For Students of Emory University Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017

ENGAGEMENT 'Faith and Politics' students take leadership in new directions Students who completed Robert Franklin's "Faith and Politics" course last month knew they would get in-depth exposure to how politics and faith interact: They were required to volunteer for a campaign and write about how to heal a divided nation. What most didn't expect was that it would mark a turning point in understanding their call as leaders. LITERATURE Emory scholar tells immigrant stories through young adult novels In her new novel, "The Radius of Us," Marie Marquardt, scholar-in-residence at Candler School of Theology, examines the hardships Latin American teens face fleeing gang violence and seeking asylum in the U.S. She reads Thursday at the Barnes & Noble at Emory Bookstore. INSPIRATION Lipstadt surprises airplane passengers watching 'Denial' Traveling from London to Seattle, Emory historian Deborah Lipstadt was surprised to discover she was part of the in-flight entertainment, so she introduced herself to passengers watching "Denial," the film about her battle with a Holocaust denier. INNOVATION University Courses take on challenging, interdisciplinary topics This semester's University Courses bring together diverse faculty and students from across campus to examine issues surrounding global security and leadership, the ethics of eating and disability and resilience. CREATIVITY Billops-Hatch exhibit events kick off with artist, scholar Fahamu Pecou Emory's Rose Library hosts a series of public events supporting "Still Raising Hell: The Art, Activism and Archives of Camille Billops and James V. Hatch." The free events will take place at Emory and in other Atlanta venues. LEADERSHIP Presidential inauguration events link Emory's past, present and bold future Community is at the center of public events planned to celebrate the Feb. 8 inauguration of Emory President Claire E. Sterk as the university's 20th president and first female chief executive. EVENTS World premiere orchestra performance, archival film tour headline January arts events The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra visits campus this month to perform the debut of "a canticle of shadows," an elegy for victims of war from Richard Prior, director of performance studies at Emory. RESEARCH Emory, Morehouse team develops mobile device platform to improve community health Researchers at Emory and Morehouse School of Medicine are building an ambitious project to work with teens and young adults in minority communities in metro Atlanta to create a health platform supported by mobile devices. RESOURCES Winship researchers receive Avon Grant Investigators at the Glenn Family Breast Center at Winship Cancer Institute are the recipients of a one-year, $750,000 grant from the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade Board of Managers. NUTRITION Emory cardiologist helps rank nation's top diets Emory cardiologist Laurence Sperling served on a U.S. News & World Report panel appraising some of the country's most popular diets. PROFILE Chris Palazzolo: Sharing his passion for politics with students and faculty After a hotly contested presidential election, it's already been a busy academic year for social sciences librarian Chris Palazzolo. But then, even a non-presidential election year is busy in his specialty areas.
