Shay Rabineau
Associate Professor of Israel Studies, Binghamton University, State University of New York
Most of my work deals with history, politics, and environment in Israel/Palestine. At Binghamton University, I teach courses on the history of Israel, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, walking and pilgrimage in the Middle East, the environmental history of Israel/Palestine, and the history of Middle East cartography.
All of these things intersect in my research on the history of trails and walking routes. My first book deals with the history and politics of Israel's marked and mapped hiking trail system: how it took shape on the eve of the 1948 war, and how struggles over its growth mirror struggles over Israeli identity and over the boundaries of the country.
My current book project builds on a trek I completed around the Dead Sea in November 2022. The walk, which took me through Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank, was the first circumnavigation of the Dead Sea on foot since 1934, and the first to take place since the rise of modern nation-states in the Middle East.

Sherif El-Tawil
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Michigan
Sherif El-Tawil is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He graduated with honors from Cairo University in 1989 with a BS in Civil Engineering and received a MS in Structural Engineering in 1991, also from Cairo University. In 1996, he received a PhD degree in Civil Engineering from Cornell University and subsequently joined the faculty of the University of Central Florida. He moved to the University of Michigan in 2002, where he has since been. He also served as Visiting Professor at the University of Rennes, France, in 2008 and the University of California, Irvine. His graduate students and postdocs have all gone into influential positions in academia, industry and government around the world.
Prof. El-Tawil's general research interest lies in computational modeling, analysis, and testing of structural materials and systems. He is especially interested in how buildings and bridges behave under the extreme loading conditions generated by manmade and natural hazards such as seismic excitation, collision by heavy objects, and blast. The focus of his research effort is to investigate how to utilize new materials, concepts and technologies to create innovative structural systems that mitigate the potentially catastrophic effects of extreme loading. Much of his research is directed towards the computational and theoretical aspects of structural engineering, with particular emphasis on computational simulation, constitutive modeling, multiscale techniques, macro-plasticity formulations, nonlinear solution strategies and visualization methods. He has published over 250 technical papers and reports, including 90 refereed journal papers in major publication venues. He is also lead author of a recently released ASCE guide for seismic design of hybrid steel-concrete coupled wall systems.
Prof. El-Tawil also has a strong and long-sustained interest in multi-disciplinary research. He has conducted research in human decision making and social interactions during extreme events and the use of agent based models for egress simulations. He is also interested in visualization and has developed new techniques for applying virtual reality in the field of finite element simulations and the use of augmented reality for rapid assessment of infrastructure damage in the wake of disasters. His interest also extends to the development of new high performance materials, such as ultrahigh performance concretes and high performance asphaltic materials.
A Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Prof. El-Tawil is Editor-in-Chief for the Society's Journal of Structural Engineering. He was former chair of the Society's Technical Administrative Committee on Metals and is former chair of the committee on Composite Steel-Concrete Construction. He is a member of the ASCE Blast, Methods of Analysis and Seismic Effects committees. He is a holder of two patents and has served as consultant to major companies and to agencies such as the Florida Department of Transportation, Louisiana Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Prof. El-Tawil's teaching, service and research efforts have been recognized through numerous national and international awards. Most notably, he is recipient of the Korean Concrete Institute's Paper of the Year Award and ASCE's State-of-the-Art Award, Huber Research Prize, Moisseiff Award (twice), Wellington Prize, Torrens Award, and Norman Medal.

Sherri Lawson Clark
Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Wake Forest University
Dr. Sherri Lawson Clark (Ph.D., American University) is an applied cultural anthropologist, who has conducted ethnographic fieldwork for over 25 years with low-income urban and rural African American, Latino, and white families across the United States. Dr. Clark’s research specialty surrounds housing instability among poor families and examines the intersections of housing policy with health and welfare policies, marriage initiatives, migration, and the effects of residential mobility on the well-being of poor children and families. Her research is guided theoretically through the lens of the built environment in which spaces where the poor live, work, shop, entertain and relax are seen as socially produced, constructed, contested, and embodied.
Dr. Clark teaches courses in cultural anthropology and social stratification in America surrounding her research foci. Many of her courses are cross-listed in the American Ethnic Studies program where she is the Director and Rubin Professor of American Ethnic Studies. In the classroom, she uses her teaching and scholarship to equip students with the necessary knowledge, training, and cultural sensitivities to aid them as future problem-solvers in our global world. Her pedagogy is praxis-oriented whereby students are able to deconstruct and comprehend conceptual arguments by applying them in real life contexts.
