A heart for the humanities

In late August, Carolina heralded the arrival

of 4,254 first-year students at an evening convocation in Carmichael Arena. A brief shower during the ceremony left a spectacular rainbow for all of us exiting the building to enjoy. I snapped a photo and posted it on Twitter (yes, I am on Twitter now — at @unccollegedean). To me, it symbolized the great things ahead for our newest Tar Heels. A few short weeks later, the College of Arts and Sciences formally launched a major new initiative, “Carolina’s Human Heart: Living the Kevin M. Guskiewicz Arts and Humanities,” to which most of this issue is devoted. Last spring, I asked Terry Rhodes, senior associate dean for fine arts and humanities, to spearhead this effort because I wanted to highlight the important work that our faculty, staff and students across the College are conducting on topics that add meaning and value to our lives, that provide historical context, that help us think creatively and approach big challenges in bold new ways. Those areas are reflected in the six subject themes of the initiative: social justice, an enlightened citizenry, tolerance and understanding, global engagement, food and the environment, and storytelling. In all, we have nearly two dozen academic departments and curricula and 10 interdisciplinary centers in the College devoted to the fine arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences (areas such as history, archaeology and anthropology that fall under the humanities’ broad canopy). Of course, these units are not alone in taking on issues of great importance. Our faculty in the natural sciences are approaching many of the same topics from different angles. I believe there is true strength and synergy when the arts and sciences work together to tackle complicated, multifaceted problems. That’s why I’m working to create more interdisciplinary opportunities in the College and bringing fresh approaches to team teaching, new courses and research endeavors. Last spring, when the College brought the eloquent Fareed Zakaria to campus to talk about the value of a liberal arts education — to a packed auditorium, I am proud to report — he told the audience, “Science alone cannot suffice to comprise the broad, deep education that the United States has always been very good at. We teach people how to think, and that may turn out to be a more successful skill at succeeding in life.” “Carolina’s Human Heart” is a yearlong initiative devoted to continuing that conversation. Best,

A: This is my life’s passion. I’ve been a UNC faculty member for almost 30 years. I’m moving into my fifth year as senior associate dean for fine arts and humanities, and I’ve been teaching and performing for a long time. I see on a daily basis the way arts and humanities can create bridges of understanding. I know how a book or play or performance or oped can really have an impact and make significant differences in people’s lives. As a Fulbright artist-in-residence in Eastern Europe in the ’90s, I have been invited back to Macedonia this fall to present concerts and master classes as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Conservatory of Music in Skopje. My residency there over 20 years ago certainly provided transformative experiences for me and I believe also benefited those with whom I interacted, through exchanges that enabled us to have a deeper understanding of one another and of our respective cultures and societies. The humanities and arts continually provide these types of opportunities — enriching lives, bridging differences and Kristen Chavez

Popular minor connects philosophy, politics, economics BY CYNDY FALGOUT

Steve Exum

Anyone interested in changing the world must understand how institutions and systems work, and how the political and social environments in which they operate shape them all. UNC’s Philosophy, Politics and Economics Program, known around campus as PPE, offers a minor designed to help students develop such understanding. “The PPE minor provides the tools needed to think fruitfully and articulately about how the world works and what can be done to improve it,” said PPE Director Geoffrey Sayre-McCord, MoreheadCain Alumni Distinguished Professor. UNC’s PPE program, launched in 2005, builds on Oxford University’s PPE Program, which began in 1924 and became the primary academic degree program for England’s leaders in government, nongovernmental organizations and business. Each year, UNC’s 270 declared PPE minors come from a wide range of majors — biology, business, economics, global studies, history, journalism, philosophy, political science, public policy and sociology. Many are attracted to the PPE minor because they “appreciate that it brings the social sciences and humanities together into a coherent program that is more than the sum of its parts,” SayreMcCord said. Any student, regardless of their major, may enroll in the PPE minor, which requires a gateway course, one course each in philosophy, politics and economics, and a capstone seminar. UNC’s PPE program collaborates with Duke University to co-convene the gateway and capstone courses. The gateway course introduces students to the quantitative techniques, conceptual tools and core principles of the three disciplines, emphasizing the ways they complement one another. The capstone seminar, typically taken in a student’s senior year, examines advanced issues at the intersection of the three disciplines, such as taxation, health care, climate change, globalization or human rights, shaped largely by the students’ interests. Students may also apply an interdisciplinary approach to examine a topic of their choosing. The PPE program offers an active extracurricular program including semester-long reading groups, intensive weekend seminars and a speaker series, all open to people outside the minor. A national undergraduate colloquium brings 20 outstanding PPE students from across the country to UNC each year to discuss a core topic with moral, economic and political dimensions — an initiative that has positioned UNC’s program as a national leader in PPE education. ➤ For more information, visit ppe.unc.edu.

Today he focuses his research on food insecurity issues in neighboring Burkina Faso.

Before showing the film, she asked audience members if they knew anything about the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Few, if any, raised their hands. Ndaliko knew she had more work to do.

Exploring Muslim identities BY CYNDY FALGOUT

Popular culture tends to view the world’s great religions as monolithic identities, when the complex history of religion encompasses a spectrum of beliefs based on location, culture and myriad other factors. UNC Islamic studies scholar Carl W. Ernst will lead an examination of the diversity of Muslim beliefs through an interdisciplinary conference to be held on the Carolina campus in October. A complementary 11-performance series hosted by Carolina Performing Arts will feature music and dance from four Muslimmajority nations.

“We hope these activities will stimulate critical reflection on campus about how we conceptualize the ‘Muslim World’ given the diversity of cultural expression among majority-Muslim societies,” said Ernst, William R.

He’ll serve as site manager for a residency in Brazil in 2017. McInerney’s piece will focus on a podcast he produces for WUNC, “Stories with a Heartbeat,” which “helps us understand the complexity of the human condition in conflict and seeks to humanize dehumanizing situations,” he said. Previous podcast episodes have examined the Chapel Hill shootings. McInerney said spoken word poetry is such a powerful form of storytelling because “it’s at the core of what it means to be human.” “Long before stories were ever written down, they were spoken aloud. On every continent and in every culture, you can find a legacy of the oral tradition of storytelling. … Stories affect the way we think, speak and act every day.

When I was a kid, I fell in love with the organ by watching our parish organist play. I remember being in awe over his ability to operate this really complex instrument and being amazed by the variety of sounds he could produce by it.

THE POLITICS OF POLARIZATION

BY DEE REID

he road to the White House is usually rocky. But this time the pavement has been split wide open by extreme polarization — and not just between Democrats and Republicans. The landscape within the parties has also fractured into the mainstream and the mavericks. Major polls overseen by UNC alumnus Tom Jensen at Public Policy Polling showed more than half of voters disapproved of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump after their parties officially nominated them to run for president. And all of this occurred during an election season rocked by mass shootings, anxiety about terrorism, and violence against African-Americans and police officers. Only one thing seems clear as Nov. 8 approaches: Fault lines have shifted beneath the political parties. How this shakes out may affect the balance of power in national politics for at least a generation, according to four UNC experts.

[ TRUMP ’S APPEAL ] When flamboyant developer Donald J. Trump rose to the top of the GOP ticket, pundits struggled to explain his sudden appeal. The conventional wisdom was that his “Make America Great Again” campaign was attracting disaffected white working-class conservatives concerned about lost jobs and stagnating wages. But it’s not that simple, said UNC political scientist and alumnus Jonathan Weiler (Ph.D. political science ’99), coauthor of Authoritarianism and Polarization in American Politics. (The 2009 book won the American Political Science

COL L EGE.U N C . E D U

Association’s Philip E. Converse Book Award this year.) Trump’s base is indeed largely white, but it includes both working class and professional voters who may not consider themselves traditional conservatives, said Weiler. What they share, he added, is a “highly authoritarian” perspective that has solidified during the increased polarization of Americans over the past generation. This has resulted in “the sorting of people with very different worldviews into two major political camps,” Weiler explained. When Bill Clinton was first elected president in 1992, authoritarian-minded voters were about as likely to vote Democratic as they were to vote Republican. But by 2004, authoritarian-leaning voters had fled the Democratic Party and joined the GOP. And non-authoritarians who once voted Republican had shifted to the Dems. Those trends have solidified during the Obama years. Weiler says highly authoritarian people tend to: • See the world in simplistic, black-and-white terms, with little room for nuance. • Hold an us-vs.-them view that is intolerant of out-groups, whom they blame for the unraveling of America’s social fabric (African-Americans, immigrants, gays, Muslims). • Believe in the need to project strength in the most straightforward, uncompromising way possible. “That, in a nutshell, is Trump’s campaign,” said Weiler, a senior lecturer and director of undergraduate studies in the curriculum in global studies. “Non-authoritarians,” meanwhile, have settled into the

