The Friends Of C.S. Lewis, Walter Hooper

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

A series of talks was given at Grandpont House, Oxford in 2013 to mark the half-century anniversary of C. S. Lewis’s death and the fortieth anniversary of J. R. R. Tolkien’s passing. The address by Walter Hooper focused on memories of C. S. Lewis and his friends and took that story up to Lewis’s death on 22 November 1963.1 The essay below, given on a different occasion,2 is a complementary address covering the period from 1963 to the death of Owen Barfield in 1997. Hooper himself passed away in 2020.

Cousin To Cousin: Joy Davidman's Correspondence With Edward Rosenthal, Don W. King

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

The focus of the smaller collection below—comprised of six letters and postcards written between 1950 and 1960—is Joy’s correspondence with her first cousin, Edward (aka Eddie or Eddy) Rosenthal. Rosenthal was the son of Henry and Rebecca Rosenthal; Rebecca was the sister of Joy’s mother, Jennette Davidman, and thus Joy’s aunt. Rosenthal worked at the Los Angeles Examiner (est. 1903-62), a newspaper founded by William Randolph Hearst. The subjects of their correspondence include discussion of family members, notably Joy’s husband Bill Gresham as well as her sons David and Douglas, and a number of other extended kindred. Other topics are …

An Unlikely Preacher: C.S. Lewis And The War-Time Sermon, Joe Ricke

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

The sermon was supposedly titled “‘None Other Gods’: Culture in War Time,” although no extant copy has that full title. His text was an obscure verse from the Book of Deuteronomy. It was the first sermon he had ever preached. Before the end of the war, the preacher, Clive Staples Lewis, a native of Belfast, a veteran of the Great War, and a rather recently converted agnostic, had become a household word in Great Britain and beyond as a defender of the Christian faith.

Seven Letters Of Warren Lewis To June Flewett, Don W. King

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

Excerpt: June loved both Jack and Warnie, and she remembered Warnie with particular affection: “He was amusing and enjoyed playing the crusty old bachelor. He and Jack listened to classical music on an old gramophone with a huge wooden horn. I was sometimes invited to join them for this in Jack’s study. I do not remember ever seeing him in a bad mood. . . . In the two years that I shared his home he was consistently kind and courteous to me and I was very fond of him.” The seven letters that follow underscore Warnie’s deep affection for …

Food Web Structure And Dynamics Across Space And Time, Angélica González

Sustainability Seminar Series

Human activities are fundamentally altering major biogeochemical cycles, which are at the core of the structure and functioning of Earth’s systems. Increasing inputs of chemical elements such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) and their imbalanced inputs (N:P ratios) are having severe consequences on ecological phenomena from organism physiology to ecosystem functioning. In this talk, I will discuss the utility of ecological stoichiometry thinking combined with the use of surveys, experiments, and data synthesis approaches, to understand the consequences of shifts in nutrient supply dynamics on ecological processes at multiple scales.

View From The Editor's Chair, Stephen Daniells

Oxford ICSB

With the pandemic fading in the minds of most Americans and a return to something we can all recognize as ‘normality’, there is a slight reset happening in US dietary supplements industry. Consumers who flocked to the industry in record numbers are still there, but spending habits have changed and hot categories like immune support are evolving. We're also seeing technology being leveraged in the search for the next hot ingredient, from artificial intelligence to synthetic biology, and this has implications for the botanicals trade. We also have an industry at odds with itself, with trade associations working against each …

Extract Of Artemisia Dracunculus L. Modulates The Proliferation And Activity Of Osteoblasts, Matthew C. Scott

Oxford ICSB

Thiazolidinedione (TZD) treatment significantly improves insulin sensitivity and lowers blood glucose via action on adipocytes. Unfortunately, the pro-adipogenic property of TZDs is also associated with bone degradation by inhibiting the action of bone forming cells, or osteoblasts. An ethanol extract of Artemisia dracunculus L., termed PMI 5011, improves blood glucose and insulin sensitivity via action on muscle cells, rather than fat, and may therefore spare bone while lowering blood glucose levels. Here we examine in vitro the effects of PMI 5011 on a pre-osteoblast cell line, MC3T3-E1 cells, during osteogenic differentiation. We hypothesized that PMI 5011 will not inhibit osteogenesis, …

An Interview With The Tempestry Project, Sparrow Potter

Proceedings of GREAT Day

The Tempestry project centers around creating a visual representation of climate change. Crocheters, knitters, and all other crafters come together to create a quilt with a color-coded version of temperature over the years. Each Wednesday, you can find this dedicated group of crafters showing up with spools of yarn. It's a very small-knit (no pun intended) atmosphere. Those who are veterans teach the newer ones, and each kit comes with instructions. Conversation is very companionable. Some people are working on the project, others seem to be working on their own side projects. A portion of the sales from each kit …

Synthesis And Characterization Of A Phenyl Substituted Zinc Dipyrrin Photosensitizer, Kole Owen

Dr. Jay W. Boland Undergraduate Research Symposium [2023-2024]

The utilization of solar energy remains secondary to the combustion of fossil fuels for global energy consumption. To better utilize this abundant energy resource, experimental effort is being directed towards the understanding of photosensitizers, molecules that absorb solar radiation and use that energy to initiate redox chemistry in artificial photosynthesis mechanisms. A zinc dipyrrin, one such class of photosensitizer, is attempted to be synthesized with phenyl substitutions in order to probe aromatic substituent effects on the molecule’s photophysics.

