\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — July 27, 2004 — Internationally known as an award-winning teacher, a dynamic research scientist, and a patented inventor, next month 溏心vlog免费B站 Professor Roger LeBrun will bring another view of his work and life into focus.<\/p>\n


\nFrom Aug. 2 though Sept. 16, the University’s Library Gallery will feature an exhibit of LeBrun’s photographic essay entitled “Fringes of War: Vietnam 1969.” A portion of the exhibit features works from a previous show, “Eye of the Storm: A combat medic’s refuge at a Buddhist orphanage in Vietnam (1970),” that was presented for the first time for the judged Physician-Artist\u2019s Exhibit last spring at the Dryden Gallery in Providence. The exhibit at 溏心vlog免费B站 includes a much broader array of images than were previously shown.<\/p>\n


\nFree and open to the public, the gallery in the library on the Kingston Campus is open during August, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Beginning Sept. 7, hours are Monday \u2013 Thursday, 8 a.m. to Midnight; Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday 1 p.m. to Midnight.<\/p>\n

LeBrun says he has been a photographer for most of his life. Documenting everyday events as they unfolded before him, he became aware of the importance of the concerned photographer during his graduate years at Cornell University. Drafted into the Vietnam War as a combat medic, he intended to use the camera as an instrument to initiate social change.<\/p>\n


\nThe photographic series includes 24 20″x24″ black and white uncropped prints that document daily life in both a village and a Buddhist orphanage in Vietnam. The negatives for this show were just recently printed. Noting that “Sometimes Pandora’s Box can be the size of a film canister,” LeBrun says the negatives had not been developed for 35 years. Some of the prints were recently auctioned at a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders, and a portion of profits from the sales of other photographs will also be donated to the same organization.<\/p>\n


\nAfter the war, LeBrun completed his graduate studies and was appointed to the faculty at the University in 1977. He is currently the Carnegie Professor of Life Sciences and works with graduate and undergraduate students in vector-borne disease. <\/p>\n


\nHe has held positions at the Pasteur Institute and the American Embassy in Paris and next year will be training interns from eight Southeast Asian countries in emerging and re-emerging infectious disease at the National Institute for Hygiene and Epidemiology in Hanoi, Vietnam.<\/p>\n


\nIn addition to teaching, LeBrun is director of graduate programs in the College of the Environment and Life Sciences and director of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Laboratory for Invertebrate Pathology. His recent research has focused on diseases transmitted by ticks and mosquitoes, especially Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and eastern equine encephalitis.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
