Information on some of the new FAHSS faculty Heejeong Ko, Assistant Professor Department of Linguistics My research interests include formal linguistics and psycholinguistics, with emphasis on syntactic theory, second language acquisition, and neurolinguistics. My recent work has focused on the structure and interpretation of questions in East Asian languages (Korean, Japanese, and Chinese in particular), linearization of syntactic structure at the syntax-phonology interface, article semantics in second language acquisition, and brain imaging studies on unconscious processing of words using MEG. Before coming to Stony Brook, I studied in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT, where I received my Ph.D.
Ryan Minor, Assistant Professor Music History and Theory My research focuses on nineteenth-century German music, with emphasis on opera, choral music, and music's participation in the public sphere; my interests also encompass nationalism, religiosity, dramaturgy, and musical analysis and hermeneutics. My recent work has focused in particular on the aesthetic and political trajectories of the chorus within the changing landscapes of German musical culture in the nineteenth century. I've also written on recent Wagner scholarship, and am co-organizing a conference on Parsifal . At the moment, I'm working on two book-length projects: one on visions of community in German opera of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and one on nineteenth-century choral movements.Before coming to Stony Brook, I taught at Williams and the University of Chicago, where I received my PhD.
Andrew Newman Assistant Professor of English My specialization is in early American literature. This field includes writings from and pertaining to the various European colonies in the Western Hemisphere , and from the nations arising from these colonies, into the nineteenth-century. My research is focused on the English language literature of what is now the United States, although I range into Spanish and French. My dissertation (UC Irvine, 2004) was on the role of reading and writing in cultural encounters between euro-Americans and Native Americans. I argued that, in addition to its pragmatic uses, literacy also had an important symbolic function, as a marker of cultural identity. I am currently shaping this research into two book projects: the first develops this thesis on the "literacy frontier;" the second is a history of representations of the Delaware or Lenape Indians. Before coming to Stony Brook, I was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Humanities at the University of Southern California.
Peniel E. Joseph, Assistant Professor Africana Studies at SUNY-Stony Brook He has been awarded fellowships from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Ford Foundation. His work, which focuses on black social, political, and cultural history, has appeared in The Black Scholar , Souls , and the Journal of African American History . He is the author of Waiting ‘Til the Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America ( New York : Henry Holt, 2006) and editor of The Black Power Movement: Rethinking the Civil Rights-Black Power Era ( New York : Routledge, 2006). He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Alice Ritscherle, Assistant Professor Department of History My research considers the languages available for discussing and combating racism and racial violence in Britain, as well as the viability of liberal frameworks, between1948 and 1968. Specifically, it considers ways that recent memories of both Britain's struggle against continental fascism and of Nazi genocidal atrocities shaped the social and cultural terrain of racial politics during a period characterized by wavering commitments to liberalism in matters of race, increasing levels of Commonwealth immigration and, by the late 1960s, the proliferation of right-wing organizations. I am currently preparing an article related to “white rioting” in London and Notting Hill in 1958. This article will explore public responses to racial violence in 1958, which precipitated sea change in British politics by pushing racism to the fore of public debate. I am also teaching an undergraduate survey about European imperialism and a graduate seminar on Modern Europe.
James Rossie, Assistant Professor Anthropology My research focuses on the evolution of apes. I work on the phylogenetic relationships among extinct and living apes, their biogeographic history, and the development of analytical methods that address these questions. My current field research is in the Miocene of Kenya. Most of my work is either comparing the anatomy of living primates, or digging up extinct ones and figuring out who they were related to, and how they lived their lives. Before coming to Stony Brook, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh . |
