Rob Schultz

Research Interests: Predator conservation and the role of predators in ecosystems; working with communities to advance the conservation of species.

"My experiences in Miami University/Project Dragonfly’s Global Field Program have changed how I approach conservation. I don’t see graduation as an end to my learning, but rather a starting point for continuing to use what I have learned to be a voice in speaking for the wild."

Shana Oates

Research Interests: Three distinct yet overlapping strands: (1) the academic, social, and emotional experiences of autistic college students; (2) disability portrayal in visual media, and (3) interrogating equity within the overlap of race and disability.

“Shana assisted with the panels for new graduate student orientation. She helped build a sense of community for many students on campus.” - Rose Marie Ward

Justine Ruyer

Research Interests: Women and gender studies in French, and the Nouveau Roman, a French literary movement from the 1950 and 1960s

"I especially love teaching French at Miami and sharing my culture. In my four semesters here, I got to teach 100- and 200-level courses in French and saw students develop a passion for the language, which comforted me in my decision to become a full-time teacher after my master's."

Simran Kaur Colbert

Research Interests: Enhance institutional climates for religious, secular, and spiritual identities through research, policy, and practice

Presented at the National Civil Rights Conference in June 2019 about our grassroots community-university partnership.

Laura Fehling

Research Interests: Multispecies mutualisms
