Research Collaboration Creativity at Bradley University

From the President

Bradley University takes great pride in its vibrant faculty members who are highly engaged in research, scholarship and creative activity. Devoted to increasing knowledge in their respective fields through inquiry, collaboration, experimentation and discovery, Bradley faculty represent a wide array of academic disciplines.

In this edition of Bradley Works, we spotlight eight members of our exceptional faculty whose teaching and research uphold the high academic standards and global awareness that are the hallmarks of the Bradley Experience. From aligning immigration patterns with Newton’s gravity model, to ergonomics engineering in dentistry, to neuromarketing research on types of food, and more, I am confident that you will be impressed with their endeavors. Sir Isaac Newton’s gravitational model provides the basis for Dr. Joshua Lewer’s research into international trade and immigration. By using the gravity model to explain aspects of global commerce, Lewer, the McCord professor of executive management development, has reached novel conclusions on what makes certain countries more attractive to immigrants — and which aspects of life in their homelands might compel them to leave. Dr. Regina Pope-Ford’s doctoral dissertation on ergonomics in dentistry inspired the engineering assistant professor’s current research on musculoskeletal disorders among dentists. Using a motion-tracking system and electromyography, she studied muscle use and strain as dentists completed common procedures. Pope-Ford hopes her efforts will ultimately lead to modifications in both dental equipment and the work habits of those in the profession. Neuromarketing research conducted by Dr. Kara Wolfe and Dr. David Olds with assistance from Bradley’s Center for Collaborative Brain Research provides food for thought on the way our brains

are hardwired to respond to familiar and unfamiliar fare. Wolfe, the C.C. Wheeler endowed professor in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences and director of Bradley’s Hospitality Leadership program, and Olds, assistant professor of family and consumer sciences, believe the study holds potential for aiding health educators and restaurant marketing executives in promoting healthy food options. Dr. Dan Getz and Dr. Jason Zaborowski are conducting research on ascetic practices in East Asia and the Middle East, respectively. Getz, associate professor and chair of the philosophy and religious studies department, embarked on site visits to China last summer to further his research on Buddhist monasticism, while Zaborowski, associate professor of religious studies, visited Egypt to continue his research on Christian monasticism. They are developing joint plans to offer Bradley students unique opportunities to study monasticism comparatively. Dr. Olatunji Dare is a journalism professor whose research, enhanced by his experiences as an international news correspondent, examines the function the media plays in developing countries’ democratization efforts. Focusing on radio communication in wildland firefighting, Dr. Elena Gabor, assistant professor of organizational communication, is working to improve training in radio communication practices and message design.

This research highlights the versatility and variety of Bradley’s talented and dedicated faculty. Committed to making a lasting, positive impact on the global community, they are key influencers of the next generation of researchers, academics, entrepreneurs and leaders.

LEFT: Four-time Emmy Awardwinning sportscaster Charley Steiner ’71 HON ’10 speaks at Bradley’s 15th annual Hollywood Gala Reception at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, following the announcement of his gift and the naming of the Charley Steiner School of Sports Communication — the first named sports communication school in the nation.

Game Changer: Charley Steiner School of Sports Communication As a longtime figure at ESPN and broadcaster for two iconic Major League Baseball franchises — the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers — Charley Steiner ’71 HON ’10 has left an indelible mark on sportscasting. His mark on the University will be as enduring. Bradley announced in January the Charley Steiner School of Sports Communication is the first named sports communication school in the country. A formal dedication is scheduled for March 31. In addition, the four-time Emmy Award winner will spend time on campus every fall and invite other broadcasters, writers and media professionals to join him in teaching at the Steiner School. His gift to Bradley will expand offerings for internships, create symposiums and lectureships and enhance options for expedition courses and trips to major sports and media markets in the U.S. and abroad.

“My career began at a time when the words ‘sports’ and ‘journalism’ rarely shared the same book, much less the same sentence,” the 11-season Dodgers broadcaster said, adding the industry now is worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year. “Bradley can become a driving force in ways we can’t even begin to project. Being a part of that process, from the place where it all began for me, brings an overwhelming sense of pride and joy.” Bradley President Joanne Glasser said Steiner is a wonderful friend to the University. “We are so proud of our distinguished alumnus and the success he has achieved. Charley’s gift is transformational for our sports communication program.” Launched in the fall of 2009, the program now has 120 majors. They prepare for management positions in professional, collegiate and amateur sports, as well as jobs in sports media and as sports

information and communication specialists. The program familiarizes students with diverse aspects of sports communication, including sports journalism, promotion and publicity, production and performance, and sports media relations. Its students have interned for NBC at the Olympics in London and in Sochi, Russia, and at Super Bowl XLVI, as well as for professional and amateur teams, marketing groups and media outlets.

