Six astronauts are comfortably seated in a Studebaker Lark to show the large interior space inside the car and trunk despite the small frame of the car.
In the 1990s, you could see one bumper sticker across the capital of Azerbaijan: "Happiness is multiple pipelines." Amid ever-complicating conversations about environmental resilience, the themes of diversification, redundancy, and (inter)dependence of energy infrastructure remain relevant.
In this episode, we talk with Dr. Adam Stulberg, Sam Nunn Professor and Chair in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, about the history of conflict and collaboration surrounding natural gas infrastructure -- and how it all remains relevant today.
Miriam Meloy Sturgeon’s legacy to IU journalism lasted long after she earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the program. She established IU’s first journalism library and, as an associate at the IU Foundation, helped raise more than $1 million for the renovation of Ernie Pyle Hall in the mid-1970s.
Sturgeon, BA’38, MA’40, studied journalism and government as both an undergraduate and a graduate student. As an undergraduate, she worked at the IU Bookstore and was a reporter, copy editor and church editor of the Indiana Daily Student. As a graduate student, she was secretary of the Department of Journalism, and, at director John Stempel’s request, she established the journalism library.
Sturgeon was selected as a member of the college chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, now The Association for Women in Communications. She remained affiliated with the organization for the rest of her life, serving as president of the Bloomington and Indianapolis chapters, and as national president from 1961-63. She also was a member of the National Federation of Press Women and its Indiana affiliate.
In 1974, Sturgeon won the IU Alumni Association’s Gertrude Rich Award, given annually for outstanding contributions to the IUAA.
The IU Foundation named an award in her honor, the Miriam Meloy Sturgeon Award for Partnership. In addition to her work on the library and on Ernie Pyle Hall, Sturgeon helped raise funds for construction projects on the Musical Arts Center.
She also was editor of a publication for the College of Arts and Sciences and Graduate School Alumni Association, and of Hoosier Business Woman, the state publication of the Business and Professional Women’s Club.
At a memorial service for Sturgeon in January 1979, Stempel said, “Those of us associated with journalism are forever in her debt for her leadership in raising the money necessary to carry instruction in journalism at Indiana University into the electronic age.”
He added, “She was one of that group who have made Indiana University great.”
My project maps the monuments erected during the Salvadoran Civil War (1979-1992) and especially after the peace process in San Salvador (1992-1993) related to this conflict. The Salvadoran Civil War, fought between the guerrillas unified under the FMLN and the US-backed Salvadoran army, was one of the fiercest conflicts in Latin America during the 20thcentury and one of the last to be produced in the context of the Cold War. In addition to the intensity of the armed struggle and the high number of civilian casualties, this conflict is notorious because it had no clear winner and was the first peace process mediated by United Nations. Furthermore, one of the recommendations of the UN’s Commission on the Truth for El Salvador was the erection of a monument for the civilian casualties of the conflict. Although Salvadoran governments ignored this recommendation for years until The Monumento a la Memoria y la Verdad was inaugurated in 2003, many more monuments have continued to populate San Salvador’s landscape. My project tracks the patterns of memorialization that emerged during the transition to democracy in this country and aims to document information that is not easily accessible on the internet about these sites of memorialization. Furthermore, I argue that both sides of the armed struggle, now institutionalized political actors, have continued to memorialize and monumentalize their perspective of the conflict up until a point of saturation, which, in turn, coincides with the current crisis of Salvadoran democracy.
We took a trip to Fort Collins, Colorado, for the annual Society of Environmental Journalists conference, and we want to tell you about it. Between the Rocky Mountains and the short-grass prairie, topics surrounding public lands flowed easily — as did connections with journalists, researchers and other attendees. In this episode, we dig into the conversations, moods, and trends that emerge when environmental journalists converge. Special guests this episode include Meera Subramanian and Lyndsie Bourgon.