The Effect Of The Pyramid Shape On Compost Smell, Elizabeth Klosko

Proceedings of GREAT Day

SUNY Geneseo's campus has a compost collecting program where students, faculty, and staff can dispose of their compostable items in bins which are emptied weekly. How-ever, the bins release a putrid scent when opened, deterring SUNY Geneseo community members from using them. A phenomenon commonly known as Pyramid Power claims that the pyramid shape, when exactly scaled to the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza, has properties that, once compostable items are put under it, can limit the growth of micro-organisms and therefore reduce the foul smell. Using a 3-D printing device, we will scale and print the pyramid …

The Effects Of Deforestation On Yellow Fever Virus Transmission, Meghan Sheridan

Proceedings of GREAT Day

Deforestation is increasingly associated with the transmission of zoonotic viruses, such as the Yellow Fever virus in South America and Africa. Increasing rates of deforestation within countries on these land masses may cause viral transmission to accelerate, but that may depend on the various factors responsible for deforestation. The purpose of this study is to determine what climate factors are increasing the rate of viral transmission. For example, the deforestation caused in areas of increased precipitation may have different effects on animal hosts and vectors (e.g. mosquito) of the Yellow Fever virus compared to deforestation caused in areas of lower …

How Patient-Provider Interactions Influence Patient Experiences, Emily Lumbis

Proceedings of GREAT Day

The interaction between a patient and a provider is crucial to the success of any medical or healthcare appointment. It often goes overlooked, and there is more of a focus on the provider correctly diagnosing and treating the patient. Although patients will remember the success of being properly diagnosed and treated for an illness, what truly stands out is the way the interaction went. This ethnographic research project focuses on provider-patient interactions from the patient's perspective, and how those interactions shaped their experiences. The goal of this study was to better understand the interactions between patients and providers and the …

One Step Forward, Three Steps Back, Laura Montes

Proceedings of GREAT Day

Access to comprehensive and equitable sexual and reproductive health care is an ever-growing subject of discussion, especially in countries such as the U.S. where this right is constantly threatened by factors including, but not limited to, social, political, and economic status. Studies show that comprehensive sex education and services, such as contraception, STD prevention and treatment, pregnancy care, including abortion, encourage healthy adolescent development and have well-documented positive effects on societies world-wide. Unfortunately, too many people in the U.S. encounter unnecessary barriers to the sexual health information and services they need to be healthy and make safe decisions regarding their …

The Innovations Of Modern Dance, Shannon Ervay

Proceedings of GREAT Day

As Art Nouveau became prominent within American style and physical culture was establishing itself among the United States, the art of dance was evolving with the times. With the shift in art style came a collaboration of ideas in the arts, including the combination of movement and emotion studied by Francois Delsarte and the blend of music and movement in the teachings of Emile Jaques-Dalcroze. As a result of the work of these artists and the changing lifestyle of the United States, new innovations were brought into the world of dance. Previously viewed as an art known for the structure …

The Impact Of The African Diaspora On 20th Century Dance, Jaina Dinino

Proceedings of GREAT Day

The 20th century has been recognized as an era of integrating African American dancers into modern dance. During this period there was an overarching sentiment of inclusion, cultural expression, and weakening the significance of race defining identity. This universal sentiment among African American dancers and choreographers throughout the 20th century influenced dancers like Arthur Mitchell to establish companies and dedicate their careers to uplifting African American dancers. Overall, the emphasis of inclusion, cultural expression, and the popular notion that race shouldn't define one's identity as a dancer during the 20th century led Mitchell to establish the Dance Theatre of Harlem …

Misogyny, Monstrosity, And Patterns Of Power In Old English Literature, Lauren Silverman

Proceedings of GREAT Day

This paper examines the Old English poems of Beowulf and the lesser-known elegy The Wife's Lament in the light of modern understandings of gender and gender theory. In particular, it will look at the ways women's deviation from gender norms is treated as a deviation from nature itself. In The Wife's Lament, the nameless narrator finds herself exiled from her community, one of the worst fates one could experience in the Anglo-Saxon world, for her departure from gender confinements in order to be reunited with her husband, while in Beowulf, Grendel's Mother is killed for the same set of actions …

Samson's Performance Of Strength And Superiority In Milton's Samson Agonistes, Anders Isaac Schiller

Proceedings of GREAT Day

In one of John Milton's final works, Samson Agonistes, the broken hero Samson stands apart from his Israelite countrymen in both ability and closeness to God. At birth, Samson is gifted immense strength which is connected to his hair and a prophecy that declares that he will "lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines." In one interpretation of the drama, Milton understands that Samson is of what he considers to be the "lower" Jewish race, but he still writes Samson as a prefiguration of Christianity because he supposedly transcends his Judaism. Contrastingly, I posit that Milton …

Reflections On The Impact Of Covid-19 On Pre-College Engineering Education: An Afterword To The Special Issue, Meltem Alemdar, Roxanne Moore, Hoda Ehsan

Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research (J-PEER)

In our call for proposals, our aim was to explore and document how COVID-19 has impacted pre-college engineering education (Alemdar et al., 2021). During COVID-19, engineering pre-college educators quickly adapted to new learning environments and technologies for teaching and learning. It was important to document these adaptations and lessons learned in formal and informal learning settings. The papers that made up this special show how lessons learned during this challenging time can inform the future of precollege engineering education. The papers offer both theoretical argumentation and empirical evidence to support their answers to the question of how adaptations during COVID-19 …