Hilltop Connection A 2003 Bradley Centurion, Steiner was inducted into the school’s Athletics Hall of Fame in 1995. He endowed the Charles H. Steiner Scholarship for Bradley broadcasting majors in 2000. One of only 17 sportscasters in the National Radio Hall of Fame, he is among several famous broadcasters and announcers with connections to Bradley, such as Ralph Lawler ’61, Brad Johansen ’84, the late Jack Brickhouse ’37 HON ’90, and Chick Hearn. Steiner was the opening speaker at the Summit on Communications and Sports presented by Bradley in 2012. “Charley’s generous gift, famous name and renowned achievements make the Steiner School of Sports

Communication the first major league sports communication academic program in the country,” said Dr. Jeff Huberman, dean of the Slane College of Communications and Fine Arts. “These additions help Bradley attract the best students from throughout the country and the world to study with the very best faculty and connect with industry professionals.” The announcement honoring the New York native also drew praise from sports figures. “Charley has chronicled two of our storied franchises and all of baseball with passion, enthusiasm and humor — qualities that will serve Bradley students well in all their pursuits,” noted former baseball commissioner Bud Selig. Starting at radio stations on campus and in Peoria while a student, Steiner worked in Iowa, Connecticut, Cleveland and New York City before moving to ESPN. He has won several broadcasting awards and a Clarion Award for excellence for his coverage of the Mike Tyson trial. Dr. Paul Gullifor, Henry Means Pindell endowed chair of the Department of Communication, noted, “With Charley’s support, we are opening the door to many more opportunities for our students. His name lends stature and prominence to our program. Great faculty who want to teach in sports communication will be attracted to the Steiner School.”

Bringing Gravity to Global Economics Dr. Joshua Lewer knows the earth is round, yet he also thinks it’s flat. “ I tell my students the world is flat and fast,” he said. “Flat because it’s easy to ship goods anywhere. There are few physical barriers. People and financial assets can move anywhere. And fast because the goods move fast.” BY MARY BROLLEY Photography by Duane Zehr

curious about how the world’s goods — and the people who create and consume them — move from place to place. Studying these issues has become his life’s work. “International economics is the study of how the world uses its scarce resources to maximize global welfare. It involves wealth and poverty, labor and the environment — the big issues of our age.” He remembers how his research started: “The questions that intrigued me were, ‘What makes countries grow? Why are there so many people living in impoverished developing countries?’ So, I focused on international trade; specifically, does it matter what a country exports and imports?” To begin, he used a formula derived from mechanical physics — the Newtonian gravitational model. “It’s a workhorse theory,” he said of Sir Isaac Newton’s law stating that the gravitational force between two planets is a function of their relative

In addition to having published several dozen refereed journal articles, he is the author or co-author of two textbooks: Principles of Macroeconomics and International Trade and Economic Growth (with Hendrik Van den Berg). At Bradley, few of Lewer’s students are economics majors. He calls his classes “service based” — designed to give business majors a grounding in the discipline. “I want students to understand the economic forces occurring all around them and be able

to apply economic methodology to improve the environment in which they work and live.” Lewer has heard his chosen field called difficult, complex — and boring. “I tell my students, ‘This isn’t your parents’ economics class. This isn’t the one in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, where everyone is sleeping.’ I try to keep classes interactive, with content revolving around current macroeconomic issues,” he noted. He is proud of his calling. “Many of my family members are in the medical field. My dad’s a dentist. Once, he asked me why I was interested in studying economics,” Lewer explained, then paused. “Now, I’m a numbers guy. I like trends and numbers, and it just kind of fit into what I was. But, it’s more than that.” He added, “I told my dad what [economist Biggs: Myrna Carlebur.

and former longtime chairman of the Federal Reserve] Alan Greenspan told his father: We economists hope we can do some good for the human condition. We study how people use their scarce resources to help each other. It’s a noble study, a noble field.”

Although economist Brian Biggs ’08 (above) never took a class from Dr. Joshua Lewer, they interacted often. “He joined the Bradley faculty during my senior year, when I was taking my upper-division electives,” Biggs said. “We spent a lot of time debating the merits of measuring societal progress via gross domestic product growth and discussing practical aspects of empirical economic research.” In the spring of 2008, the senior economics major was awarded the Davies-Jackson scholarship to St. John’s College at Cambridge University in England. The scholarship for postgraduate work is awarded annually to an outstanding senior at a liberal arts college in the United States who is the first in his or her family to graduate from college. After earning a master’s degree at St. John’s, he went to work at Bloomberg LP and Europe Economics in London before taking on his most recent role as a research analyst at Grosvenor Group. His frequent discussions with Lewer helped inform his research techniques — and thus his career, Biggs said. “Dr. Lewer showed me in a practical way how to conduct empirical research. Talking to him about the good, the bad and the ugly of working with real-world data and statistical software was an essential introduction to the ideas and methods I use every day.” The gravity model of trade and immigration taught by Lewer, Biggs commented, provides a “template” students can use to begin to understand empirical economics. “It’s extremely intuitive,” he said. “Not only does it draw comparisons with a familiar idea from physics, but it’s also common sense.”

