A Message from Damon Jaggars, Vice Provost

and Director of Libraries

On behalf of the Office of Academic Affairs, the Faculty Club, and University Libraries, congratulations on your achievements in tenure and promotion. The Faculty Recognition Program acknowledges the personal success this milestone represents in your career. Tenure and promotion are granted after a rigorous review of a faculty member’s sustained record of excellence in teaching, service, research and publication. The individuals honored here have been recognized on campus, nationally and internationally for accomplishments in their fields. The granting of tenure and/or promotion rewards the commitment of time, effort and thought on the part of each honoree.

The faculty members granted tenure and/or promotion in the 2017/2018 academic year were provided with the opportunity to select a book from the University Libraries’ collection in which a book plate bearing their name will be placed. Honorees were also invited to include a personal statement about the book’s significance to them. The reasons particular works were chosen are as diverse as the honorees. Some were significant because of a relationship with the author; others, because of the subject matter covered. Books written by mentors, colleagues and the honorees themselves impacted the honorees personally and professionally.

Ohio State President Michael Drake noted that “the iconic nature of this academic research university gives us an incredible opportunity to have an impact on higher education broadly. Our faculty does remarkable work in the classroom teaching the next generation of leaders.”

The vision of the University Libraries is to advance student and faculty success, deliver distinctive content, and foster intellectual connections. We look forward to supporting your teaching and research, and adding works that you create into the ever-growing repository of information that the Libraries has become. It is an honor to work with this outstanding faculty.

Ola AhlqvistProfessorGeographyCollege of Arts and Sciences Selected: Peter Fisher and David Unwin, editors. Re-Presenting GIS. John Wiley & Sons, 2005. When Peter Fisher served as the external opponent on my PhD exam in Stockholm, Sweden, he completely transformed what could have been a nerve-wracking ordeal into one of the most significant academic conversations and learning experiences of my career. Ever since, I have been fortunate to look to Pete as a mentor and friend. While I do not see this particular book as his more seminal contributions, it had a huge impact on my own career. The workshop from which this book emanated took place in Loughborough, UK, and was organized by Pete and David Unwin in a brilliant way that promoted exchange of ideas and sparked creativity. A young scholar at the time, I got to interact with some of the best and most innovative thinkers in my field. I also learned the importance of quality accommodation, plenty of breaks and good food for a successful meeting! Sadly, Pete passed away 2014, but his legacy lives strong in the work he produced and the lives he touched. Jennifer AldrinkAssociate Professor - ClinicalSurgeryCollege of Medicine

Christina A. ArnoldAssociate Professor - ClinicalPathologyCollege of Medicine Selected: Christina Arnold, Dora Lam-Himlin, and Elizabeth Montgomery. Atlas of Gastrointestinal Tract Pathology : A Pattern Based Approach to Non-Neoplastic Biopsies. Wolters Kluwer Health, 2014. I selected this book because I helped write it during my first year at The Ohio State University. This was possible because of the talented co-authors (soul sisters), Drs. Dora Lam-Himlin and Elizabeth Montgomery, and the support of the pathology department, including Dr. Wendy Frankel. I especially wanted to thank my little children, Madelyn and Jackson, for understanding the time commitment; I am excited that they now know that they can write books too! I thank my mom for teaching me to dream big, work hard, and never give up. Lastly, I thank my husband, Dr. Michael A. Arnold, for understanding the long writing sessions, selflessly pitching in, and being my best friend. I will forever be grateful for everything this book represents, including all the people who helped make it possible and all the opportunities that continue to unfold.

Anna M. BabelAssociate Professor with TenureSpanish and PortugueseCollege of Arts and Sciences Selected: Laura M. Ahearn. Invitations to Love : Literacy, Love Letters and Social Change in Nepal. University of Michigan, 2001. I took my first courses in Linguistic Anthropology as an undergraduate in Laura Ahearn’s classes at the University of South Carolina. I was captivated by the ideas and by the approach that she taught. In class, we read sections of the manuscript that would become this book, my first glimpse of the process of academic publishing. I later followed in her footsteps, first as a Peace Corps volunteer, then as a graduate student at the University of Michigan. When I started writing my own ethnography, I re-read her book as a model and found that it still encapsulated everything that I love about my discipline: empathy, affection for people and places, careful analysis of social systems, and political relevance. We have been in touch on and off as I continued with my career, but I will always be grateful for Laura’s role in my early academic life as a scholar, a role model, and a teacher.

