He was also featured in LL Cool J's documentary series "Story of Cool," which aired in July on MSNBC. Matthew Bender, associate professor of history, received a contract for his monograph titled, Water Brings No Harm: Management Knowledge and the Struggle for the Waters of Kilimanjaro. The book will be published in 2019 in the prestigious series, New African Histories, at Ohio University Press. This project was supported by the Gitenstein-Hart Sabbatical Prize and many other TCNJ awards and grants. Ellen Friedman, professor of English, published her family memoir, The Seven: A Family Holocaust Story. The book provides an account of Polish Jews — members of Friedman's own family — who survived World War II in the Soviet Union. Michael Robertson, professor of English, was appointed Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Arts in Birkbeck College, University of London, for the 2018–19 academic year. While on sabbatical in London, he will be researching his new book, a biography of 19th-century writer, artist, and socialist William Morris. TCNJ history faculty members Christopher Fisher and Robert McGreevey have completed a book based largely on the scholarship of the late Alan Dawley, a TCNJ history professor who died in 2008. Dawley's main focus of research was how the United States' engagement with the rest of the world shaped the course of history. Global America: The United States in the Twentieth Century, recently published by Oxford University Press, explores how Americans were swept up in the rapid course of global events. As a sociologist, Elizabeth Borland, professor of sociology, has studied reproductive rights in Argentina for nearly 20 years. Now with the support of the Gitenstein-Hart Sabbatical Prize, she'll extend her research to the neighboring countries of Chile and Uruguay. Through fieldwork in all three countries, Borland will gather data to explore how activism has led to policy changes, how the changes are implemented, and how activists continue their fight to guarantee and expand women's access to reproductive choice. Holly Didi-Ogren, assistant professor of world languages and cultures, was awarded a $25,000 grant from the Freeman Foundation ASIANetwork Student-Faculty fellows program. With it, she and four students traveled to northeastern Japan to conduct research this summer. English Professor Michele Tarter published New Critical Studies on Early Quaker Women, 1650–1800, in which she highlights new discoveries about Quaker women and their pivotal influence in modifying the traditional roles of women. Sociology and anthropology faculty members Jared Beatrice and George Leader and their student researchers continue their participation in the Arch Street Bones project. In 2016, more than 400 remains of some of America's earliest colonists were discovered at a construction site in Philadelphia. Beatrice and Leader, along with researchers from Rutgers-Camden, The Mutter Research Institute, and the University of Pennsylvania have embarked on a multiyear project to identify the biological profile and population demographics of the remains, which date back as far as the early 1700s.
