Several international scholars visited Vanderbilt University this spring as part of the third cohort of the Global Scholars in Residence program. Introduced in November 2022, the program is designed to boost the university’s global profile through scholarly partnerships and collaboration.

Visiting scholars are selected through an application process that prioritizes new scholarship, collaboration across departments and schools, and investment in ongoing relationships. The goal is to establish new relationships around the world that produce ongoing scholarship and open new avenues for grants and fundraising.

The third cohort who visited campus during the spring semester includes:

• Serkan Özel , an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and Science Education at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey, was hosted by Bethany Rittle-Johnson , the Anita S. and Antonio M. Gotto Professor of Child Development. Özel’s work focuses on empowering students, with a particular emphasis on leveraging innovative STEM education approaches to uplift Turkey’s disadvantaged and marginalized students. He spoke on this work in two lectures at Peabody .
• Carlos Cabrelli and Ursula Molter , leading mathematicians affiliated with Argentina’s National Scientific and Technical Research Council, were hosted by Akram Aldroubi , Stevenson Professor in the Department of Mathematics. Their collaboration with Vanderbilt faculty culminated with the Shanks Workshop in March, which focused on modern harmonic analysis and its applications.
• Simone De Liberato , an expert in quantum nanophotonics, was hosted by Joshua Caldwell , professor of mechanical engineering and professor of electrical and computer engineering. During his stay, he collaborated with researchers in the School of Engineering and the College of Arts and Science and met with undergraduate and graduate students. De Liberato’s Global Scholar Lecture titled “Weaving Quantum Materials with Light” was well received by a large, engaged audience.
• Yusuke Kusatsu , a renowned calligraphy artist and scholar from Tokyo Gakugei University, was hosted by Hideko Shimizu , senior lecturer in Asian studies. Kusatsu was the keynote speaker for a symposium on calligraphy in East Asia, gave numerous calligraphy demonstrations, and partnered with the Vanderbilt University Museum of Art for an exhibition of calligraphy works during his stay.
• Daniel James , an expert in post-Kantian philosophy and social philosophy, was hosted by Karen Ng , associate professor of philosophy. During his visit, James collaborated with faculty on a project titled “Comparative Perspectives on Race, Racism, and Colonialism in Classical German Philosophy and the Black Intellectual Tradition.” He gave two public talks, one hosted by the Department of Philosophy and one by the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities “Black Worlds” seminar.
• Srinivasan Gopalakrishnan , a renowned engineering researcher in the fields of wave propagation and computational mechanics, was hosted by Sankaran Mahadevan , the John R. Murray Sr. Professor of Engineering. As part of his stay, he taught two seminars focusing on emerging methods in computational science and structural health monitoring and multiple guest lectures for graduate courses on continuum solid mechanics.
• Wei Li , the director and dean of the University College London’s Institute of Education, was hosted by Huili Hong, professor of the practice in the Department of Teaching and Learning. Li’s translanguaging research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of space, variety and semiotics. He covered this subject in his marquee event, “What Does a Translanguaging Peabody Aim to Transform?”
• Ana Paula Fukushiro , the head of the respiratory physiology lab and assistant professor in the department of speech and language pathology at the Universidade de São Paulo, was hosted by Tatiana Peredo , research assistant professor in the Department of Special Education. At Vanderbilt, Fukushiro collaborated with faculty to research the effects of a universal early speech and language intervention for children with repaired cleft palate, and she gave a public lecture on language development in infants and young children with CL/P.

• Florian Frick, an expert in real-time communications and hardware, was hosted by Bryan Ward , assistant professor of computer science and of electrical and computer engineering. Frick shared his expertise on security in time-sensitive networking, an emerging networking standard used in industrial control and automation, and helped in establishing Vanderbilt’s TSN networking infrastructure as an international testbed.
• Martin Vinck , a world leader in the analysis methods for neural data, was hosted by Kari Hoffman , associate professor of psychology. Vinck gave a weekly series of in-depth tutorials to the neuroscience community on the analysis methods he has developed, and he met with Vanderbilt labs to discuss how they might implement these methods.

“This program continues to build strong research connections for our faculty and students,” Vice Provost for Arts, Libraries and Global Engagement Tracy Sharpley-Whiting said. “I am grateful to the extraordinary researchers who have joined us this spring as well as our Vanderbilt faculty who have hosted them. There is exciting work emerging from these collaborations.”

A powerful stage for learning: Vanderbilt and TPAC celebrate successful wrap of InsideOut events

Apr 23, 2024, 9:44 PM

Vanderbilt and the Tennessee Performing Arts Center concluded their 2023-2024 InsideOut series with an impactful event showcasing The Color Purple on Apr. 12. InsideOut is a free community learning program sponsored by Vanderbilt, which celebrated 21 years of partnership with TPAC in February.

Throughout the series, Vanderbilt faculty and staff engaged in panel conversations with cast, crew, directors and community members to discuss the important role of the arts in shaping our communities and personal experiences. Audience members were not only treated to these thought-provoking discussions but also enjoyed exclusive performances from each production.

