顶级国产视频 & Marshall junior Josh Kulak has always been drawn to the parallels between animal and human experience.

That exact sentiment brought him to F&M.

鈥淚t was clear to me that F&M was an environment that would support the interdisciplinary chaos that I wanted to cause,鈥� said Kulak, an animal behavior major with a keen interest in human rights. 

鈥淭his semester, I literally walk from a 25-person class with one of the foremost scholars on animal welfare, to an eight-person class with the founder of the . You can't get that in other places,鈥� said Kulak.

Kulak is one of seven students featured in the Phillips Museum of Art exhibit, 鈥淪pectra: Exploring Neurodiverse Art in 顶级国产视频 & Marshall College.鈥� The exhibition celebrates the artwork of students on campus who identify as neurodivergent. 

Today, the term 鈥渘eurodivergent鈥� is commonly used as an identifier for people whose brain works in ways traditionally considered atypical. Neurodiversity can include psychiatric conditions, learning disabilities and other conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder and Tourette syndrome.

The road to a late autism diagnosis in 2023 was not easy for Kulak, but 鈥淚 have been really well supported by SAS [The Office of Student Accessibility Services] and professors,鈥� he said. 

鈥淚 understand things somewhat differently from a great number of people,鈥� Kulak added. 

That understanding helps Kulak excel as an entomologist. In addition to his studies at F&M, Kulak volunteers with the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University and the North Museum of Lancaster.

Kulak鈥檚 Spectra exhibit 鈥� a dazzling display of pinned beetles ethically sourced from museum suppliers 鈥� blends scientific aspects (data labels, pins, archival storage) with aesthetic arrangement in the interest of two simple goals: to highlight diversity and foster empathy.

鈥淭he driving philosophy of all that I do is that diversity is beautiful, whether biological, neurological or ideological,鈥� Kulak said. 鈥淏y challenging existing perceptions in the world of insects, it is possible to inspire a kind of empathy that goes far beyond them. If one learns to appreciate even the smallest creatures as beautiful, then one鈥檚 entire view of the world shifts.鈥�

The Phillips Museum of Art invites the campus community to attend a Feb. 15 reception celebrating 鈥淪pectra: Exploring Neurodiverse Art at F&M,鈥� 4:30-5:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided. 

In collaboration with Museum staff, The Office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS), the Learning Support Specialist, Deaf and Disabled Student Union (DDSU) and Active Minds helped advise student artists and organize the exhibition and related programming.