Daniel J. Bachmann, MD, FACEPAssociate Professor - ClinicalEmergency MedicineCollege of Medicine Selected: Kristi L. Koenig and Carl H. Schultz, editors. Koenig and Schultz’s Disaster Medicine : Comprehensive Principles and Practices. Cambridge University Press, 2016. I selected this textbook because emergency preparedness starts at a personal level.

Laurie BelknapAssociate Professor - ClinicalBiomedical Education and AnatomyCollege of Medicine Selected: Benjamin Stone and Rosamund Stone Zander. The Art of Possibility. Harvard Business School Press, 2000. The Art of Possibility embodies the spirit of teaching and personal growth that I hope to inspire in my students, colleagues and patients. My hope is that for every child who feels they are not smart enough, not good enough, or not talented enough, there will be a teacher to inspire unique talents and natural curiosity by asking “What if?” My favorite chapter from this book is titled “Giving an A.” From the book, “Giving yourself an A is not about boasting or raising your self-esteem. It has nothing to do with reciting your accomplishments. The freely granted A lifts you off the success/failure ladder and spirits you away from the world of measurement into the universe of possibility. It is a framework that allows you to see all of who you are and be all of who you are, without having to resist or deny any part of yourself.”

The poem An Atlas of the Difficult World has stuck with me since I purchased this book as a teenager when it was new. Every time I read it, I am struck by something different, although I come back to this line: “A patriot is one who wrestles for the soul of her country as she wrestles for her own being...”

Advances in Veterinary Dermatology : Proceedings of the Sixth World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology, Hong Kong 19-22 November 2008. Wiley-Blackwell, 2010. I selected this book as it contains the manuscripts from the Proceedings of the Sixth World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology, which was held in Hong Kong, November 19-22, 2008. This Congress is held every four years, in lieu of any other veterinary dermatology meeting, of which veterinary dermatologists from around the world meet. At each Congress, there are multiple dermatologic themes and at this Congress I was bestowed the highest honor of being invited to give the state of the art lecture on the “Anatomy and Physiology of the Canine Ear” in the otology theme. Being recognized as a world leader in the field of veterinary otology was very humbling to me, and has strengthened my desire to continue to strive to achieve all I can in the field of veterinary otology for the welfare of all animals.

Adriana T. DawesAssociate Professor with TenureMathematicsCollege of Arts and Sciences Selected: R. Murray Schafer. The Sixteen Scribes. Arcana Editions, 1981. I chose this book because the tale is a reminder to be critical of all information, both incoming and outgoing. This choice is in honour of Karen Dawes, one of the scribes, as well as my mother and my greatest champion, who passed away on May 23, 2017. David C. DeAndreaAssociate Professor with TenureSchool of CommunicationCollege of Arts and Sciences Selected: Charles Pavitt. The Philosophy of Science and Communication Theory. Nova Science Publishers, 2001. My master’s degree advisor, Charlie Pavitt, is the author of my selection, The Philosophy of Science and Communication Theory. As the required text for my first graduate level theory course, it introduced me to the history of scientific inquiry and communication scholarship. It would have been easy to be overwhelmed by the depth and complexities of the topics this book so expertly covers. However, Charlie, the epitome of humility, informed us that our minds were simply blocks in need of granulation and that our job was to have “huge fun.” At the time, I wasn’t sure what he meant by the whole mind granulation thing, but he didn’t take himself too seriously, so I didn’t take things too seriously, and I’ve been having huge fun ever since. Thanks Charlie.

