II. GUIDELINES FOR THESIS PROTOCOL

The protocol for a research proposal (including thesis) is a study plan, designed to describe the background, research question, aim and objectives, and detailed methodology of the study. In other words, the protocol is the ‘operating manual’ to refer to while conducting a particular study.

The minimum writing requirements are that the language should be clear, concise, precise and consistent without excessive adjectives or adverbs and long sentences. There should not be any redundancy in the presentation

 The development or preparation of the Thesis Protocol by the candidate will help her/him in understanding the ongoing activities in the proposed area of research. Further it helps in creating practical exposure to research and hence it bridges the connectivity between clinical practice and biomedical research. Such research exposure will be helpful in improving problem solving capacity, getting updated with ongoing research and implementing these findings in clinical practice.

 Research Ethics: Ethical conduct during the conduct and publication of research is an essential requirement for all candidates and guides, with the primary responsibility of ensuring such conduct being on the thesis guide. Issues like Plagiarism, not maintaining the confidentiality of data, or any other distortion of the research process will be viewed seriously. The readers may refer to standard documents for the purpose.

Bringing Advanced Surgical Care to the Palouse

Gritman general surgeons advancing compassionate expertise in new surgery practice.

As our region’s health system, we are proud at Gritman Medical Center to be growing in our ability to provide integrated care for you and the ones you love.

The addition of Gritman General Surgeons expands access to gastrointestinal (GI) scopes and surgeries for hernias and reflux disease. And with expertise in general, acute care and trauma surgery, Gritman General Surgeons is providing a higher level of coordinated care that’s close to home.

Our new general surgeons, Dr. Bryan Anderson and Dr. Brian Newell , are eager to provide an increased variety of general surgery options for Palouse-area patients, so members of the community don’t feel like they have to turn to far-away institutions to get the same care that’s provided in our community.

“That’s what I‘d hope to provide to those patients,” Dr. Anderson said.

Meet Our New General Surgeons

Dr. bryan anderson, m.d., facs.

Dr. Bryan Anderson

Dr. Anderson, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, joins Gritman as the next chapter in a flourishing general surgery career that launched more than 20 years ago in Idaho’s Treasure Valley.

Since beginning practice in 1999, Dr. Anderson’s specialties have encompassed everything from acute care, trauma surgery at Idaho’s largest trauma center, colorectal, endocrine, endoscopy as well as minimally invasive techniques for surgeries including hernia, upper GI and reflux disease. He’s joining us from Idaho’s Treasure Valley, where he held admitting privileges with both major Boise-area hospital systems—St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center and St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center.

His appointment at Gritman is a return to Moscow for Dr. Anderson, who received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Idaho before attending medical school at the University of Arizona and a general surgery residency at Michigan State University.

Dr. Anderson’s goal is to provide the most advanced general surgical care in a compassionate way that helps patients understand their condition and options for care–before and after surgery.

“As a surgeon, I love to operate, I love to see patients’ lives improved, take care of acute problems for them,” he said. “That’s something I’ve always enjoyed.”

A fan of professional cycling, soccer and the Idaho Vandals, Dr. Anderson also enjoys traveling with his wife, mountain biking, Xterra racing, backcountry skiing and trail running.

Dr. Brian Newell, M.D.

Dr. Brian Newell

Dr. Newell comes to Gritman from Pennsylvania, where he recently completed a residency program as Chief Resident in General Surgery from Wellspan York Hospital, a Johns Hopkins affiliate in pediatric and transplant surgeries.

He is returning to the region after amassing more than 1,500 surgery cases during his career, including hundreds of endoscopes.

Dr. Newell earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Brigham Young University and his M.D. from the University of Texas Houston Medical School. Prior to arriving at Wellspan York Hospital, he completed an internship at Case Western University Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio.

Dr. Newell lived in the Northwest and West most of his life prior to starting his medical training, where he helped foster a love of the outdoors and activities like hunting, biking, baseball and pickleball. Other interests include home renovation and singing as a family.

“I chose to be a true general surgeon able to take care of the broad surgical needs of a community,” Newell said. “I look forward to lifelong learning and getting continued training in whatever needs my community has.”

A family man, Newell and his wife have four children. He delivered his daughter during an OB/GYN clerkship.

Shouldn't be, but to be safe consult the Kremlin site

For their last meeting of the fall 2023 semester, the students in MIT’s course 21W.756 (Nature Poetry) piled into a bus and headed to a local performance space for a reading: their own.

Sure, students in the course, taught by Professor Joshua Bennett, spend much of the semester reading and discussing poems. But they create and perform, too, often using tools from their other studies at MIT. One student in 21W.756 built a custom field microphone to incorporate recorded sounds into his work; another designed collages to complement her poems.

“The students are phenomenal,” says Bennett, a professor of literature and Distinguished Chair of the Humanities at MIT. “I try to think about how everything else they’re studying at MIT might meet up with the study of literature in a productive way. We’ve got great students who do super-interesting things.”

He adds: “They are willing to take the leap between other classes and our class very seriously. They see it as an opportunity — and they’ve explicitly told me this — to talk about being human. They’ve cherished that, and it’s been a transformative experience to have witnessed that.”

Bennett, an award-winning professor with a broad portfolio of work, knows about leaping between disciplines. He has published books of literary criticism, cultural history, and three collections of poems. Bennett has also gained renown as a spoken-word poetry performer — he has another major tour slated for this summer — and helped found the poetry collaborative Strivers Row. His readings have gained what must be millions of views on YouTube, including “ Tamara’s Opus ,” a dramatic work written for his deaf sister.

