CollegianThis is how college is meant to be. Scholar, teacher, Mentor: trudier Harris returns Home

By Kelli Wright

Coming home at the end of a long journey is a theme that Dr. trUDiEr HArriS has contemplated, taught, and writ- ten about many times in her award-winning books and in the classroom. Recently, Harris found herself in the midst of her own home- coming, the central character in a narrative that is a familiar part of southern life and literature. When she retired from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she was the J. Carlyle Sitterson Professor of English, she was not looking for other work. But her homecoming resulted in an unexpected “sec- ond career” as a professor in the College’s Department of English and a chance to explore new intellectual territories. In addition, it has meant a return to many of the places of her youth, this time in the role of change agent. Raised on an 80-acre cotton farm in Greene County, Ala., Harris was the sixth of nine children. Though her parents had to work hard to make ends meet, they always stressed the impor- tance of education. Harris attended Tuscaloosa’s 32nd Avenue Elementary School, now known as Martin Luther King Elementary School. In the late 1960s she entered Stillman College in Tuscaloosa. Initially she considered a career as a physical educa- tion teacher or a psychiatrist. But losing an intramural race to a young woman who was half as tall as she dampened her desire to teach PE, and the realization that she did not want to listen to people’s problems soured her plans in psychiatry. Trudier Harris A summer exchange program at Indiana University convinced her to continue her studies in English. She received her master’s and doctorate from Ohio State University. Harris has become one of the foremost African American literary and cultural theorists. She has published more Issue Highlights than 20 volumes, including Black Women in the Fiction of James Baldwin, for which she won the 1987 College Language Association Creative Scholarship Award. In 2002 she was awarded Dean’s Message 2 the Eugene Current-Garcia Award for Alabama’s Distinguished Literary Scholar.

He and his colleagues used to spend hours with books laid out on the porches of Garland Hall taking photos of artwork to create slides for their courses. Producing a slide show now is much simpler.

DR. ARTHUR BENKE, a professor emeritus in the Department of Biological Sciences, was awarded the 2012 Award of Excellence in Benthic Science by the Society for Freshwater Science for his work on benthos, organ- isms that live on or near the bottom of a body of water. Benthos, which live in the ocean as well as in freshwater sites and range in size from microorganisms to snails and crabs, are important indicators of water quality. A UA faculty member since 1984, Benke has been widely known as a leader in the ecology of freshwater benthic invertebrates for more than 30 years. His research focuses on the role of insects in aquatic ecosystems and the theory and practice of estimating invertebrate production. A longtime member of the Society for Freshwater Science, Benke has served as its president, a member of the executive committee, and editor of the Journal of the North American Benthological Society (now titled Freshwater Science). Benke has played a signifi cant role in the advancement of river conservation in North America and is coeditor (with Albert E. Cushing) of two award-winning books, Rivers of North America and Field Guide to Rivers of North America. Benke received his PhD in zoology from the University of Georgia in 1972. He was a faculty member in the School of Biology at the Georgia Institute of Technology from 1971 to 1978.

The Truman Scholarship was created by Congress to identify and support future leaders in public service. Flamerich is one of 54 scholars selected from among 587 candidates to receive up to $30,000 for graduate study. A student in UA’s Computer-Based Honors Program, Flamerich came to the Capstone to study chemical engineering. He began to envision a career in public service after serv- ing as a senator in the Student Government Association, doing volunteer work for various organizations, serving as a Blackburn Fellow, and studying political science. Flamerich has volunteered with READ Alabama, which works to improve reading skills in West Alabama elementary schools; the Boys and Girls Club, where he tutored students after school; and the American Red Cross, where he helped raise money for Haitian earthquake victims. He also served as a social media coordinator for state-level political campaigns during the summer of 2010. He has worked with other UA student leaders on a proposal to ban smoking on campus and with state leaders to push for a statewide ban on smoking in government buildings. A native of Miami, Fla., Flamerich graduated from Chelsea High School near Birmingham. Flamerich will graduate from UA in 2013. He plans to attend law school and obtain a master’s degree in public policy before pursuing a career in environmental, patent, or civil rights advocacy law. Ryan Flamerich

LAUrEn MArSH, a senior in the Department of Anthropology, was awarded a prestigious Boren Scholarship, which is given by the U.S. Department of State to provide college students with resources and encouragement to acquire language skills and experience in countries critical to U.S. security. Marsh, of Prattville, Ala., will use the scholarship to study in Chengdu, in the Sichuan prov- ince of China, during the 2012–2013 academic year. She will complete a service requirement by providing global public health aid with the Peace Corps, the Centers for Disease Control, or the U.S. Agency for International Development. Marsh has already spent a year helping children with serious health problems in a village near Beijing and a summer in Nairobi, Kenya, which sparked her interest in a career in global health. “Those experiences, along with the knowledge that I cannot achieve Mandarin language fl u- ency without immersion, made me realize that the Boren Scholarship would be a great opportu- nity.

Lauren Marsh 11 STUDENT NEWS Shrimp Shells Used to Develop Antibacterial Bandage

Most people who eat shrimp toss away the shells without a second thought. For a group of scientists in the College of Arts and Sciences, those shells are a critical component in creat- ing a new kind of bandage that may help fa- cilitate healing. Dr. GABriELA GUrAU, a research scientist, LEAH BLoCk, a fi rst-year graduate student, both in the Department of Chemistry, and Dr. wHitnEy HoUGH, a College alumna, have been working on a process to extract chitin from shrimp shells. Chitin, which gives shrimp shells their texture, is a naturally occurring an- tibacterial substance. The researchers are employed by 525 Solutions, a faculty start-up incubated at UA. They have been working on ways to make chi- tin into fi bers to create a bandage for people with chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers. According to Hough, diabetic ulcers result in 100,000 amputations a year. An antibacterial bandage that promotes healing could help ul- cer sufferers avoid amputation.
