Redshirt freshman Bacarri Rambo 'works with first team' defense
by The Red and Black
Aug 19, 2009
“With Georgia upperclassmen Reshad Jones and Quintin Banks out with injuries, redshirt freshman Bacarri Rambo is getting a lot of No. 1 snaps at strong safety. It's quite a transition for a young kid that has yet to see real game action in a college football game, especially at a position that's highly demanding in intelligence.”

Holocaust Historian to launch new book
by Clark University Press Releases 2009
Sep 03, 2009
“On Thursday, September 10, Deborah Dwork, Rose Professor of Holocaust History and the director of Clark University's Strassler Family Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, will discuss her new book, "Flight From the Reich: Refugee Jews, 1933-1946" (W.W. Norton & Co., April 2009), at 7:30 p.m. in Tilton Hall, 2nd floor of the Higgins University Center, 950 Main Street, Worcester.
The book--her fourth co-authored with Professor Robert Jan Van Pelt of Waterloo University-- is built around the stories of Hitler's first victims, Jews who fled Germany and Austria between 1933 and 1939. The book examines the ever-dwindling choices open to asylum seekers, and the often painful decisions of the people who dealt with them – consuls, immigration officers and other government officials, church, health and social workers, volunteers and private individuals. Government policy and individual practice, and international action and local initiatives loomed large in this chapter of Holocaust history.
Adam Kirsh of The New Republic writes, "The refugees Dwork and van Pelt write about…were largely assimilated Jews in an advanced, urban society, and their stories offer the all-too-imaginable scenario of law-abiding citizens whose government turns, gradually but inexorably, into their enemy."
Dwork told Jewish Week that "the past can offer us guideposts and points to think about," referring to current examples of economic and political refugees and how communities might prepare for the absorption of such refugees. "When I look at the way Jewish refugees have enriched communities where they settled -- in terms of human capital, not money -- I feel great about refugees coming to my community, and look forward to their participation," she said.
A reception will follow the book launch. For more information, please call 508-793-8897.

The mission of the Strassler Family Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies is to educate undergraduate and graduate students about genocide and the Holocaust; to host a lecture series, free of charge and open to the public; to use scholarship to address current problems stemming from the murderous past; and to participate in the public discussion about a host of issues ranging from the significance of state-sponsored denial of the Armenian genocide and well-funded denial of the Holocaust to intervention in and prevention of genocidal situations today.”

IDCE professor receives African Research Fulbright
by Clark University Press Releases 2009
Aug 12, 2009
“Foley to study sex health issues in urban Senegal
Ellen Foley, assistant professor of International Development and Social Change at Clark University's Department of International Development, Community, and Environment , has received a 2009-2010 U.S. Fulbright Scholar African Regional Research Program award in support of her research on the cultural, economic, and health implications of changing trends in marriage, gender roles, and sexual norms in urban Senegal. She was one of only ten scholars in the United States to receive a fellowship through the African Regional Research Program.
Professor Foley is a medical anthropologist whose research explores the intersection of global health policies, national health priorities, and the household politics of managing ill health in marginalized communities. She has conducted extensive research in Senegal; her forthcoming book "Your Pocket is What Cures You: The Politics of Health in Senegal" (Rutgers University Press 2010) examines the gendered effects of neoliberal development policies and health sector reform. Foley has conducted research among African immigrants in Philadelphia and Worcester, analyzing health disparities and access to health resources, particularly access to HIV/AIDS prevention information, testing, and treatment.
With $49,500 in support from the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, Foley will be in Senegal from September 2009 through May 2010 to continue her research project titled "Sex in the City: Gender Relations amidst Social Crisis in Urban Senegal." The project addresses the social construction of gender and sexuality in the context of shifting marital patterns and transactional sex in Dakar. Her research will evaluate health and development efforts targeting registered and clandestine sex workers.
Foley has been a contributor to Clark's work with the aids2031 initiative, a worldwide consortium developing strategies in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Clark hosts the Project Management Unit overseeing nine working groups. Foley participates in the Social Drivers Group, which examines the underlying social, political, and cultural injustices that allow AIDS to thrive in certain areas of the world. She helped facilitate a series of community dialogues in Dakar, Senegal in 2008 aimed at soliciting the views of youth and sex workers on Senegal's HIV/AIDS policies and programs.
Foley received $61,924 from the Health Foundation of Central Massachusetts, Inc., for a 2008 action research project called "Bridging Barriers: Meeting Youth Immigrant and Refugee Health Needs in Worcester, Ma." Clark research fellow Octavia Taylor was co-Principal Investigator of the project. Foley also received funding from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security on Action Research to Prevent and Reduce Youth and Gang Violence in Worcester, with Clark IDCE assistant professor Laurie Ross, as part of a cross disciplinary collaboration within the IDCE department.
Professor Foley, a resident of Worcester, has been at Clark since 2006. She taught previously in the anthropology department at Michigan State University and in the Health and Societies program at the University of Pennsylvania. She received a B.A. in anthropology at Kalamazoo College and earned an M.A. and Ph.D. in anthropology at Michigan State University.”
