 Eva Boodman, Ph.D
Eva Boodman specializes in social and political philosophy, feminist and applied ethics, critical race theory, and carceral studies. Her current research develops normative approaches to the ways that institutions like schools, prisons, nursing homes, and social service organizations reproduce or mitigate structural dynamics. Her recent work has appeared in Philosophy & Social Criticism, the Journal of Ethical Urban Living, and Radical Teacher, and she is currently working on a book project on community care.

Patrick uses a combination of observational, comparative, and experimental methods to study the factors that shape community structure, primarily in aquatic systems. Much of his work has examined predator-prey interactions in size-structured populations using a variety of organisms including: aquatic insects, snails, amphibians, and trematode parasites. He is also interested in ecotoxicology and has studied how agricultural pesticides and pharmaceuticals affect aquatic organisms. Most recently, He has become involved in a project examining the role of urbanization and land use change on aquatic turtle population structure.

 Jennifer Walker, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Environmental Science
Ph.D., Oceanography, Rutgers University

856.256.5247
Discovery Hall, Room 314A
Jennifer is broadly interested in sea-level research and climate and how sea level rise into the future will affect coastal communities. Her research examines past sea-level change to bridge the gap between short-term instrumental records and long-term geological reconstructions and to better understand future sea-level rise under changing climate. She focuses on reconstructing Holocene sea-level changes along the U.S. Atlantic coast using biological and geological indicators, which are used to quantify rates of sea-level change and examine spatial and temporal variability. The goal of this research is to improve understanding of past sea level to better predict how sea level rise into the future will affect coastal systems and coastal communities.
