The American Society of Criminology’s 2022 Annual Meeting
Full text linkUsing Title III funds, I attended the American Society of Criminology’s (ASC) 2022 Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, which took place from Wednesday, November 16th through Saturday, November 19th. Of note was the Presidential address given by Janet Lauritsen of the University of Missouri at St. Louis who stressed how politicians should utilize lessons learned from localized efforts at fighting crime in formulating their crime policies. I did not present at the conference, rather I used the conference to formulate ideas about future research and teaching. In all, I attended sessions from Thursday through Saturday on: (1) prison-based research, (2) teaching in prison, and (3) social networking research. In regard to prison-based research, I attended several sessions that involved researchers using actual prisoners as researchers in their research projects. This provided me with some ideas for conducting similar research at the local prisons associated with Lincoln University’s teaching in prison program. On teaching in prison, I attended several presentations by the ASCs Convict Criminology division where I was able to meet with Ian Ross, who authored one of the main textbooks on Convict Criminology. I will be able to use some of what we discussed at the Convict Criminology sessions in teaching with Lincoln’s prison program. Finally, I attended several sessions on social networking research. Recently, I was awarded a Department of Homeland Security grant to research labor trafficking. Attending the sessions allowed me review what other labor trafficking researchers were doing with their research
Central States Communication Association
Full text linkThe Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is set in a narrative atemporality that functions outside the bounds of time, hinting at all of the feminist protests that used the term witch as a way to empower women, and using the genre of horror to aid in the feminist protests. As Sabrina becomes a champion for other students in her patriarchal schools (one witch and one mortal) she becomes a transgenerational feminist in the show

2021 National Association of Extension 4-H Youth Development Professionals Conference Report
Full text linkThe 2021 National Association of Extension 4-H Youth Development Professionals (NAE4-HYDP) Conference was held in Memphis, Tennessee November 15-18. After switching to a virtual format last year due to COVID-19 concerns, I was pleased that this year’s conference was in-person and at a location that was reasonable for travel from Missouri. All conference activities were held at the Historic Peabody Hotel, and the theme of the event was “Pick 4-H: It’s Music to Inspire!”
NAE4-HYDP is the boots-on-the-ground component of the 4-H movement and is made up of 4-H professionals from land-grant institutions across the United States. There were 875 youth development professionals in attendance at the 2021 conference with another 350 joining virtually. I attended this conference for the first time through Title III Professional Development funds. I am happy to share my experience with other youth development professionals

APS March Meeting 2020: Undergraduate-Friendly Research in Soft Matter and Beyond
Full text linkThe in-person APS March Meeting 2020 taking place in Denver during March 02-06, 2020 was canceled in the last minute out of Covid-19 concerns for the well-being of the scientific community as well as the population of the city of Denver and the state of Colorado. Nevertheless, well-planned logistics by the physics community and the APS leadership, allowed attendants to share their findings, presenting their research works to their peers, and continuing the work towards the advancement of science. Given the historical and on-going under-representation of students of color in science and technology at all academic levels, there is a need to build opportunities for our students to develop scientific skills and mastery by getting involved in research. This report summarizes undergraduate-friendly research in the field of Soft Matter that I found presented in this virtual APS March Meeting 2020. Also, I include other interesting findings that can be useful for serving our students, including lectures on Physics Education Research and other resources for Minority Serving Institutions

R181. Unsilencing the Undergraduate Workshop.
(Lisa Page, Sybil Baker, Ira Sukrungruang, Robin Hemley, Leah Huizar) Room 007A, Henry B. González Convention Center, River
Description: Level Undergraduate workshops involve students from diverse backgrounds. Because of this, the traditional workshop model does not always work effectively. As Beth Nguyen states in “Unsilencing the Workshop”: “a system that relies on silencing and skewed power and endurance is a terrible system.” In this panel, experienced teachers will discuss their approaches to teaching undergraduate creative writing, and attendees will leave with practical models and practices to initiate in their classes
