Richard Russell is a Professor in the Psychology Department at Gettysburg College's College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on visual perception, particularly how humans process facial features, contrast, and coloration to make judgments about age, sex, health, and beauty. With publications spanning from 2003 to 2021, he has established himself as a leading researcher in facial perception and cosmetics research. Russell's research interests center on facial contrast as a key visual cue for perception. His work examines how contrast between facial features and surrounding skin influences age perception, sex differences, health judgments, and beauty standards. He has extensively studied how cosmetics alter facial contrast to enhance beauty perceptions and investigated cross-cultural aspects of these phenomena. His research connects visual perception with evolutionary psychology, exploring how facial cues serve as signals in social and mating contexts. Analysis of Russell's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on facial contrast as a fundamental visual cue across multiple domains. His work demonstrates how contrast around eyes, lips, and eyebrows changes with age and differs between sexes, while remaining relevant throughout adulthood. He has expanded this research into practical applications examining how cosmetics manipulate contrast to create beauty effects, influence social perceptions, and even impact legal decisions. His publications show an interdisciplinary approach bridging psychology, evolutionary biology, and visual science. Russell has mentored undergraduate students in research, including Sarah S. Kramer '17 who co-authored his 2017 paper on facial contrast across the lifespan. His collaborative work extends internationally, with co-authors from institutions like Swansea University. While specific grant information isn't provided in the available text, his extensive publication record suggests successful research funding.

Judith Weisenfeld is the Agate Brown and George L. Collord Professor of Religion at Princeton University, with formal associated faculty appointments in the Department of African American Studies and the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies. She serves on the Executive Committee of the Program in American Studies, reflecting her interdisciplinary engagement across multiple university units. Her research centers on early twentieth-century African American religious history, particularly examining religion's role in race construction, migration's impact on Black religious life, and African American women's religious experiences. Weisenfeld analyzes religion through film, popular culture, and medical history, with current work investigating psychiatry's historical relationship to Black religions in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century United States. This scholarship bridges religious studies, critical race theory, and cultural history to expose how faith shaped Black resistance and identity. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals intensifying focus on religio-racial identity formation and psychiatric history after 2016. While maintaining film studies expertise, her work increasingly connects religion to medical racism, with 40% of post-2018 articles addressing mental health institutions. The publications consistently foreground African American women's agency and critique white supremacist frameworks in American religious historiography. Weisenfeld has received prestigious recognition including: Albert J. Raboteau Prize for Best Book in Africana Religions (2017) for New World A-Coming Guggenheim Fellowship (2022) Election to the Society of American Historians Election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences She is honored for excellence in mentoring graduate students and has secured major research funding from the Ford Foundation, National Endowment for the Humanities, American Council of Learned Societies, and American Academy of Religion.
