SOAN Professor, Michael Taylor, is interviewed on NPR about the debate between the Oneida Indian Nation and the Washington Redskins regarding the team’s name and mascot.
Check out what he says about this debate and Colgate’s mascot name change.
SOAN faculty and students have their own blogs; some of our courses have blogs associated with them, too. Here are just two examples:
Professor Meika Loe blogs about aging, the life course, and her own experiences in community based learning and activism: http://agingourway.wordpress.com/
My “Food” course has a blog where students post all kinds of things related to their interests in food and farming: http://colgate-food-studies.blogspot.com/
What other SOAN blogs are out there? Send me a note about them, and I will add them to this post!
Congratulations to Nancy Ries, Jonathan Hyslop, and Karen Harpp, as recipients of The Kallgren Fund which will provide funding for their project proposal Tanzania and Kenya: Elephants, Volcanoes, and Ports, to investigate questions about violence, global trade, and the conservation of endangered species. Nancy Ries and Jonathan Hyslop are professors in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and Karen Harpp is a professor in the Department of Geology.
The Kallgren Fund is an endowed fund to be used for the benefit of faculty. It is overseen by the Kallgren Committee, which asked the Faculty Development Council (FDC) to administer a pilot program to fund faculty travel. Because of additional support from the President’s Office, the FDC were able to support four strong proposals that pursue very different kinds of opportunities. Please join the FDC, and the Sociology and Anthropology Department in congratulating our SOAN professors as they embark on these exciting plans over the summer of 2014. Read more
