Faculty Scholars for 2000 are named
The 2000 recipients and their research areas are: Craig A. Kletzing, associate professor of physics and astronomy, will study waves associated with the aurora borealis by using measurements from a sounding rocket launched from Alaska in 2001 and laboratory measurements made with the large plasma device at UCLA. Judith Pascoe, associate professor of English, will write a book about late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century collectors and collections, a study that links romantic poetry to material obsessions. John Durham Peters, associate professor of communication studies, will write a book that explores how the history of electronic media in the United States, England, France, and Germany illuminates issues facing us in the next millennium. Jodie Plumert, associate professor of psychology, will use a bicycling simulator to study the behaviors that put children at risk for bicycling injuries. Claire Sponsler, associate professor of English, will complete a history of early European drama in America and begin a study of medieval travel literature and the development of English nationalism.
