The Three Dresses
No full textWhile combining fiction writing and artistic processes in my creative practice PhD project (2020), I worked with several fairy tales. My short story “The Three Dresses” is written from the point of view of dresses made from snow, darkness, and mirrors. As a first-person narrative, the reader embodies each dress in turn throughout the story, which alludes to “Cinderella” traditions from subtypes ATU510A and ATU501B. The main point of differentiation is in the agency of the dresses as speaking objects and their ability to reveal the relationship between the seamstress who made them and the persecuted young woman who wears them
Gender-Based Associations Between College Students\u27 Disclosure to Siblings and Disclosure to Best Friends or Romantic Partners
No full textEmerging adulthood is a time filled with instability, but disclosure within close egalitarian relationships such as siblings, friends, and romantic partners can help when coping with stress. The present study examines patterns of disclosure across these relationships, as well as specific associations between relationships with siblings and peers. College students (N = 232, M age = 18.5 years, 62.9% female) reported their frequency of disclosure to their closest-aged sibling, same-gender best friend, and, when applicable, different-gender romantic partner (N = 85). Results show that patterns of disclosure within relationships differ based on the type of issue that is being disclosed, and peers are chosen most often to be recipients of disclosure. The associations between sibling and peer disclosure are impacted by the sibling gender composition and show a compensatory relationship for individuals from mixed-gender dyads. Taken together, the findings of the present study highlight the unique role each of these relationships plays in emerging adulthood

No full textThe Ethical Responsibilities of Forensic Science Organizations in an Era of Oppressive Legislative Action
Get PDFIn 2023 and 2024, a wave of anti-DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) legislation has been passed in multiple states, representing a dramatic reversal from 2019–2022, when violence and systemic injustices against minority individuals were highlighted and DEI measures increased. In forensic anthropology, where practitioners frequently work with remains of individuals from marginalized identities, these events have forced a necessary period of disciplinary and individual self-reflection regarding our complicity in the entrenched racism and cis-heteropatriarchy that underlies our society. This article reflects on the role that professional forensic science organizations play in perpetuating and/or combatting inequity. It discusses how recent anti-DEI legislation negatively impacts forensic science, hurting both practitioners and scholarly output, and the ethical responsibilities of professional organizations to publicly affirm support for minority members and contradict scientific misinformation around these legislative measures. In particular, the authors highlight how the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) has responded—often with silence and a lack of meaningful change—and propose potential remedies to promote long-term equitable changes both within the AAFS and external to it. The role of professional organizations in supporting all of their members, and good science, is more important now than ever, and it is time we expect and demand more from them
“Let Me Tell You Some Stories, and You Will Record Them”: Dan Ben-Amos and the Study of Jewish Folklore and Ethnology
Get PDFDan Ben-Amos (1934–2023) was associated with groundbreaking work beginning during the 1960s on concepts of context and performance and the paradigm shift in folkloristics with his groundbreaking essay “Toward a Definition of Folklore in Context.” His odyssey from Israel to the United States, including formative experiences as a youth absorbing ideas about social reality and Jewish folklore as counterculture, has a profound influence on an equally profound shift in the understanding of Jewish experience as well as on the globalization of folkloristics as a discipline. In addition to interpreting his culminating work of the Folktales of the Jews series of books, this essay shows the continuation of his legacy in other projects he initiated or envisioned
Learning from Fairy Tales, Collective Action, and Cultural Excavation: An Interview with Jack Zipes
No full textBy asking Jack Zipes about his critical genealogies, political formation, scholarly interventions, and multipronged projects in fairy-tale studies, the Marvels & Tales editorial team seeks to contribute to a fuller understanding of Jack Zipes’s long-term engagement with fairy tales as a scholar, storyteller, writer, and teacher
The Right to Be Heard: Young People’s Participation in Policy Making and the Power of Storytelling
No full textThis article explores the role of storytelling in increasing young people’s participation in policy making. The relevance of Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is discussed, followed by the history of young people’s active participation in human rights movements. The theoretical frameworks around political participation and the power of storytelling are reviewed. Six case studies are presented, including two from Canada, one from Indonesia, and three from the United States. Finally, findings suggest that storytelling has the potential to bring young people’s voices to the forefront of the human rights issues affecting their lives and to empower them to recognize their individual and collective agency
Cybersecurity, Image-Based Control, and Process Design and Instrumentation Selection
Get PDFWithin an Industry 4.0 framework, a variety of new considerations are of increasing importance, such as securing processes against cyberattacks on the control systems or utilizing advances in image processing for image-based control. These new technologies impact relationships between process design and control. In this work, we discuss some of these potential relationships, beginning with a discussion of side channel attacks and what they suggest about ways of evaluating plant design and instrumentation selection, along with controller and security schemes, particularly as more data is collected and there is a move toward an industrial Internet of Things. Next, we highlight how the 3D computer graphics software tool set Blender can be utilized to analyze a variety of considerations related to ensuring safety of plant operation and facilitating the design of assemblies with image-based sensing
Lyapunov-Based Cyberattack Detection for Distinguishing Between Sensor and Actuator Attacks
Get PDFControl-theoretic cyberattack detection strategies are control strategies where control theory can be used in the design of the detection policies and analysis of stability properties with and without cyberattacks. This work provides a step toward understanding how to diagnose cyberattacks using control-theoretic cyberattack detection mechanisms. Specifically, we analyze the conditions under which a control-theoretic cyberattack detection strategy developed in our prior work to handle detection of simultaneous actuator and sensor attacks can be extended to distinguish between whether attacks are occurring on sensors or actuators. We present and evaluate heuristic concepts for attempting to diagnose sensor attacks; these again demonstrate the utility of control-theoretic diagnosis policies and lead to further suggestions for such control-theoretic policies
