Professor Betül Başaran was invited to attend the international conference on the Balance of Justice in the Ottoman Empire, where she talked about her research on intercultural sexual intimacy and mixed marriages among foreigners and Ottoman women in the early modern era. Her paper entitled "Actors and Agents in Murky Legal Waters" emphasized women's agency in such relationships, and their ability to bargain with patriarchy to attain short-term advantages.

Professor of Psychology Elizabeth Nutt-Williams and colleagues recently published an article entitled "Cultivating Authentic Leaders: Toward Conceptual Coherence and Sustainable Practice" in The Journal of Values-Based Leadership. In addition, Professor Williams was elected to her second three-year term on the American Psychological Association's (APA) Council of Representatives.
