SUMMARY:Discussion on managing California wildfires
DESCRIPTION:An ecologist who teaches at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, will speak about wild fires in his state at this year’s Donald B. McMullen Lecture in Biology at Monmouth College. \nSam Sweet\, who has taught in UCSB’s department of ecology\, evolution and marine biology for more than 40 years\, will deliver the lecture at 7 p.m. March 25 in the Pattee Auditorium of the Center for Science and Business. \nTitled “Fire Management and the Future of Southern California’s Sky Islands\,” his talk is free and open to the public. \nEarlier in the day\, Sweet will speak to Monmouth science students at 4 p.m. in Room 276 of the Center for Science and Business\, detailing “The Origins of Sea Snakes.” \n“The evening talk is intended for a general audience and should be of interest to those interested in climate change and the interactions of humans\, wildlife and ecosystems\,” said Monmouth biology professor Kevin Baldwin. \nA native of Connecticut\, Sweet earned his bachelor’s degree from Cornell University and his master’s degree and Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley. Not afraid to be called a herpetologist\, Sweet insists on conducting abundant field work and believes that understanding and preserving biodiversity is a worthy goal. \nThe McMullen Lectureship in Biology was endowed in 1973 by Elizabeth McMullen in memory of her husband\, who was a Monmouth College biology professor from 1928-38. The fund annual brings an outstanding scholar in the biological sciences to campus.

SUMMARY:Monmouth College Whiteman Lecture
DESCRIPTION:An executive at a new company in western Illinois who sees great opportunity for Monmouth College students will deliver this year’s Wendell Whiteman Memorial Lecture. \nAndrew Heath\, vice president of international operations at Jupiter Machine Tool\, a manufacturing company founded last year in Galesburg\, will present the Whiteman Lecture at 11 a.m. March 26 in Dahl Chapel and Auditorium. Titled “And There Was Light: Dawn of the Augmented Reality Age\,” the lecture is free and open to the public. \n“Jupiter works with customers from any step in the manufacturing process\, starting with computer-aided design and product design all the way through quality control and training\,” said Heath. “We provide manufacturing equipment for cutting metal and we also provide service and support for brands in our industry.” \nHeath is new to working in the United States\, as his entire professional career had been spent abroad. He started in Japan\, then spent 10 years in China\, where he lived in a city of more than 8 million people. He believes the Midwest\, and western Illinois\, in particular\, offers cost advantages over such places as Silicon Valley. \n“For manufacturing\, Galesburg is nicely positioned between the two mammoth companies\, Caterpillar and John Deere\, so there’s already a lot of local opportunity\, although Jupiter has a national reach\,” he said. \nA big part of what Jupiter provides hinges on augmented reality\, which brings components of the digital world into a person’s perception of the real world. \n“We want to bring something new to the table\,” said Heath. “We are focusing on advanced technology\, particularly augmented reality\, on manufacturing trends and on how institutions like Monmouth can take advantage of that to create their own space and to position their students to have an impactful career in the emerging economies we see today. … Augmented reality is truly limitless.” \nThe only limit\, it seems\, is connecting two very important parties. \n“Right now\, we have a disconnect between the augmented reality technology developers and potential users\,” said Heath. “That’s going to be the main theme of my lecture. How do we create that bridge? How do we unite the potential customer and provider? We’re going to need an entirely new generation of talented people with a very interdisciplinary skill set that\, frankly\, has never been seen before.” \nHeath believes Monmouth students are qualified to be those “talented people” for two major reasons: the broad liberal arts education they receive and the small class sizes\, which help them become better team members. \n“You need that connection\,” said Heath\, whose business partner is Ray Whitehead. “You need to be able to have a voice\, to exchange ideas with someone who’s been there and done that\, in order to shape your future. We desperately need creative and ambitious individuals because the manufacturing industry in the United States is going to retire 200\,000 people in the next five to six years.” \nWhitehead has referred to the coming boom in Jupiter’s industry as “the 21st century Gold Rush.” \n“It’s a great opportunity\,” he said. “We’re at the right place at the right time.” \nThe Whiteman Lecture Series annually brings prominent leaders of American business and industry to Monmouth. It is named in memory of Wendell Whiteman\, an alumnus of the College and long-time executive of Security Savings Bank in Monmouth

SUMMARY:Ottoman-era wood harvesting the topic of next Archaeology Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Rather than focus on ancient events in Greece or Rome\, the next Archaeology Lecture at Monmouth College will discuss a much more recent time – Ottoman Palestine in the late 19th century. \nBrita Lorentzen\, a postdoctoral research associate at Cornell University\, will speak March 26 about harvesting wood in pre-industrial times in the region we know today as Israel. \nTitled “Anatolian Forests on the Sea: Trees\, Timber and Environment in the Ottoman Empire\,” Lorentzen’s talk will be given at 7:30 p.m. in the Pattee Auditorium of the College’s Center for Science and Business. \n“Wood was a fundamental fuel resource and building material in pre-industrial societies including the Mediterranean\, which made forests a valuable and politically strategic natural resource\,” says Lorentzen\, whose lecture will discuss the environmental history of the East Mediterranean forests\, focusing on Ottoman Palestine. “During this time\, technological\, economic and sociopolitical change in the Eastern Mediterranean led to increased building activity and demand for wood building materials\, while facilitating increased access to timber-rich areas\, including forested areas in southern Anatolia\, the Black Sea coast and Europe.” \nLorentzen has conducted research using tree-ring dating to date and source wood from Ottoman-era historical buildings and archaeological sites\, as well as modern forest trees\, which provide further documentation of local environmental history and enduring environmental impacts of human activity in the region. \nFree and open to the public\, Lorentzen’s talk is sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America Western Illinois Society.

SUMMARY:Great Decisions discussion on populism in Europe
DESCRIPTION:The final Great Decisions program of the year at Monmouth College will focus on “The Rise of Populism in Europe.” \nLecturer Annie Moore\, who teaches French at the College\, will introduce the topic at 7:30 p.m. March 27 in Room 276 of the College’s Center for Science and Business. \nMass migration\, and the problems associated with it\, have directly abetted the rise of populist parties in Europe. Opposition to immigration was the prime driver of support for Brexit\, it brought a far-right party to the German Bundestag for the first time since the 1950s\, and populism propelled Marine Le Pen to win a third of the vote in the French presidential election. \nIn addition to calling for stronger borders\, however\, these parties are invariably illiberal\, anti-American\, anti-NATO and pro-Kremlin\, making their rise a matter of serious concern for the national security interests of the United States. \nCalled “America’s largest discussion program on world affairs\,” Great Decisions is a nationwide program sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association\, a non-partisan\, non-governmental association that works to increase Americans’ understanding of foreign policy issues.
