Associate Professor of English, Drake University
I was born and raised in San Jose, California. I earned my BA in English from UCLA and my PhD in English from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Prior to coming to Drake, I advised students and taught interdisciplinary courses at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study.
My area of expertise is early modern English literature. In addition to teaching courses on Shakespeare and his contemporaries, I often teach introduction to literary analysis, First Year Seminar, and courses in Women’s and Gender Studies. I have published on major early modern dramatists—Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Fletcher—and more recently, on the ways in which Shakespeare, race, and popular culture intersect. I also write personal essays and book reviews, which you can find in The Smart Set, Entropy Magazine, and MAKE Literary Magazine.

Lecturer, Creative Unit, UniSA, University of South Australia
I work on contemporary literature (especially visual narratives such as animated documentaries and comics) that engages with politics. I have a PhD in cultural and literary studies, an MA in philosophy and literarure, an Honours in literatures in English and a BA majoring in philosophy and English literature.
I am a scholar and lecturer at the University of South Australia in the field of contemporary literature and visual culture. My work is about the unique role that arts and aesthetics plays in helping us think through intractable problems in contemporary times because of the ways in which different art forms help us capture what lies beyond language and help us envision situations in which experience may not be immediately visible. This led me to study contemporary interdisciplinary literature (including comics and films) in order to come to grips with problems concerning the representation of marginal groups and stigmatised experiences. My interdisciplinary, African training as well as living and working in contested states with violent histories (such as apartheid South Africa, North Cyprus and Australia) drive my continued engagement with marginalisation and decolonisation.

Research Professor of Physics, Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis
Dr. Gillis-Davis combines experiments, remote sensing, and sample analysis to study the geology of the Moon, Mercury, and asteroids.
He has mapped the composition and morphology of the Moon and Mercury as a science team member of three NASA missions: Clementine, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Miniature Radio-Frequency team, and MESSENGER. To examine a process known as space weathering, he uses lasers to replicate the impact of dust-sized particles on the surfaces of these airless bodies. These tiny but incredibly fast (between 18,000 and 54,000 km per hour) particles constantly rain down on planetary bodies without an atmosphere – These same small particles are what create a meteor (aka shooting star) when they enter Earth’s atmosphere. These dust-sized particles release incredible amounts of kinetic energy when they impact the surface of an airless body. The released energy transforms minerals into glass and can destroy ices or lead to intriguing chemical processes – e.g., transform molecules of water (H2O) ice and carbon dioxide (CO2) ice to methane ice (CH3). Jeff leads a national and international team of researchers who study the complex processes and environments that determine where ice will be, how it may be modified, how water was delivered to the Moon, and its active water cycle. This team is called the Interdisciplinary Consortium for Evaluating Volatile Origins (ICE Five-O), which is one of NASA’s Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI).

Jeffrey R. Powell did his undergraduate work at the University of Notre Dame where he started working on the mosquito Aedes aegypti under the direction of George B. Craig. In 1969 he went to graduate school at The Rockefeller University where he began empirical population genetics studies of Drosophila under the mentorship of Theodosius Dobzhansky. He obtained his Ph. D. in 1972 from the University of California, Davis, where he moved with Dobzhansky in 1971. He began as an Assistant Professor at Yale in 1972 and has been on the faculty since. He has spent sabbatical leaves at the University of California (Riverside), University of Rome, California Institute of Technology, and Cambridge University. He continues to work on Drosophila and mosquitoes, while initiating in 1991 a research program on genetics of Galápagos tortoises that has taken on a life of its own. His major interests are basic issues of evolutionary genetics and molecular evolution largely using Drosophila as a model organism and application of genetic technologies and concepts to mosquitoes to aid in control of diseases they transmit. He has mentored 23 Ph. D. students to completion, 24 postdoctorals, and >40 undergraduates, as well as hosted six sabbatical visitors.

Rubin’s current project, Seeing and Not Seeing: Essays on Democratic Possibility in Latin America and Beyond, argues that in order to understand the dynamic and unstable mixes of democracy and violence, economic expansion and continuing exclusions, that characterize Latin America today – and to discern possibilities for and limits to progressive reform in this context – it is essential to conceptualize historical forces and political actors not as coherent and bounded, but rather as made up of multiple and changing forces, strands, and cultures.
