LYCOMING PROFESSOR AND ALUM CO-AUTHOR BOOK ON WAR IN IRAQ

Two members of the Lycoming College community have released a new book titled "Deployed: How Reservists Bear the Burden of Iraq." The book looks at the lives of military reservists deployed during the declared war on terror. Dr. Susan Ross, an associate professor of sociology and chair of the criminal justice department, and Dr. Michael Musheno, a 1969 Lycoming graduate and former visiting professor of justice and social policy, co-authored the book

Ross developed an interest in military sociology after seeing several Lycoming students deployed after the start of military activity in Afghanistan and Iraq. Ross kept in touch with these students and listened to their stories, concerns and thoughts, which inspired her and Musheno to write "Deployed."
