Visiting scholar examines language changes in northern New Mexico February 04, 2020
Gorman is an assistant professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Arizona and serves as director of the Spanish as a Heritage Language Program, the largest in the nation. Gorman’s research centers on what she describes as “ethno-linguistic contact zones.” Her work seeks to understand how present-day Mexican immigration is shaping language use and identity across the Southwest and in New Mexico in particular. While at UNM, she’ll work to complete her book manuscript, Ethnolinguistic Contact Zones: U.S. Latina/o Identities and Language among Mexican-Nuevomexicanos in northern New Mexico. By utilizing resources at UNM, Gorman plans to engage in additional ethnographic data collection.

UNM professor honored by book dedication
UNM professor honored by book dedication
In the introduction of the book, his European colleagues wrote, “One of the high points of the conference was the thematic session organized in honor of Prof. Lawrence Guy Straus, whose seminal and extensive work on the Solutrean adaptations in Northern Iberia has strongly influenced all developments in LGM studies across Iberia and beyond. Prof. Straus is now retired, but we hope that he can keep contributing for many years with his invaluable insights on the Late Pleistocene adaptations in Western Europe. He authored the first chapter of this book, and we gratefully dedicate the whole volume to him and his remarkable career.”

UNM associate professor studies the neurological origin of pleasure
UNM associate professor studies the neurological origin of pleasure
Associate Professor James Cavanagh’s research, funded by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, seeks to identify a consistent quantifiable indicator of anhedonia, or the inability to feel pleasure. Cavanagh believes that he has found an observable neurological phenomenon, known as Reward Positivity (RewP), which indicates the occurrence of this reward process. A reduced or absent RewP response to normally rewarding stimuli, he hypothesizes, indicates anhedonia. Throughout this research, Cavanagh and his team will use UNM Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC) resources to process the data they collect.

Distinguished Professor lives by the ‘Golden Rule’
It’s fair to say that Lawrence Straus has made his mark in the anthropological world with his share of incredible discoveries during an illustrious academic career spanning nearly five decades. [H]is research in the anthropological world has only been equaled by his work as an advisor, mentor and professor to thousands of students during the course of his incredible 44-year career at UNM including three years as a working retiree. Now, a group of former students and colleagues has honored Straus with a Festschrift, a collection of articles titled, Recent advances in quaternary prehistory: Papers in honor of Lawrence Guy Straus, published by Quaternary International.
