which will be our largest partner). We will be excavating in the medieval village below the Citadel this year. For more information about Tall Hisban, see the project website at: http://clio.mis-souristate.edu/bwalker/tallhisban.html. To get involved in the archaeology lab or to join the excavations at Tall Hisban next May, e-mail Prof. Walker directly at: [email protected]. The application deadline for next spring’s Hisban excavation is January 15, 2012.

Bethany Walker (at right) of the History Department is on leave this calendar year at the University of Bonn’s new Mamluk Studies research institute, generously funded by the German Research Foundation. The multi-lingual, international Annemarie Schimmel Kolleg (at lower right), named after the late German scholar of medieval Sufism, consists of a comprehensive library devoted to Mamluk history (the only one of its kind) and apartments and offices for invited Fellows. While at the Kolleg, Walker has attended weekly seminars and colloquia, presenting her own research at regular intervals, and contributied to collaborative writing projects with other scholars. She has also been invited to speak at other universities and to present her work at confer-ences throughout Europe, having recently spoken in Warsaw (at the International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East – Europe’s main forum for archaeological research), Copenhagen (a workshop on the archaeology of rural Islam, sponsored by the Materiality on Islam Research Initiative, University of Copenhagen), and Ghent (the Pirenne Institute of Medieval Studies, University of Ghent). Her project on human migration in late medieval Syria pulls on her recent archaeological fieldwork, as well as the medieval Arabic manuscripts that she has been studying in German archives. The project evaluates the ebbs and flows of movement in the rural countryside that gained momentum with the collapse of the Mamluk state, and the ways these population movements transformed Levantine society in the Early Modern period.

MSU History Instructor Jeremy Neely’s book, The Border between Them: Violence and Reconciliation on the Kansas-Missouri Line, which was published by the University of Missouri Press in 2007, frames the border war between Missourians and Kansans against the larger back-drop of nineteenth-century American history. The book, which won the Kansas State Historical Society’s Edward Tihen Award, represents a convergence of personal and academic inter-ests for its author. “I actually came to the border war as a basketball fan before I consid-ered it as an historian,” says Neely (at far right). “Much of the popular understanding of that civil war has been filtered through the modern athletic rivalry between the Missouri Tigers and Kansas Jayhawks. I wanted to evaluate what that bitter and divisive experience meant to the people who actually lived through it. How did these neighbors go about their lives after waging a vicious guerrilla war against each other for nearly a decade?” The postwar period, Neely found, witnessed a slow and uneven reconciliation between old foes, who eventually found common ground through market development and memorial rituals such as Decoration Day. The war, however, cast a long shadow, the traces of which can be found in the rivalry of recent years. “History can be invoked or used to serve any number of purposes,” says Neely. “It’s easy to find evidence that explains why people should get worked up over a basketball game, but there is also a long history of people working together, how-ever tenuously, for the sake of reunion and progress.”

In November Moon City Press will publish Springfield’s Ur-ban Histories: Essays on the Queen City of the Missouri Ozarks, a collection of original articles edited by Dr. Stephen McIntyre (at left, Department of History). The volume’s authors are mostly professors and former graduate students from the Missouri State History Department. Contributors include Professors Holly Baggett, Tom Dicke, Stephen McIntyre, F. Thornton Miller, William Garrett Piston (History), Tim Knapp (Sociology), and former History graduate students Angela Wingo Miller, John Rutherford, and Erin Smither. Other contributors include faculty members from

Drury University, Missouri State University-West Plains, Ozarks Technical Community College, and the University of North Alabama. The eleven essays included in the volume offer the most authoritative account yet published of the distinctly urban history of Springfield Missouri—the largest city in the Ozarks. Articles examine subjects that range from the traditional (including the Battle of Springfield, the Wild Bill Hickok gunfight, and the establishment of Evangel College) to the less well known (including the city’s large early twentieth century labor movement, local memory of African-American inventor Walter Ma-jors, and the creation of a gay and lesbian community in the city after World War II.) This collaborative effort among faculty members and formers students to examine important aspects of our community’s largely undocumented history reflects our strong commitment to the University and the College’s Public Affairs mission. Support from Dean Victor Matthews and History Department Heads Tom Dicke and Kathleen Kennedy made publication of this volume possible.