J. Mark Erbaugh, PhDProfessorOSUE County OperationsCollege of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Selected: Ester Boserup. The Conditions of Agricultural Growth : The Economics of Agrarian Change Under Population Pressure. Aldine Transaction, 2005. Stimulating agricultural growth in the largely agrarian societies of sub-Saharan Africa has been a focus of my career while at The Ohio State University. An important strategy for fostering agricultural-led economic development in Africa has been accelerating the use of improved agricultural technologies. Boserup, in her seminal book on the conditions of agricultural growth, was one of the first to note the relationship between population growth and the concept of agricultural land-use intensification. The transition of African farming systems from extensive to more intensive systems is now supported by a considerable body of evidence; that intensification has not led to technological change; and improved productivity has stimulated agricultural research and policy discussions that continue to this day. This is why I have selected this pioneering work for my bookplate.

Kyle EzellProfessor - ClinicalKnowlton School of ArchitectureCollege of Engineering Selected: Charles B. Hitchcock, Special Consulting editor. These United States : Our Nation’s Geography, History and People. Reader’s Digest Association, 1968. THIS BOOK IS MAGIC. My dad put me on his lap in 1973, opened the pages of this book, and that was it! In love at first sight at only five years old, I lost myself in vivid maps drawn using a colorful, groovy (and innovative) late 1960s graphics style. I couldn’t get enough of the glorious charts, hand-made infographics (some constructed with clay), and stunning photos of cities and states. Everyone in my life knew that my “Blue Book” was the focus of many years of project ideas throughout my childhood. I carried it around. It stimulated my play which included memorizing city and town populations, drawing thousands of cities on hundreds of poster boards, and comparing place-based statistics. (Yes, I was a strange child, but knew what I loved to do.) These United States is the reason I became hooked on geography at such an early age and it is why I am a professor of City and Regional Planning. I am thrilled that my beloved “Blue Book” has a home forever on the shelves of The Ohio State University Library. Open it up. See what I see?

Molly J. FarrellAssociate Professor with TenureEnglishCollege of Arts and Sciences Selected: Sylvia Federici. Caliban and the Witch : Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation. Autonomedia, 2004. I selected this book because Federici and I share a research interest in the development of population science in the early modern period, and how this interest in counting human communities changed the way people, especially women, felt about their bodies. This book challenges and inspires me to keep thinking systemically and writing bravely about the intersections of gender, colonialism, and capitalism in the past and our present moment.

GirthAssociate Professor with TenureJohn Glenn College of Public Affairs Selected: Dwight Waldo. The Administrative State : A Study of the Political Theory of American Public Administration. Transaction Publishers, 2007. Dwight Waldo asked “Efficiency for what?” He argued that public servants have an obligation to not only pursue efficiency, but also to uphold and protect democratic and constitutional values. The book was published in 1948, yet its arguments remain current as we continue to wrestle with administration reforms that intend to run government-like business.

Jonathan GodboutProfessorNeuroscienceCollege of Medicine Selected: George R. R. Martin. A Dance with Dragons - A Song of Fire and Ice. Bantam Books, 2011. A Dance with Dragons is a sci-fi novel that is in part an epic tale of fierce competition to sit on the King’s throne. This represents the ultimate game of survival. First, I enjoy the escape of reading science fiction novels. Second, I relate to the A Song of Ice and Fire series because it reminds me that scientific training is a long and competitive journey in which you meet many characters and learn myriad life lessons. My personal expedition of growth and survival from a young undergraduate researcher in biology to a Professor of Neuroscience has been both challenging and enriching. My story, like Martin’s Ice and Fire story, continues and I expect that there will be many twists and turn ahead. While I have no intention of being a King; I have every intention of furthering scientific knowledge and discovery to the best of my ability.

