Oksana Moroz, an assistant professor of English and director of writing, recently published a research study in a special issue of TESOL Journal on gender equality. Her article titled “A case study of an English teacher in Ukraine: Where gender and national identity intersect” explores interactions of multiple identities and the experiences of one female in-service English language teacher in the Ukrainian context. Utilizing a narrative inquiry method, which includes an online autobiography, interviews, and lesson materials, the study examines how Irene’s (a pseudonym of the main participant) multiple identities intersect with her gendered identity to shape her experiences. The findings demonstrate that Irene’s transnational gendered identity is shaped by her educational and professional journey, her role in the language teaching field, and her various social identities.

Joseph P. Huffman, distinguished professor of European history, has completed two major research projects. 1. A lengthy article of over 50 pages in German will be published this December in the premier Rhineland journal for history: “Caritas und die Profitwirtschaft: Hospitalverwaltung und -stiftungspraktiken im mittelalterlichen Köln (ca. 1200-1350),” Geschichte in Köln. Zeitschrift für Stadt- und Regionalgeschichte 71 (2024) [i.e. “Charity and the Profit Economy: Hospital Administration and Endowment Practices in Medieval Cologne].
2. A major new book of 650 pages will be published this December by the leading academic publisher in Germany: Medieval Cologne: From Rhineland Metropolis to European City (A.D. 1125-1475) (Berlin: De Gruyter Oldenbourg Verlag, 2024).
