Visit us on the web at: www.uncg.edu/his/ As usual, the new academic year has brought changes in department staffing. We are pleased to welcome a new colleague, Jill Bender, a recent graduate of the History Ph.D. program of Boston College. Jill’s research focuses on the history of the British Empire, and we are excited about the new teaching opportunities she can provide to our students. We also had one retirement last spring: Cheryl Logan completed a long and distinguished career at UNCG at the conclusion of the spring 2011 semester. She was a former director of UNCG’s Center for Critical Inquiry, and since 2005, had held a joint appointment in both Psychology and History. Her many contributions in the classroom and to the department will be missed. In addition, we have four colleagues on research leave this year: James Anderson, Asa Eger, Phyllis Hunter, and Lisa Levenstein. Their ability to win support for their research efforts speaks well of the quality of the department’s faculty.
