Current Update.
PPOL Update January 18, 2007PPOL Students:
Here’s the latest Update with several events already piling up. Please look through here and make sure you are aware of them.
5. Geography Candidate Presentation 6. Philosophy Candidate Presentation 7. Environmental Policy Presentation 8. Inconvenient Truth Screening 9. Conflict of Interest in Biomedical and Behavioral Research Conference 13. Research Funding Opportunities 16. Post Doctoral Opportunities
Please note that today (Wednesday, January 18) is the last day to add or drop classes. Please make any final changes to your schedule today. Students will not be allowed to add courses after today. Please check your registration to insure you have not been dropped by the university for any reason (e.g., nonpayment, immunizations, etc.). Let me know immediately if there are any problems.
Each spring the Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG) hosts a Research Fair where graduate students present their thesis or dissertation research to faculty, staff, and their peers. This is an excellent professional development opportunity plus there are generous cash prizes given in each discipline category. The Research Fair this year will be held on March 31 and GPSG is currently soliciting abstracts from graduate students. A flyer about the conference is on the bulletin board in the PPOL suite in Colvard. We had a great showing by the PPOL students last year and I strongly encourage all of you to participate this year.
Tomorrow is the next brown bag presentation in Sociology. Here are the details. All PPOL students are invited to these events. It is a great opportunity to explore that interdisciplinary aspect of our partnering departments.
January 19, 12:30-1:30, Fretwell 419 Julie McLaughlin "Examining a Change in Health and Psychological Well-being from a Life Course Perspective"
If you haven’t heard already, the PPOL students have formed a dodge ball team for intramural play this semester. The games will be on Mondays at 4:20 and everyone is welcome. You might have seen the email from Jason that there are even team jerseys (t-shirts). If you would like one, even if you are not playing, contact Jason and let him know. The cost is $8. His email is jgiersch@uncc.edu.
Go Wonks!
5. Geography Candidate Presentation
As many of you know, Dr. Ron Kalafsky took a new position last summer. We are in the process of hiring a new Economic Geographer, a position very important to the PPOL program. The first candidate is Dr. Gianfranco Piras who has his Ph.D. in Economics specializing in Econometrics from the University of Rome. He will me meeting with graduate students tomorrow (Friday) from 2:30-3:00 in McEniry 342 and he will be making his research presentation tomorrow at 3:30 in McEniry 122. The title of his presentation is: “Does Evidence on Regional Economic Convergence Depend on the Estimation Strategy? Outcomes from a Set of NUTS-2 EU Regions”. If you cannot make the presentation but would like to see his presentation slides, let me know. I have them on file.
6. Philosophy Candidate Presentation
The Dept. of Philosophy, another partnering department of PPOL, is also hiring a new professor. Their first candidate is Benjamin Hale and he will be making his job talk in Storrs 110 on Monday, January 22, at 2:00.

7. Environmental Policy Presentation
Mecklenburg County environmental specialist to discuss Charlotte’s growth, air quality Jan. 22.
Dana Etherton, a meteorologist and air quality specialist with the Mecklenburg County Air Quality Program will be on campus Monday, Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. in Cameron Hall, Room 101, to give the fourth in a series of Environmental Systems seminars. Etherton’s topic is “Accommodating Growth While Improving Air Quality - Charlotte’s Ongoing Challenge.” Etherton works in the Mobile Sources group within the County’s Air Quality Program. She helps to design and implement local efforts to meet federally mandated air quality standards in a manner that is consistent with the growth and business development efforts of area. The Environmental Systems Seminars, which occur monthly, are sponsored by the Environmental Academy, the Civil Engineering Department, and the Infrastructure and Environmental Systems Ph.D. Program. The series provides informative and thought provoking seminars for faculty and students on topics generally related to Environmental Systems.
8. Inconvenient Truth Screening
On Monday, January 29th at 4:30 and again at 6:30, there will be public screenings of the Al Gore documentary on global warming, "Inconvenient Truth." This is one of those contemporary policy issues that cuts across many of our specific policy domains and is good grist for provoking discussion. I was told it is free and open to the public. Both screening will be in the Storrs Auditorium.
9.Conflict of Interest in Biomedical and Behavioral Research Conference
The Center for Applied Ethics is inviting PPOL students to participate in their upcoming conference. The schedule is below. Note that there is a free open lecture on the evening of February 8th. The bulk of the conference is on the 9th. Dr. Tong has indicated that PPOL students can attend for free, but you must let me know if you will be attending so they can get an accurate count for the meals. If you tell me you are going and fail to attend, she will bill PPOL. So, let me know if you want to attend this event. It will be particularly useful for those of you in the methods course as these ethical issues are very closely tied to what we would normally like to do methodologically, but often times cannot for ethical reasons. Here’s the schedule:

No one contacted me about attending the South Carolina Political Science Conference, so that trip is off. The North Carolina Political Science Association meeting will be in Fayetteville on March 23rd. This is another good opportunity to “get your feet wet” in terms of developing your presentation skills in conference settings that are professional, but are less intimidating that the national conferences. Grad students are particularly welcomed to this one-day conference. Details are available at www.ncpsa.net. Let me know if you are interested and I will allocate travel money for you to attend.
