The past several years at Flagler have seen major changes to how students learn … and think

Flagler Associate Professor of Sociology Casey Welch talks about working at a fast food chain to research corporate control and ‘cheerful robots’

Don’t dally in the bathroom. That’s part of what Casey Welch, an associate professor of sociology at Flagler, learned a few years back when he went to work at a national fast food chain. He won’t name the burger-flipping joint where he took a minimum-wage job to study how chains exert total control over workers. Even bathroom breaks are timed!

Flagler graduate and high school teacher plays a part in rebuilding Uganda’s devastated educational system

Theatre Arts Department Chair Phyllis Gibbs looks back on four decades at Flagler

Two Flagler alumni in Golf Magazine’s ’40 under 40′

There they were, some of the biggest names in the world of golf: Tiger Woods. Michelle Wie. Donald Trump’s son, Donnie, and even pop star (and golf aficionado) Justin Timberlake.

They were all part of Golf Magazine’s “40 Under 40” list, which was billed as a collection of “the most influential people in golf under 40-years-old.”

But if you looked past the celebrities and sport stars, you may have noticed two more recognizable names on the list: Flagler alumni Laura Hill and Guy Garbarino, both 1998 sport management grads.

Air Force Major served in Iraq and Afghanistan, trained other pilots, and now will work behind the scenes at wars’ command center

For James Scheideman, flying fighter jets into combat is a far cry from what’s portrayed in movies like “Top Gun.” No trigger-happy pilots dog-fighting Soviet MiGs or Hollywood dramatics.

Documentary filmmaker travels to Haiti to chronicle earthquake’s aftermath

It opens with the sound of lapping waves and shots of a serene, glassy bay. Colorful sheets are laid out on the beach. People walk beneath swaying palms. A child strolls along the sand. A man works on a fishing net by the shore. A boy in a striped shirt stands with arms crossed, staring into the camera.

And you have to wait for it — half an agonizing minute — before you finally get what you know is coming: scenes of destruction from the magnitude 7 earthquake that tore apart Haiti in January.

Flagler student Chuck Riffenburg wants to help feed the needy and teach people about going green with Hunger Initiative

He’s never been a farmer. Never been a gardener or even had any training growing plants. But that hasn’t stopped Flagler senior Chuck Riffenburg from starting three community gardens that will help St. Augustine families in need.

They are a people without a country — more than 100,000 Bhutanese refugees who were trapped between a nation that disowned them and another that wouldn’t take them.

For two decades they languished in United Nations refugee camps with nothing but bamboo huts covered by plastic tarps and meager rations, toiletries and other essentials. Then in 2007, the United States and other countries agreed to end their plight and take in the refugees. More than 22,000 have already immigrated, settling in cities across the country like Jacksonville, Fla.

Flagler Assistant Professor’s Book Tries to Make Sense of Religion Being Used to Justify Violence

Osama bin Laden and Mohandas Gandhi are two names you wouldn’t expect to share the same cover of a book.

While the first is an international pariah whose acts of terrorism have brought fear, suffering, hatred and war, the second chose a path of absolute nonviolence as he waged his own “battles” to free India from British Imperial rule.