Pope-Ford would like to expand her study to see if the initial findings hold true. She also intends to broaden her research to other health care providers, such as surgeons. Another area of interest is studying children’s posture while they use cell phones and tablets. “I am interested in studying the flexion of the neck with the head down,” she said. “Dentists exceed the amount of neck flexion that is recommended, and the same is happening with children. I believe we will start to see more neck and back issues

made about stresses and psychosocial factors in their work. “At least three or four of the dentists I talked with said they don’t seek medical assistance when they experience discomfort or pain. Some take over-the-counter medicine or see a chiropractor, but they often feel that discomfort comes with the job,” Pope-Ford said. The dentists evaluated had been practicing between two and 40 years. “I found no correlation between the number of years of practice and the number of pain areas. Even though there is a high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, activities and hobbies away from work also have an effect. However, exercise, massages and adequate breaks during the workday can serve as interventions,” Pope-Ford explained. “Mental fatigue affects physical performance, too.”

among them.” Pope-Ford hopes her research will ultimately result in modifications to tools, chairs and other products dentists use. She will present her findings at the Conference for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists in Seattle in May. She hopes networking with dentists and suppliers will present opportunities to seek volunteers for future studies and to discuss funding. Her article “Neck and shoulder muscle activation pattern among dentists during common dental procedures” is scheduled for July publication in Work: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment, and Rehabilitation. The journal covers the entire scope of the occupation of work, with a major emphasis on preventing workplace injuries. Pope-Ford commented, “I like doing research that has an impact on people. In industrial engineering, almost everything we do is tied to the individual. I hope to alleviate or prevent injuries, and I enjoy the opportunity to interface with people. Engineering involves a great deal of theoretical research, but I like applied research.”

Olds noted the unfamiliar foods, both with and without labeling, elicited responses from more and different areas of the brain. “The familiar foods get a basal response in the visual cortex of the brain in the occipital lobe — ‘I’ve seen this food before, I know what it is.’ Not a lot of brain activity is needed to interpret the pictures of the familiar food,” Wolfe explained. “With unfamiliar foods, participants are functioning in the occipital lobe, but they’re using the temporal lobe to associate the food with things they know, as well. It’s not straight recall; it’s association. They use the insular cortex areas of the brain to aid in interpreting what they are seeing. The words on a label add

Study participants’ fMRI scans showed marked differences in brain activation when viewing pictures of foods they knew, foods they didn’t know and unfamiliar foods with labels. All food types activated the occipital lobe (Occipital Fusiform Gyrus and Lateral Occipital Cortex) of the brain, where visual processing takes place. Unfamiliar foods, both with and without labeling, elicited responses from different areas of the brain. Unfamiliar foods sparked activity in the insula (Insular Cortex) which is linked to perception, self-awareness and cognitive functioning. It also is where the degree of pain is judged and where pain is imagined when a person looks at images of painful events. Labeled unfamiliar foods involved the frontal lobe (Middle Frontal Gyrus and Precentral Gyrus). That part of the brain is able to recognize future consequences, override and suppress unacceptable responses and determine similarities and differences between items or events.

The Modern Search for Ancient Monasticism In the Fall term of 2014, Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies presented a two-part lecture series in comparative monasticism that is just the beginning of a scholarly conversation between two colleagues who have carried out extensive research on ascetic practices in two different parts of the world. Dr. Dan Getz, associate professor and chair of the philosophy and religious studies department, is an expert on religions in China and Japan and has spent many years studying Buddhist monasticism in East Asia. Dr. Jason Zaborowski, associate professor of religious studies, is an expert on Coptic Christianity and has likewise devoted himself to the study of Christian monasticism in the Middle East. During the summer of 2014, they embarked on site visits to China and Egypt, respectively, to research the living traditions and historic artifacts spanning the long history of asceticism in those regions. The narratives and accompanying slide shows that Getz and Zaborowski presented provided an update on their work and invited discussion from students, faculty and residents of Peoria who were in attendance. Their research is leading

toward important publications in their respective scholarly fields, but they are also developing joint plans to offer unique opportunities for Bradley students to study monasticism comparatively.