Weiler says they tend to: • Be concerned about fairness and accuracy. • Have an aversion to prejudicial thinking and judgments. • Value personal autonomy over social conformity. • Be broadly opinionated.

[ C L I N TO N ’ S C H A L L E N G E ] The Democratic Party has also experienced internal strife, with voters splitting their support between a mainstream candidate (Hillary Clinton) and a maverick calling for a political revolution (Bernie Sanders). Although Clinton clinched the nomination with strong support among Hispanics and African-Americans, she knew she needed to broaden her support to ensure a general election victory. She began to reach out to more mainstream Democrats, as well as Republicans disenchanted with Trump, while trying to ensure that a critical mass of progressive Sanders voters turn out to pull the lever for her in November. Ongoing concern about American safety and security could be the wildcard in the race. After police were killed following the “Black Lives Matters” protests, Trump began calling himself the “law and order candidate.” Clinton underscored her “stronger together” theme, focusing on the need for all sides to unite to address violent crime and heal tensions between police and minorities. The ability of Clinton and Trump to broaden their appeal will affect the down-ballot races. While Trump is the clear favorite of highly authoritarian voters forming the GOP base, they make up only about a third of the general electorate, said Weiler.

[ TURNOUT IS KEY ] Trump’s animosity to Muslims, immigrants, women and free trade have turned off moderate Republicans and traditional conservatives, and could cause some to stay home on Election Day, affecting not only the presidential race but important battles for Senate seats in swing states. “With a more traditional candidate, the GOP would have had a very good chance of winning the White House while maintaining control of Congress and continuing a conservative majority on the Supreme Court,” said Jason Roberts, associate professor of political science and an expert on congressional politics. “It would have been a huge opportunity to maintain political power for generations.” That’s unlikely to happen if the Democrats succeed in portraying Trump as too reckless for the presidency. Clinton, on the other hand, must overcome lingering doubts about her trustworthiness (those emails) among traditional Democrats, independents, Sanders supporters and

anti-Trump Republicans to influence down-ballot races. A big enough turnout could give the Democrats majority control of the Senate — the key to unjamming gridlock and securing a liberal majority on the U.S. Supreme Court for the first time since the Nixon presidency, according to Roberts. Anxiety about Trump among liberals, minorities and women could enhance Democratic turnout, despite mixed feelings that some have about Clinton. “Trump makes the choice between the two parties starker than usual, even if many of the policies espoused by Trump are not typical of a Republican platform,” said assistant professor of political science Sarah Treul, who studies Congress and the courts. “The choice of voting for Clinton or Trump is more than a vote for a party — it’s a vote for the future direction of the country — and the choices could not be more disparate.” This could have long-term implications for the GOP, especially as millions of children of Latino immigrants become old enough to vote, said Roberts. “Trump could be handing over a generation of new voters to the Democrats.”

[ AT S TA K E : T H E S U P R E M E CO U R T ] The U.S. Supreme Court is likely to weigh in on several major issues during the next president’s term, said associate professor of political science Isaac Unah, author of The Supreme Court in American Politics. The court is expected to review cases involving immigration, affirmative action, abortion rights, campaign financing and voting rights. Since Supreme Court justices are appointed to life terms, the November elections could affect the balance of power on the court for generations. Even a narrow win by Trump would likely mean the GOP maintains control of the Senate and a relatively easy path for confirming conservative appointments to the court, said Unah. If Clinton wins narrowly and the Democrats do not gain majority control of the Senate, Unah said the Republican majority in the Senate could approve Obama’s nomination of moderate Merrick Garland, filling the vacancy left by the death of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia. If Clinton wins big and the Democrats gain the Senate, the Republicans could still decide to approve Garland before Clinton takes office in January, he said. Obama could decide to withdraw the Garland nomination, although Unah thinks that is less likely. Under that scenario, Clinton could win approval of her own nominee to fill Scalia’s seat — and perhaps fill other vacancies during her term — tipping the balance of the court to liberals for the first time since the Nixon presidency.

