Helen Foster Snow Course Development
Full text linkThe purpose of this development project is to create a three-credit course that introduces Modern China, as well as the life and legacy of Helen Foster Snow and her contributions to Chinese/American relations. Through Helen’s example, students will learn how they can make constructive contributions to society, influence positive change, and ultimately become a bridge of understanding between countries and cultures. This project is a collaborative effort between multiple universities and the Helen Foster Snow Foundation in Utah. The course is mainly designed for Southern Utah University. Still, it will also be offered at Southern Utah University (SUU), Brigham Young University (BYU), Northwest University in Xi’an, China, or any other institutes of interest concurrently.
This course will be published in Canvas Commons as a public domain course to be free for all Utah’s higher education institutions. Besides choosing what units they need, these institutes may also contribute to adding new content to the course. Though we developed this course into an online course that encourages students’ independent study, it can also be adapted into a blended or face-to-face course, depending on the institute’s needs. The whole project is being completed in two phases. My Ph.D. development project primarily focuses on the first phase, in which we have finished developing the main body of the course by applying the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). In the second phase, we will work on filming video presentations and summative evaluation of this course

American Self-Fashioning in Helen Foster Snow's My China Years.
Full text linkIn My China Years: A Memoir, Helen Foster Snow draws upon her Puritan roots in fashioning an American self that affirms the power of an individual exemplary life, the ability to exercise free will amid struggle, an optimism borne of hope, and a way to represent failure and success. Self-fashioning, which Stephen Greenblatt attributes to the rise of an autonomous self in early modern Europe, is shaped by Snow as a distinctly American identity based on a secular Puritanism she found more congenial than the Puritanism of her ancestors on both sides of the Atlantic. The many resemblances noted by Snow between the Chinese Communist Army and seventeenth-century English Puritanism led her to interrogate Puritanism, both in its traditional form and its secularised variant. What emerges in the pages of My China Years is an attempt to fashion an American self by negotiating an old Puritanism with the new by way of a triangulation with China
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
