CIEE Announces Staff Changes
CIEE Study Center in Santiago, Dominican Republic
Beginning with the fall 2004 program, Dr. Lynne Guitar
will be the CIEE Resident Director in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
Dr. Guitar earned an M.A. in History in 1994 and a Ph.D in Colonial
Latin American History and Anthropology in 1998 at Vanderbilt
University. She has taught courses at both Vanderbilt University
and Florida International University. Her research interest focuses
on Dominican culture from its origins among the Taíno Indians,
African and Spaniards in the 15th and 16th centuries through
the modern day. She has extensive experience in the Dominican
Republic having visited the island in 1986 to research a historical
novel, again in 1992 as a summer exchange student at PUCMM, and
as a Fulbright Fellow in 1997 to complete her doctoral work.
For the past six years, she has been a history and literature
professor at the American School of Santo Domingo. In addition,
she has been an educational guide of the Colonial Zone in Santo
Domingo, Santo Cerro and Concepción de la Vega for student groups,
including participants of our CIEE Study Center in Santiago,
Dominican Republic.
Dr. Kimberly Eison Simmons, CIEE Resident Director,
will be leaving her post on July 1, 2004. Kimberly has accepted
a tenure-track position in the Anthropology and African American
Studies departments at the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
She will continue to do research in the Dominican Republic on
racial identity formation, gender, social class, and social change
and hopes to publish a book manuscript of her dissertation, " Reconfiguring
Dominicanness: Competing Discourses Surrounding Race, Nation,
and Identity in the Dominican Republic". Kimberly's enthusiasm,
friendly nature and genuine interest in student welfare have
been admired by both students and colleagues alike. CIEE would
like to recognize and thank Kimberly for her efforts to grow
and continually improve the program over the past four years.
CIEE is pleased that Dr. David Simmons will continue
to be the Resident Director of the summer public health program
in Santiago. For more information on the CIEE Study Center
