When he was a young boy, William Wallace's father and brother, along with many others, lost their lives trying to free Scotland. Once he loses another of his loved ones, William Wallace begins his long quest to make Scotland free once and for all, along with the assistance of Robert the Bruce.

Women and the Vote: Lisa McClain in the News
Yesterday (October 28), the Idaho Statesman published an opinion piece co-written by Boise State University's Dr. Lisa McClain and Linda Basch, the president of the National Council for Research on Women. A teaser:
Women, who are being aggressively courted by both campaigns, have much at stake in this election. Now that attention has turned from lipstick to the economy, perhaps we can start a dialogue on what really matters to women voters in Idaho.

2007: A Good Year for the History Department
Since you asked, in 2007:
-- Joanne Klein's article "Traffic, Telephones and Police Boxes: The Deterioration of Beat Policing in Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester between the World Wars" appeared in Policing Interwar Europe: Continuity, Change, and Crisis, 1918-1940, edited by Gerald Blaney for Palgrave-MacMillan.
-- John Bieter published "Lorenzo's Letters: A Basque Immigrant's Story in the American West," in Judy Li, editor, A Sense of Place: Cultural Ecology in the American West (Oregon State University Press).
-- We hired a new Latin Americanist, Nicanor Dominguez, who received his doctorate from the University of Illinois and writes about seventeenth-century Peru. He will teach courses on a wide range of topics in Latin American history. He is also, and almost as importantly, a film lover.
-- Lisa Brady's article "Negotiating The Thin Red Line" appeared in April in Environmental History.
-- a Romanian edition of Charles Odahl's Constantine and the Christian Empire (originally published in 2004 by Routledge) was published. Odahl continues work on his study of Cicero.
-- Lynn Lubamersky published her article "The Status of Idaho Women Lawyers Today," in the The Advocate, the official publication of the Idaho State Bar.
-- Todd Shallat's Ethnic Landmarks, which examines Boise's multiethnic past, was published, as was Mobile Home Living In Boise, which was the product of a task force headed by Shallat.
-- Lisa McClain's article “’They have taken away my Lord’: Mary Magdalene, Christ’s Missing Body, and the Mass in Reformation England” was published in Sixteenth Century Journal XXXVIII/1 (2007): 77-96.
-- Nick Miller's The Nonconformists: Culture, Politics, and Nationalism in a Serbian Intellectual Circle, 1944-1991 (by Central European University Press) appeared; Miller also testified at the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia in September in the trial of Jadranko Prlic, et al.
