Mya Singleton
Congratulations to Mya Singleton French, major; Bioethics minor (2020) for receiving one of two Academic Achievement Abroad awards given by the Forum on Education Abroad for original research accomplished while a student at IFE's Strasbourg Field Study and Internship Program.
While in Strasbourg, Mya combined her studies in French and her passion for medical and health justice by joining a research team at the European Center for Research in Ethics. There, her work focused on the ethical considerations and ambiguities of "The Absence of Informed Consent in the Retroactive Use of Biological Material in Pathological Research". Her findings formed an important part of the grant submission for a large-scale investigation of a huge, unique holding of pathological tissue samples from the 19th and 20th century (housed at the University of Strasbourg), and have been published.
We are so happy to see your work recognized in this way, Mya!

Black Lives Matter Solidarity Statement
The Department of French grieves with our world, our nation, and our university and local community following the brutal and senseless death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and too many others to name, including the nine worshippers at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. We stand in solidarity with the peaceful protests against police brutality, structural racism, and white supremacy that have caused the death of so many black people to date.

New Book by Cheryl Krueger et al.
Perspectives on Teaching Language and Content by Stacey Katz Bourns, Cheryl Krueger, and Nicole Mills is now in print (Yale University Press, 2020).
The first line in the introduction ("Not a 'one size fits all' model") gives a sense of the book's message, but little did the authors know how important adaptability would be.
