Dr. Kristine Hildebrandt's Sabbatical Presentation, Today |
|
| |
Kristine Hildebrandt, PhD, associate professor in the Department of English Language and Literature, will give her sabbatical presentation: "When Your Cousin is Your Sister and Your Niece is Your Daughter: Semantic Overlaps and Changes in Gurung (Tibeto-Burman) Kinship Terminology."
10-10:50 a.m.
Today
Peck Hall, room 2413
Kinship terminology, the nomenclature used to identify immediate and extended family members, is an important linguistic and social organizing tool in Tibeto-Burman languages of south and southeast Asia.
Hildebrandt will briefly survey the system of kinship terminology in Gurung (as investigated during my fall 2017 sabbatical), pausing to consider the ways that these terms index different types of family (and extra-family) relationships. She will also comment on how contemporary Gurung kinship terms have undergone various types of language change through time.

Security Enhanced at Lovejoy Library |
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
Two new video surveillance cameras are scheduled to be installed at Lovejoy Library. The cameras will be installed on the second and third floors near the entrance and exit doors.
Lovejoy Library serves a large population of students, faculty and staff, as well as the surrounding metropolitan communities. With the library's increase in hours from 11 p.m.-1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, the additional cameras are being installed as a preventive measure in areas where previous unwarranted incidents have occurred.
Furthermore, the additional cameras and signage will provide a level of comfort for those students and patrons using the library. The new equipment will be used by the SIUE Police Department to protect students, reduce the risk of theft, and reduce damage to property in the library.
In accordance with Section II (F) of the University’s Video Surveillance Policy, Vice Chancellor for Administration Rich Walker has approved the installation of the additional security equipment.
