Dr. Bacote, author of The Spirit in Public Theology: Appropriating the Legacy of Abraham Kuyper (2005), quotes Abraham Kuyper to describe the heart of the way he views theology and the Christian faith: "There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry: Mine!" Dr. Bacote adds, "It is important to recognize that our faith….ought to impact every facet of our lives and society. I hope to create this kind of passion in students as they study theology, a truly exciting subject." |

Dr. Folino-Rorem's current research projects focus on aspects of the invasive hydroid Cordylophora spp., which often grows on the shells of the invasive zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, in freshwater habitats. She has several populations from around the world, and is collaborating with a colleague to determine how many species of this hydroid exist globally. She and her students are addressing the ecology of the hydroid in Lake Michigan by gathering samples, via snorkeling and SCUBA, of zebra mussels with the hydroids growing on the shells. |

Dr. Page studies the dynamics of how diseases are transmitted in human-altered landscapes. Dr. Page frequently collaborates with student researchers, and her current projects include a study of the transmission dynamics of raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), a parasite carried by raccoons that can adversely affect humans, in urban environments. She uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to model infection risk to humans in urban areas.

Dr. Wood's 2007 book with Robert Roberts, Intellectual Virtues: An Essay In Regulative Epistemology, holds that intellectual virtues, such as intellectual humility and love of knowledge, are essential for becoming excellent thinking persons—persons ideally situated to gain some of life's most important knowledge: self-knowledge, interpersonal knowledge, moral and religious knowledge, and scientific knowledge. Dr. Wood believes that epistemology can speak not just to the academy but to ordinary persons amidst their everyday concerns.
