More than four decades have passed since the advent of the new folkloristics. Assessments of this revolution tend to narrowly focus on performance theory and not on whether the broader promises of this era have been realized, especially in areas of cross-disciplinary research. This address will look specifically at how attitudes toward historical scholarship have changed within the discipline of folklore and how we have constructed our own disciplinary histories during this postrevolutionary phase. Finally, the address will look to the future and whether we are reconstructing our past in our current graduate training in the discipline.
From the beginning, Vernon A. Williams, BA’73, wanted to be a writer.
Growing up in Gary, Indiana, he wrote his first play in the fourth grade, which was performed in class. In middle school, he started a weekly hand-printed newsletter on notebook paper. He pitched an unsolicited radio program as a high school freshman to a local station that put him on the air. Two years later, he wrote and hosted the first student broadcast over the school corporation radio station. As a junior, he started a teen news column for Gary Info Newspaper – where his biggest “scoop” was being first to report the Jackson Five signing with Motown Records.
Those youthful experiences inspired a career in broadcast and print media, as well as education, that spanned more than 55 years. Williams started at The (Gary) Post-Tribune as a reporter, columnist and editorial board member. He was morning drive personality for “The Breakfast Club” and hosted the call-in program “Sound Off” on WLTH, and was station manager for WGVE.
Among his most notable career interviews were Lena Horne, Dick Gregory, Colin Powell, Jesse Jackson and Phylicia Rashad.
In 2001, Williams moved to Indianapolis to become marketing supervisor for Indianapolis Public Schools Career-Technical Education. After IPS, he became vice president, communications, for Indiana Black Expo, where he developed marketing and communication strategies, prepared high-impact communication material, wrote speeches, developed leadership presentations and organized press conferences.
Williams left Expo to become assistant to the chancellor for communication at IUPUI before taking his current position as communication and community engagement strategist for the premier urban research campus. He is a leader of IUPUI’s Africana Repertory Theatre and executive director of OnyxFest — the first and only annual Indiana theater festival featuring works of Black playwrights.
Williams is a news analyst and commentator for the Chicago/Gary Crusader Newspaper. He is president of the Indianapolis Association of Black Journalists and is on the Board of Directors for Heartland Films. He is a former president of IU’s Neal-Marshall Alumni Club.
He has written four books, the latest being, “God Said Tell You.” He has written and produced 11 plays — the most recent, “A Noise in the Attic,” will premiere in November.
Williams earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from IU and a master’s in communication from Purdue University.
His myriad honors include the IU Alumni Association President’s Award, IU Groups Program Covered Bridge Award, Center for Leadership Development Community Leaders Award, 100 Black Men of Indianapolis Silver Anniversary Service Award, The National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa – Beta Mu Chapter Community Service Award, Hoosier State Press Association First Place in Newswriting and the Indianapolis Recorder Champions of Diversity Award.

Summary:
A lecture and panel discussion exploring the intersections between sacred and secular African American music genres (funk, soul and gospel, in particular) and the ritual preparation and sharing of foods in promoting and sustaining African American communities, organized as part of Indiana University's Themester 2014 "Eat, Drink, Think: Food from Art to Science." After an introduction by Dr. Mellonee Burnim (Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology), featured guest speaker, Dr. Psyche Williams-Forson (Department of American Studies, University of Maryland College Park) provides a general introduction to the significance of food traditions as a signifier of African American life and culture (approximately 30 minutes). Following are shorter presentations by Dr. Alisha Lola Jones (Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology) and Dr. Tyron Cooper (Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies), who explore unifying linkages between sacred and secular music and traditional African American foodways, signifying the complementary roles these cultural practices play in demarcating various aspects of African American identity. At the conclusion is a brief question and answer session. The panel was held on October 27, 2014, from 4:30-6:00 p.m., in the Grand Hall, Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, at Indiana University, Bloomington. Presented by the Archives of African American Music and Culture; sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences—Themester; Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies; Department of Anthropology; Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology; Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center; Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs; and the Asian American Studies Program.
Willie Wells (West Columbia, South Carolina)
Willie Wells, the son of the late Bill Wells, has always been on the music scene. Since the early ‘70s, Willie has played drums and sung lead and harmony vocals. Willie and another musician friend organized a country music group called CHOYCE that ran for more than twenty years. With early country music and bluegrass influences from his father, Willie continued to develop and expand his musical direction toward recording studio production. In the past ten to twelve years, Willie has shifted more toward continuing the bluegrass legacy of his father. Being inspired by his father to play guitar and to be at the helm of the “Blue Ridge Mtn. Grass” band (BRMG) that his father started some forty years ago, Willie is keeping his father’s wishes to preserve bluegrass music in South Carolina. Today, the band is a mix of traditional and contemporary bluegrass with some new arrangements of old songs as well as a mix of original songs. Willie Wells & The Blue Ridge Mtn. Grass first album title, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, continues to promote bluegrass music throughout the area. Willie is also the owner of Bill’s Music Shop & Picking’ Parlor in West Columbia, South Carolina.

