Environmentalism's local roots

Asha Katz - August 20, 2013

With sustainability topics flooding the news cycle, and at a time when people are more conscious of their ecological footprint than ever before, you’d think there would be ample documentation of the environmental movement’s local history. That’s not necessarily the case. “Very little has been written about Nova Scotian environmentalism,” says Mark Leeming, a Dal history PhD student who is amending that oversight with his doctoral research, which he defended earlier this month. In particular, he’s interested in adding a historian’s perspective. “I have always had the tendency to observe, rather than join,” he says.

A “useful” history

Addressing big questions

Leeming, whose project is supervised by Associate Professor Claire Campbell, says he considers himself more on the non-modernist side of the equation, but his goal was to document the broader dynamics as a historian, rather than coming down on any particular side of the debate. When asked how his work is specifically relevant to the campus and the lives of students, Leeming highlights the fact that the EAC’s Dal origins. “Universities have been so central to the creation of the movement,” he says. Leeming also encourages students to ask themselves what we are sustaining when we talk about sustainability. “Do we sustain a way of life that allows us to drive cars and have cell phones or another that would allow our species to live maybe 10 times longer? It’s not a new debate, but it is what I hope students would take away if they read [my work].”

Research & Publications

Mark Lemmon, PhD, FRS is the Alfred Gilman Professor of Pharmacology, and Co-Director of Yale Cancer Biology Institute. He returned to Yale as a named Professor of Pharmacology in 2015 after 19 years on the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine. At Penn, he was the George W. Raiziss Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics as well as Chair of the department and an Investigator at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute. Dr. Lemmon was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society (the UK's national academy) in 2016, and has been honored with the Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Award of the Protein Society and the Stanley N. Cohen Biomedical Research Award from the University of Pennsylvania. He is on the Editorial Advisory Boards of several journals, including Cell and Molecular Cell , and is Chair of the Editorial Board of the Biochemical Journal .

Dr. Lemmon’s research focuses on understanding the signaling networks controlled by receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) growth factors that, when mutated, cause cancers and other diseases. His laboratory combines biochemical, structural, biophysical, and cellular approaches to investigate how these networks function, and also collaborates with clinical groups to apply the mechanistic lessons learned to inhibitor choice and combating development of resistance to targeted therapies in the clinic.