a place so often photographed, that place we know as ‘the South?’” Tom Rankin writes in the foreword to The South in Color: A Visual Journal. “You start early and you keep at it, you stay in it for the long haul while others come and go.” This succinctly describes the path William Ferris, folklorist and scholar, took to produce this body of work. These 100 photographs from the 1960s and ’70s were selected from the more than 80,000 he has archived at the Southern Folklife Collection at UNC. The South in Color completes an informal trilogy Ferris began with Give My Poor Heart Ease and The Storied South. The earlier works featured his black-and-white photographs of Southern musicians and writers; this is his first book of color photographs. Ferris is Joel R. Williamson Eminent Professor of History and senior associate director of the Center for the Study of the American South in UNC’s College of Arts and Sciences. He is the former chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Russia expert Donald Raleigh makes working with graduate students a top priority. He won the 2016 Faculty Award for Excellence in Doctoral Mentoring.

“Growing up in Dr. Strangelove’s America, with the Cold War in my face, had an impact on my interest in Russian studies,” said Donald J. Raleigh, Jay Richard Judson Distinguished Professor of History. “Studying the Russian language was remote, mysterious and difficult — qualities that made it appealing to me.” In 1971, as a senior Russian area studies major at Knox College in Illinois, Raleigh was chosen to be in the third group of American undergraduates to spend a semester at Leningrad University. “It was very hard, the living conditions were grim, and I was hospitalized due to a parasitic infection for 10 days in a 19th-century military hospital with very poor conditions,” Raleigh said. “It was a tough experience but one that confirmed my interest in Russian studies, Russian culture and my commitment to the field.”

Afterward, Raleigh enrolled in the Ph.D. program at Indiana University, where he became the first Anglo-American scholar to write about the Russian Revolution in provincial Russia. “Up to that point, all of our scholarship was based on the capital city, but I thought, ‘What about the Des Moines of Russia or the Peoria of Russia?’” he said. Raleigh has written extensively about the revolution, with an emphasis on the local history of the Saratov region. The city of Saratov was physically off-limits to foreigners until 1990, when it was opened thanks to Gorbachev and perestroika. “I had a fellowship in 1990 at the National Humanities Center to write my second Saratov book, but I had the chance to go to Saratov for the first time and have access to Russian archives,” he said. “I made the decision to start the project over and spent the following 10 summers researching in that provincial city.” The result was his book Experiencing Russia’s Civil War: Politics, Society and Revolutionary Culture in Saratov, 1917–1922. Raleigh, director of the Center for Slavic, Eurasian and East European Studies at UNC, is currently researching a biography of Leonid Brezhnev, who led the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982, longer than any other Soviet leader besides Stalin. “One of the interesting things about Brezhnev is that since the start of the new millennium, he is the most popular Russian leader of the 20th century, according to annual public opinion surveys, but there is no academic biography of him,” said Raleigh. This past summer, Raleigh spent three weeks in Kazakhstan, where Brezhnev was a party boss from 1954 to 1956. His research has already taken him to Moldova and Russia. Next year he will work in archives in Ukraine. Raleigh has had access to Brezhnev’s diary, which is not available to the public. “I was invited by several Russian historians to help publish the diary this year in Moscow,” he said. Raleigh wrote about Brezhnev’s foreign policy for the introduction of the published diary. He also wrote “Leonid Brezhnev: Soviet Man of Peace,” an English-language article that will be published in Kritika, an international journal of Russian studies. While Raleigh loves his research, working with graduate students is a top priority. This commitment was recognized this spring when he was awarded the 2016 Faculty Award for Excellence in Doctoral Mentoring. “I’m obviously very humbled and delighted by the award and the fact that former students took the time to nominate me,” he said. Raleigh has mentored 22 Ph.D. students. Each year, he organizes a get-together for them during the annual Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies conference. “A multigenerational group of my current and former students from all over the world come together for a meal,” he said. “I am particularly proud that my students are shaping the field, creating new knowledge about Russia and fostering networks of support for one another.”