Annual Meeting The 2012 Annual Meeting of the Missouri Ar-chaeology Society was held on March 30–April 1 at the Holiday Inn Southwest in St. Louis. The meet-ing was hosted by the Mound City Chapter and featured presentations by professional archaeologists from around the state and students from the Univer-sity of Missouri-St. Louis. The Koch banquet lecture was presented by Dr. T. R. Kidder (Professor and Chair, Department of Anthropology, Washington University) and was titled This Changes Everything: Recent Work at Poverty Point, Louisiana, the Most Complex Archaeological Site in America. In addition to the presenta-tions and the banquet, attendees enjoyed a reception, book sales, a silent auction, and exhibits by various member chapters and others. On Sunday afternoon, attendees either visited nearby Mastodon State Historic Site or joined the Illinois Association for the Advancement of Archaeology for a coach bus tour of the American Bottom and adjacent uplands led by Dr. John E. Kelly (Lecturer, Department of Anthropology, Washington University).

Archaeological Survey Training Program for Missouri In July and August 2012, the MAS completed two more sessions of the Archaeological Survey Training Program. The sessions were held at Knob Noster State Park and in and around the City of Excelsior Springs. This program provides the opportunity for participants to gain hands-on experience in archaeology, with an emphasis on preserving archaeological resources or at least the information they may contain. The survey train-ing program seeks to instruct individuals in the importance of locating and preserving Mis-souri’s archaeological resources, to discourage unsupervised looting and weekend digs, and to encourage responsible and ethical collecting. Forty members of the public, ranging in age from 18 to 64, participated. The program is funded for 2012 and 2013 by a grant from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, State His-toric Preservation Office and the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.

2012 Fall Symposium The 2012 Fall Symposium was held in De Soto, Missouri on September 15. Over 50 attendees (both current Society members and members of the public) enjoyed presentations on the theme of Missouri Rock Art. After lunch, attendees and some presenters visited Washington State Park and viewed two sets of petroglyph panels. We were also fortunate to be joined by a family from nearby Hillsboro, Missouri who invited us to help them relocate some glyphs in their town. Continued on next page...

...Missouri Archaeological Society News continued These glyphs originally included numerous motifs carved in both the vertical and horizontal rock surfaces. Sadly, all of the glyphs that were located in the horizontal bedrock surface had been recently paved over. Fortunately, the rock art site had been previously recorded. Attendees were able to relocate a few glyphs still remaining on a vertical rock surface and the MAS office will pro-vide an update to the site recordation form indicating this destruction. This serves as a sad reminder of the necessity of site recordation.

Missouri Rock Art Missouri Rock Art was the 2012 Archaeology Month poster theme. The front of the poster (at left) features an original painting by artist Geri Schrab inspired by a Missouri bird petroglyph. Insets of several bird petroglyphs also occur on the front. The back of the poster pro-vides a definition for rock art and descriptions and photos of selected motifs common in Missouri. The Society distributed over 9,000 posters to public schools, state legislators, historical societies, state parks, and other public institutions, as well as interested individuals.

Two Religious Studies faculty members, Ms Lora Hobbs and Dr. Stephen Berkwitz, were high-lighted in the Bulletin of the American Academy of Religion (AAR), the leading organization, along with the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL), in the field of Religious Studies. Lora Hobbs (at left), Senior Instructor in Religious Studies, published “The Challenge of Hybrid Courses” in the AAR’s Spotlight on Teaching in May. Ms Hobbs’ areas of interest include women in religion, and her “Women and Religion” students and she have developed both a library and online archive of The Religious Lives of Ozarks Women (http://www.missouristate.edu/relst/ozarkswom-en/). Her research has focused on the scholarship of teaching and learning, specifically in the areas of student motivation and engagement in various course delivery formats, based on Ms Hobbs’s development of the “Introduction to Religion” course in blended and online formats alongside the traditional face-to-face format. Most recently, she has developed MSU’s “First-Year Programs” course as a blended course for nontraditional students. Her article can be found at http://www.rsnonline.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1133&Itemid=1264.

The October issue of the AAR’s Spotlight on Teaching featured an article by Dr. Stephen Berkwitz (below, near left), “Teach-ing Religious Studies in Stand-Alone M.A. Programs,” one of the outcomes from the 2009 Stand-Alone M.A. Programs Workshop at MSU, organized by the Department of Religious Studies and funded by a grant awarded to Dr. Berkwitz by the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion. This is the first publication devoted to Master of Arts programs in Religious Studies and may be found at http://www.rsnonline.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1345:teaching-religious-studies-in-stand-alone-ma-programs&catid=84:spotlight-on-teaching&Itemid=1502.

