DESPITE
THEIR PATRIARCHAL family structure, evangelical
protestant men make
some of the best husbands
and fathers, according to a study by W. Bradford
Wilcox, a
U.Va. assistant
professor of sociology. Wilcox wanted to
know how family attitudes and
practices of married men with children are
influenced by religion. Wilcox’s findings are
outlined in his new book, “Soft Patriarchs,
New Men: How Christianity Shapes Fathers and
Husbands.” Full
story.

Summer
is a time for fun — family vacations to the
beach, trips to the pool, a boat ride. It can
also be a time for tragedy. Drowning is the leading
cause of
death among children
under 4 years old, happening often while the
children are under supervision. In an effort
to teach
the public about the prevention of water accidents,
U.Va.’s Children’s Medical Center is sponsoring
Water
Safety Awareness Day on Saturday. Full
story.

 When
one thinks of a circus, they probably think
lions, tigers, clowns and trapeze artists. LaVahn
Hoh
thinks about so much more. Hoh’s first trip
to the
circus made such an impression on him that the
U.Va. professor of drama teaches a course on
circus history — the only accredited course of
its kind in the world. Currently a fellow at
U.Va.’s Institute for Advanced
Technology in the Humanities, Hoh plans to share
his passion for the circus with a new Web
site titled “The Circus in America, 1793
to 1940,” which should go live this summer. Full
story.