Karen GoodellProfessorEvolution, Ecology and Organismal BiologyCollege of Arts and Sciences Selected: Bernd Heinrich. Bumblebee Economics. Harvard University Press, 2004. As a young student, Bernd Heinrich’s engaging writing drew me into the world of bumble bees and challenged me to think like a bee. His treatment of natural history of colony life, temperature regulation, physiology of flight, foraging, and bumble bee rearing guide were foundational to my early academic development. As an established ecologist, his book continues to be relevant, offering keen observations of bumble bee colony life, meticulous details of bee energy economy, and the cohesive conceptual framework of ecological economics. This richness of information, so elegantly expressed, will continue to inspire students and scientists.

training at Ohio State and foray into academia, undoubtedly, played a pivotal role in my own career choice. It is a happy coincidence that I have been able to spend my professional career at Ohio State. Thanks Professor Greenbaum! Jim GregoryProfessorMechanical and Aerospace EngineeringCollege of Engineering Selected: James W. Gregory, PhD. The Science of Flight. Great Courses, 2017. It was a joy and challenge to produce this lecture series, which is targeted to a broad audience. I love sharing the fundamental principles of flight, and hope that this course will entice aspiring students to study the wonderful field of aerospace engineering. I’d like to dedicate this lecture series to the many OSU students who have shaped my thinking by asking questions full of curiosity and wonder.

Metin N. GurcanProfessorBiomedical InformaticsCollege of Medicine Selected: Liron Pantanowitz and Anil V. Parwani, editors. Digital Pathology. ASCP, 2017. Digital Pathology is a field that is going to grow tremendously in the near future. I have been one of the leading contributors to this field, starting and chairing the first SPIE Digital Pathology Conference and several related meetings over the years. This book is edited by two good friends, Drs. Pantanowitz and Parwani. I contributed Chapter 9, on Image Analysis, a field that I am passionate about, and have dedicated almost 25 years of my life. There are many ways to make a positive impact on healthcare: informatics research is one of them. Informatics has emerged as a branch of medicine that will drastically change the way that medicine is practiced today. I am proud to be a contributor to this field and proud to be a Professor of Biomedical Informatics at The Ohio State University.

Tanya R. Gure, MDAssociate Professor - ClinicalInternal MedicineCollege of Medicine Selected: Shawn Stewart Ruff. Finlater. First edition. Quote Editions, 2008. I learned the importance of being disciplined and dedicated to what you love from my brother, Shawn. He has been a central guiding force in my life since childhood. At every stage of my life, I’ve witnessed the ways that he worked daily to hone his creativity and master the craft of writing: generating the idea, constructing the narrative, draft after draft until he arrived closer to what he wants us as readers to understand about humanity, and his truth. Shawn taught me that creative inspiration comes from repetition and creating a rhythm around the work about which you are most passionate. As a Geriatrician and researcher, I am directly inspired by him to do what matters daily in order to create my best work.

Bernadette HanlonAssociate Professor with TenureKnowlton School of ArchitectureCollege of Engineering Selected: Henri Lefebvre. The Urban Revolution. University of Minnesota Press, 2003. I selected this book because it is a classic in the field of urban theory and urban studies, and has certainly influenced my own thinking about cities and space. Originally published in 1970, this book highlights Lefebvre’s deep recognition of what he refers to as the “complete urbanization of society,” an occurrence we see today with profound impacts on our way of life.

Ayesha Khalid HasanProfessor - ClinicalInternal MedicineCollege of Medicine Selected: Jhumpa Lahiri. The Namesake. Mariner, 2004.

Armando E. HoetProfessorVeterinary Preventive MedicineCollege of Veterinary Medicine Selected: Benjamin Ginsberg. The Fall of the Faculty : The Rise of the All-Administrative University and Why It Matters. Oxford University Press, 2011. As I become a full professor today, I see with melancholic remembrance and sadness how the university is becoming more and more a corporation rather than an academic institution, where once the faculty were the center of ideas and innovation, as well as the brainpower behind all the decisions in our university. Today, the faculty member has just become another employee of the university, a working bee, a number, who only needs to bring grant money, teach some classes, do as he/she is told and stay silent; existing only to serve the ever-growing administration and not the students, science, or society…It is indeed sad to see the “Fall of the Faculty, and the Rise of the all mighty Administration”…

It is about scientific rigor and honesty, but also about personal bravery. Relevant to all times and all nations. I read it when I was a teenager and was inspired.