Along with The Color Purple , this season of Vanderbilt’s collaboration with the InsideOut series featured Indecent , Tina and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat .

The Color Purple Divinity School Dean Yolanda Pierce , along with Nashville Repertory Theatre cast members Maya Antoinette Riley and Elliott Winston Robinson and Kristin Horsley , TPAC’s senior director of education outreach, discussed The Color Purple ’s evolution from book to movie to musical and the spiritual, emotional and cultural contributions of the book’s author, Alice Walker. The novel follows Celie, an African American woman in the early 20th-century South, who overcomes abuse and discrimination to find self-love and independence through the help of other resilient women in her life.

During the discussion, Pierce emphasized the ability of certain stories to remain timeless and transcend generations. “A part of our souls needs to hear the message that is in The Color Purple . It is a story about human resiliency and live theater is powerful in sharing that message,” said Pierce. “The jarring nature of it is the reminder that there are bits of joy and laughter in the midst of pain.”

Vanderbilt students participated as audience members through a campus partnership with Residential Colleges, enriching their educational experience with firsthand exposure to the arts.

Tina TPAC’s production of Tina chronicled the life and career of iconic rock 'n' roll singer Tina Turner. In February, Vanderbilt Divinity School outreach librarian Kashif Graham joined Bryan Pierce , director of curation at the National Museum of African American Music and Tina cast members to discuss the famed artist and the modern musical portrayal of her life and legacy. The panel explored themes of Black womanhood, artistic and personal legacies and the power of storytelling.

When speaking with fellow panelists, Graham shared, “Legacy is every life that you ever touched. Make your truest self the strongest it can be and let it lead you in life. Tina’s story teaches that.”

Indecent In January, Vanderbilt Theatre Professor Leah Lowe led a conversation with the Nashville Repertory Theatre’s artistic director, Micah-Shane Brewer, and Howard Snyder, dramaturg for Indecent . The play portrays the controversies surrounding the early 20th-century play God of Vengeance , highlighting the risks taken by artists to perform it and the themes of love and censorship entwined within its history.

Reflecting on the power of live performance, Lowe who is also the director of Vanderbilt’s Curb Center for Art, Enterprise, and Public Policy, said, "This play is not just a performance; it is a testament to the devotion of the people who breathe life into its every moment."

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat Last November, a sold-out crowd engaged as Vanderbilt brain science expert Lisa Monteggia and Nashville Opera artistic director John Hoomes explored the artistic approach and scientific research behind the Nashville Opera’s The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat .

Vanderbilt will continue to collaborate with TPAC on the InsideOut event series for 2024-2025, so stay tuned for next season’s line-up.

About TPAC’s InsideOut Program The Vanderbilt-sponsored TPAC InsideOut Engagement Series is an educational outreach program that offers lunchtime previews, evening performance excerpts and discussions, workshops and sneak previews called LookIns. The series is an opportunity for the public to engage as cast members, directors and Vanderbilt professors take a dive deep into the subject matter of a production and share specific insight with the audience. These programs spotlight productions from TPAC and TPAC-affiliated organizations, including Nashville Repertory Theatre, Nashville Ballet and Nashville Opera.

Vanderbilt standout Gordon Sargent elects to return for senior season

With a TOUR card secured for June 2025, Sargent stays at Vanderbilt for his final season, deferring his Accelerated performance benefits

Change Text Size

Gordon Sargent is ready for one more ride.

The standout Vanderbilt junior announced Thursday that he will return to Vanderbilt for his senior season, deferring his performance benefits from eclipsing the PGA TOUR University Accelerated 20-point threshold.

Sargent was eligible to accept PGA TOUR membership this June but will wait until he turns professional in June 2025. He will then have exempt TOUR membership through the 2026 PGA TOUR season.

"I am excited to announce that I’ll be returning to Vanderbilt for my senior year in 2024-25,” said Sargent. “It’s been an honor to represent this university alongside my teammates and coaches, and I look forward to continuing to compete - and further my education - at this amazing place that has given so much to me.”

Sargent is the first player to earn TOUR membership via PGA TOUR University Accelerated, and he’s the first to earn a TOUR card on collegiate merit prior to his senior year.

In an exclusive interview with PGATOUR.COM, Sargent explained why he decided to stay, where he can still improve, and what he’s learned from Nick Dunlap.

“Being with my teammates, traveling to some great places–it's one of those situations where you kind of never want to leave.”

Gordon Sargent

Editor’s note: This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

PGATOUR.COM: Take us through the timeline of how you decided to stay at Vandy another year. You crossed the threshold for PGA TOUR Accelerated, and then…

SARGENT: I got (to 20 points) in October in Abu Dhabi (at the World Amateur Team Championships) and then reviewed my options over the offseason. I was kind of hoping a decision would come clear, and obviously, nothing's just going to. There's not going to be a perfect answer. After playing a few college events in the spring, I think you really appreciate how much you enjoy college golf. I've talked to Nick (Dunlap) a little bit since he's turned pro, and it's one of those things where you're only going to have four years in college. My dream is playing on the PGA TOUR. With having the same status if I come back to school for one year, it was kind of a no-brainer. I can still take advantage of another year of school, be with my teammates, get my degree and continue to get better.

