Research on Mediated Break-ups
I am Ilana Gershon, a professor in the Department of Communication and Culture. I am doing research for a book on what it means to break up by Facebook, email, text messaging, IMing, voicemail, phone - anything that isn't a face-to-face break up. I am looking for people who will talk to me about what they think about these forms of breaking up as well as what experiences you or your friends have had with breaking up using these different mediums. I am also very interested in people who use the honesty box on Facebook. These conversations normally last an hour.. They are completely confidential and I use pseudonyms for everyone when I write. If you would be willing to have a casual conversation with me about this, please email me at igershon@indiana.edu or call me at 856-3728.

2008 Summer Research Internship on Poverty and Adolescent Risk
The School of Public Health in the University of Alabama at Birmingham is offering a summer research internship for students interested in studying neighborhood poverty and its impact on adolescent behavior. Students who participate in the internship, which is in its 11th year, will conduct a survey of adolescents living in public housing and other very low-income neighborhoods in Mobile and Prichard, Alabama. This longitudinal survey, which has been
administered annually since 1998 and has been funded by the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), addresses challenges that young people face as
they grow up in impoverished neighborhoods, including violence, alcohol and drug use, sexual behavior, the development of self-esteem and a sense of the future, and family dynamics. Interns will also have an opportunity to participate in other studies involving the same
population.
We are soliciting applications from students who would like to participate in this unique learning experience. Interns, who may be either undergraduate or graduate students, will be required to live in Mobile between May 19, 2008 and August 1, 2008. The first week,
they will receive rigorous training for the project, including recruiting research participants, interviewing, and the general conduct of field research. Following training, they will go out in the
field; their work will involve door-to-door recruitment of survey participants (to obtain parental permission and informed consent and to schedule a survey time), documentation of the recruitment efforts, and data collection (through administration of the survey in both
group and individual settings). Each student who participates will receive a stipend ($7.50 per hour) to cover living expenses. We are happy to work with students desiring course credit, although this should be arranged through their home universities. International students must contact the International Student Offices at their own university and at the University of Alabama at Birmingham to determine whether they are eligible to participate, and to arrange all of the paperwork for them to be paid. General work hours are between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with some limited weekend work required. We will accept 20-30 student interns into the program.
In the past, we have accepted students from a variety of social science and related disciplines, including Public Health, Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, Political Science, Criminal Justice, Human Development, African American Studies, Women's Studies, Education, and
Biology. All interns will have access to the data for academic purposes. Three students have completed master’s theses using these data, and others are using the data for doctoral dissertations.
Internship applicants should have good communication skills, be able to work well in a team setting, and be sensitive to issues of race and poverty. We will help interns find either commercial or university (dormitory) housing.
Our preference is for students who can spend the entire summer in Mobile. However, during past years we have accommodated some students who have not been able to join us until June, and we will conduct a second training session beginning June 4, 2008. Also, we understand that many students have prior commitments and will have to be gone for a week or two during the summer; we can accommodate this as well.
For more information, please contact John Bolland (contact information is listed below). Interested students should send us a note indicating their interest and a resume (with names of and contact information for three references). We will begin screening applicants on March 17 2008, although we will continue accepting applications until all positions are filled (typically at least the middle of April).

It’s Not Official Until Its Facebook Official: Breaking Up Over New Technologies
Date: Feb 13, 2008
Time: 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
If you are breaking up, what does it matter if the ending is announced on cream stationary, by text message, or in a face-to-face conversation? Breaking up is breaking up. Yet it matters –when someone says “she texted the break-up,” not much more needs to be said. Breaking up through the wrong medium can signal to others the initiator’s cowardice, lack of respect, callousness, indifference. People’s ideas about the medium shapes the ways that medium will deliver a message. In this presentation, we will discuss why, in a break-up, the medium is part of the message.

David Finkelstein of Queen Margaret Univ. "I Played Frisbee with Jesus: Media, Print and the Cult of Personality
Date: Feb 8, 2008
Time: 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
This lecture will look at Media, Print, Culture and its Commodification, exploring the ways in which creators, producers and audiences have been conjoined over the past 150 years in the production of literary culture and social meaning through printed text and other media. It will draw on multimedia techniques to analyse examples ranging from the writing of 19th century African exploration narratives to modern day media and film texts, political propaganda, sports activities and academic discourse. It will conclude by drawing attention to the ways in which concepts of ‘authorship’ and the ‘cult of personality’ have been filtered and used over the past 150 years to frame concepts of other peoples and places, to embed concepts of human selection and iconic commodification, and to sanctify commercial and colonising imperatives.
