“Ton sexe tellement blanc, tellement grand”: le colonialisme, l’orientalisme et la sexualité dans Celui qui est digne d’être aimé d’Abdellah Taïa
Get PDFThis paper seeks to explore the lasting effects of French Colonialism and Orientalism in the Maghreb through the lens of Abdellah Taïa’s novel Celui qui est digne d’être aimé. In this analysis, I focus on the chapter “Juillet 2005,” in which the protagonist, Ahmed—a young, gay Moroccan man—describes his thirteen-year sexual/romantic relationship with a French man, Emmanuel, and comes to recognize that, within this relationship, he lacks true agency and is still a colonized body. I argue that the effects of Colonialism and Orientalism are made visible through exchanges of power within the images, dialogue, and narration presented in Ahmed and Emmanuel’s relationship. These exchanges, I claim, are present in the dichotomy of speech versus silence, descriptions of the senses, and the narration of sexual encounters. I assert that, because of these exchanges read in tandem with Ahmed’s realization of his lack of agency, “Juillet 2005” represents a piece of resistance literature both within Taïa’s literary world and contemporary Franco-Maghrebi relations

Identification of Uncommon Antibiotic-Producing Illinois Soil Isolates
Get PDFThis project is a collaboration with the Tiny Earth Project Initiative (TEPI), which is a global network of educators and students focused on student sourcing antibiotic discovery from the soil. We researched tester strains B. subtilis and E. coli from the soil isolates obtained. We further verified if the isolates were common antibiotic bacteria. Unfortunately, this project heavily relied on biochemical tests, colony morphology, and Gram stains to reject or fail to reject our hypothesis. Our goal was to discover new antibiotic-producing bacteria that could be beneficial in combating ESKAPE strains. A proper PCR and DNA extraction would be required to identify these unknowns
Pseudomonas and Bacillus Soil Isolates Produce Antibiotics
Get PDFThe recent emergence of antibiotic resistance bacterial strains presents a significant challenge and threat to human healthcare. While new methods of treatment such as bacteriophage therapy and combinations of existing antibiotics are being researched, the human population is in dire need of new antibiotics to replace those that are ineffective. This research addresses this need by identifying antibiotic producing bacteria in a soil sample from Davenport, IA. This project is a collaboration with the Tiny Earth Project Initiative (TEPI), which is a global network of educators and students focused on studentsourcing antibiotic discovery from soil. Microbiology lab techniques and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were used to isolate and identify antibiotic producing bacteria as Bacillus and Pseudomonas