This Department of Religious Studies began this semes-ter under new leadership: Dr. Stephen C. Berkwitz (at near left), Professor of Religious Studies (MSU), assumed duties as our new Department Head this August after re-turning from his research at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg

at Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Germany last year. Dr. Berkwitz’s teaching and research interests include Buddhism, World Religions, Religions of China and Japan, Colonialism and Post-Colonialism in South Asia. Dr. Jack Llewellyn (at far left), stepped down this summer after having served as Religious Studies Department Head for five years. He is on leave this semester and will return to full-time teaching in the spring. Many thanks to Dr. Llewellyn for his service to our department, our students, and the University, and we look forward to continued success under our new head, Dr. Berkwitz!

Matt Hartman (at right), Religious Studies graduate student, traveled to Anchorage, Alaska in May to present his paper, “‘Bringing Us Back’ to Nature: Domination, Transcen-dence, and (Re)Discovering a Levinasian Sense of Otherness in Both Humans and the En-vironment” at the 7th annual NALS conference. The theme of the conference was “Ethics, Environment, and Cultures of Place,” and brought together a diverse group of scholars and activists from many diverse fields, including notable scholars of post-colonialism, environ-mental ethics, and indigenous rights. Mr. Hartman’s paper, combining the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas and contem-porary environmental ethics, dealt with the central issue of domination, embodied in a mentality of colonialism. Mr. Hartman writes: “The text I primarily use for my argument is an essay by Levinas in which he looks at both the Biblical narrative and Tal-mudic commentary of ‘explorers’ entering a (Promised) land to conquer and dominate both land and people. “The conference itself was an incredible experience, and what a setting for a conference dealing with issues of ethics and the environment: on the one hand the scenery is aesthetically beautiful with the surrounding mountains and wilderness, and on the other hand Alaska is a place with a history of colonialism and land theft from native peoples—an issue on which many presented. Concepts of space, land, the sacred, and place all became more than theoretical concepts. The scholars in at-tendance are experts in Levinas’s philosophy, and receiving their feedback when I presented my paper was both humbling and rewarding. I am grateful to both the Department of Religious Studies and the Graduate College of Missouri State University for allowing me to experience such a truly amazing opportunity.”

Linda Covey, Religious Studies alumna (M.A. 2011) is teaching at MSU’s Dalian campus in China and recently taught three religion classes, in addition to Psychology courses. Ms Covey writes, “It was certainly enlightening to me to hear the Chinese students’ comments on religion. There was so little that they knew--some of them didn’t even know that there were any other religions except for Christianity and Buddhism. A frequent comment at the end of the course was that they “could talk now” to foreigners about their religion. Over and over, I found myself having to start with the most basic words and terms. Ground zero. I had 79 seniors in two sections, and one section of international students for two classes per week. “We just finished our term here, and I took that class on a field trip to a Buddhist/Taoist temple complex (at right). They had never been on any field trip and thought the whole thing was awesome (it was their final exam). They had also never been in any temples. Associate Dean, Beat Kernan (above, at left, next to Ms Covey), and another teacher went with us for the day trip. The international students were South Korean, Indonesian, and African (Nigeria). Ms Covey’s M.A. thesis, Diné Becoming Baha’í Through the Lens of Ancient Prophecies, was recently awarded the 2012 Award for Distinguished Schholarship in the Graduate Thesis Category by the Executive Committee of the Association for Bahá’í Studies-North America. Her thesis was nominated by the interim Dean of Graduate College, Dr. Pawan K. Kahol. The award of C$500.00 is offered through an endowment fund established in 2007 by private donors in the hopes that recipients would be inspired and encouraged to make further contributions to Bahá’í scholarship. Ms Covey received her award at the Bahá’í Conference in Montreal. Congratulations!

