Much of Dr. Stiver's research emerges from her work with her students, and frequently involves them. Her book, A Teacher's Guide to Change: Understanding, Navigating, and Leading the Process, to be published by Corwin Press in September 2009, was prompted by conversations with Marist graduates who are now mid-career teachers themselves. She has published on educational collaboration and co-teaching, and on building family support for inclusive classes in Intervention in School and Clinic, College and University Journal, and Teaching Exceptional Children. Dr. Stivers is the author of numerous teaching cases for the McGraw-Hill-Primis case collection, and has presented papers at dozens of local and national education conferences. Dr. Stivers came to Marist College following ten years as a special education teacher in Massachusetts and the Hudson Valley. She continues to draw on both her practical and academic experience as a consultant on curriculum and special education instruction to school districts throughout the region and to Northern Dutchess and Ulster County BOCES.

Dr. Rosen's research has focused on American women's political activism and social movements, particularly the history of the birth control movement in the early twentieth century. She is the author of Reproductive Health, Reproductive Rights: Reformers and the Politics of Maternal Welfare, 1917 - 1940, published by the Ohio State University Press, and the editor of a textbook in the field of Women's Studies entitled Women's Studies in the Academy: Origins and Impact published by Pearson/Prentice Hall. Additional publications include articles in Gender & History and the Journal of Women's History, along with an array of conference proceedings, book chapters, and reviews. Dr. Rosen's work in birth control history has more recently turned towards regional studies. Her latest study examines the Hudson Valley in the interwar years, posing questions about the relationship of Valley activists to their counterparts across the country, and offering a new framework for analyzing the impact of the Great Depression, the rise of the welfare state, and World War II on the history of the birth control movement. |
