This spring, the Independent Association of Framingham State Alumni introduced an exciting new initiative in the form of a pilot program called the Whitney Academic Travel Grant. We are happy to announce that six proposals were approved by the Executive Board in the total amount of $10,000 to the following:
Aline Davis of the Biology Department will travel to the Behavioral Neuroendocrinology Conference in Michigan to present data to the scientific community that was collected by Framingham State students examining commercial milk for potential estrogenic compounds.
Thomas Grove of the English Department will travel to Korea to present a paper to the Society of Korean Oral Literature and to give an address at the Asiatic Research Center in Seoul on multi-culturalism in the United States.
Bernard Horn of the English Department will travel to Israel to present a paper to the Conference of the Association for Israeli Studies and to meet with scholars who are also immersed in Israeli literature and Biblical Studies.
Patricia Lynne of the English Department has written a paper on the pilot program she ran for first-year writing students that will be presented to the Council of Writing Program Administrators in Minnesota. She is looking for peer feedback and suggestions to improve the program for next fall.
Abdul Momen of the Economics and Business Administration Department will present a paper and participate as a discussant on globalization at the World Congress of Political Science in Santiago, Chile. The participants include distinguished professionals from large universities and organizations.
Leslie Starobin from the Communication Arts Department will travel to France and Israel to continue her field work and oral history interviews of displaced Jewish community members to complete her multi-year visual arts project entitled, The Last Address: Traces of Family and History in Memory and Montage to be exhibited at the Holocaust Museum in Houston and later published in book form.
