structures of the modern world function by drawing lines, enforcing labels, building binaries, and constructing logics that are meant to describe all things perfectly. To be sure, it can be useful to label, draw lines, articulate binaries, and form logic—a world that discarded each mental process completely would be incomprehensible. Genocide is not solely the product of logic, its labels, and the subsequent hierarchy of meaning to which they give rise: it is the result of a totalized, enforced version

. A variety of novel oligo(ethylene oxide) grafted diblock copolymers with bulky backbones were synthesized from basic building blocks and characterized for use as solid polymer electrolytes which can decouple ionic conductivity from local segmental dynamics. The phase behavior of these systems was studied by atomic force microscopy and appears to deviate substantially from standard theoretical random coil – random coil diblock systems. This deviation is believed to be due to a conformational

To get there, she says leaders should avoid polarizing, zero-sum approaches to solutions and exhibit compassion for all sides. “It’s really about getting us together and making this society better,” she said. “These conversations have to happen.
