PROFESSIONAL COLLOQUIA, SEMINARS, LECTURES, and PRESENTATIONS
2016. Workshop on “The Teachable Moment. Conference workshop/session on classroom practice. 8th Annual Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy at the Center for Instructional Development and Educational Research at Virginia Tech. February 10, 2016
The “Teachable Moment” enables deeper insight into the integrative biology of an important classroom experience: When teaching methods informed by existential phenomenology are combined with insights from integrative biology, instructors have greater power to evoke this experience in their students.
2016. Lecture. Biomorphic Art and Architecture – Design with Nature. April 14, 2015 Ijams Nature Center, Science Café, a project of WGBH Science Unit in association with Sigma Xi. April 14.
“Scientific, cultural, and spiritual connections between McHarg’s landmark work in architecture will be linked with the work of other visionaries: The talk will be richly illustrated from (1) Ernst Haeckel’s “Art Forms of Nature” (1899-1904) and its encouragement of an aesthetic, holistic vision of art and science based on his seminal research on oceanic microorganisms, and (2) the architecture of Antoni Gaudí, whose world-heritage architecture was deeply informed by and continually expresses his love and study of nature (spiritually manifest in his huge Sagrada Familia (basilica) in Barcelona (1883-contiunuing today).” PPT Presentation
2015. Seminar “Levels of Organization and Consciousness. Art and Architecture Building. Graduate Seminar in Art. Oct 5.
Different “levels” of consciousness are deployed for different adaptive needs. For example, the relative contributions of specific cognitive functions to a state of consciousness such as creative “flow” is unique in its recruitment of “intuitive” functions.
2015. Presentation. Teaching Conservatives, Liberals, and Libertarians. 7th Annual Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy at the Center for Instructional Development and Educational Research Virginia Tech. February 05, 2015 This presentation is a component of the “Ethology in the Classroom” project. Details
2015. Poster Patterns in Transformative Pedagogy: Ethological Perspective. The 7th Annual Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy at the Center for Instructional Development and Educational Research Virginia Tech February 04, 2015
- TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING describes the student experience of a paradigm shift from merely knowing course content to realizing its relevance in their personal and professional lives. Instructors can facilitate this process with phenomenological methods that enable students to find connections between personal lived experience and course content. This study will provide clues about how phenomenologically-informed pedagogy works to enhance student experience. Link to Greenberg et al 2015

Where does one find the “truth?” In the course of the talk I will outline the biological significance of the truth and the needs that it serves. We will consider instinct and intuition and contrast three “species” of knowing: agnosia, gnosia, and hypergnosia.
2009. The War Between Reality and Truth. Pellissippi State Technical Community College. March 1.
2009. Mystics, Mysteries, and the Limits of Scientific Understanding. The Rationalists of East Tennessee. Roane State Community College. February 4.
This presentation explores the idea of “truth” as something that humans need but can never possess. Our perception of truth involves the outcome of two vital biological processes which impart more-or-less confidence in our belief about some reality. In the course of the talk I will outline the scaffolding and successive approximations that pass for truth — the neurobiological events that underlie these efforts, the forces that effect their integrated functions, and what happens when they become dysfunctional.

1995 Presentation, “Adaptive Responses to Social Subordination.” XXIV Internat. Ethology Conf. Honolulu, Hawaii, Aug 10-17. (with D. Crews, C. Summers, J. Harris)
This presentation developed the argument based on research findings that social subordination of green anolis males that lost dominance fights was an adaptation that enabled physical and physiological recovery until such time as the social dominant met its demise, made more likely by the winner’s adoption of the most conspiculous place in its territory. Subordinates also adopted lower perch positions and were significantly more often a cryptic light brown in color.
1994 Presentation, “Olfactory bulbectomy causes selective behavioral deficits in a lizard,” Annual Meeting of the Animal Behavior Society, Seattle Washington, July 25, 1994. (With Lee Ann Bradley)
Individuals with lesioned olfactory bulbs appeared normal in all respects such as touching things it encountered while patrolling often with its tongue but did significantly less rapid tongue flicking. This suggests two alternate tongue functions, one which depended on olfactory bulbs to interpret information obtained through the vomeronasal orans in the mouth.