Sociology & Anthropology News

by Eric Hubbard Four Missouri State University students, Nicole Anderson, Karl Cranor, Meighan Walsh, and me, Eric Hubbard, had the opportunity to travel to Ghana during the 2012 spring intersession. The short-term (3-week) study away program was led by Dr. Margaret Buckner. The trip, an anthropology class entitled “Experiencing Ghana”, was designed to expose students to Gha-naian culture and daily life. Every aspect of the trip was an amazing oppor-

tunity to learn and experience something new; from learning about Ghanaian history in one of the major cities, to learning some of the local language and customs in a small village. From the time we touched down in Accra, the capital of Ghana, we were bombarded with new smells, sights and sounds. Sub-Saharan West Africa is very hot and the humidity was especially noticeable. We did not spend a long time in Accra, only one full day, but it was a wonderful introduction to Ghana. On every street corner there were groups of women balancing baskets of goods on their heads and men running up and down the lines of cars at intersections trying to sell anything from water and food to clothes and cell phone minutes. It seemed that busy intersections in Accra were the city’s equivalent to our supermarkets. From Accra we took a bus to Kumasi, the cultural capital of Ghana and the seat of the Ashanti Kingdom. Kumasi was a bustling city, packed with people and cars. We wandered around the streets of Kumasi, getting lost a few times along the way, which presented us with a chance to try out what little Twi (the local language) we knew. People were always helpful and friendly, pointing us in the right direction every

time. We spent several hours exploring the maze of vendors in Kejetia, West Africa’s largest open-air market. We also learned about some of the traditional crafts at the Cultural Center. From Kumasi we left for Watreso, a small village where we spent the majority of our trip. In Watreso, a surprising amount of time was dedicated to cooking meals and learning to wash clothes by hand. Still, we found time to volunteer at the local school and health clinic or work at a family’s store. On a couple of occasions, we went to one of the family’s farms to learn about the different crops that are grown in the village and on one trip we even spent some time planting plantains. We attended a couple of funerals, a soccer match, Catholic mass (in Twi) and explored some of the gold mines in the area. The middle of the day was often spent playing card games like Spa, a game popular in many countries in West Africa, and hiding

from the sun. Children seemed to be drawn to our presence, always fol-lowing us around town with looks of excitement and curiosity. The last leg of our trip took us to Cape Coast, a large city on the Atlantic Ocean. Cape Coast is home to Cape Coast Castle, which was a major site of departure for slaves heading to the Americas. We toured

the castle and learned a lot about what conditions were like for slaves being held there. The trip was not without its hardships: there were ill-nesses, including, unfortunately a late case of malaria. Overall, the trip was an incredible experience from which we met some amazing people and learned a lot.

Anthropology instructor Jason Shepard directed a Study Away trip for ten students to Guatemala over the summer of 2012 and is organizing another trip for the sum-mer of 2013. Students travel to the highland village of San Pedro situated on Lake Atitlan. This region has a lush and varied ecosystem, culture, and history. The legacy of the Spanish conquest, a 30-year civil war, along with the remarkable preservation and continuity of indigenous Mayan peoples and their customs, make the region an ideal location for an ethnographic field experience. Some students study in Guatema-la for two weeks, while other stay for a full month and are able to explore the lowland rainforests and Mayan ruins of Tikal. While staying in San Pedro, all of the students are able to live and eat with lo-cal families and take one-on-one instruction in Spanish and Tz’utujil Mayan. They also summit volcanoes, travel across the lake to other Mayan villages, visit outdoor markets, explore the colonial city of Antigua (a UNESCO world heritage site), experience local customs and celebrations, and form meaningful relationships with locals. Those staying for the entire month spend extra time in San Pedro involved in language instruction and further investigation of local museums, coffee plantations, farms, and jade manufacture. Their last ten days in the country are spent seeing the capital city, the eco-tourism site of Semuc Champey, famous for its many pristine waterfalls and extensive cave networks and exploring Tikal, the ruins of the largest Mayan city. Throughout the course of the program students witness and/or participate in heritage, eco, historic, cultural, student, mission, and resort tourism. They, Mr. Shepard, and Guatemalans discuss the varied impacts of these different forms of

tourism on Guatemalan communities. Lectures and readings preced-ing the program will provide context and additional depth to these investigations. After coming home, students will have learned about the history, culture, challenges, and prospects for Guatemala and the region through direct experience. They also come home more world-wise and self-confident. Last summer’s group consisted of seven anthropology majors, a global studies major, a Spanish major, and a student in MSU’s radiog-raphy program. These students have maintained friendships abroad and among one another as a result of their experiences.

Would you like to contribute? Here’s how! The size of scholarships at both the graduate and undergraduate levels needs to be augmented, as does the outside speaker lecturer (Warren) fund. In addition, while Strong Hall is quite lovely and is equipped with state-of-the-art projection systems, it still lacks artistic decoration such as paintings and sculptures.
