Our House A Showcase of Scholars, Authors and Ar tists of the Universit y of Redlands
Our House 2016 Achievements 4 Books
A Message from the Provost Three years ago at the University of Redlands we began a tradition of formally recognizing the research and creative endeavors of faculty and staff by distributing a published volume of their recent accomplishments, entitled Our House, along with an accompanying celebration held in the Armacost Library. This year we once again celebrate the scholarly and creative pursuits of faculty, administrators and staff of the University, presenting work from the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and the School of Education. Impressive on their own merits, the research and creative activities of faculty and staff also vastly enrich our teaching and curriculum while fostering a dynamic, interactive learning community that encourages our students to explore areas of interest, reach toward their full potential, and gain greater clarity about their dreams and aspirations. Opportunities to conduct research alongside seasoned faculty give students the best possible environment in which to learn the depth of commitment and creativity involved in the generation of new knowledge and creative forms of expression. With Our House, we recognize and celebrate the sense of belonging we feel, and the collective energy, wisdom, innovation and creativity of the University of Redlands culture. I hope you enjoy reading about the achievements and discoveries listed and described in these pages. Sincerely,

Michael Groher Professor, Communicative Disorders
Transforming the Role of Speech Pathologists Professor of Communicative Disorders Michael Groher recently was awarded Honors of the Association, the highest distinction from the American SpeechLanguage Hearing Association, the national professional, scientific and credentialing association in the field. Through leading international research, teaching and publications, Groher has influenced a transformation of the role speech pathologists play in patient care and how the medical community evaluates, diagnoses and treats patients with swallowing impairments (dysphagia). By helping to establish a multidisciplinary intervention that includes speech pathology as a standard approach, Groher’s work has significantly expanded the scope of treatment options for dysphagia patients.“Before 1983, if you had a swallowing problem in the hospital, you got a feeding tube,” says Groher. “Now we know how to evaluate patients better and that sometimes the feeding tube might not be needed. If you have a swallowing problem, we now know it is a symptom of an underlying disorder. Now, when a new resident gets a patient who is coughing or choking, they know to call a speech pathologist.” Groher says the multidisciplinary approach also has opened up the conversation about end-of-life care. “There are options now. A patient who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis or ALS, or a similar condition, knows he or she will eventually experience swallowing impairments. We can have the conversation early on, so the patient can make the decision him- or herself about whether they will want a feeding tube or if they want the impairment to be managed with the techniques available.”

Patrick Wing Assistant Professor, History
Exploring the Rich Legacy of the Mongols in the Middle East “In general this is a bit of a blind spot in history,” says Assistant Professor of History Patrick Wing about the period in Mongol history explored in his new book The Jalayirids: Dynastic State Formation in the Mongol Middle East. “There’s a tendency when talking about the history of the Middle East to talk about the very early period, the rise of Islam and the caliphate or the modern period since the 19th century. The middle period is seen as kind of an empty or dark age.” Through the story of the Jalayirid dynasty, a major power in Iran and Iraq in the decades after the collapse of Mongol rule there after 1335, Wing explores the legacy of the Mongols in the Middle East, revealing it to be richer and more long lasting than we might have thought. “There were many things happening that were really important for the Middle East. This was when most people in the Middle East become Muslims, not by the sword but through mysticism and communal conversion. It’s a period in which there was great artistic expression, including the beginning of Persian miniature painting. Great Persian poets like Rumi lived in the Mongol period. All this cultural stuff was happening.” Currently Wing is working on two book manuscripts, both of which he is co-authoring. One is an introduction to the history of the Middle East, from the beginning of Islam to about 1500 (with Emran al-Badawi, Sumaiya Hamdani, and Paul Sidelko). The other, a book entitled The Mamluk Empire, is an introduction to the history of the Mamluk Sultanate, which ruled Egypt and Syria between 1250 and 1517 (co-authored with Jo Van Steenbergen).

Jose Lalas Professor, School of Education
Improving Math Instruction in the Moreno Valley “We wanted to create a forum to train teachers on how to do a better job teaching kids mathematics,” says Jose Lalas, professor in the School of Education. A halfmillion-dollar grant awarded by the California Department of Education to increase mathematics achievement among elementary students in Moreno Valley Unified School District is helping Lalas and his colleagues do just that. A collaborative project of the University and the district, the “Transforming Lives through Mathematics Leadership Institute” partners elementary school teachers with math instruction experts to develop their knowledge in math-focused content and technology-infused instruction. As director of the School of Education’s Center for Educational Justice Lalas is the grant’s project director and already he has visited 22 classrooms in the district to measure the initial impact of the training sessions, which began in February, and to assess student engagement. “It’s amazing what they’re doing,” says Lalas. “There’s a real difference in the performance of both the teachers and students, and I’m also seeing a lot of group collaboration.” The project, he says, aligns well with the mission of the Center for Educational Justice. “In the spirit of justice we want to serve those underserved areas, and through grants like this, that go directly to the heart of training teachers on how to work with diverse kids, it’s really a fantastic mission for the center to pursue.”