For example, breast tumors have stiffness three to 10 times greater than normal tissue. Viscoelasticity projects include: studying cell-to-cell interactions to understand the mechanics of earlystage breast cancer, developing and using a new type of ultrasound imaging to detect blood clots at a very early stage, and imaging the biomechanics of mucus-thinning cystic fibrosis therapies. In addition, she is working with UNC biologists on a new project to detect possible receptors on sea turtles that guide their precise navigation back to nests. She also partners with UNC otolaryngologists to map the size and shape of the upper airway for sleep apnea and airway narrowing in pediatric patients. “Accurate pictures are important to guide treatment decisions,” she explained. In 2014, Oldenburg received a National Science Foundation CAREER award, its most prestigious, to support her work in breast cancer. As part of the NSF award, she codirects the ADMIRES program (Assisting in Development and Mentoring an Innovative Research Experience in Science), in which area eighth- and ninth-graders partner with UNC mentors to conduct research in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Oldenburg partners with UNC’s Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs on this effort. “A scientific education gives you a way of critically evaluating information and the world and the ability to solve complex problems,” she said. As a new member of the National Institutes of Health’s scientific review study section on Biomedical Imaging Technology, Oldenburg describes her research as “pushing the envelope.

But to validate the efficacy of the program, they needed to know whether participants were taking the medication regularly enough to protect against infection. “You have to take the pill every single day for it to be maximally effective,” Daughtridge said. “Taking a daily medication is very difficult.

The program Daughtridge and Koenig started in Philadelphia, where they field-tested and continue to use UrSure, has an 80 percent adherence rate. Neither Daughtridge nor Koenig had business experience, yet the venture competition required them to submit a business plan. Daughtridge took an entrepreneurial finance class at Harvard, then took online courses in finance management, operations, and marketing and sales so he could “at least speak the language” when pitching UrSure to venture capitalists. Daughtridge and Koenig are using the $50,000 prize money from the New Venture Competition to begin developing a point-of-care test, similar to a home pregnancy test that gives an immediate answer. Their current test requires that specimens be processed at a lab, and it takes a few days to get the results. Next May, Daughtridge will graduate with his M.D. and a master’s in public policy. Rather than pursue a residency that would enable him to practice as a physician, he plans to work full time to grow UrSure. “We’ve had great traction lately,” Daughtridge said. “I get the most excitement and fulfillment out of working on the startup and approaching health care from the entrepreneurship and policy side.” Imagine what he can do with more than just his spare time.

Max von Essen ’96 as Henri in An American in Paris on Broadway. He received a Tony nomination for the role.

Broadway breakthrough Von Essen enjoys his moment in the spotlight BY PAMELA BABCOCK

When Max von Essen’s parents took him to see Liberace at Radio City Music Hall, the second-grader couldn’t believe his eyes. He loved all the glitz and glamour as the lavish performer rolled on stage in a custom Rolls-Royce and played a rhinestone-studded piano with fountains in the background choreographed to the music. But more important, von Essen was amazed at how Liberace’s fingers ran up and down the keys. After the show, he returned to his piano lessons in earnest. “It was the most colorful, out-of-this world thing I had ever seen,” said von Essen (music/economics ’96). “It may sound cheesy, but I came home and I was just so inspired, I practiced like you couldn’t believe.” Seeing Liberace helped to foster von Essen’s love of music and theater. He’s currently starring in An American in Paris on Broadway, a musical adaptation of the classic 1951 movie,

