I have, especially when it comes to the way Latinos are racialized in our society as outsiders. Young: I’m looking forward to hearing my colleagues and hearing the other speakers. I’m also looking forward to getting a chance to talk about my work in an arena, style and platform that is completely different than how I’m used to talking about my work. Busick: I think the opportunity to reach a different audience with a message that I think is important about the quality of our education, the

If season two of Sanditon showed us anything, it is that the eyes are easily deceived. After a season full of emotional manipulation through gaslighting and rakes disguised as men of gentility, the final episode retained a few surprises, including the revelation that Charles Lockhart…
. CHARLES: What did your father give you? GEORGIANA: Education, an inheritance. ‘Tis both a blessing and a curse. (S2E5) After a little more dialogue in which Charles shares some of his background story, the scene ends in a passionate kiss between them, almost disguising the fact that as the camera pulls out, viewers can see pentimento in the portrait. Pentimento is when a previous painting choice can be seen beneath a new one, and in this scene it enables the audience to see Georgiana’s painted updo

Leading the fight Mark Twain once complained that everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it. With apologies to Twain, I’d like to suggest that many people today are talking about global health but nobody seems to agree on what to do…
Gates Sr. were looking for something to do with all that extra money. The Gates family had looked into supporting various philanthropic efforts in education, libraries and, on the global scale, population issues. But ultimately it was the simple vaccine – or more accurately, the lack of childhood immunizations across much of the world – that gave the Gates Foundation its primary mission. And so the revolution in global health began. Dr. William Foege ’57, former director of the U.S. Centers for

Melodramatic, selfish, pouty Mary Musgrove is the only Persuasion (2022) character who says anything meaningful about Regency womanhood that is congruous with gender expectations today. Her lines in Carrie Cracknell’s adaptation are like Reductress captions, with just a little less of the same satirical punch.…
. A Mary-meme cannot encapsulate all of this information and context. Due to its sparse text and image pairing, it is not structured to be educational but it can start a critical conversation. Mia McKenna-Bruce’s Mary succeeds overall in the way she disguises the childlike as childish, thereby giving audiences opportunities for reflection on their social environments if they engage. Another exceedingly quotable Mary with the last name Wollstonecraft advocated for education as an antidote to

interest, I am struck by the general lack of concern for animals in universities. It seems to me that nonhuman animals have not fared well in American higher education. Photo taken during a J-term course in Uruguay in 2014 by Mariann Funkhouser (‘16) When I refer to academic animals, I am not referring directly to animal experimentation in universities, though this is a related issue. Rather, I refer to the ways academics are likely to conceptualize nonhuman animals—the animals we construct, the animal
