Adjunct
Areas of Interest: Demography and Qualitiative Methodology. Professor Avery is currently conducting research projects in the U.S. and in developing countries. His research focuses on fertility change, child health and mortality, disability, migration, methodological issues, elderly, and nestleaving. In addition, Prof. Avery is busy instructing trainees in methodology and the use of census data and is currently working on an Ethiopian census, is involved in a study of the demography of child disability and rehabilitation efforts, and beginning a project on the demography of childhood mortality.
 Adeline Becker
Adjunct
Professor Becker works in the areas of urban school reform, second language acquisition, bilingual education, first and second language literacy, and cross-cultural studies of language acquisition.
 William Beeman
Adjunct
Much of my research investigates the broad problem: How does human communication produce concrete effects on individuals and social systems? This encompasses conventional linguistics, face-to-face interaction, therapeutic encounters, communication through art objects, as well as the more conventional expressive cultural forms found in the theater: acting, singing-acting, music and dance. It includes anthropology, the performing arts, linguistics, speech communication, the plastic arts, psychiatry and therapeutic encounter, law and political science.

 Robert Brandenberger
Adjunct
Research: Cosmology and Theoretical Particle Physics (studies of topological defect models of structure formation, investigations of conceptual problems of the inflationary Universe scenario, and analyses of the interplay between fundamental physics and cosmology). Professor Brandenberger joined the faculty of Brown University in 1987. A graduate of the ETH, Zuerich, Switzerland, he received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1983. He has done postdoctoral research at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara and at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge.

Dina Goldin's research work is in the following two (not-so-related) areas:

Efficient querying of non-traditional data: sensor network query systems, constraint and spatial databases, similarity queries for time-series data.

Models of interactive computation: Persistent Turing Machines, information systems, indirect interaction, models of coordination.

General topics of interest are computing paradigms, database models and query languages, and algorithms.

 Marsha Posusney
Adjunct
My current research involves the interaction between international organizations and domestic political forces in the enactment of labor market reforms in the Arab countries of the Middle East, and their relation to political reforms. I am looking into labor market flexibilization - which refers to the retraction of regulations affectging hiring and firing, and wages and working conditions - and the adoption of internationally recongized labor standards which includes the freedom of association, and prohibitions on child labor, forced labor, and employment discrimination.
 Janet Rankin
Engineering, Division of
Adjunct
Rankin's research interests lie in the energetics of interfaces in fine-scale nano- and microstructures. Her group is currently investigating the sintering of nanoscale single crystals and stress evolution in CVD diamond & sol-gel derived TiO2 thin-films. Rankin utilizes in situ electron microscopy to investigate initial-stage sintering and particle coalescence in faceted ceramic oxide powders. Her studies have revealed details of the atomistics and dynamics of neck growth in faceted systems.
