The workshop brought together 16 writers hoping to improve their skills and dazzle the publishing world with their stories of zombies, vampires, and living on the moon. These students of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, flew in from as far as Australia and Singapore, leaving behind their families and quitting their jobs to spend six weeks with Cavelos. They all hope to eventually be published authors. In this podcast with Jeanne Cavelos, she discusses the workshop, her students, science fiction, and the world of publishing.

Jonathan Acuff, assistant professor of politics, however, thinks Afghanistan, where the U.S. is committing more troops, is the better analogy with Vietnam. In this In Context interview, Professor Acuff explains why Afghan history, geography and population characteristics - as well as the troop strength of America and its allies - makes him think that way. Prof. Acuff recently appeared on New Hampshire Public Radio's The Exchange, where he discussed the new U.S. strategy in Afghanistan.

This is our second of two podcasts with professor Jay Pitocchelli; in our first podcast, he discusses his research and life in the field tracking the Mourning Warbler. On the Saint Anselm College campus, Jay Pitocchelli is known for his biology and ornithology classes. But off campus -- and among readers of his blog, www.anselm.edu/mourningwarblerblog -- he is known for his body of scholarly research on the Mourning Warbler. In our first podcast of this two-part series, Pitocchelli described the his research, travels, and innovative uses of technologies. In this podcast, he discusses the four regions of Mourning Warbler song that he has observed. His current research examines the birds' ability to identify Mourning Warblers from other dialects, or regiolects. He also let us listen to his audio recordings from each of the geographic and dialectic regions: Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Eastern, and Western.

This is our first of two podcasts with professor Jay Pitocchelli; in our second podcast, he discusses the four song and geographic regions of the Mourning Warbler. When nature shows the first signs of impending summer, migratory birds that have wintered in southern habitats begin growing fidgety and restless for the biannual journey northward. In his Goulet Science Center office, with a window overlooking the quad, biology professor Jay Pitocchelli experiences a similar sensation. Saint Anselm Collegersquo;s resident ornithologist packed his jeep this spring to continue his research on song variation in the Mourning Warbler. Pitocchelli, the preeminent expert on this olive-green and yellow warbler, named for its black bib and grey hood, has identified four regions with specific variations on the speciesrsquo; song. This summer alone, he has observed and tracked the Mourning Warbler in Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin, as well as the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. While he drives the estimated 4,000 miles by himself, he keeps students, colleagues, and family updated on his blog, www.anselm.edu/mourningwarblerblog. He also posts audio, digital video, and photos of flora and fauna. In this podcast, we asked him about his research, use of technology, and the art of bringing the two together in pursuit of science.

Dionne as a senior research fellow for the 2008 New Hampshire Primary, quickly deploying him to guest lecture in a number of classes. Dionne began his career in political journalism at The New York Times, where he wrote for 14 years. He then moved to The Washington Post in 1993, and has remained there since. Drafting a biweekly column that appears in more than 90 newspapers both in the United States and around the world, Dionne has penned several columns this fall from his office at the NHIOP. In addition to his duties at Saint Anselm College, Dionne is also a Brookings Institution senior research fellow and Georgetown University professor This podcast features a public lecture delivered by Dionne on November 5, 2007, that addresses the history of the New Hampshire Primary, and it's current role in American politics. Following his lecture, Dionne took a number of questions from the audience on topics including the affect that the lengthening campaign has on voters, the media, and the candidates themselves.

How about the feeling of always being stared at because you look so different? And could you eat food that you donrsquo;t even know how to pronounce? Saint Anselm History Professor Beth Salerno is having just this kind of experience in South Korea, where she is currently living and teaching as part of the Fulbright Scholar Program. In this podcast, we feature part one of a two-part phone interview with Professor Salerno from her home in South Korea. We discuss why she chose to go to South Korea and live within a culture so very different from her own, the tourist experiences she's had, and what the food is really like. She also tells me why she doesnrsquo;t always feel so far away from the United States when it comes to her students' choice of attire. Professor Salerno is blogging about her adventures in South Korea this entire academic year. She includes entries about her cultural experiences along with many photos documenting her life in Asia. You can access Professor Salernorsquo;s blog at www.anselm.edu/koreablog. Be sure to look out for part two of my interview where I ask Professor Salerno about living so close to North Korea, the Southrsquo;s views toward its northern neighbor, and the first thing she wants to do when she returns to the United States. Update: Part two of this interview is now available.

Her film, Vietnam Nurses With Dana Delaney, which originally aired on WE TV, was nominated for two awards: Outstanding Historical Programming - Long Form and for Outstanding Editing. She did not walk away disappointed, as her documentary received an Emmy award for editing. In this podcast, Professor Carson explains how she found out she was nominated for an Emmy, her experience attending the Emmy ceremony in New York City, and how her film connects with the college's mission. She believes there is relevance for current students, as most of the nurses in her film were the same age during their Vietnam service as today's college juniors and seniors. Professor Carson spent more than a decade researching the stories of Vietnam nurses. She felt it was important to make a documentary film to ensure that these stories would not be lost to history.

Bready Chair of Ethics, Economics, and the Common Good. This inaugural lecture, "The Role of Natural Law in a World of Religious and Political Diversity," will be delivered at 7 p.m. at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics. The college's first endowed chair was established by Trustee Richard Bready '65 in 2004 as part of the Campaign for Saint Anselm College. Bready's goal is to advance the scholarly work of the faculty and to uphold the college's mission in liberal arts education. Brown was appointed last year to the chair. In this podcast, we feature a recent interview with Professor Brown about philosophy and its application in our daily lives. He also discusses his work as the first Bready Chair at the college. Professor Brownrsquo;s published works include The One-Minute Philosopher [Sophia Institute Press 2001], Half-Truths: What's Right (And What's Wrong) With the Cliches You and I Live by [Sophia Institute Press 2003], and his most recent book, Restoration of Reason: The Eclipse and Recovery of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty [Baker Academic 2006].
