Fostering the next generation of Black philosophers at Penn

Fostering the next generation of Black philosophers at Penn In the past decade, the department has become a hub for race theory and a welcoming environment for a diverse group of young academics, mentored by those who have paved the way before them. Left: Near the end of his life, William Fontaine wrote the book, “Reflections on Segregation, Desegregation, Power, and Morals,” about racial integration and his opposition to the ideology of the Black Power movement. Right: “Black Philosopher, White Academy,” by Penn emeritus History professor Bruce Kuklick, details Fontaine’s personal history and scholarship.

On Galápagos beaches, human presence conclusively affects sea lions

On Galápagos beaches, human presence conclusively affects sea lions Penn researchers, in conjunction with Galapagueño high school students, found that on more crowded beaches, the endangered animals are less aggressive to people. Twice a week between June and December of 2017 and 2018, local Galapagueño students observed sea lion behavior at four local beaches. The community scientists assessed how frequently the animals growled, barked, and moved toward the observer, as well as conducted an overall census of the animals.

But until recently, it wasn’t clear how that cohabitation influenced the endangered animals.
