The Metropolitan State University of Denver faculty brain trust reaches almost every point on the academic spectrum, and we are always proud to see Roadrunners sharing their knowledge. Each month, the Early Bird highlights a few faculty members who have served as subject-matter experts on timely news topics, providing dynamic perspectives on critical issues.
Here’s a sampling from September:
Bob Hancock, Ph.D., Biology associate professor, interviewed with Denver7 about the recent increase in deaths from West Nile virus.
Joe Goldhammer, J.D., Management affiliate professor, interviewed with Denver7 about the growth of employee unions after many years of decline.
Tom Bellinger, Ph.D., Earth and Atmospheric Sciences affiliate professor, interviewed with CGTN America about the impact of recent floods and climate change on the national park system.
Katia Campbell, Ph.D., Communications Studies professor and chair, interviewed with Fox31 about the history of racist rhetoric comparing Black people with monkeys after a racist tweet by a Colorado House candidate.
Matt Makley, Ph.D., History chair and professor, and Tom Cech, founding director of the One World One Water Center, interviewed with Colorado Community Media about the history behind the popular use of Kentucky bluegrass and the impracticality of its use today in the United States.
