What might ivory carvings tell historians that texts cannot? Museums and private collectors today hold an astonishing variety and volume of historical ivory carvings. Each carving, in turn, has stories to tell: stories of the carvers who made them, of an era’s aesthetic, of consumers, collectors, and suppliers within the global trade, and of elephants, their lost worlds, and their tusks. Texts reveal many aspects of this history; material artefacts reveal others. Still more history lies within the DNA, stable isotopes, and trace elements within ivory itself. The goal of our team’s project is to connect these disparate types of sources and to unlock the information within ivory through the use of X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy: a novel, non-destructive method of analyzing ivory. The team is establishing how XRF results differ in ivory objects from differing parts of Africa and Asia and building an open-access database of known XRF results for ivory, so that anyone with an XRF spectrometer and an internet connection can identify the provenance of any piece of ivory, from ancient artefacts to illegal contraband today. Our long-term goal is to test museum pieces en masse and use the data we gather to reconstruct and visualize the history of the global ivory trade with unprecedented granularity, rigor, and breadth.

Everett G. Martin spent his career reporting from some of the world’s most turbulent locales. He was Newsweek’s bureau chief in Saigon during the war in Vietnam and covered the 1973 Chilean coup for The Wall Street Journal. During his time in Vietnam, he befriended author John Steinbeck, who later said Martin’s work was “some of the best reporting I have ever read.”
Martin’s first overseas adventure was as a college student, when he shipped out one summer as a cabin boy on freighter going to Cuba. At IU, he was a night editor and city editor of the Indiana Daily Student. After graduation, he started his career at the City News Bureau of Chicago at $15 a week. From there, he went to the Elkhart Truth and then to the Christian Science Monitor. In 1958, the Monitor sent him to cover the auto industry in Detroit, where The Wall Street Journal later hired him. He moved to New York City, and continued to cover labor and the auto industry.
Martin’s next move was to Time magazine to write about business. He followed his editor to Newsweek, where he worked as deputy foreign editor and covered the United Nations. In the early 1960s, he was given his first overseas assignment: a temporary posting in Hong Kong. He covered Singapore’s expulsion from Malaysia and the India-Pakistani war so effectively that Newsweek made him a permanent foreign correspondent.
In January 1966, Martin was sent to Saigon to set up Newsweek’s bureau. He reported on the war, ran the bureau and briefed visiting dignitaries such as Edward Kennedy and Richard Nixon.
Martin was expelled from Vietnam in 1968 for reporting on government corruption. Newsweek assigned Martin as Hong Kong bureau chief covering Southeast Asia. He traveled with Filipino Sen. Benigno Aquino during his campaign against President Ferdinand Marcos.
He returned to Boston, where he spent a year as an associate professor in the Edward R. Murrow Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. The Wall Street Journal then hired him to cover South America, which he did for 18 years. His work won the Overseas Press Club’s Ed Stout Award in 1973 and Columbia University’s Maria Moors Cabot Prize in 1983. He retired in 1988 and died in 2013.
Raju Narisetti has crafted a career that parallels journalism’s evolution into digital media and publishing’s move toward a viable business plan. Currently the senior vice president for strategy at News Corp, Narisetti leads the company’s global efforts on issues pertaining to digital newsrooms, advertising, data privacy and paywalls, among others.
But his first job after receiving his master’s degree was as a staff reporter at The Wall Street Journal. He moved up the ranks to deputy national editor in 2003. He then was managing editor of the WSJ’s Europe edition, where he established a global news desk.
In 2006, he returned to his native India and founded Mint, which became the country’s second largest business newspaper within its first year. He hired and trained a staff of 200, and later spearheaded a partnership with The Wall Street Journal.
In 2009, he returned to the States as managing editor at The Washington Post, directing editorial teams that won four Pulitzer Prizes during his tenure. He also was responsible for content, staff and digital strategy for Washingtonpost.com as well as the Post’s mobile and tablet platforms.
In 2012, Narisetti rejoined The Wall Street Journal, where he led the digital network. He oversaw development of digital audiences, expanded social media reach and increased the organization’s global footprint in several new languages.
