Scholarly Showcase
The Scholarly Lunch Series is designed to showcase the work o GrauelFaculty Fellowship, Summer Research Fellowship, and Wasmer SummerResearch recipients. Once a month, members o the Carroll community
gather over lunch to learn more
about the scholarly endeavors otwo eatured aculty members.
Through these interactive
presentations, we become better
acquainted with the interests
o our aculty while also being
challenged and stimulated to learn
something new on topics ranging
rom why people are philanthropic
to the physical evolution o rogs,
and rom a literary examination o
terrorism and how it inorms thestatus o women to whether the
Great Lakes could and should be
used more eectively to ship goods.
The frst lunch took place on Friday, September 19. In
his presentation, The Logistics o Northeast Ohio,
Grauel recipientBrad Hull, o the Department o
Management, Marketing, and Logistics, observed that
water transportation is the least costly, most uel efcient,
saest, greenest, and least emissions producing o all the
transportation modes. Despite these acts, and the potentialo water transportation taking a signifcant number o trucks o the road, the
Port o Cleveland remains signifcantly underutilized in transporting goods.
Moreover, with the anticipated increase in containers and corresponding
movement o goods, it makes even more sense to ship whenever possible, as
ships can carry much greater quantities than trucks. The Port o Cleveland
could acilitate more efcient transportation o goods rom the East Coast

ports throughout the United States. Pro. Hull urther argued that revitalizing
the port could stimulate economic growth in Northeast Ohio and challenged
his listeners to think about the implications or Clevelands uture i political
and economic leaders could think and act more proactively with regard to this
issue.
Jeanne Colleran, o the Department o English, shared the
results o her Summer Research Fellowship on this occasion
as well. Her presentation, Rescuing Iraqi Women,
documents the Bush Administrations use o rhetoric o
rescue as a rationale or the 2003 war, especially ater the
ailure to discover weapons o mass destruction. Needing
a signpost or progress, the Bush Administration spoke
requently o the higher calling, as Richard Perle termed it, o liberating
oppressed Muslim women in Iraq and Aghanistan. Against these claims, Pro.
Colleran discussed dramatic works written in response to the War on Terror.These socially critical pieces are keenly interested in the perormative and
spectacular aspects not only o terrorist acts but also o the administrations
own political theater. Several women writers have created works to counter the
alse constructions o Muslim women, constructions that erase their history in
order to install diversionary narratives o emale empowerment.
The second oering o the Scholarly Lunch Series
happened on Tuesday, October 7. The gathering gave
Wasmer Summer Fellowship recipientWalter Simmons, o
the Department o Economics and Finance, an opportunity
to discuss the research he and his coauthor, Rosemarie
Emanuele, have done to explain patterns o philanthropic
giving by those who attend religious services regularly
(at least twice a month) and those who do not. Controlling or income,
home ownership, work experience, and number o children living at home,
the fndings suggest that religious afliation has an independent eect
on the likelihood to give time and/or money to not-or-proft, charitable
organizations. The authors attribute this to the culture o giving embedded
in religious traditions and worship services.
Christopher Sheil, o the Department o Biology,
summarized his research accomplishments while on
a Grauel Faculty Fellowship in a presentation entitled
Studies o Development in the Structural Units o the
Skeletons o Turtles and Frogs. Noting the diversity o
turtles, Pro. Sheil oered both a breadth and depth o
perspective by examining patterns o development in
the bones and cartilages o the skull o the Hawsbill Seaturtle (Eretmochelys

imbricata), limb development in several important groups o turtles, and the
eects o incubation temperature on skull development in tadpoles o the
American Toad (Anaxyrus americanus). Oten collaborating with JCU students
and colleagues at other institutions, he reviewed how he gathers his data and
the implications o his work, which aims to better understand the evolution
and development o reptiles and amphibians.
On Friday, November 21, Gwen Compton-Engle, o the
Department o Classical and Modern Languages and
Cultures, discussed the results o her Grauel Faculty
Fellowship in a presentation entitled Manipulation
o Costume in Fith Century Athenian Comedy.
Long interested in the use o costume in the plays o
Aristophanes, she examined and discussed the way
costumes are actually used on stage. Descriptions o the costumes already
exist, but because the plays are ull o costume-related action (or example,
characters steal each others clothes, they dress up in disguises, and they pull
o and add on costume elements constantly), an analysis o their use inorms
our understanding o the genre. Pro. Compton-Engle noted that Athenian
old comedy is a undamentally competitive genre; comic poets compete
or prizes, characters are fghting with one another, verbally and physically,
and there is a pervasive atmosphere o one-upmanship. She argues that
manipulation o costume is part o this. In sum, to control costume is to show
that youre winning. Thus, a characters control over costume in the course o
a play is an index o his or her overall power.
In her presentation entitled Lots o Luck: Lottery and
Chance in the Political Imagination, Mindy Peden,
o the Department o Political Science, explored the
ways in which luck and chance have been understood
by political theorists. For the most part, she suggests,
contemporary political thinkers understand luck to
describe those situations in which the individual subject
has no control. Chance, however, has been understood in a variety o ways
over time, beginning with Aristotle suggesting that chance is the coincidental
intersection o two separate causes. Enlightenment thinkers argue,
however, rom a more deterministic perspective suggesting that chance is an
epistemological category resulting rom a defcit o human knowledge. In
other words, the world is deterministic and certain even i not predictable
by humans. That the world is a rational, knowable place subject to physical
laws and properties is the premise o much o contemporary thought. The
emphasis on rationality is then translated to the social and political world.
For Pro. Peden, the conceptual distinction between what humans can
control versus what they cannot is the battlegrounds over the meaning
o democracy, reedom, and selhood. She suggests that the idea o sel-
governance challenges the deterministic views espoused by many political
thinkers challenging us to reconsider the tenets o liberal theory. Ultimately,
she suggests that chance and luck play a more signifcant role in our lives than
we seem to want to think.