Egypt and the Middle East Tradition traces the origins of Christian monasticism to St. Antony (c. AD 254–356) of Egypt. The story of his life was one of the most widely read books of early Christian holiness, making famous the deserts of Egypt as training grounds for asceticism — “spiritual exercise.” The Life Venerable Yifa: Dr. Dan Getz; Father Maximous al-Antony: Dr. Jason R.

Media and Nation-building BY NANCY RIDGEWAY Photography by Duane Zehr

When journalism professor Dr. Olatunji Dare talks about freedom of the press and other hallmarks of journalism, he speaks from experience. He has watched a government attempt to squelch public discourse by shutting down a newspaper and has found his colleagues have disappeared with no explanation. He has feared for his life and slipped across borders to safety in the United States. He also knows what it is like to be embraced by the Bradley University community and to make his mark on budding journalists. All the while, he continues to inspire and lead as a columnist for a major Nigerian newspaper. Stepping into his office, visitors meet a friendly and gracious man. No framed awards or photos

of him with prominent leaders reveal that he is a celebrity in his homeland of Nigeria. There, he is a highly regarded satirist and newspaper columnist whose 70th birthday celebration was attended by leading politicians, scholars and media chiefs. At Bradley, he is a beloved professor whose research focuses on the role of the media in democratization and national development.

Gaining Public Trust He noted that in the past, the media had been government controlled. “People didn’t trust the media and viewed them as propaganda organs. If the media didn’t enjoy public confidence, how could they advance democracy?” As private newspapers and television and radio stations replaced government-owned ones, the media gradually built trust. “People who could not get their views in the media now have these sources.

In one African country after another, military dictatorships rose and ruled until soldiers overthrew the dictators. “Something that should have been a key component in independence struggles wasn’t there. Democracy was not an objective. But, a byproduct of the failure of military rule and the end of the Cold War was that democracy took firm root. It has become almost a newfound religion.”

Media’s Role in Westernization Dare also discussed media and national development, another focus of his research. He said national development was often conceived as modernization or Westernization and noted people in advanced countries don’t understand the roadblocks involved and the structural constraints. For instance, people in many developing countries can’t take out a bank loan. Even if they increase their crop yields, there is a lack of storage. He shared examples of good intent with disappointing results. In Zambia, farmers were offered a hybrid seed corn as an incentive to multiply yields. They had a bountiful harvest, but the corn didn’t taste as good as the local variety and was hard to grind. However, it made a very good beer, so people set up small breweries in their homes. The result was a nationwide epidemic of alcoholism. In India, there is a shortage of water, which the hybrid seeds required. Farmers borrowed money to dig wells with the idea that the harvest would pay off the loans. They didn’t reap the harvest

are just different.” He added, “It has taught me to be modest about what the media can achieve. The media are just one factor among many. They generate awareness, provide information and point out errors, but they operate within constraints. People say media sets the agenda. No, they don’t. They work with other social forces and institutions to build an agenda for national discourse.”

logistical purposes, including coordinating crews, ordering resources, communicating size-ups (initial evaluations of a fire), providing weather updates and reporting status of operations or locations of firefighters. A notable aspect of radio communication in wildland firefighting is that radio is a linear medium, while events in a complex incident such as a large (more than 300 acres) wildland fire are numerous, complex and overlapping, requiring excellent communication skills and tools. In small fires, events are easier to control; however, in large fires, more messages are transmitted over busier channels with more interference and less time to talk. Communications must be transmitted over greater distances and through a number of communicators, thus increasing the risk of messages â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and meanings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; becoming corrupted. Also, in large fires, multiple channels must be scanned, increasing the likelihood of information overload and messages going awry. Because large incidents last longer, messages may lose relevance, be overrun by events, be forgotten or become more urgent due to lack of timely action. Optimally, an HROâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communication tools and practices should help it expertly adapt to the complexity of its environment. Yet, there are few scientific studies addressing how firefighters communicate risk on wildland fires, even though nearly every incident report lists communication as a factor in the unwanted outcome. We hope that our study will lead to improved training in radio communication and message design.

Chicago Art

Campus Sculptor Perspective by Fisher Stolz, associate professor of art, was selected for a juried exhibition at the Elks National Veterans Memorial in Chicago from May through October 2014. The marble, bronze and iron sculpture is 2 feet long, 1 foot wide and 2 feet high. The stone came from a block of marble Stolz selected in Carrara, Italy. The iron form was cast at Inferno Art Foundry in Atlanta during a Bradley sculpture trip that exemplifies

the off-campus experiential learning that is intrinsic to a Bradley education. The bronze was cast in Bradley’s sculpture studio in Heuser Hall. Stolz is a former vice president of Chicago Sculpture International and was the director of the exhibition “Sculpture Now: Artwork Along the Lake” in 2012 and 2013. He has taught sculpture at Bradley since 1994.
