He continued moving west to Flagstaff, Arizona in 1997 as faculty at Northern Arizona University (NAU), where he was recognized in 2011 and 2014 as a President&#8217;s Distinguished Teaching Fellow. He further served as the Chair of the Department of Geography, Planning &amp; Recreation and as the university&#8217;s Director of Academic Assessment. As a professor of geography and community planning here at Butler, he is also an <em>affiliate faculty member in Butler&#8217;s Science, Technology &amp; Environmental Studies (STES) program<\/em>. Having originally majored in meteorology at Penn State, he ended up teaching weather and climate at the U. of Illinois and later at NAU. He therefore teaches an NW course for the Core Curriculum, <em>Weather, Climate &amp; Society<\/em> (NW 265). Beyond the fun of academics, Tom enjoys traveling, photography, railroad history and modeling, playing basketball, and was once an avid trumpet player in high school and the Penn State Blue Band (Go State!).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Teaching and Scholarship<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Tom&#8217;s areas of teaching and research encompass the topics of urban and cultural geography, downtown redevelopment, historic preservation, urban design, heritage tourism, Italy, the American Southwest, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and most recently, the Hunger Games series and franchise. He also offers a creative First-Year Seminar (FYS) course focused on <em>Unpacking the Hunger Games<\/em>, an interdisciplinary approach to understanding our world through Suzanne Collins&#8217; dystopian series. Having led several study-abroad programs in Viterbo and Siena, Italy to explore livable cities and walkable design, Tom is the author of two books about Siena, including <em><strong>Living the Palio: A Story of Community and Public Life in Siena, Italy<\/strong><\/em><strong> <\/strong>(3rd edition 2020), and <em><strong>Unbridled Spirit: The Untold Story of the 2018 Extraordinary Palio&nbsp;in Siena, Italy<\/strong><\/em> (Feb. 2020).

In particular, she examines how language both enables and limits the growth of knowledge and consensus surrounding scientific claims, both inside science and in the public.&nbsp; Her publications on the AIDS epidemic, MadCow Disease or Prion Disease, agricultural chemicals, addiction, and climate change all demonstrate the tenuous relation between \u201creality\u201d and the language we use to represent that reality.&nbsp; Bias, context, and limited data inevitably lead to imperfect definitions, descriptions, labels, and visual &nbsp;representations that can easily come to\u201cstand in\u201d for an unexplored or unknown totality.&nbsp; She also explores the struggles scientists face when they attempt to describe and establish new phenomena, engage in cross-disciplinary debates over the nature of a phenomenon, when they are entrenched in high stakes disagreements over threats to the environment and human health, when they need to communicate risk to the general public, and when they want to change perceptions of stigmatized conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Professor Reeves\u2019s &nbsp;courses combine Literary study with other fields, such as Medicine, Social Science, and History. &nbsp;Topics include Doctor Writers and Addiction. &nbsp;She &nbsp;also teaches courses in Medical Humanities and Rhetoric. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Professor Reeves has also made contributions to several organizations in Indianapolis and Indiana that have provided opportunities for her students.&nbsp; Working with CAFO Watch,Indiana to increase regulatory oversight for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, Reeves has brought many students into the organization as interns who learn about the legislative process and environmental policymaking.&nbsp; She and students worked with the Riley Hospital Ryan White Pediatric Infectious Disease department to plan a campaign to create awareness of pre- and peri-natal HIV transmission and the importanceof testing.&nbsp;

When stars die they leave behind very dense remnants, which, depending on mass of the progenitor star, can be a white dwarf, neutron star or black hole. Many of these objects can be found in binary systems in an orbit with a regular star. Strong gravitational interactions cause material to fall from the secondary star on to the compact object, where it forms a disk of hot material called an accretion disk. This disk is a means to transport matter on to the compact object, where it can be swallowed up or even ejected in extremely energetic outbursts.<\/p>\n<p>Accretion is one of the most fundamental processes in the Universe, and as such, we are always attempting to improve our understanding of it. By studying accreting compact objects at multiple wavelengths, from radio all the way up to the highest energy X-rays and gamma rays, we can start to answer some of the greatest unanswered questions in astrophysics.<br>\n<\/p>\n<p>I work with data from a variety of telescopes, including JWST, the NuSTAR X-ray telescope, Swift, Chandra and Gemini. I often have multiple projects available working with data from these observatories for students who are interested in performing research.<br>\n<\/p><\/p><\/div> <!-- #acc-awshaw --><\/div> <!-- #accordion-group --><\/div> <!-- .directory__card --><div class='directory__card'><div class='directory__cardName'>Mark Suchyta <\/div><div class='directory__cardImage'><img class='directory__cardImg' src='https:\/\/cdn-dev.butler.edu\/msuchyta-olfqY9edcVZPAGZzMLsuE-photo.jpg' alt='Headshot of Mark Suchyta' \/><\/div><div class=\"directory__cardContent\"><div class=\"directory__cardTitle\"><strong>Lecturer &#8211; Sociology &#038; Criminology<\/strong><\/div><div class='directory__cardPhone'><a href='tel:317-940-8356'>317-940-8356<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='directory__cardEmail'><a href='mailto:msuchyta@butler.edu'>msuchyta@butler.edu<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div> <!-- .directory__card --><div class='directory__card'><div class='directory__cardName'>Kristin Swenson <\/div><div class='directory__cardImage'><img class='directory__cardImg' src='https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/api-profiles\/kswenson-4kCA6rpAQ.jpeg' alt='Headshot of Kristin Swenson' \/><\/div><div class=\"directory__cardContent\"><div class=\"directory__cardTitle\"><strong>Professor &#8211; Communication &#038; Media Studies<\/strong><\/div><div class='directory__cardPhone'><a href='tel:'><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='directory__cardEmail'><a href='mailto:kswenson@butler.edu'>kswenson@butler.edu<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div> <!-- .directory__card --><div class='directory__card'><div class='directory__cardName'>Robin Turner <\/div><div class='directory__cardImage'><img class='directory__cardImg' src='https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/api-profiles\/rlturne1-V10VlsqDC.jpg' alt='Headshot of Robin Turner' \/><\/div><div class=\"directory__cardContent\"><div class=\"directory__cardTitle\"><strong>Professor of Political Science<\/strong><\/div><div class='directory__cardPhone'><a href='tel:317-940-8559'>317-940-8559<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='directory__cardEmail'><a href='mailto:rlturne1@butler.edu'>rlturne1@butler.edu<\/a><\/div><\/div><div id='accordion-group' class='accordion'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button id='person-rlturne1'\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttype='button' class='button-link-right directory__cardMoreButton accordion-trigger'\n\t\t\t\t\t\taria-controls='acc-rlturne1'\n\t\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded='false' >\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMore About Robin Turner\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='directory__cardBio accordion-panel' id='acc-rlturne1' role='region' aria-labledby='person-rlturne1' hidden><p><p><br><\/p>\n<p>Robin L.
