Helene Krauthamer received her Ph.D. and M.A. degrees in Linguistics from the State University of New York at Buffalo, and her A.B. degree in Mathematics from New York University. Her dissertation is on The Written Expression of Transitive Propositions in English with a discussion of the use of the passive voice. Her experiences at UDC teaching composition have resulted in her book, Spoken Language Interference Patterns (SLIPs) in Written English (Peter Lang, 1999), as well as several articles on topics related to computers and composition, teaching grammar, the use of the passive voice, and assessment. She has recently produced with Routledge Publishers (2021) a book about pronouns, titled The Great Pronoun Shift. |

As a Professor of Chemistry and a scientific writer for the NIH, I have a deep-rooted interest in the intricacies of molecular and cellular processes. My specialization revolves around metabolomics, genomics, and proteomics, which I apply towards understanding the molecular basis of diseases, particularly focusing on biochemical pathways that underlie various illnesses. My research often extends into the realms of enzyme kinetics and protein structure-function relationships, allowing me to unravel the mechanisms driving cellular signaling. Furthermore, my expertise encompasses pharmacology and environmental toxicology, where I explore compounds potential metabolic consequences. In my role as a scientific writer for the NIH, I actively engage in translating complex scientific findings into accessible content, facilitating knowledge dissemination, and promoting public understanding of biomedical research. |

In line with her commitment to providing excellent education and student support, she actively engages in research within the realm of teaching and learning science. Her current focus is on developing and delivering enriching experiences for historically resilient students through supportive learning environments and active construction of knowledge. With this expertise she aspires to improve the quality of teaching and learning in higher education, particularly for minoritized populations. As a Community Health Psychologist, Dr. Owens studies psychological and behavioral processes in health and illness from a sociocultural and community context. She is the director and principal investigator of the Health Within Measure Research Lab, where her research efforts lean towards (1) securing health equity and eradicating health disparities, and (2) understanding the importance of acculturation, assimilation, and cultural identity to health and well-being. Dr. Owens strives to use her research to promote health and well-being in minority populations through intervention and community outreach. She has served as guest speaker at various outreach events and has contributed to the development and implementation of city-wide health campaigns, as well as community-based interventions targeting sexual risk taking, diabetes risk, childhood obesity, and e-cigarette use. |

she/they Assistant Professor Political Science, Interdisciplinary General Education Program CV (PDF) |
Dr. Jasmine Noelle Yarish (Dr. JNY), Assistant Professor of Political Science, received her Ph.D. in political science with graduate certificates in both Black Studies and Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her expertise is in intersectionality (race, gender, sexuality, and space), populist nationalism, urban politics, and democratic theory. Her research aims to extend the idea of abolition democracy theorized by W.E.B. Du Bois to include the political and intellectual contributions made by Black women to the era of Reconstruction (1850-1880). Her archival commitments to revisiting that early period of contemporary political thought, the primary democratization period in American political development, and the unique case of Philadelphia in rethinking the significance of Reconstruction for the discipline of political science place Dr. JNY’s scholarship as part and parcel of the growing literature on the “Third Reconstruction.” | See CV (PDF) |