which garnered four Tony Awards. A native of the New York City area, von Essen fell in love with UNC after auditioning for the music department: “The vibe was amazing, and I knew I was going to really have a home there.” After graduation, he returned to New York and waited tables before landing a yearlong gig as a backup singer for Liza Minnelli. “It was pretty surreal to be 22 and touring Monte Carlo, Vegas and L.A. in limos and on stage with her,” von Essen recalled. Von Essen made his Broadway debut as the understudy for Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, toured Europe playing Tony in West Side Story and starred in Dance of the Vampires, an admitted flop. In Les Miserables on Broadway, von Essen played revolutionary leader Enjolras. And in the last Broadway revival of Evita, von Essen performed as Agustín Magaldi and frequently stepped in for singer Ricky Martin in the role of Che. After the 9/11 attacks in New York, von Essen took a break from the stage and looked inward. His father, Thomas Von Essen, was the city’s fire commissioner. The city was suffering. The younger von Essen was asked to sing the national anthem at events and memorials. “I was truly beaten down,” von Essen said. “Yet it was amazing to be this New York actor and singer and also the son of the fire commissioner and to somehow bring that together. I was honored to lend my voice.” Von Essen’s most fulfilling role is his current one as Henri, a Parisian aristocrat, which gave him his first Tony Award nomination, for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. Von Essen had always loved classic Hollywood film musicals featuring Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Judy Garland, and An American in Paris is from that tradition. It also features the work of George Gershwin, one of the first composers von Essen discovered. His mother often took him to music stores to buy Gershwin anthologies. In the production, his showstopper is “I’ll Build a Stairway to Paradise,” in which a small jazz club is transformed into Radio City Music Hall in a high-kicking number replete with showgirls and chorus boys. An American in Paris got a rave review in The New York Times. The newspaper called von Essen “a gifted actor… who here gives a hard-earned breakthrough performance of great sensitivity and charm.” The show will close Oct. 9. What’s next? Von Essen isn’t sure, but he isn’t worried, either. Maybe another Broadway show. Or more television and film — he’s done guest spots on The Good Wife and Boardwalk Empire. He’s also booking a one-man show to take on tour. And best of all, he’s doing what he loves. “I always sort of land on my feet.”

Agency represents mental abilities such as self-control, morality, emotion recognition, communication and thought. More advanced minds have both more experience and agency, but often there is a separation between these two dimensions, like a border between countries. Gray and Wegner write about all types of human-created cryptominds, from RealDolls — life-size mannequins that double, for some people, as intimate life partners — to the MIT-created “Kismet,” a robot with the emotional capacity of a young child. “If you have ever passionately kissed an inanimate object, you are not alone,” they write. Creepy concepts don’t bother Gray — his favorite chapter is on the dead. When our loved ones die, the minds of the deceased stay in our thoughts and we say things like: “Grandma would approve of this.” Gray experienced this phenomenon himself after Wegner’s death from ALS (a neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord) in 2013. Gray’s coauthor had been diagnosed shortly after submitting the book proposal in 2010, and as “a last request of a dying man,” Gray finished the work. “I was constantly trying to perceive Dan’s mind — wondering how he would phrase something or what joke he might make,” he said. “I think Dan was comfortable passing away without finishing the book because he knew that I would do it for him. … He knew that he had trained me to think and write in his image. I think he would approve of the book.” ➤ A longer version of this story appeared in Endeavors (endeavors.unc. edu). Find more books by Carolina alumni and faculty at magazine.college.unc.edu.

Welcome to the Mind Club BY ALYSSA LAFARO

This past spring, the Cincinnati Zoo made international headlines when a 3-year-old boy climbed into the enclosure of a gorilla named Harambe. Zookeepers made the heart-rending decision to kill the endangered gorilla to rescue the boy. In the uproar that followed, those who opposed killing the gorilla emphasized Harambe’s vulnerability; those who supported the action focused on the vulnerability of the child. Humans generally perceive the minds of both children and animals as “vulnerable feelers” and deserving of protection, according to Kurt Gray, UNC assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience. That’s what made the situation so untenable: Our hearts melted for both but the zookeepers could protect only one. “Vulnerable feelers are passive minds with moral rights that have actions done to them, like the minds of puppies, medical patients and babies,” Gray said. This is why animal lovers give their pets emotions and feelings — and why they’re

outraged when harm is done to them. “‘Thinking doers’ are active minds with moral responsibility that do actions — minds like corporations and gods.” In the case of Harambe and the child, the “thinking doers” are the zookeepers. “Our tendency is to see animals through human lenses,” Gray said about the tragedy. “We can’t imagine what it’s like to actually be a gorilla. We can only imagine what it’s like to be us being a gorilla.” Gray has termed difficult cases of mind, like those of animals and babies, “cryptominds” — a subject he and coauthor Daniel Wegner unwrap in their book, The Mind Club: Who Thinks, What Feels, and Why it Matters (Penguin Group, 2016). Gray and the late Harvard University psychology professor discuss what it means to have a mind and who (or what) belongs in “the mind club.” “A mind is not an objective fact as much as it is a gift given by the person who perceives it,” Gray said. “Mind is a matter of perception with members being granted admission into the mind club based not on what they are but on

