Dr. Brack Hale and Dr. Alexandra Peat, Professors of Environmental Science and Literature, respectively, have spent the past semester doing research while on sabbatical. Correlating with their fields of study and their teaching at Franklin, both professors wrote and received grants from prestigious institutions to support the research they’re conducting. The research itself has been extremely complementary to Dr. Peat’s and Dr. Hale’s prior research, as well as their courses here at Franklin.
