New Works and Creations by Faculty

Professor Susan Birrell presented two keynote addresses at the Korean Sport Studies conference in Seoul, September 19 and 20, and will be presenting the Alan Ingham Keynote Address at the North American Society for Sociology of Sport (NASSS) on November 8 in Denver. Closer to home, she will be presenting "Reading Mt. Everest," from her current book project, as part of the American Studies' Floating Friday series on October 24.

Professor Elizabeth Heineman has just published "The History of Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones: Conference Report," in a special issue of Radical History Review, "Women, Transnationalism, and Human Rights," Volume 2008, Number 101(Spring 2008). Her essay overviews the rich intellectual exchange that occurred during the 2006 workshop on the history of sexual violence in conflict zones which was hosted by the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights (UICHR), and which she co-organized with the late Professor Ken Cmiel.

Professor Heineman spoke on pornography and the European New Left in September. The conference, at the University of Copenhagen, was called: "The Alternative Milieu. Unconventional Lifestyles and Left-wing Politics in West Germany and Europe, 1968 - 1983; her paper was "Pornography and the New Left: the Case of Jörg Schröder."

Professor Ellen Lewin's co-edited volume, Out in Public (Wiley-Blackwell),and her ethnography on gay fathers, Dreaming the Family (University of Chicago Press) are both in press.