In short, Bennett also does his own super-interesting things, while encouraging students to join him in the pursuit of knowledge.

“Why do we create literature in the first place?” Bennett asks. “Why do we go to college? Why do we listen to people tell stories? Why do 300 or 3,000 people at a poetry reading listen to me or others talk? I imagine some of it is, there are things we love about being alive. And one of them is the feeling you can learn something new. You can be astonished. There is a space for you to become more complete through knowledge.”

Reading (and listening to) everything

Bennett grew up in Yonkers, New York, in a family that included preachers and musicians, and helped inculcate a love of learning in him.

“I’m thankful I had parents who just weren’t narrow-minded,” Bennett says. “They taught me to read everything, to listen to everything. At school I was reading Fitzgerald, and other works that were canonical, and wherever I saw beauty I really gravitated to it.” At the same time, he notes, “I was exposed to the genius of gospel music, jazz, and Motown,” while learning about Black scientists and much more.

He credits a 10th grade English teacher, Kaliq Simms, for helping him realize his potential as a student and writer.

“We read Hamlet, the Merchant of Venice, the Canterbury Tales, and she took us through literature in a way that made it land,” Bennett says. “She taught those works alongside Toni Morrison and James Baldwin. There was just something about the way she spoke to us. Ms. Simms said I was a ‘witty elocutionist.’ She just saw something in me other people didn’t see, or couldn’t. She had a serious role in changing my trajectory.”

Thus bolstered, Bennett earned his undergraduate degree as a double major in Africana studies and English from the University of Pennsylvania, where he became involved in the competitive poetry-slam scene. Bennett did so well as a performer that in 2009, before he had graduated, he was invited to perform “Tamara’s Opus” at the White House; it is an apology to his sister for not having learned sign language sooner. Graduating in 2010, Bennett was a commencement speaker at Penn.

If that weren’t enough, Bennett also earned a prestigious Marshall Scholarship, allowing him to receive an MA in theater and performance studies from the University of Warwick, in Coventry, England. Bennett then earned his PhD in English from Princeton University. His dissertation, about the place and meaning of animals in Black literature, ultimately became his 2020 book, “Being Property Once Myself.” It won the Modern Language Association’s William Sanders Scarborough Prize.

“It really emerged from having two grandparents who were sharecroppers who met in a strawberry field in North Carolina and emphasized the beauty of that field,” Bennett says. “I thought, how is that possible? To come out of that context with a story of love and beauty. When I got to Princeton, I expected the appearence of animals in African American literature to always be about degredation, but instead what I found were writers who took animals on their own terms, as beautiful, as powerful, as annoying, as recalcitrant, and sometimes as radicals or fugitives.”

Those writers include major figures such as Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, Robert Hayden, and Jesmyn Ward, among others. “I chose all canonical authors, on purpose,” Bennett says. “But that was to say, these are some of the most written-about books by African Americans, and even so, people had not written about them in this way.”

After receiving his PhD in 2016, Bennett spent three years as a Junior Fellow in Harvard University’s Society of Fellows, then joined the faculty of Dartmouth College in 2019. Two years later, he was promoted to full professor. Bennett joined the MIT faculty full-time starting in 2023.

Among other recent honors, Bennett was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2021. He also won the 2023 Paterson Poetry Prize for his 2022 poetry collection, “The Study of Human Life.”

What kind of writing?

Bennett’s prolific output, both in scholarly works and as a poet and performer, no doubt owes much to his inner drive and enthusiasm. But his ability to produce work across genres also seems tied to his flexible thinking about writerly voice. Bennett is not constrained by the idea that his writing can only take one register; he varies his approach depending upon the project.

“To me it’s all [just] different kinds of writing,” Bennett says. “I was raised around musicians, around preachers, which I think is really central, because I understood what they were doing, even if some of them were improvising sermons, as a kind of writing. Poetry, fiction, and nonfiction are all kinds of writing, so [the question became], what kind of writing is best suited to my object of concern?”

For instance, Bennett says his 2016 poetry collection, “The Sobbing School,” a complex series of explorations about sustaining selfhood in the context of violence and tragedy, is about grief; that subject matter shaped the form.

“At that moment, I thought, these need to be elegies,” Bennett says.

However, Bennett’s 2023 nonfiction book “Spoken Word,” a history of the spoken-word poetry movement, is different. It is a deeply researched book that Bennett has written for a general audience, with a fast-paced text replicating the sense of movement and novelty surrounding the growth of the spoken-word genre, its best-known venues, like the Nuyorican Poets Café in Manhattan, and the creation of competitive poetry slams. In The New York Times , Tas Tobey called it a “vibrant cultural history.”

“I wanted to write ‘Spoken Word’ like a spoken-word poem, which I say explicitly, but I also wanted it to be a history of loving accomplishment,” Bennett says. “How people have not just competed, but worked together to create a sound.”

Another motif of “Spoken Word” is that in the process of creating spoken word poetry, people have found meaning in their own lives, discerned meaning in the works of others, and established human bonds and affinities and they might not have otherwise understood.

From the poetry slam venue to his own classroom, Bennett encourages this process. Making literature is an act of human value and meaning, and helps us reflect on it, too.

“We are here to sit with beauty and discomfort the whole time,” Bennett says of his class discussions. “Some of the work we read will be from people who were imprisoned, or enslaved, and we’re reading their poems together and learning what they have to say about human life.” Of his students, he adds: “We need as many hands on deck as possible, we need as many students who care and are devoted and as imaginative as possible in the room, and we need to give them all the resources we can to produce a livable world.”