He moved to News Corp, WSJ’s parent company, in 2013.
In addition to his work, Narisetti has devoted time to organizations such as the South Asian Journalists Association, of which he’s a founding member. He is a trustee of the International Institute of Education, which administers global Fulbright fellowships, and the Scholar Rescue Fund. He was elected to three consecutive terms on the board of the World Editors Forum of the World Association of Newspapers.
Ken Beckley has had a storied career in journalism, marketing and public relations since graduating from IU with a degree in radio-television in 1962.
Beckley served as news reporter and anchor in Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Asheville, North Carolina. He and co-anchor Howard Caldwell formed one of the first two-man anchor teams in Indiana, and they were a top-rated team at WRTV in Indianapolis.

Tardy Operating Endowment.
Beckley retired from the IU Alumni Association in 2007, then embarked on yet another use of his writing skills. After reporting on the facts for decades, he fulfilled a years-long goal to write fiction. His first novel, Knuckleball: The Uncertainties of (a) Life, was well received when it was published in 2012. His success inspired him to write his second novel, An Act of Frustration, published in 2016.
Beckley has received countless awards for excellence in his career and for his service to communities throughout Indiana. Among his awards are IU’s Distinguished Alumni Service Award, the Indiana University President’s Medal for Excellence and the IUPUI Maynard K. Hine Medal.

Mark Ferree, ’26, LHD’77, worked for Scripps Howard for more than 25 years, ending his career as executive vice president and then director of E.W. Scripps Co., the newspaper chain’s parent company.
Ferree’s association with newspapers began when he was a delivery boy for the Richmond (Ind.) Palladium-Item. In high school, he became a reporter and editor for the Marion (Ind.) Chronicle and also was editor of his high school newspaper.
At IU, Ferree was a reporter and copy editor for the Indiana Daily Student. He joined the Evansville (Ind.) Courier in 1924 as an editor and reporter before moving the next year to the Miami Herald.
In 1927, Ferree left newspapers to work in advertising and publicity for the Southern Pine Association. That job led him to Washington, D.C., where Washington Daily News business manager Nelson Poynter, BA’24, convinced him to return to newspapers. He started out selling ads for the News, a Scripps Howard paper, eventually becoming advertising manager.
In 1936, he became advertising director and business manager for the Indianapolis Times. In 1945, he moved to New York and became assistant general business manager and then general business manager for all Scripps Howard newspapers. In 1952, he was named executive vice president and director of E.W. Scripps Co. He retired from the company in 1970.
Ferree served as president of the American Newspaper Publishers Association from 1960 to 1962. In 1961, he and seven other newspaper executives met with President John F. Kennedy to discuss the importance of national security regarding news coverage of the failed Bay of Pigs operation in Cuba. Despite pressure from the president, the news executives stayed firm in their stance that freedom of the press trumped the administration’s security restrictions.
Ferree created an endowment for the School of Journalism that has been used to fund student scholarships and student travel. He received IU’s Distinguished Alumni Service Award in 1959 and was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame in 2012. He died in 1982.
Joseph Angotti’s career took him from student news director of Indiana University’s WFIU newscast to senior vice president for news at NBC and the chairmanship of the broadcast program at Northwestern University.
Born a bakery manager’s son in Gary, Indiana, Angotti received his undergraduate degree in education from IU in 1961. He had taken a few journalism courses as an undergraduate, and he cultivated his interest in journalism further by earning his master’s degree in telecommunications at IU.
In 1962, Angotti landed his first job in television at WHAS-TV in Louisville. From that point on, his rise in the industry was rapid. In 1966, he moved to WMAQ-TV, Chicago’s NBC-owned affiliate, where he was both producer and on-air reporter for its Gary bureau. In 1968, he became an NBC network producer, covering the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where he was tear-gassed during the street protests.
