Ph.D., 2007, Princeton University

Professor Neville specializes in the history of Northern European architecture and art, focusing on the multiple centers of Germanic culture after the Thirty

Years War (1618-1648). His dissertation focused on the notable Swedish architect, Nicodemus Tessin the Elder. His work examines the spread of

Germanic culture in the period of the Thirty Years’ War which displaced many German artists, including Tessin. Rather than a period of decline, Neville sees it as an era of the resurgence of Germanic culture that occurred in “marginal”

places such as Copenhagen and Stockholm, and he is concerned to bring to light the contributions of these distant hubs.

Susan OssmanProfessor of Anthropology

Ph.D., 1991, University of California, Berkeley

Professor Ossman comes to UCR from Goldsmith’s College, University of London, where she directed the MA in Transnational Communications and Global

Media. Professor Ossman has developed innovative approaches for comparative transnational research in her own work and as the director of several collaborative

international research initiatives. She explored the interplay of global media forms, politics and urban life in Picturing Casablanca, Portraits of Power in a

Modern City (1994) and proposed theories of transnational social connection in Three Faces of Beauty: Casablanca, Paris, Cairo (2002). The Places We Share, Migration, Subjectivity and Global Mobility (2007) is a collection of essays on

Jeffrey SacksAssistant Professor of Comparative Literature and Foreign LanguagesPh.D., 2006, Columbia University

Professor Sacks’ research interests include comparative literature, Arabic literature and culture, postcolonial studies, psychoanalysis, poetry and poetics, and the relations among violence, mourning, and loss. He is completing a book manuscript which addresses the relations among literature and mourning in modern Arabic and Arab Jewish letters, entitled “Opening Figures,” and he is working on a book which traces figures of indebtedness in literature, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. Professor Sacks has previously taught at Columbia University, New York University, and the New School University in New York City.

Todd SorensenAssistant Professor of EconomicsPh.D., 2007, University of Arizona

Professor Sorensen’s primary areas of research are in labor economics and applied microeconomics. His recent work focuses on issues surrounding Mexican migration to the United States. In his thesis, he modeled how undocumented migrants choose their border crossing location. He found that a localized increase in enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico border does indeed affect the crossing decisions made by migrants, but that a significant proportion of migrants deterred from crossing in one area will continue to cross into the U.S. through an alternative location. Professor Sorensen also studies issues related to sentencing equity in the U.S. criminal justice system.
