Jim Fairhall <\/span><\/a>from the Department of English will <\/span>talk about his book “Perfume River,” a book-length fictional short story cycle revolving around the period of the Vietnam War and subsequent decades.

Caitlin Karver<\/span><\/a> from the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry will be discussing the work done by her research group that studies inflammation at a chemical level. They have been developing chemical tools to study proteins called inflammatory caspases that are implicated in diseases such as gout, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and sepsis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elizabeth Mill\u00e1n<\/span><\/a> from the Department of Philosophy will present on Alexander von Humboldt’s presentation of nature, in particular how Humboldt\u2019s view of the Latin American landscape was distinct from typical Eurocentric views of the period.<\/span><\/p>\n
