Leaving:
Associate professor Holly Stocking retired at the end of the year.

She currently is under contract with the Congressional Quarterly Press to create a collection of science articles from The New York Times.
Associate professor Radhika Parameswaran is spending the semester at the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, where she will teach an advanced graduate seminar, “Gender, Globalization and Media.”
Associate Dean for Research and Undergraduate Studies Amy Reynolds said this is a prestigious moment for the school and for Parameswaran.
“It is the best opportunity and it shows her national reputation,” she said.
Parameswaran also plans to work on her research projects, including her Analysis of Global India, a study on new India and comparison between India during pre-World War II and now. Parameswaran will resume working on her already-developed project on Page 3 journalism in India and hopes to complete her paper on Indian film, “Mr. and Mrs. Iyer.”
“I will be starting work on the first project, while the second one is almost complete,” said Parameswaran.
