The faculty and staff at Stockton are extremely collaborative and genuine. I truly enjoy working with my colleagues on new initiatives and projects. I look forward to the amazing things happening here.   

 

Professional History

After a successful career at Verizon Communications, I am enjoying a second career in higher education.

 

Education & Training

During my career in the telecommunications industry, my responsibilities included managing associates and achieving results in a team-based environment.  Professional training included management and leadership skills development in a changing business environment.  I am also trained in the development and delivery of customer service training in both face to face and technology-based environments.

 

What I like most about South Jersey

Living in South Jersey gives us the best of both worlds.  We are within commuting distance of several major metropolitan areas on the East Coast and also enjoy the relative calm of rustic America.

Education & Training

What I like most about South Jersey

I love South Jersey's Pine Barrens, creeks, and beaches, as well as its relative nearness to Philly and NYC. I grew up in this area and it will always be home to me.

 

One of my favorite experiences at Stockton University

My favorite experience, easily, is working with new students as they choose their first semester of courses during Orientation before the start of every semeser. I love helping our majors find courses they're interested in that will also allow them to learn new skills and meet their degree requirements.

 

Professional History

My career began at Stockton in 2012.  Since then I have worked in ARHU, helping the school and its multiple programs.  My responsibilities have increased and I have enjoyed writing, editing, planning, and goal setting.  One aspect of my job that I have particularly enjoyed is creating calendars that show monthly events; it is a great opportunity for creativity and collaboration.

Professional History

Prior to Stockton, I had a 20-year career with AT&T in Central Jersey.  Primary responsibilities included data analysis, database management, business planning and budgeting, and project support.  Corporate downsizing and a personal move to South Jersey had me looking for a new career.  Stockton’s need for a new financial person in the School of Arts & Humanities was a perfect fit.  After 12 years in the role of budget support, a recent move to administrative support within ARHU was a refreshing change.

 

Education & Training

Many years ago, I graduated with a degree in Secretarial Science.  As technology moved from manual typewriters to computers to cell phones to tablets to the cloud, etc., I continually adapted to ever-changing technologies.  Fully understanding and utilizing tools needed to complete a task has allowed me to provide exceptional support to peers and create a vision for efficiencies.

 

What I like most about South Jersey

South Jersey offers convenient access to the beaches for relaxation, rest, and tranquility.  The proximity to Atlantic City, Philadelphia, and NYC allows for diverse entertainment, food, energy, and things to do. 

 

One of my favorite experiences at Stockton University

Oh, so many!  I enjoy watching students walk on campus as a freshman and then down the aisle of Boardwalk Hall for commencement; seeing an ARHU event come together after of months of preparation; being part of a team whose objective is to streamline processes.  The end of a fiscal year is also a great time as it allows us to reflect on our successes and to get a fresh start for a new year.

STATEMENT OF PEDAGOGY

“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” To me, these words by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato (428 BC – 348 BC) resonate as truly and with as much strength today as they must have when they were first uttered over two thousand years ago. As the quintessential universal language, I believe that music has a profound effect on both mind and spirit. Music has an ability to express who we were, what we are, and what we can become. It picks up where words leave off and has the unique ability to unify people by transcending cultural boundaries and physical borders. If “a picture is worth a thousand words,” similarly, musical sound conveys a thousand images and expresses a seemingly endless multitude of emotions and innermost feelings. Indeed, I can think of no other art form that endeavors to elevate the human condition to ever-higher planes through a conscious manifestation of the subconscious. Whether teaching in the classroom or performing in the concert hall, it is a genuine privilege and my greatest pleasure to share my deep passion for music with those poised to listen.

In 2012-2013, he was a nEW Festival Artist-in-Residence, a Dance USA/Philadelphia Polish Exchange Artist, a PEW Fellowship Nominee, and a “Rocky” Award Recipient.   Most recently, he was a recipient of the Ellen Forman Memorial Award from Drexel University and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Project Stream Grant. 

As a performer, Beau has had the pleasure to work with Ben Munisteri Dance Projects, Kathy Dunn Hamrick Dance Company, Douglas Dunn and Dancers, Merian Soto/Performance Practice, Nichole Canuso Dance Company, Bronwen MacArthur Dance Project, Kun-Yang Lin and Dancers, Subcircle, Miro Dance Theatre, and <fidget/Megan Bridge>. 

Beau has previously taught at Temple University, Rowan University, Muhlenberg College, and Franklin and Marshall College.

At the core of her scholarship and pedagogy is the critical consideration of pre- and post-conflict discourses with attention to media, politics, popular thought and public memory. Her work centers mainly on the 1990s wars in the former Yugoslavia, with some attention to the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, the Khmer Rouge Genocide in Cambodia, the Genocide of Guatemala’s Maya, and the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa. Her past projects considered the impacts of Serbian historical narratives, as they are embedded within a range of public discourses, on the normalization of violence that accompanied the 1990s wars in the former Yugoslavia. Her current research considers the impacts of historical narratives on post-war discourses and the extent to which they influence regional sustainable stability and social repair. She is presently working on a book – a ten-year longitudinal study focusing on public memory and the Srebrenica Genocide. The study critically analyzes the ways in which locally-originating grassroots civil society organizations in Serbia and Bosnia are affecting post-conflict transition through carefully crafted, consciously counter-hegemonic, vernacular rhetorical strategies deployed in public space.