In 1972, Angotti was promoted to a producer slot in New York City with NBC Nightly News. He soon became executive producer of the weekend newscast with anchor Tom Brokaw. Angotti was awarded a national Emmy in 1975 for co-producing a series about world hunger and was chief political producer for the network’s election coverage in 1976. Working with John Chancellor, anchor of the weeknight NBC Nightly News, Angotti was the newscast’s executive producer from 1977 to 1980.
Angotti later was named the senior vice president for news at NBC, overseeing coverage of presidential conventions and debates, space shuttle launches and landings, and the fall of the Berlin Wall. In June 1989, Angotti was in Bloomington for IU professor Richard Yoakam’s retirement party, but had to rush off to return to New York to oversee NBC’s coverage of the massacre in Tiananmen Square. He was an early protégé of Yoakam, who had developed and launched IU’s broadcast journalism program.
In 1992, Angotti left NBC and formed his own company, which produced coverage of events such as the 25th Anniversary Gala of the Metropolitan Opera. He also wrote, filmed and edited a series of programs in Eastern Europe, From Marx to Markets, which were filmed, edited and broadcast in Eastern Europe.
Next, Angotti took his knowledge to the classroom. From 1993 to1998, he was the chair of communication studies for the University of Miami’s School of Communication and was founding director of its Center for Advancement of Modern Media.
In 1999, Angotti was named chair of the broadcast program at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism and taught there for the following six years. He also founded the Northwestern News Network, which produced weekly newscasts for Chicago area TV stations. He continues to teach journalism at Monmouth College in Illinois. In 2006, he was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame.
IU journalism Distinguished Professor Emeritus David Weaver has been connected with IU nearly all of his academic life, but acclaim for his work comes from across the globe.
A native Hoosier, Weaver, BA’68, MA’69, left the state briefly to earn his Ph.D. in 1974 from the University of North Carolina. He returned that same year to join the IU journalism faculty, embarking on a 38-year career as a researcher and professor.
Weaver quickly gained recognition for his work, especially in agenda setting, which explores media’s effects on the public, and studies the influence of news sources, other media and journalistic traditions on the news agenda. He has applied the theory to such topics as the relationship among media bias, public opinion and Congressional policy in one 58-year time span.
Weaver is author of more than a dozen books, including the award-winning American Journalists series, which he initiated in the 1970s with his mentor, journalism Professor Emeritus Cleve Wilhoit. Taking the pulse of journalists to gauge what they think about their jobs and their industry produced information no one else was collecting.
Collaborating with other professors at the school, he conducted subsequent surveys in 1982, 1992 and 2002. The most recent, The Global Journalist in the 21st Century, was published this year with journalism professor Lars Willnat, one of Weaver’s former students.
From 1988 until his retirement in 2011, Weaver was the IU Roy W. Howard Professor. In 2009, he received a lifetime achievement award from the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, an organization he had served as president. Weaver also has served as president of the Midwest Association for Public Opinion Research.
In 2010, IU named him Distinguished Professor, the first journalism faculty member to achieve this honor. Earlier this year, he was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame.
As a senior in high school in 1963, Diane Shah told her guidance counselor she dreamed of becoming a writer for Time or Newsweek.
He discouraged her, saying that Time and Newsweek hired only men as writers. Her second choice was to become a sportswriter. He advised her to “go home and start thinking sensibly” about her future.
Nevertheless, Shah studied journalism in college, working at the Indiana Daily Student and graduating from Indiana University in three and a half years, in 1967.
After graduation, Shah began to look for a writing job. The editors she spoke with continually told her they couldn’t hire her because she was a woman.
Ignoring her guidance counselor’s advice, she arranged an interview with the Washington bureau chief at Newsweek. She struck out, being told she not only didn’t have the experience to be a writer, but she also wasn’t qualified to be a reporter, researcher or part-time librarian.
Her persistence led her to her first break, a job at Roll Call, covering Capitol Hill. After six weeks, she received a call from the National Observer, a weekly publication owned by Dow Jones. The publication hired Shah to be the sole writer for a weekly National Observer current events publication written for junior high students. She found the work dull, but she took the job in hopes that it might someday lead to a position with the National Observer itself.
