Are You an Archivist? : Zines as a Method of Archiving
Full text linkZines have started to be seen as an important contribution to archives with other ephemera like flyers and pamphlets. They are especially prominent in archives that focus on preserving the experiences of marginalized communities and highlighting social movements where zines were often utilized as a mode of expression and organizing. While many archives include zines as part of their collection, many zines are miniature archives themselves.
I argue that zines are the most accessible way to archive and that they are an important tool for the future of archives and libraries, especially during a time of mass censorship. I created this zine to highlight specific zines in the Pace Zine Library collection that are acting as miniature archives and utilizing archival materials to tell the stories that historically weren’t prioritized in large archival institutions. This zine was created as part of Pace Zine Library Research Assistantship. Click here to flip through the pages of the zine.https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/student_zines/1017/thumbnail.jp
My Race is My Gender
No full textFor every person, the embodied fact and experiential truth is, my race is my gender. This is the meaning of intersectionality, a Black feminist understanding of identity that is foundational to critical race theory, and it is intimately explored in life writing and photography in My Race is My Gender: Portraits of Nonbinary People of Color. Nonbinary, genderqueer, gender fluid, agender, and androgynous forms of identity and expression can present challenges to social binaries that are as unique as individuals themselves, as we have learned from several large anthologies by nonbinary writers published in recent years. One of the first nonbinary collections to illustrate memoir with photographic portraits, My Race is My Gender is also one of the first to center Black, Indigenous, Latine, and Asian perspectives, with its six contributors presenting an intergenerational look at what it means to belong to marginalized queer communities in the U.S. and feel solidarity with a global majority at the same time. People of color who are nonbinary in multiple ways show us that pursuing gender freedom and resisting racism are one in the same movement, and that learning to recognize nonbinary genders can also be an antiracist practice -- Provided by publisher.https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/bookshelf/1020/thumbnail.jp
Science With Impact : How To Engage People, Change Practice, and Influence Policy
No full textMore than ever, scientists today want their research to count, to matter to society, but are increasingly unsure how to reach a public indifferent or hostile to science. Science with impact offers game-changing insight that can increase the power of scientific research beyond academia. This practical how-to guide will help scientists address public distrust, communicate about uncertainty, and engage effectively with policy makers for real-world impact. It argues that science can-- and should-- make a meaningful difference in society and offers hope and guidance to the scientific community and its allies who wish to rebuild public trust in science. --Page 4 of cover.https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/bookshelf/1025/thumbnail.jp
VHS
No full textWhile collecting the scattered stories of his parents’ entangled passages to the United States, the narrator begins to record the material onto videocassettes through a series of cutting and grafting, splicing footage of his present dislocation and overlaying on the audio track the polyphonic voices of his inherited exiles.https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/bookshelf/1026/thumbnail.jp
Dancing in the Digital Age: How Social Media Shapes the Commercial Dance Industry
Full text linkSocial media has fundamentally transformed the commercial dance industry, reshaping how dancers establish careers, connect with industry professionals, and promote their artistry. This thesis examines the impact of social media platforms – such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube – on career growth by facilitating networking opportunities, increasing visibility, and redefining industry standards. The research explores how digital platforms have shifted the traditional pathways to success, enabling dancers to showcase their work independently while also creating challenges related to self-promotion, competition, and mental health.
Through a series of in-depth interviews with professional dancers and choreographers actively working in the industry, this study analyzes the ways in which social media serves as both a tool and a potential barrier. The project is presented in a 35 minute documentary-style video, incorporating personal testimonies, performance footage, and critical discussions about the evolving role of digital media in dance. The findings show that while social media creates more opportunities, it also adds pressure to constantly create content, gain followers, and market oneself as a brand. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on digital influence in the performing arts and invites further exploration into how social media will continue to shape the industry\u27s future
Just Keep Telling The Story : Wes Anderson\u27s Carefully Crafted Vessels of Loss
Full text linkWes Anderson’s 2023 feature film Asteroid City was met with a more polarized critical and audience response than any of his prior films. Evident in this response is an increasingly apparent distinction between the formal conventions of his films – encompassing elements such as visual aesthetic, filmmaking techniques, and storytelling structure – and the emotional and thematic content. In this paper, I examine the critical response to Asteroid City as well as the perceived dissonance between these two major aspects of his filmmaking in order to explore the relationship between the two, specifically as it pertains to the themes of grief and loss that are a consistent subject across Anderson’s filmography. In order to do so, I first look at the specific critical response to Asteroid City in the context of his filmography, establishing trends and patterns among the ways critics engage with and respond to his films. I then use this as a framework for a close reading of two of his earlier films, The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) and The Darjeeling Limited (2007), specifically looking at his recurring exploration of grief and loss as well as the development of his visual aesthetic and narrative conventions. Examining Asteroid City in this context, I found that, rather than being at odds with one another, the visual hallmarks and consistent aesthetic of Anderson’s films serve as vessels through which he is able to explore his recurrent themes, with Asteroid City acting as the culmination of his effort to understand the emotions of grief and loss through storytelling
An Exploration of Response Bias and Their Impact on Self-Report Psychopathology: The MMPI-A Response Bias Measures
Full text linkUnderstanding Output-Based Pricing Systems
Full text linkIn recent years, Canada has implemented a distinctive carbon pricing regime, known as “output-based pricing systems” (OBPS), to incentivize emission reductions for large industrial facilities. This regime has come under heightened scrutiny as a more general carbon tax, the federal fuel charge, was cancelled in 2025 due to political controversy. However, OBPS regimes have received no prior economic analysis; commentators have mostly criticized the weakness of the emission trading markets within them. This article argues that OBPS should be viewed as primarily implementing a carbon tax with an intensity-based exemption. OBPS further introduces emissions trading into this carbon tax regime, but trading only worsens the regime’s performance by offering a distortionary production subsidy to low emitters and by weakening abatement incentives. Inefficient emissions trading markets are thus not OBPS’s main problem; the combination of carbon taxation with emissions trading may be fundamentally flawed. Moreover, the article highlights several previously neglected affinities between various pricing and regulatory instruments for achieving emission reductions, as well as the difficulty of identifying equivalences even among carbon pricing regimes