Summary:
“I have yet to meet the person I can’t teach to draw,” T. Kelly Wilson tells Through the Gates host Jim Shanahan in this week’s episode. Wilson is an architect and director of the Indiana University Center for Art and Design in Columbus.
Wilson talks about the importance of drawing on creativity and invention. “When you go to draw and you look to perceive … the world becomes suddenly very strange and complex,” he said, adding that common notions of what you’re seeing change and modify when translating them to pictures.
This episode also introduces Janae Cummings, a new Through the Gates podcast host, who will also be featured in upcoming “Five Questions” segments featuring campus visitors and faculty, staff, students, friends and alums of IU.
Dr. Coady Wing is an Associate Professor in the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Wing’s primary research examines the way that occupational regulations shape the way that different types of workers are used to provide health services; he also studies the health and economic welfare of veterans. More broadly, Wing studies the methodological and substantive conditions under which quasi-experimental research designs appear to reproduce the results of randomized experiments. His research has been published in the Journal of Health Economics, Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, and American Journal of Public Health, among others.
Classical applications of instrumental variables analysis are justified by structural models of behavior, and assumptions about the relationship between measured and unmeasured variables. Experimental and quasi-Experimental research designs present a partial alternative to structural modeling that is useful for answering certain types of research questions. It turns out that instrumental variables analysis can also help us make sense of several different research designs.
This workshop will introduce the key assumptions involved in instrumental variables analysis from the perspective of research design. It will examine the way instrumental variables can play a role in the analysis of data from (i) classical randomized experiments, (ii) experiments that mix randomization and participant choice, and (iii) surveys that suffer from nonresponse. In each case, research designs justify some instrumental variable assumptions and not others. Examples and best practices for applied research will be discussed throughout.

In 1997, WISH-TV secretly filmed resident abuse by employees inside New Castle State Developmental Center in New Castle, Indiana. The impact of making the disturbing, hidden camera footage public was the closure of the Center in 1998. Channel 8, the Indianapolis station affiliated with CBS, broadcast their footage as part of a series of seven investigative reports aired between May 5 and May 13, 1997. Indiana Governor Frank O'Bannon visited the Center the day after the first TV report. An AP news article published May 7 said that the Governor was "outraged." "If you had loved ones in one of these state facilities you'd be worried about them." "No citizen's tax dollars should be paying for abuse and not care." Two employees had been fired before the report aired, and three workers suspended. Portions of the WISH-TV reports were broadcast nationally by CBS news with anchor Dan Rather.
Originally known as the Indiana Village for Epileptics, the institution opened in 1907 on 1300 acres in rural Henry County. Although its purpose was to serve patients with convulsive disorders, the mission later broadened to include intellectual and other disabilities.
This is a video of the fifth WISH-TV news report about abuse at the New Castle State Developmental Center, broadcast on May 9, 1997. It is included in the Indiana Disability History Project collection with permission of the station.

The Indiana University Archives has been capturing the web content created by IU Bloomington offices for over a decade. We began by running trial crawls in late 2005, and in 2006 fully committed to the project. Archive-It, a service of the Internet Archive, allows us to harvest and build collections of web sites and other digital content. This summer, we expanded our scope to include the social media content of offices across campus. The IU Bloomington social media index identifies nearly 500 accounts across various platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Vimeo. While some accounts are more active than others, valuable content is continuously created and shared. This presentation will provide an overview of the social media collection, highlight some of the technical challenges we faced, and discuss the value the collection brings to the overall holdings of the University Archives.