It took only two and a half months. She became the youngest staff writer and one of Dow Jones’s first female journalists.
At the Observer, she covered national stories: trials, profiles of celebrities (including Washington Post Publisher Katharine Graham, First Lady Rosalynn Carter, baseball player Mickey Mantle and football player Joe Namath) and the 1972 Republican Convention.
The Observer folded in 1977. Her next job, of all places, was as a writer at Newsweek magazine. In 1979, she became the magazine’s No. 2 sportswriter and one of the first women to enter a locker room.
At Newsweek, she covered the 1980 Olympic Summer Games in Moscow — which the U.S. boycotted — and the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. She once wrote a cover story on Indiana native Larry Bird, and he reacted by telling other sportswriters, “If I ever see that girl again, I’ll spit in her face.”
In 1981, Shah became the first female sports columnist for a daily paper in the U.S., at the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. She covered Olympics, Super Bowls, World Series, NBA championships, Final Fours (including IU’s 1981 national championship), golf and tennis championships and boxing. When the Lakers beat the Celtics for the NBA championship in 1985, President Ronald Reagan invited the Lakers for a ceremony in the Rose Garden. Shah broke into the White House to get the story. She was the only reporter there.
In 1987, Shah left her columnist job to pursue magazine and book writing. She published stories in The New York Times Magazine, the Los Angeles Times Magazine, GQ, ESPN The Magazine, Playboy, Sport, the Columbia Journalism Review and Esquire.
Shah now writes books and has published four mystery novels, and she co-wrote the book Chief: My Life in the LAPD, which made the New York Times bestseller list. She published her most recent book, Relentless, about famed sports photographer Neil Leifer, in 2016.
Many of us here in Indiana wonder how we can access local food as the weather gets colder and warm-weather plants go dormant. So, in three parts, we're asking folks near Bloomington how they prepare for and operate in winter.

In this episode, Gabe talks with climate and sustainability expert Imran Khalid about COP26, renewable energy, vehicle emissions, and more as they relate to Pakistan's position in a changing climate.
Recent advances in natural language processing in the form of large language models (e.g., ChatGPT, GPT-3, BERT) have created new opportunities for social science research. While some of these models are proprietary and not easily accessible to researchers, others are publicly available through open source repositories such as HuggingFace. Key to these new language models is their ability to capture semantic meaning in texts, which means social scientists can leverage them to identify themes in large corpora of text that were previously unwieldy to analyze. In this workshop, we will review methods to harness these models to glean information from a range of sources including interviews, open-ended surveys, and web-scraped data.
Lecture delivered by James J. Brokaw, PhD, MPH (Professor Emeritus of Anatomy & Cell Biology, IU School of Medicine) on October 3, 2023. Uncovering the controversial and often grim history of acquiring bodies for anatomical study, from the shadowy days of grave robbing and body snatching to the emergence of ethical standards and regulations, this presentation shines a light on the evolution of practices that have shaped the field of dissection, prompting reflection on the delicate balance between scientific progress and ethical considerations.

Ray Milland strolls down some steps and stops to buy a rose in French from a woman with a flower stand. He gives the rose to her and then walks over to his car. He describes the car in voice over as it drives it around the city with cobbled and flat streets. The place he's driving it in is meant to be France as everyone is wearing berets, carrying baguettes, and there's beautiful old architecture. He says some French phrases several times in the ad.

"Liberal democracies constrain power by imposing legal constraints on the exercise of power. Among developed democracies, the United States has one of the most extensive sets of checks and balances. When combined with the country's current polarization, this institutional setup often leads to what I have termed "vetocracy," in which there are so many veto points that even the simplest forms of collective action become impossible.
The U.S. and other liberal democracies will face major challenges in the coming years in making difficult and costly decisions to both mitigate and adapt to climate change. Is there a way of reducing vetocracy without undermining basic principles of liberal democracy? We do not want to imitate China, which stands at the opposite end of the spectrum as a consolidated authoritarian state with virtually no checks on the power of the Communist Party. These lectures will look at institutional measures that democracies might adopt to improve decision-making and implementation."
