The research team of Atwood, Eunsil Lee<\/strong> and Adam<\/strong> Carberry<\/strong> of Arizona State, Heidi Diefes-Dux<\/strong> of Purdue and Matt Siniawski<\/strong> of Loyola Marymount was invited to submit to a special edition of the journal as a result of a previous international conference paper.

Peter Licona<\/strong>, assistant professor of PK-12 STEM education, was recently published in the International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism<\/em>. The article, \u201cTranslanguaging as pedagogy: developing learner scientific discursive practices in a bilingual middle school science classroom,\u201d<\/a> is based on his dissertation work in an English\/Spanish dual language seventh grade science classroom.<\/p>\n

Licona wrote the article with his longtime research collaborator Paolo Infante, an assistant professor of TESOL in the Department of English at Minnesota State University, Mankato.<\/p>\n

Linda Macaulay<\/strong>, instructional technologist with ITS, presented the education session \u201cThe \u2018Dark Side\u2019 & \u2018The Force\u2019 of Academic Support\u201d at Online Learning Consortium (OLC) Accelerate 2018, focusing on ways to empower faculty support team members.<\/p>\n

The presentation was ranked in the top three proposals submitted to the track of Professional Development and Support and in the top 15 (top one to two percent) of all submitted conference proposals for the 2018 OLC Accelerate conference this year. This distinction resulted in being invited to serve as a round table discussion facilitator for the Professional Development and Support Track Town Hall presentation during the conference.<\/p>\n

Fletcher McClellan<\/strong>, professor of political science, and Kayla Gruber<\/strong>, ’18 delivered the paper “The Shape of Restlessness: Reading The Great Gatsby in the Age of Trump” at the 50th annual meeting of the Northeastern Political Science Association in Montreal, Canada November 8 through 11.<\/p>\n

Professor of International Studies Oya Ozkanca<\/strong>\u2019s PS 350 and BA 350\u00a0European Union\u00a0Simulation\u00a0course took part in a three-day Mid-Atlantic\u00a0EU\u00a0Simulation\u00a0exercise in Arlington, Va. from November 8 through 10. The\u00a0EU\u00a0Simulation\u00a0is held through the participation of about 180 students from 18 different colleges and universities. This year, the\u00a0Elizabethtown College delegation represented Hungary.\u00a0Members of the class each represented a member of the Hungarian Cabinet, a member of the\u00a0European Parliament, or an EU Commissioner.\u00a0The topics of debate this year were security and defense and environment.\u00a0The E-town delegation attended\u00a0a very helpful briefing session at the Embassy of Hungary in Washington, D.C., where the students had a chance to ask questions about the\u00a0simulation\u00a0topics to the Hungarian diplomats.<\/p>\n

Two of the delegation members, Alissa Stoneking<\/strong>, \u201821 and Marc Unger<\/strong>, \u201819 took a leading role in writing the draft legislation that the participants of the EU Simulation discussed and amended throughout the simulation. Marc Unger received the Best EU Commissioner Award at the simulation. Our students had a chance to experience first-hand\u00a0the\u00a0EU\u00a0decision-making processes in this signature learning opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
