Albert Camus’ The Plague describes what happens when the Bubonic Plague strikes the French colonial Algerian city of Oran. Published just after World War II, the novel is at once a careful examination of the impact of an epidemic on a modern urban community and a metaphorical account of the human condition generally.
As the world continues to struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic, four Trinity faculty members will discuss the novel from their respective fields of medical anthropology, 20th-century French literature, European philosophy, and Christian theology.

The Supreme Court in a Polarized Age A Conversation with Kevin McMahon John R. Reitemeyer Professor of Political Science Moderated by Maura Thompson ’21
In its 2019-20 term, the Supreme Court handed down some seemingly surprising decisions. We’ll consider the most notable of those decisions, the significance of the Court and judicial issues in the upcoming election, and the place of this Supreme Court in our polarized democracy.
Kevin J. McMahon is the John R. Reitemeyer Professor of Political Science. His research mainly examines the presidency and the political origins and consequences of Supreme Court decisions. He is currently working on a book entitled, Uncertain Legitimacy: The Supreme Court in the Age of Trump. In 2014, the Supreme Court Historical Society selected his book, Nixon’s Court: His Challenge to Judicial Liberalism and Its Political Consequences (University of Chicago Press, 2011), for its rarely-awarded Erwin N. Griswold Book Prize. Nixon’s Court was also chosen as a 2012 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title. Professor McMahon's first book, Reconsidering Roosevelt on Race: How the Presidency Paved the Road to Brown (Chicago, 2004), won the American Political Science Association’s Richard E. Neustadt Award for the best book published that year on the American presidency. He is also the co-author/co-editor of three books on the presidency and presidential elections and author of numerous book chapters and journal articles.
Professor McMahon earned his PhD at Brandeis University in 1997. As an advanced graduate student, he taught for two years in Russia with the Civic Education Project (a.k.a., the “academic Peace Corps”). In the classroom, his teaching style is Socratic in spirit, driven by a philosophy that students perform best when they are asked to actively participate in their own learning.
Maura Thompson is a rising senior from Shelburne, Vermont and is receiving her degree in Political Science and Religious Studies. Next year, she will be writing her thesis on the rise of the Evangelical Religious Right within American politics through historical analysis of varying presidential campaigns. On campus, Maura is the president of her a capella group, a tour guide for Trinity Admissions, and member of her sorority, The Stella Society. This summer, she is interning for Practera, an educational technology company. She is also doing political science research for Professor McMahon.
A Conversation with Professor Renny Fulco Director, Public Policy and Law Program and Brooke LePage ’19 Policy Associate at FutureEd Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy
Recorded Thursday, June 18, 2020 Via Zoom
As many commentators across the political spectrum have observed, the U.S. COVID-19 pandemic response has resulted in confusing and sometimes contradictory policies. While most western democracies have adopted pandemic policies at the national level, many major policies in the U.S. have instead been instituted at the state or local level by governors and mayors.
We will discuss both the obstacles to creating one set of clear national policies to control the pandemic in the U.S. and the life and death public health consequences.

The Albert Schweitzer Organ Festival Hartford (ASOFH), founded in 1997, is an annual national festival and organ competition with the mission of encouraging and inspiring excellence in organ performance by young emerging artists. The festival has been in residence at Trinity College since 2016, and furthers the college’s legacy of educating undergraduate musicians in the art of organ performance and sacred music in the context of a world-class liberal arts education.
In addition to solo repertoire and hymn-playing competitions, the festival presents concerts in Hartford and the surrounding area, including solo organ recitals, concerto performances with orchestra, and choral presentations which feature the organ. The 2017 festival concluded with a Service of Holy Communion at the Trinity College Chapel, at which The Chapel Singers collaborated with the choir of St. James’s Church, West Hartford (Vaughn Mauren ’07, organist and choirmaster) and the choirs of St. John’s Church, West Hartford (Scot Lamlein, director of music and organist). The combined multi-generational choirs (featuring singers ages 7 through 82) gave the premiere performance of Philip J. Stopford’s setting of Psalm 150, commissioned by the ASOFH in memory of its founder, David Spicer.
In the spring of 2018, the groups reunited at Trinity College to record their collaboration. The audio recording of ‘Psalm 150’ is available at the Trinity College Soundcloud station. [LINK]

