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. Searle’s field of study has a bad rap, a fact of which she is fully aware. “I get it – Math can be terrifying at times,”…

As compared to white drivers, a Black driver is five times as likely to be stopped by a police officer.

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…
