Monday Memo, April 1, 2024

Dear A&S Colleagues, 

It's the countdown to the eclipse! In case you haven’t heard, next Monday, April 8, a total solar eclipse will cross over Mexico, the United States, and Canada as the moon passes between the sun and earth, completely blocking the face of the sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk.

Louisville is a mere 35 miles from the path of totality and will experience a deep partial eclipse, beginning around 1:30 pm, peaking at 3:07 pm, and ending around 4:30 pm. Read more on Eclipse2024.org. 

Please be aware that looking at the sun without properly made eclipse glasses can result in severe eye injury, from temporary vision impairment to permanent blindness. WLKY recently surveyed where to obtain eclipse glasses in Louisville, and they can also be purchased on Eclipse.org and a variety of online retailers.

Astronomy Professor Gerry Williger suggests that another way to view the eclipse safely is by projection. Using a piece of cardboard layered in kitchen foil, punch a hole about the size of a nail. (The foil helps ensure the cleanest possible edges for the hole.) Hold the cardboard up to the eclipsing sun and observe how the light projects through that hole onto a surface below.

Finally, for those planning to travel to the path of totality, be prepared for severe traffic both coming and going. Also expect cell phones to be overloaded. The next total solar eclipse viewable from the contiguous United States won't be until 2044, so make the most of this one! 

Sincerely,

Julie Wrinn, Chief of Staff

Reseach Agenda

History Professor Awarded Grant for Archival Research in France

Elise Franklin, Assistant Professor of History, has been awarded a $6,000 grant from the American Philosophical Society to conduct archival research in France this summer for a new book project. Abduction in the Archives recounts the history of the Perrou affair, in which the relatively anonymous French settler Armand Perrou placed 25 Algerian children up for "adoption" in France during the Algerian War (1954-62). This study, born from a chance encounter in the archives in the wake of revelations about the United States's own child separation policies, will consider the relationship between colonialism, conceptions of the stable family, and the politics and responsibilities of historical research on colonial trauma.

Alumni Profile

Deepika Malhotra Wins Kavli Foundation Emerging Leader in Chemistry Award

The American Chemical Society (ACS) has honored Deepika Malhotra, a senior scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), with the Kavli Foundation Emerging Leader in Chemistry Award for her remarkable achievements in carbon management research. Dr. Malhotra earned her Ph.D. in chemistry in 2014 as a student in Professor Gerald Hammond’s lab.

“My motivation as a scientist is centered on advancing carbon capture solutions, underscoring a commitment to addressing global environmental challenges,” Malhotra said. “This is a prestigious award, and I am honored to be recognized for contributing to that broader mission.”

On March 18, Malhotra gave the Fred Kavli Emerging Leader in Chemistry Lecture on “The Many Flavors of Carbon Capture Technologies” at the ACS Spring 2024 National Meeting in New Orleans. The presentation aimed to encourage dialogue among scientists, industry professionals, and policymakers to address future challenges in carbon capture and storage and to promote sustainable practices.

“We are all talking about global efforts towards achieving a net-zero world,” said Malhotra. “The importance of this initiative is not limited to a single sector but spans across various fields and industries. The efficient capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) before it reaches the atmosphere is a big part of that equation.”

Malhotra and other researchers at PNNL are developing efficient methods for capturing CO2 from industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere—a crucial step to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Her research specifically concentrates on the design, synthesis, and large-scale production of solvents that are effective in capturing CO2.

“There is a pressing need for the creation of new and more efficient systems for carbon capture. This involves research and designing technologies that can effectively capture CO2 emissions at their source, such as power plants, industrial facilities, and even directly from the air,” said Malhotra. “The aim is to develop systems that are not only effective but also scalable and adaptable to different emission sources.”

Read more about this award on the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory website and about Deepika Malhotra's bio. 

At the ACS National Meeting, Malhotra was also among the 2024 Outreach Volunteers of the Year. Below is Malhotra (right) mentoring community college student Kayla Shaffron (left) in 2019 on a carbon capture research project at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The Department of Energy internship experience inspired Shaffron to change her career path and pursue chemistry at Tacoma Community College, where she now is a professor of chemistry and environmental science.

English Professor Wins BIPOC Scholars Prize

Congratulations to Mark Mattes, Assistant Professor of English, for winning the Nineteenth-Century Studies Association’s 2024 BIPOC Scholars Prize for his essay "Trees and Texts: Indigenous History, Material Media, and the Logan Elm," which was published in the journal Criticism. This award recognizes excellence in scholarly studies from any discipline focusing on any aspect of the long nineteenth century (French Revolution to World War I) completed by a scholar who identifies as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, or a person of color).

Creative Writing Faculty Awarded Summer Residency in Denmark

Kristi Maxwell, Associate Professor of English, has been awarded one of four spots for international writers in the Among the Danes International Summer Writing Residency Program at the Danish Center for Writers and Translators at Hald Hovedgaard in Viborg, Denmark, in July. During her residency, Professor Maxwell will continue to work on a project she began during her sabbatical.

Faculty Bookshelf: Social Movement Literature

Congratulations to Stephen Schneider, Associate Professor of English, on the recent publication of his book, Social Movement Literature (Routledge, February 2024). This book introduces readers to the study of cultural texts that have come to define modern social movements. Looking at movements in U.S. civil rights, gay liberation, and environmentalism, as well as #metoo and Black Lives Matter, this volume focuses not only on the texts that social movements have produced, but also on how those texts have inspired the participants of such movements. The book asks: how do social movements develop and present not only their goals, but also their broader identities, using texts and other media? How are these movement texts received and further disseminated? By combining both textual and historical approaches to the analysis of social movements, this volume aims to give readers both an understanding of how social movements emerge and why they remain both political and culturally relevant today. See book cover below.

Local Religious Institutions and Long Run Development in India. 

How do religious institutions affect long-run development?

Naamani Memorial Lecture Features Susanna Heschel

Please mark your calendars for this exciting and, given political developments in this country and abroad, extremely timely event, cohosted by the Naamani Memorial Fund and The Temple. We hope that you will join us! No RSVP required. 

Susannah Heschel is the Eli M. Black Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College and chair of the Jewish Studies Program and a faculty member of the Religion Department. Her scholarship focuses on Jewish and Protestant thought during the 19th and 20th centuries, including the history of biblical scholarship, Jewish scholarship on Islam, and the history of anti-Semitism. Her numerous publications include Abraham Geiger and the Jewish Jesus, which won a National Jewish Book Award. Her forthcoming book, co-written with Sarah Imhoff, is The Woman Question in Jewish Studies. Heschel is the recipient of numerous grants, including from the Ford Foundation, Carnegie Foundation, and a yearlong Rockefeller fellowship at the National Humanities Center. 

Abraham Joshua Heschel was a renowned Jewish theologian and philosopher with a social consciousness that led him to participate in the civil rights movement. Considered “one of the truly great men” of his day and a “great prophet” by Martin Luther King, Jr., Heschel articulated to many Jewish Americans and Black Americans the notion that they had a responsibility for each other’s liberation and for the plight of all suffering fellow humans around the world.
