The Environmental Justice + Humanities Hub will combine humanities insights—from disciplines including history, anthropology, philosophy, and literature, among others—with environmental studies to create more well-rounded and effective solutions to environmental challenges, while teaching students to work closely with communities and address pressing issues in a meaningful way.

The project’s development has included leaders and collaborators from the School for Environment and Sustainability, Program in the Environment, Office of the Provost and College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.

In late July, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association recommended funding for a new collaborative project aimed at reducing flooding around the Sapelo Island Gullah Geechee community known as Hog Hummock. Like many of Georgia’s barrier islands, Sapelo Island and it’s communities are susceptible to coastal flooding, sea-level rise, and other coastal hazards. With the proposed funding, the Hogg Hummock-based non-profit organization Save Our Legacy Ourself (SOLO) will lead the project with support from the University of Georgia’s Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems (IRIS) and Shell

Dr. Cory A. Bennett, Professor of Mathematics Education, and Dr. Allison Roxburgh, Assistant Professor of Mathematics Education, both in the Department of Teaching and Educational Studies, were lead writers on the publication of a new position paper for NCSM called Leading with Technology: Enhancing Mathematics for All Students.

Trillions of miles away from our planet, nuclear reactions inside exploding stars produce most of the naturally occurring elements in the universe.

Here on Earth, Florida State University physicists at the John D. Fox Superconducting Accelerator Laboratory will replicate those reactions to better understand how they work and produce elements. Their work to investigate the universe’s building blocks is funded by a $9 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

JD Mendez, an associate professor of chemistry at Indiana University Columbus, is no stranger to the transformative power of global experiences. Specializing in chitin — a naturally occurring biopolymer found in the shells of crustaceans, the exoskeletons of insects and the cell walls of fungi — Mendez also focuses on chemical education, particularly the ways 3D printing and gamification can enrich students’ understanding.

The University of Kansas Center for Undergraduate Research & Fellowships (CURF) is hosting the annual Fall Undergraduate Research Showcase. The online event, featuring 44 presentations, will run from 8 a.m. Dec. 10 through 5 p.m. Dec. 12.

Weber State University continues to expand its green energy production capabilities with the completion of a second solar array covered parking lot on the Ogden campus.

More than 1,000 solar panels were installed on top of the new covered structure over the existing public pay lot. Construction on the lot began in late spring and will finish in mid-December. The pay lot is centrally located near the Student Services Center, Shepherd Union and Val A. Browning Center.