If you talk to anybody who's played college golf, they really do say it's the best time of your life. I definitely valued that. I don't think anybody was going to be mad at me if I left or mad at me if I stayed. But after reviewing with my parents, coaches and team-wise, it just seemed like it was the best thing for me. I could stay in Nashville and continue to get better. And I mean, obviously, it worked for Ludvig (Åberg), him staying all four years. It kind of seemed like one of those decisions where with how competitive college golf is, you're kind of prepping for the PGA TOUR in college and I feel like having another year definitely would not hurt.

PGATOUR.COM: What advice did Nick Dunlap give you?

SARGENT: Obviously after him winning, he's playing well, it’s a no-brainer to take advantage of those (2024) Signature Events. Obviously, the adaption was going to be tough, I mean it’s the next day, he's a PGA TOUR pro and I can tell you a week before he probably wasn't necessarily thinking that. So even with me being able to plan for however many months, it still kind of seemed like, personally, I just wanted to have another year to just continue to develop. I feel like I can get the most out of the prep. Nick started to play a little bit better recently, he played well in Houston, but in talking to him, he definitely misses college a little bit, hanging out with teammates and stuff. Pro golf is definitely a different animal. So yeah, I mean we didn't necessarily talk a ton about that. He definitely loves the situation he's in, but I think anyone you talk to on the PGA TOUR would say the more time you have to prep before you get to the PGA TOUR, then the better off you're going to be.

PGATOUR.COM Sounds like you basically said, “Hey, things are moving fast, I would like to slow down for one more year.”

SARGENT: For sure. I would have good status if I turned pro this June and it was one of those decisions where it's like, is there a right or a wrong answer? Probably not. But I have been a planner my whole life, so it's nice to–I can plan that I have one more year and turn pro next June. I continue to have that freedom of getting better, being with my teammates and then the decision's already made. It just seemed like everything fit the mold more perfectly when it came to staying another year, continuing to develop and trying to almost use it as a “TOUR” year, trying new things, trying to be a pro golfer in college, which I feel like is definitely possible with how good college golf is now.

For me, it’s trying to make the transition that much smoother. I feel like watching Ludvig, you can tell it's not like he's trying to learn courses and learn how to be a PGA TOUR player. I feel like he did a really good job of his senior year, playing it like a “TOUR” year and then when he came out on TOUR, you could tell he was ready.

PGATOUR.COM: You played the Masters, a couple of TOUR events – are there areas of your game that you’d still like to refine before you start full-time on TOUR?

SARGENT: The bad shots, where they end up, is the biggest thing when you watch a PGA TOUR player when they're on. Their misses are in better spots. So just continuing to develop consistency–Scottie Scheffler was a great example of playing boring golf, right? He's not doing anything crazy, not doing anything stupid. You can do that in college golf. I mean, is it going to be as fun? Maybe not, but just kind of seeing and making slow progress. Even this spring, (I) feel like I haven't played very well in the first couple events, but I felt like I matured and found ways to hit different shots and had the freedom to work on things that I know that I'll need.

I feel like that's one of the real big benefits in college is that, every single week on the PGA TOUR you're trying to win. As a college program, we have had our eyes on the NCAAs all year, but if we have to take a step back at one tournament, I don't think it's too big of a deal – just being able to have the freedom to work on things. Being with my teammates, traveling to some great places–it's one of those situations where you kind of never want to leave.

PGATOUR.COM: Did you feel pressure – external or internal – to turn professional now?

SARGENT: I think from people who've never played college golf, who don't understand the situation that college golfers are in, where it's the best time in their lives. I didn't love the idea of not knowing what the next couple of months held, so I may have put a little bit of pressure on myself. I was trying to make a decision, but I figured, get through the first few events in the spring and it'll kind of unfold itself. I just came to the point where everyone around me decided staying was a good option, and if pro golf is always going to be there and you can have another year to get some reps under your belt, I feel like it's really beneficial.

PGATOUR.COM: What’s the one thing you’re looking forward to over the next year now that you know you’re staying in college?

SARGENT: Being on a new team is always fun. I think being a senior will be cool, too, just kind of being one of the leaders. Obviously, Jackson (Van Paris) and I will be the two seniors, so it'll be nice to be one of the guys on the team that everyone looks up to. It'll be cool next year when we have some younger guys, we can as seniors go to take some freshmen, sophomores under our belt and see how good we can get. I think there were a lot of expectations this year and we're looking forward to the postseason, but I think just staying another year, being a senior, enjoying the college life and while also knowing, I mean knowing there's a PGA TOUR card still waiting for you, it gives you a lot of freedom if you need to make some changes. Then off the golf course, just continue to mature as a person and just better prepare myself for the future.