Her first book, Democratic Art: The New Deal’s Influence on American Culture (University of Chicago Press, 2015) traces a range of aesthetic visions that flourished during the 1930s to outline the successes, shortcomings, and lessons of the golden age of government funding for the arts. Her current book project, Americans Abroad: Hadassah Kaplan, Zionism, and the Making of American-Jewish Women, uses her grandmother’s archive to explore the coming of age of a young American Jewish woman in the early twentieth century in a story that foreshadows the emerging special relationship between American Jews and Israel. She has written book chapters in The Oxford Handbook of the African American Slave Narrative (Oxford University Press, 2014), Interpreting American History: The New Deal and the Great Depression (Kent State University Press, 2014), and The Case against Academic Boycotts of Israel (Wayne State Press, 2014). She has also published articles and reviews in American Quarterly, American Studies Journal, Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Jewish Journal of Sociology, Network: A Journal of Faculty Development, The Academe Blog, and Times of Israel. She teaches the US history survey as well as courses on 1930s America, American Jewish women, identity, motherhood, and American Studies. She was the founding director of Stockton’s Master of Arts in American Studies.

 Her current book project, Cadaver Poetics: Surgery and the Body in Nineteenth Century Literature examines transatlantic texts of the period that engage conceptually with contemporaneous developments in surgical practice, revealing a radical cultural shift in the definition of the human body. Her chapter “Gray Matters: Social Violence and the Victorian Surgical Textbook” appears in Embodied Difference: Divergent Bodies in Public Discourse, an edited collection of interdisciplinary scholarship.

In her poetry, Professor August uses the framework of medicine to explore a centuries-long family legacy of domestic violence. Representing the body in various states of anatomical duress, her poems investigate how violence is learned, inherited, and passed down, both interpersonally and societally, and how the body records the traumas to which it is subjected. Her poem “The Healer” was a finalist for Southern Humanities Review’s Auburn Witness Poetry Prize, appearing in the fall 2016 issue. Other poems have appeared in Missouri Review, Ninth Letter, Callaloo, Hayden’s Ferry Review,Quarterly West, and other journals.

RESEARCH IN PROGRESS

Holton, Adalaine. Counter Archives: The Politics of Knowledge Production in the Black Atlantic.

This book project is a study of the production, use, and dissemination of archives and archival materials in black political activism of the early to mid 20th century. In particular, I consider the ways in which black radical intellectuals challenge conventional understandings of the form and function of the archive by engaging in experimental archival projects. These projects include physical collections of documents and cultural artifacts, as well as figurative repositories of historical memories and the practices of remembering, cataloging, and disseminating historical knowledge.

STATEMENT OF PEDAGOGY

Teaching philosophy is to teach apprenticeships in creativity. It is an honor to be able to share the passion for philosophical investigations in a well-structured historical approach, and to guide and inspire students in their journey into ways of thinking and the ways of life. There is no greater pleasure than to see the birth of the pleasure in reflection.

Professional History

Prior to joining the Theatre program at Stockton University, I was one of the founders and producing artistic director for a non-profit theatre company in Upstate New York. I was also the resident scenic and costume designer for the theatre company and on occasion I would direct a production. While living in upstate New York, I was an adjunct faculty member for the Theatre department at Siena College in Loudonville. Before moving upstate, I lived in Brooklyn, New York and was a freelance designer working the Manhattan theater-scape. My professional theatre design credits in New York City included designing the costumes for the Pre-Broadway Tour of Mario Fratti’s Encounter 500…Cristoforo Colombo and designing the scenery for Gifts from the Attic starring the legendary film actor Mickey Rooney. Off-Broadway credits include The Writing on the Wall, The First Time, Guadeloupe, and the musical Rainbow with Tony Award winning actress Debbie Shapiro.  My scenic design for the Off-Broadway production of Annie Wobbler earned mention and praise in the New York Times review of the show. Early in my New York City career, I served as Resident Designer for St. Bart’s Playhouse in midtown Manhattan and The Westbeth Theater Center in the Village. I have also designed scenery and costumes for various Regional Theaters in New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

What I most like about South Jersey

My mother was born and raised in North Jersey, Elizabeth, during the depression years of the last century. When she always spoke of the “good ole days,” one of her fondest memories was her family driving down to South Jersey for the summer. She loved visiting South Jersey where she said all the farmlands produced the freshest fruits and vegetables. When I moved to the state in 2010, I finally got to experience the “Garden State” that she so fondly spoke of, and I must say, she was right! I am so fortunate to be able to enjoy such fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables throughout the year, right here in South Jersey. 

 

One of my favorite experiences at Stockton University

My most treasured experience at Stockton University is mentoring, guiding, and teaching student designers journey through the design process, from inception to fruition. My artistry enhances and supports my teaching, and my teaching fulfills my artistic passion and allows me to pass it on to my students. I consider my design and technical direction work in the professional field as vital to my success as a teacher; whereupon I share my experiences with the design students. I also consider my teaching as an inspiration for my professional work. I am blessed to have this opportunity at Stockton University.