The service known as the Christmas Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is a tradition followed by Anglican and other Christian churches worldwide. Trinity began conducting this service in 1958, following the Anglican ceremony established at Kings College in Cambridge, England in 1918.
In this service, the community hears and receives the story of “God with us” through nine passages of scripture along with carols and anthems of Christmas. The Chapel Singers, the Trinity Choir, as well as student instrumentalists, lead the musical portions of the service. Readers are chosen from among the wider College community.
One Friend of the Chapel remarked that the 2010 Service of Lessons and Carols was the best he had experienced in thirty-one years at Trinity: “The singing was exquisite, with excellent intonation and with enthusiasm and conviction that was absolutely impressive. The service was beautifully balanced between readings and music, and the readers were magnificently prepared.”
This year Trinity’s Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols was held on Sunday December 4, 2016, at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m.

In 1984, Margaret came home to the United States, only to be ordered deported when the government invoked the 1952 McCarran-Walter Immigration and Nationality Act, judging opinions expressed in some of her books to be "against the good order and happiness of the United States." The Center for Constitutional Rights defended her and many writers and others joined in an almost five-year battle for reinstatement of citizenship. She won her case in 1989. In 1990 she was awarded the Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett grant for writers victimized by political repression; and in 2004 was the first recipient of PEN New Mexico’s Dorothy Doyle Lifetime Achievement Award for Writing and Human Rights Activism. In 2009 two of her photographs were accepted into the Capitol Arts Foundation permanent collection of work by New Mexican artists on display at the State capitol.

“The Mass Migrations of Italians and Jews to America: New Evidence on Who and Why”
Yannay Spitzer is studying the economics of mass migration from a historical perspective. He is mainly interested in questions such as why people migrate across borders, how they migrate, what determines the timing and the demographic and economic patterns of their migration, and what happens with them after they arrive in the new country.
His current research deals with the Jewish and the Italian migrations during the Age of Mass Migration (1880s-1924), movements of millions of people that provide unique a lens on the anatomies of migration and data that are typically unavailable for contemporary migrations. He is also interested in the economic history of the Jews and studies the economics and the demography of the Pale of Settlement in the Russian Empire.
His efforts are dedicated to producing research that is based on historical cases while addressing current economic issues; builds on newly produced, discovered, or complied large historical data sets; and analyzes these data sets using innovative methods of applied-microeconomics. His methodological toolkit includes both experimental and structural estimation methods, as well as GIS analysis and development of matching algorithms and other sorts of computer script work.
At the end of the current academic year, Spitzer will be joining the Department of Economics and the PEP program at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem as an assistant professor.

Dr. Timothy Cross '76 returned to campus to discuss the pharmaceutical industry, as part of the "Science for the Greater Good" series at Trinity. Dr. Cross is the Director of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Program at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University. To follow the presentation slides that accompanied Dr. Cross' talk, visit: http://www.trincoll.edu/NewsEvents/NewsArticles/Documents/TrinityCrossPodcastSlides.pdf
From his bio: Tuberculosis and influenza are killers. Between 2-3 million people worldwide die each year from tuberculosis, and 36,000 in America alone die from complications of the flu.
As Director of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Program, Dr. Tim Cross has taken up the fight to rid the world of these killers. “We're working on two sets of proteins that have the potential of being important for the pharmaceutical industry and mankind,” he says. “A few anti-influenza virus drugs are on the market, but they have serious side effects. Unless it’s a life and death situation, they're generally not prescribed.”
It’s the same with multiple drug resistant strains of tuberculosis. “There’s not been a new drug on the market for 30 years.” One-third of the world’s human population is a carrier of tuberculosis, but they won’t suffer symptoms unless their immune systems are compromised, as with AIDS victims. The tuberculosis emerges from its latent phase and attacks.
Membrane proteins may be the key. Says Cross, “If we could get the structural information on these proteins, a more specific drug could be designed.” A specialist in nuclear magnetic resonance, Cross has created a consortium of 13 top scientists from around the country, who have brought their own technologies—x-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and computational biochemistry—to work together on a common goal. The National Institutes of Health will fund the project over the next five years with an $8 million grant.
“The research is exciting at many different levels,” says Cross, “and a great challenge for my eight graduate students and several post-doctoral students to participate in. Once understood, the structural information can be published in the public sector—after all, we’re in the public funding sector—and everyone will have access to it.”
