Farha Ternikar, Ph.D., of the Department of Anthropology, Criminology and Sociology has been named a Visiting Scholar at the Chatham University Women's Institute. In addition to her work at Le Moyne, Ternikar helped create the Central New York Gender and Women’s Studies consortium, a new working group funded by a Mellon Foundation Central New York Humanities corridor grant.