Here are some late breaking news items from the library. A—The Library has a new service within WebBridge (the “Get It” button that displays when searching databases) that allows patrons to go directly to an ILL form when the item they are requesting is not available at our library. Instructions: Locate an article in a database; Click on the “Get It” button; If the library does not have it, click on the link to Interlibrary Loan; Sign in to Interlibrary Loan; The citation will automatically load. B—New Library Acquisitions are listed at: The Library’s home page at http://www.library.uncc.edu/ / Library Services / Collections & Technical Services / New Books and Other Library Resources.
Dr. Bruce Arrigo (CJUS) received on of the field’s top awards last month and is one of only 30 awardees ever. Supporting UNC Charlotte’s spreading reputation as a top-notch institution, the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS) recently named UNC Charlotte Professor Bruce Arrigo its 2006 recipient of the Bruce Smith Sr. Award, the most prestigious honor bestowed by the organization. Of the thousands of criminologists worldwide, only 30 have received this award. “The Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences grants only three awards each year, and the Bruce Smith Sr. Award is considered the most prestigious,” said Vivian Lord, professor and chair of the criminal justice department. “Bruce clearly deserves this award for his outstanding contributions to criminal justice, and this award, presented by our academic peers from throughout the world, recognizes his work. The faculty of UNC Charlotte’s Department of Criminal Justice is very proud, but not surprised, that Bruce as been thus honored.” The PPOL program is also quite proud of Dr. Arrigo’s award and is happy to have him as one of our most stalwart supporters.
Diane Zablotsky (SOCY and Office of the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences) won a Curriculum and Instructional Development Grant for $18,000 for “Assessing, Implementing and Expanding Experiential Learning in the College of Arts & Sciences.”
Jennifer Hartman (CJUS) and Vivian Lord (Chair, CJUS) won a Curriculum and Instructional Development Grant $12,265 for “Effective Strategies for Retention & Academic Success Among Criminal Justice Transfer & Freshman-Declared Majors.”
The Department of Political Science was pleased to complete the successful hire of a new chair for the department. Dr. Robert Kravchuk, currently at Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs, accepted the new position and will begin on July 1st. As chair of the search committee, I appreciate all the time students gave to meeting with the four finalists we had for this position. Political Science is obviously a major component of our PPOL program and having some one of his caliber, experience, and policy interests bodes quite well for our continued good partnership with Political Science.
In addition to the new chair hire, we also had an outstanding hire in the Dept of Criminal Justice. This position was for a full professor of public policy, and is expected to play a major role in the PPOL program. Dr. Bobby Braeme will join us in August. He is one on the highest ranked CJ scholars in the nation today and we were very fortunate to land him here. Our ability to attract this level of quality to the faculty continues to reinforce the fact that increasing quality of this institution is quite real and PPOL is enjoying a lion’s share the fruits from these recent hires. The future just keeps getting brighter for us as PPOL comes of age.
13. Research Funding Opportunities
THE ANITA STEWART BROWN GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH AWARDS
The Special Collections Department of the Atkins Library announces the availability of the Anita Stewart Brown Graduate Student Research Awards. The awards, up to $500, are made possible by a bequest from Mrs. Brown to honor the memory of Harry Golden, author of the best selling book, Only in America, publisher of The Carolina Israelite, and civil rights activist. The awards are intended primarily to help UNC Charlotte graduate students pay for travel costs to do research at other libraries and archives and to attend professional conferences directly relevant to their research. Other appropriate expenses will be considered on a case by case basis. Priority will be given to full-time graduate students in the humanities and social sciences who have previously done work in the Special Collections Department and who need additional funding to pursue their research. The first two Brown awards were made in 2006 to Amanda McGuire, who will traveled to London to study the Mt. Everest expeditions of the 1920s, and to Julian Dodson, whose research took him to Mexico to research the Cristero Rebellion of 1926-29. To apply for awards for 2007, students should submit the following material to their graduate coordinators: a cover letter, a resume, a research proposal, and an estimated budget. This information should describe the current status of their projects, the extent to which they have explored sources relevant to their work in the Atkins Library Special Collections Department, and what collections they need to use at other repositories. Graduate coordinators are asked to forward the material, with a brief endorsement on behalf of their students, to: Robin Brabham, Associate University Librarian for Special Collections, Atkins Library. More than one student from a department may be nominated for the awards. The deadline for applications is March 16, 2007. For further information, call Robin Brabham at 72369 or email him at rfbrabha@email.uncc.edu.
THE DIRKSEN CONGRESSIONAL CENTER invites applications for grants totaling $30,000 in 2007 to fund research on congressional leadership and the U.S. Congress. The competition is open to individuals with a serious interest in studying Congress. Political scientists, historians, biographers, scholars of public administration or American studies, and journalists are among those eligible. The Center encourages graduate students who have successfully defended their dissertation prospectus to apply and awards a significant portion of the funds for dissertation research.
The awards program does not fund undergraduate or pre-Ph.D. study. Organizations are not eligible. Research teams of two or more individuals are eligible. There is no standard application form. Applicants are responsible for showing the relationship between their work and the awards program guidelines. Applications are accepted at any time. Incomplete applications will NOT be forwarded to the screening committee for consideration.