Nephelie Andonyadis Professor, Theatre Arts
Inventing a World through Set Design Recently, Theatre Arts Department Professor Nephelie Andonyadis has brought her design skills to productions the length and breadth of the state and throughout the US. Two of these projects were regional theater productions—Mr. Wolf (by Rajiv Josef) at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa and Disgraced (by Ayad Akhtar) at Playmakers Repertory Theatre in Chapel Hill, NC. Andonyadis also was the set designer for two touring productions, Wrestling Jerusalem (by Aaron Davidman) and California the Tempest (by Alison Carey), which The Cornerstone Theater Company staged at 10 venues in California. For Andonyadis a set design can be many things, from a colorful painted backdrop that fits into a suitcase (Wrestling Jerusalem), to a truss, platforms, stairs and “a huge number of props” that travels to different venues in several large trucks (California the Tempest). What matters, says Andonyadis, is that through her scenic design she is “creating an opportunity for words to be spoken in a meaningful way” and providing “the playground, the vessel, the antagonist, the physical and visual space in which action happens.” Small scale models, complete with tiny furniture and tiny people, help solidify the ideas. Then come discussion, revision, more discussion and a final design, though even that can evolve and change during rehearsals. In terms of bringing it back to the classroom, Andonayadis sees set design as instructive in much larger ways about “problem solving and collaboration and visioning.” Working with the seamstresses, carpenters and myriad other workers on a stage set is a skill to be learned, too. “You have to be able to inform and inspire the team so they can invest themselves.” Our OurHouse House2016 2016|| 9

Jennifer Nelson Professor, Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
Looking at Medicine through a Feminist Perspective In her new book, More than Medicine: A History of the Feminist Women’s Health Movement, Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Professor Jennifer Nelson takes readers back to the Civil Rights, New Left and Women’s Liberation movements to shed light on the ways mainstream medicine has historically failed to address the needs of people of color, the poor and women. Nelson discusses how the feminists of the ’60s and ’70s took up the charge to upend the way medical care had been delivered and addressed issues of sexism and gender inequality. “They start setting up their own feminist clinics and reversing the hierarchy so that feminists and lay practitioners are in charge. They want doctors occasionally, but as assistants and to write prescriptions. They talk about medicine not just being medical care but the treatment of the entire person,” says Nelson. Her research for the book stretches back to 2003 when she held a position at the University of Mississippi and began researching the development of the Mound Bayou Community Health Center in the 1960s. Nelson’s first book, Women of Color and the Reproductive Rights Movement, was published in 2003.

Rod Goodyear Professor, School of Education
A Distinguished Career in Counselor Training Recognized School of Education Professor Rod Goodyear was honored last summer with the American Psychological Association’s 2015 Distinguished Career Contributions to Education and Training in Psychology Award. Goodyear, whose primary area of scholarship has been counselor training and supervision, says that his entire career can be credited to what Stanford’s John Krumboltz calls “planned happenstance.” “That is, opportunities I had that I had not planned for, but which seemed at the time to fit where I wanted to be going, have all had a cumulative effect in shaping what has become my career,” he says. “I was fortunate, for example, that in my graduate program, two of my professors were independently writing about counselor supervision, which still was a fairly new topic, and that was the initial spark for what has been a career-long interest in counseling/psychology supervision and training.” He was later able to put together a video series that led to Janine Bernard asking him to join her in writing a book, Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision, now in its fifth edition and likely the most-used book of its kind internationally, and to collaborate with Korean scholars with whom he connected during his time as a Fulbright Distinguished Lecturer at Yonsei University in the spring of 2012. “It is to some extent about serendipity but also about being prepared to act on those fortuitous moments when they occur,” Goodyear says. “I have been quite fortunate.” Our OurHouse House2016 2016|| 11
About Our House Dr. Art Svenson, beloved professor of three decades at the University of Redlands, has in the past coined the phrase “professors’ paradise” to describe how he feels about spending his days with students “who are as interested in what I do as I am.” An inspired advocate of the University and the community he champions, our David Boies Professor of Government created a “forever moment” in February 2013 with his impassioned rendition of a speech he themed “Our House”— the very, very, very fine kind—as the featured faculty speaker at the inauguration ceremony of the University’s new president, Ralph W. Kuncl. Using a beat-poet spoken-word style, and bedecked in a silk sapphire-blue jacket from China, Dr. Svenson captured the essence of Our House in his spirited performance that epitomizes the collective joy, wisdom, innovation and charm of the University of Redlands culture at its heart. Through the pages of this booklet, we welcome you to Our House, the fourth edition of an annual celebration of the scholarly and creative accomplishments of our faculty and staff that sets the stage for volumes and stories to come.