We’ve already seen a number of successes. The Kapp Family Dean’s Innovation Fund makes it possible for even more students and faculty to work together and spur critical thinking in new ways.” Kapp, principal at Maverick Capital, a New York-based investment partnership, first set foot on the Carolina campus in fall 1976. A senior at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area, he had no family connections to Carolina, but was drawn to UNC because of its academic reputation. While he enjoyed his humanities and social sciences classes as an undergraduate — a history course with Carlyle Sitterson was particularly engaging — Kapp developed an aptitude for numbers and investing. A memorable Carolina moment came when, as a junior economics major, he had the opportunity to

The speaker was Arthur Laffer, known as the father of supply-side economics, an adviser to Ronald Reagan (who would be elected president the following fall). After graduation, Kapp spent six months in Aspen, Colorado, before joining Advantage International, a sports marketing and management firm in 1983, where he represented professional tennis players. By 1988, he was looking for a career change that reflected his growing interest in finance. Kapp returned to Chapel Hill and earned his MBA at KenanFlagler Business School in 1990. In 1993, he was a co-founder of Longwood Partners, a private investment partnership. In 1996, Kapp joined Carolina classmate Lee Ainslie (MBA ’90) at Maverick, a highly successful hedge fund company with offices in New York, Dallas, Philadelphia and San Francisco. At Maverick, he managed the healthcare investment portfolio. Kapp also supports the College of Arts and Sciences through the Steve and Courtney Kapp Endowment Fund for Academic Leadership, and gives to Kenan-Flagler Business School through the Steven H. Kapp MBA Fellowship, in addition to annual support for both units. Kapp also serves on the Arts and Sciences Foundation Board of Directors. As a financial professional, Kapp was drawn to Guskiewicz’s vision for the fund and the results-oriented focus of the disciplines it supports. “Intellectual capital is the engine of growth, and I’m delighted to be able to support students and faculty who have the potential to find creative solutions to societal problems,” Kapp said.

more distinguished professorships in the College of Arts and Sciences. The donor, a longtime supporter of the College, directed his gift to create professorships in the departments of communication and history, two of the larger academic departments at Carolina. The gift will be made upon the death of the donor. Endowed professorships help recruit or retain outstanding faculty by providing salary support and research funding. Professorships funded at $2 million or more provide the most flexibility and are especially needed as competition increases nationwide for top faculty. Rob Parker, senior associate dean for development and executive director of the Arts and Sciences Foundation, said that the donor’s own experience at Carolina and his knowledge of the key role that outstanding faculty have in transforming students’ lives led him to make such a visionary gift. “A gift of this magnitude will have a profound influence on the quality of teaching for our undergraduates and in attracting first-rate graduate students to Carolina,” Parker said. “Exceptional faculty inspire students, who in turn become thoughtful global citizens. We are grateful to the donor for helping ensure the continued strength of our faculty in these two departments.”

Isolated coral reefs are not healthier

Elkhorn coral, photographed in 2014 in Akumal, Mexico, is listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.

Nature journal Scientific Reports, shows that local management efforts to mitigate impacts of activities like fishing and tourism cannot alone restore coral reef populations. One striking example is the massive bleaching of hundreds of kilometers on the northern and central Great Barrier

Archaeologists recently uncovered a clue that doesn’t shed light on what happened to the lost colonists, but it may reveal more about their life on the island. Eight pottery fragments of a single blue and white apothecary jar were found along the shoreline, about 75 yards from an earthen mound on Roanoke Island. J. Eric Deetz, an adjunct lecturer in the anthropology department who serves on the board of directors of the nonprofit First Colony Foundation, identified the fragments.