This book is the starting point of my academic journey – all the way back to my first research project, covering my dissertation and leading up to today. I remember the day my advisor, Gal Zauberman, gave me this book and told me to read up if I wanted to study temporal matters. It ended up initiating my first research idea and became the resource I referenced countless times as I wrote my dissertation. Even today, my research can be tracked back to this book – even when it is not formally cited. For me, this book is where one should go if they want to understand time, time perception, time preference, time discounting or time consumption. Although hundreds of papers and many other books have been written since, Choice Over Time is the only book that transports the reader back to when research on intertemporal issues started and how they evolved.

The most impactful book for my academic career is entitled The Difference: How the Power of Diversity Creates Better Groups, Firms, Schools, and Societies, by Scott Page, PhD, Professor of Complex Systems, Political Science and Economics at “The School Up North”, provides scientific proof that diversity is super-additive and necessary when attempting to solve complex problems, e.g. health and health care inequities. In my roles of Chief Diversity Officer for the OSU Wexner Medical Center and Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion for the OSU College of Medicine this reframing of diversity and inclusion shifts the paradigm to a focus on excellence and innovation which helps to leapfrog institutional and personal biases.

Pierce Anderson PaulProfessorPlant PathologyCollege of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Selected: Jared M. Diamond. Guns, Germs and Steel : The Fates of Human Societies. First edition. W. W. Norton & Co., 1999. Guns, Germs and Steel is a well-written and well-organized book on an important and often controversial subject. I selected this title because it addresses a question that I have had in a way that appeals to me as a scientist. Like the author, I have always wondered why and how human societies end up being so vastly different economically. And like the author, I have never been satisfied with explanations based on racial or intellectual superiority. The author uses compelling arguments and examples to support his theories regarding the role of the environment and the influence of plant and animal domestication on the development of societies

Professor Jeanine ThompsonProfessorTheatreCollege of Arts and Sciences Selected: Valerie Bochenek. Le Mime Marcel Marceau. Somogy, 1996. For twenty years, I was Marcel Marceau’s student. I learned the importance of the embodiment of thought and emotion in every movement. I learned his styles of choreography that poetically express symbolic and narrative storytelling through the body. I received his direction on my performances and choreography. I was mentored by him in teaching his technique and producing his workshops in the U.S., including here at OSU. I was honored to see him perform many times and teach our students during residencies at OSU. This biography shows his career as an artist and his heroism in standing up to the Nazis in the French Underground during WWII. He saved many children’s lives by altering their birth certifications and helping them escape Nazi France. Marcel Marceau shared his silent art form with the world, which was universally understood and enjoyed. He led an extraordinary life. I hope you enjoy his autobiography.

Joel WainwrightProfessorGeographyCollege of Arts and Sciences Selected: Kojin Karatani. The Structure of World History : From Modes of Production to Modes of Exchange. Duke University Press, 2014. The Structure of World History offers a profound and original argument about world history. Karatani argues that Marxists must shift our object of historical analysis from modes of production to modes of exchange. This requires finishing the critique of Marx’s base-superstructure metaphor and recentering our analysis on four distinct modes of exchange that have structured historical social formations. This claim is inherently geographical: it presupposes a theory of spatial form and has implications for our theory of world history. Karatani shows that exchange relations are definitively geographical insofar as they emerge out of spatial differences which assume certain distinct forms and give rise to the dominant spatial and political expressions of power that define our world: nation, state, and capital. To grasp their possible transcendence requires an explanation of their existence (for which the base-superstructure metaphor was always inadequate).

Elizabeth WeiserProfessorEnglishCollege of Arts and Sciences Selected: M. Elizabeth Weiser. Museum Rhetoric : Building Civic Identity in National Spaces. Pennsylvania State University Press, 2017. I selected this book because its decade of research and writing introduced me to a new field of study--museology- -and new international colleagues, and it challenged me to be a better writer and to push my field of rhetoric in a new transdisciplinary direction that I hope will inspire further collaborative efforts. It also took me around the world to six continents and showed me in divisive times how much humanity shares similar hopes and dreams and similarly values kindness and the hand of friendship.
