Brian Green, Sociology, had an article published in the December 2009 edition of the Polish Sociological Review. The article, co-written with Maciej Kryszczuk of Kozminski Academy in Warsaw, is entitled “Computerization of Polish Households in Social Structural Perspective: A Dynamic Analysis of the Informatization Process over 20 Years,” and continues their work on the history of the expansion of personal computer and internet use in Poland since the 1989 revolution there. The study examines the connections between adoption and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and changes in social status. The results provide support for the hypothesis that regular use of ICTs does have positive effects on long term income growth, even when controlling for other factors such as age, education, and urban/rural differences.

Irene Herold, (Mason Library) presented on two panels at the recent Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries Annual conference, Staff Development on a Shoestring, in Hanover, N.H. Her first presentation, We’re Not in Kansas Anymore, was for the diversity panel and was based upon work Mason Library staff did with Dottie Morris, chief diversity officer, last spring. Herold described the work the staff did and showed two illustrative clips from the films Ethnic Notions and The House We Live In (both of which are available in VHS format from Mason Library’s media collection). The second panel was on mentoring, and Herold’s talk was When You Need More Than Ruby Slippers. Herold’s Ph.D. coursework and dissertation is focusing on mentoring and leadership, and her talk not only drew on this work, but also on her experience establishing a state-wide mentoring and job-shadowing program for the NHCUC Libraries Committee, which is now in its seventh year.

Dr. Wanda Swiger stands on a bench to tape a 6’6” tall athlete at Deaflympics. (Courtesy photo)

Dr. Wanda Swiger (Athletic Training) was in Taiwan earlier this month, serving as an athletic trainer for the team at Deaflympics, the international competition for hard-of-hearing and profoundly deaf athletes.

Swiger was part of the medical staff providing comprehensive health care for the 191 athletes in the U.S. delegation. The selected medical staff must be licensed and nationally certified, be in good standing within their profession, have demonstrated comprehensive knowledge of sports medicine, and be proficient in American Sign Language. As a child of deaf adults (CODA), Dr. Swiger was given preference in her selection.

Over the three weeks, the athletes and the medical staff had to adjust to high ambient temperatures and the high humidity. The games began with an opening ceremony event on September 5 and concluded on September 15. While Dr. Swiger was responsible for athletics (track and field athletes), the medical staff (nine ATCs, one orthopedic surgeon, and one family practice physician) collaborated on prevention, injury diagnosis, and injury management for all 191 athletes. While her assignment required long days, she did have time to visit the CKS Memorial Hall and take a harrowing trek to the top of TAPEI 101 (for Wanda and her fear of heights, this was a major accomplishment). “I hope to be lucky enough to be selected again,” she said. “It was an opportunity of a lifetime.”

Dr. Jim Chesebrough (Music) spent two weeks in June touring Germany, the Czech Republic, and Denmark as a member of the Trombone Choir of America. The members of this ensemble are trombone professors and performers from colleges and universities across the United States. They performed concerts in Bad Neuenahr in Germany’s Ahr River Valley and at St. Nicholas Church in Prague, and then traveled to Aarhus, Denmark, to attend the International Trombone Festival. The Trombone Choir of America joined with players from around the world, giving performances as the Cramer Trombone Choir at the Royal Academy of Music and the Aarhus Cathedral. Attending the latter performance was Margrethe II, Queen of Denmark. Along with the opportunity to meet and study with international artists, the players were also able to visit museums and cultural and musically significant sites in Cologne, Leipzig, Bonn, and Hamburg.

 Dr. Chesebrough also toured New England for a week with the 2009 Yankee Brass Band. The band is made up of invited players who perform period concerts on original instruments from the second half of the 19th century.