Deetz said it’s an important ceramics find — a type of tin-glazed Dutch pottery that dates between 1570 and 1630. “These little cylindrical jars were used by doctors, physicians and others to collect things or hold ointments and salves,” he said. “Since this was an exploration of the island, they brought along scientists like Thomas Harriot, and they were looking for minerals and botanical materials and other exploitable resources.” Deetz added: “It’s important to stress that this doesn’t solve the Lost Colony mystery, but it’s a very exciting find and now we have another area we can look at on the island that may prove to be significant.” ➤ Read a longer story by Kim Weaver

keeps getting gloomier. Although it’s widely assumed that both local and global factors are contributing to their decline, new research shows that isolated reefs far from human activities are in fact not healthier than those in more densely populated areas. The work, led by John Bruno, a UNC professor of biology, marks the first global test of the hypothesis that isolated reefs are suffering from less damage. “We often mythologize isolated coral reefs as pristine and safe from harm,” said Bruno. “In fact, coral loss on some of our isolated reefs is just as dramatic as coral decline on reefs adjacent to more densely populated islands.” Bruno and co-author Abel Valdivia (a former UNC-Chapel Hill graduate student, currently a research scientist for the Center for Biological Diversity in Oakland. Calif.), analyzed data from 1,708 reefs around the world from the Bahamas to Australia collected from 1996 to 2006. The research, reported online in the

Transforming graduate education in the humanities

UNC-Chapel Hill is one of 28 universities taking part in a major national initiative to transform graduate education in the humanities. Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the initiative looks beyond “the academic-focused future we’re accustomed to training graduate students for,” said NEH Chairman William D. Adams. Institute for the Arts and Humanities Director Mark Katz worked with colleagues from across the University to propose “Re-envisioning the Humanities PhD,” a yearlong campuswide conversation on graduate education in the humanities, which will be funded by a $25,000 NEH planning grant and matched by UNC. The project is organized around four

main themes, each of which will be explored by committees of faculty, administrators, graduate students and alumni: • Careers. Graduate programs in the humanities have traditionally trained students solely for university professorships. This committee will investigate the wide range of career options for which humanities Ph.D.s are qualified. • Collaboration. In conjunction with broader efforts to “de-silo” the university and academia in general, this committee will explore ways to promote collaboration in the humanities. • Curriculum and Dissertation. What should humanities Ph.D. programs teach? What is the purpose of a

dissertation? This committee will ask these simple but challenging questions with an eye toward discovering what works and what does not. • Data. Working with UNC’s Odum Institute, this committee will collect and analyze data on the state of graduate education in the humanities at UNC. This work will result in a much clearer perspective on the success and shortcomings of UNC’s graduate programs.

With every innovation — the engineering of a drugeluding heart stent, the creation of new 3-D printing methods, revolutionizing the development of next-generation vaccines and medicines — the ability to apply his work to the real world and make an impact on lives has always been the focal point. “For us, it’s all about serving and doing,” said DeSimone, Chancellor’s Eminent Professor of Chemistry. “You can do a lot of things in a laboratory, but if it doesn’t get outside the Chemist Joseph DeSimone received the National Medal of lab, it really doesn’t do anyone any good.

DeSimone’s citation also recognized his innovation and inclusive leadership in higher education and entrepreneurship. “It’s humbling and exciting,” said DeSimone, who is also William R. Kenan Jr. Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at NC State and of Chemistry at Carolina. “It’s surreal. It certainly adds wind to the sail. I think there’s still so much to do, and this is not a point to look back.” The country’s highest award for technology and innovation, the medal was created by statute in 1980 and is administered for the White House by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Patent and Trademark Office. ➤ Story by Brandon Bieltz.

ALLPURPOSE RUB Many rub recipes are for particular kinds of meat, but here’s an all-purpose rub that’s good with everything from chicken to pork, beef to bologna. Shoot, it’s even good on popcorn. • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar • 1/2 cup kosher salt • 1/2 cup sweet paprika • 1/4 cup seasoned salt (such as Lawry’s) • 1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper • 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper • 2 tablespoons onion powder • 2 tablespoons garlic powder • 2 tablespoons chili powder • 1 tablespoon ground cumin Makes a bit less than 3 cups. Mix the ingredients thoroughly. This keeps indefinitely, sealed and refrigerated.
