Fairmount College faculty: Brigitte Roussel gives voice to silenced female authors

Life during the 16th century in France afforded few opportunities for women to make their voices heard. Its rigidly patriarchal culture expected them to be dutiful wives, mothers and daughters, not opinionated politicians, poets and painters, like their male counterparts. But buried in the pages of manuscripts, annotating the margins, exists a historical…

Fairmount College faculty: Mark Schneegurt weaves creativity of science into research

Inspiration could strike anywhere. For Mark Schneegurt, it comes from time in nature, daydreaming. “I need time where I can just sit and think,” Schneegurt, professor of microbiology, said. “I can stare at the bark on a tree and just start scribbling ideas down.

Fairmount College faculty: Catherine Searle defies the stereotype for a mathematician

With dozens of brightly colored origami figures decorating the shelves and sketches covering the whiteboard in the corner, Catherine Searle’s office looks more like an art studio than a space to do fundamental research in mathematics.

Fairmount College Faculty: Michael Birzer transforms criminal justice theory into policy

As compared to white drivers, a Black driver is five times as likely to be stopped by a police officer. Black citizens report being stopped more frequently for minor violations: forgetting to use their blinker, a cracked windshield, a broken taillight.
