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.
