Featured Projects
| MICHAEL ADDIS: Men's Coping Project | |
|
maddis@clarku.edu The Men's Coping Project is a research study at Clark University funded by the National Institutes of Health, the goal of which is to better understand men's well-being. Researchers are interested in how men cope with stress and other problems in their lives. The project Web site offers information for men interested in participating in the study, and for others who share the goal of understanding and improving men's well-being.

| JAMES CORDOVA: Couples and Family Research |  |
jcordova@clarku.edu The Couples and Family Research Project at Clark University is a clinical research team effort consisting of faculty, doctoral and undergraduate students currently funded by NIH. The goal is to produce cutting-edge research on intimate relationships and on the development of focused interventions to promote relationship and marital health. The project's Web site offers information for couples interested in participating in its work, as well as for others who share the goal of understanding and improving intimate relationships.

| SUSAN FOSTER and JOHN BAKER: Ecology, Evolution and Behavior |  |
sfoster@clarku.edu | jbaker@clarku.edu The post-glacial adaptive radiation of the threespine stickleback fish forms the basis for research conducted in our laboratory. Laboratory members address questions concerning the evolution of reproductive and antipredator behavior, color, morphology, and life history in both contemporary and older contexts.

| DAVID HIBBETT: Molecular Evolution in Fungi | |
 |
dhibbett@clarku.edu Dr. Hibbett's lab studies the evolutionary biology and ecology of fungi, principally Basidiomycota (mushroom-forming fungi and relatives). Much of the lab's work is focused on molecular systematics and the uses of phylogenetic trees for studying the evolution of morphological and ecological characters. Other projects involve molecular ecology, evolution of lignin-degrading enzymes, and phyloinformatics. Research lab Web site News |
| ARSHAD KUDROLLI: The Complex Matter & Nonlinear Physics Lab |  |
akudrolli@clarku.edu This lab is broadly focused on complex matter and out-of-equilibrium phenomena, and on developing novel experiments to gain physical understanding with statistical, phenomenological and computational models. Examples of out-of-equilibrium phenomena include instabilities in the flow of granular materials and erosion patterns that shape the surface of planets. Other research interests include crumpling and singularities in thin sheets inspired by biomaterials, biolocomotion and synchronization in beating cilia.

| SARAH BUIE and MIRIAM CHION: Difficult Dialogues |  |
sbuie@clarku.edu | mchion@clarku.edu Funded by a grant from the Ford Foundation, and co-sponsored at Clark by the Higgins School of the Humanities and the department of International Relations, Community and Environment, Difficult Dialogues is nationwide program designed to promote academic freedom and religious, cultural, and political pluralism on college and university campuses in the United States. Clark is one of 43 institutions implementing projects that address these issues. While all projects seek to prepare students to constructively engage with difficult and sensitive topics, the projects address a wide range of substantive areas.
