Dr. Veronique Olivier, Assistant Professor of French, recently published an article for The French Review (Dec. 2010, Volume 84.2) titled, “Teaching French via Text Messages: Using the Phone in the Classroom … for Once!”
This January, Dr. Veronique Olivier will be taking ten of her advanced students to Paris for a January Interterm course. Students will be posting their experiences (in French) on Facebook. Be sure to check it out!
Faculty, staff, and students at Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences contributed more than thirty photographs and small offerings to build a community ofrenda for Día de Muertos, a Mexican holiday commemorating the return and living presence of passed loved ones each year at the end of October and the beginning of November.
Assistant Professor Hannah Ridge’s (Political Science) latest book Contours of Israeli Politics: Jewish Ethnicity, Religious Nationalism, and Democracy looks at the socio-political effects of ethnic prejudices within the Jewish community in Israel. The Voice of Wilkinson sat down with Dr. Ridge to discuss her book and what she hopes readers will learn from her work.
