Previous versions of journalism history had reduced the role these women played at their newspapers and with their readership\u2014if they were mentioned at all. For decades, the only place for women in newspapers was the women\u2019s pages. While often dismissed as fluff by management, these sections documented social changes and encouraged women\u2019s roles in the public sphere.<\/p>\n<p>These women\u2019s page editors were smart, feisty and ahead of their time. They left a great legacy for today\u2019s women journalists. The author of multiple books on this topic, Voss will discuss the significant roles these women played in the post-World War II years, laying the foundation for a changing role for women.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>10.23.19 | 6:00 PM<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Lubricants and Glitter: Revolutionizing Sexual Assault Investigations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While DNA is the go-to forensic evidence in sexual assault cases, the reality is the use of condoms is increasing in an effort to minimize the type of DNA left at the crime scene, e.g. sperm\/semen. In the absence of DNA, it is necessary to identify other types of evidence that could be used to link the three points in the criminal triangle: victim, suspect and crime scene.<\/p>\n<p>One type of evidence that has not been explored is lubricant analysis. Creating a comprehensive lubricant database with traits like silicone or water bases and flavorings, crime scene analysis can provide more clues for investigators to search for. Another type of commonly overlooked evidence are cosmetic particles that may transfer during physical contact, e.g. glitter and shimmer particles.<\/p>\n<p>This talk will discuss current efforts underway to understand the evidentiary value of lubricant and cosmetic evidence and appropriate analytical methods to analyze and characterize unknown samples collected in a sexual assault or physical assault cases.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>01.22.20 | 6:00 PM<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Coastal Disasters: Preparing Resilient Communities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the U.S., we continue to see an increase in billion-dollar disasters. The 2017 Hurricane Season \u2014 most notably Harvey, Irma and Maria \u2014 caused an estimated $300 billion in damages and tested those communities\u2019 disaster resilience. Long-term recovery planning is an essential element of a community\u2019s resiliency. However, the majority of local governments lack the capacity for long-term planning, which has led to repeated policy and organizational failures during and after disasters.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Claire Connolly Knox, an expert on post-disaster resilience planning and policy, will present the results of her research with examples from Florida, Louisiana and Texas.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>02.26.20 | 6:00 PM<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>\u00a0Unearthing Rosewood: An Archaeology of Violence and Hope<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Rosewood was a prosperous African American community hard-won from the swampy hammocks of north Florida. \u00a0Although the town was destroyed in 1923, the community continued, scattered across the state of Florida and beyond. Now, nearly 100 years after this tragic event the story of Rosewood remains shrouded from public view. Those who have heard of Rosewood are rarely aware of the community\u2019s deeper history, or its relation to other places across the state.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gonz\u00e1lez-Tennant will discuss the role of archaeology and geospatial sciences in unearthing Rosewood\u2019s complex history. In addition to describing how digital technologies aid traditional archaeological methods, he\u2019ll discuss the importance of outreach and its ability to support a public conversation on racial reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>03.25.20 | 6:00 PM<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Big Data &amp; Virtual Classrooms: Reshaping How We Teach and Learn<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Can a new piece of technology change the way we teach and learn?\u00a0 This claim dates back to the invention of \u201ceducational-radio\u201d in the 1920s. Yet most of the lecture halls today still look very much the same as those several hundred years ago. What is the evidence that the latest advancements in online learning technology are any different from all its predecessors, and holds the potential to finally change teaching and learning at scale?<\/p>\n<p>In this talk, Dr. Zhongzhou Chen will share his vision of how online learning and big data-based educational research could significantly re-shape some of the fundamental building blocks of teaching and learning today. Changes ranging from courses, textbooks, assessments, grades, to schools and credentials. Those changes can substantially transform the traditional course-based learning experience.\u00a0 This would be similar to taking an out dated public transportation system that moves passengers between fixed locations according to a pre-determined schedule, towards creating an \u201cintelligent highway system\u201d of learning. This system would give every student the opportunity to become the driver of their own learning process, guided by GPS signals created from big-data based learning research.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>04.22.20 | 6:00 PM<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>On the Brink: Wildlife Diseases Epidemics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Emerging infectious diseases are threatening wildlife populations worldwide, and the genetic, environmental and evolutionary drivers of disease emergence remain elusive. Cold-blooded animals appear particularly vulnerable to disease outbreaks, and this may be linked to their dependence on environmental temperature for maintaining physiological processes such as immune function.<\/p>\n<p>In this talk, Dr. Savage will describe some of the ecological and evolutionary drivers of disease in frogs and sea turtles, including experimental and field-based analyses. Using genetic and genomic characterization of host and pathogen populations in an ecological context, she will highlight the immune processes that are contributing to disease emergence and persistence, emphasizing similarities and differences across diverse host species.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The College of Sciences Distinguished Speaker Series brings renowned speakers to enrich the lives of members of the Central Florida community.
