Jonathan Goldman, Ph.D., professor of English, Department of Humanities, presented his digital humanities project, "NY1920s: When We Became Modern," at the Modernist Studies Association annual conference on October 29, 2022, in Portland, OR.

Jonathan Goldman, Ph.D., professor of English, Department of Humanities, delivered his paper, "Cutesy Modernism: Rose O'Neill's Nonbinary Empire," at the Modernist Studies Association annual conference on October 28, 2022 in Portland, OR.

Sophia Domokos, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, was an invited speaker at a recent workshop, From holography to machine learning: novel takes on dense matter, hosted by the University of Helsinki on October 24-26, 2022, in Helsinki, Finland. The workshop brought together experts in string theory's holographic duality, like Domokos, with experts in nuclear physics and neutron stars. Holographic duality is one of the most promising tools we have to understand the behavior of dense matter inside neutron stars.

Amanda Golden, Ph.D., associate professor of English, Department of Humanities, gave a talk on "Editing Sylvia Plath" on October 23, 2022, as a part of the Sylvia Plath Festival, held in Hebden Bridge, England.

Kate E. O’Hara, Ph.D., associate professor of interdisciplinary studies, presented "Listening with Our Eyes: Taking Action through Photovoice" at the virtual Photovoice Worldwide International Conference: 30 Years of Photovoice, on October 20, 2022. In her interactive presentation, O’Hara shared the design and implementation of an undergraduate student research project, based on a Photovoice framework. Through the philosophical lenses of relational and critical pedagogy, student examples were shared. The presentation also addressed aspects of Photovoice as a method to inform the fields of both qualitative and quantitative research, countering privileged scholarship, and centering marginalized voices.

Edward Guiliano, Ph.D., president emeritus and professor of English in the Department of Humanities, published his “review” of George Eliot’s Middlemarch “Middlemarch at 150,” in the Dickens Studies Annual: Essays on Victorian Fiction, Vol. 53, no. 2, 2022, pp. 299-303. The article, published on September 1, 2022, celebrated the occasion of the novel's 150th anniversary of publication. Guilano's Lewis Carroll: The Worlds of His Alices was reviewed earlier in the year by Jan Susina in Victorian Studies, Spring 2022 (64:3), 499-502.

Claude E. Gagna, Ph.D., professor of biological and chemical sciences, published a peer-reviewed abstract in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology (i.e., Society for Investigative Dermatology, 2022 Annual Meeting) entitled "Identification of Z-DNA, G4-DNA and B-DNA in epidermis: Spatial genomic organization of different DNA structures (Genomesorganizomics)", on August 1, 2022. Data from this research project shows, for the first time, the presence and distribution of three totally different structures of DNA molecules within normal human skin. These DNAs (canonical, alternative, and multistranded DNAs) were characterized simultaneously within the nucleus of cells, allowing for studies on gene expression between different forms of DNA.

Melda N. Yildiz, Ed.D., associate professor of education, had her article, "Algorithmic Social Justice through Participatory Action Research: Media Binds or Blinds?," published in Media Literacy, Equity, and Justice, edited by Belinha S. De Abreu, and published by Routledge on July 20, 2022.

Claude E. Gagna, Ph.D., professor of biological and chemical sciences, published a response to "Expanding the Histone Code," the lead story of the June 6, 2022 edition of Chemical and Engineering News, in the Letters to the Editor, Reactions Section of the same publication on July 14, 2022. His letter, entitled "Beyond B-DNA for Histone Studies," focuses on how the research community of molecular biologists and chemists needs to expand its view of double-stranded DNA beyond that of Watson and Crick's canonical B-DNA molecule and consider exotic, alternative, and multistranded DNA structures when trying to crack the human histone code.

Claude E. Gagna, Ph.D., professor of biological and chemical sciences, published a peer-reviewed abstract in investigative ophthalmology & visual sciences (ARVO Annual Meeting) entitled "Multiplex Immunofluorescent Demonstration of B-DNA, Z-DNA and G4-Quadruplex DNA in the Mouse Crystalline Lens: Spatial Genomic Organization of Different DNA Structures, i.e., Genomesorganizomics," on July 1, 2022. This project reveals, for the first time, the distribution of three different structures of nucleic acids within the normal adult crystalline lens of the eye globe. This novel "omics" method reveals how each of the three DNAs plays a different role in gene expression.
