Panel: The Case for University-Based Publishing--Models, Missions, and Momentum
No full textAn Open Access Week 2025 event.
As commercial scholarly publishing consolidates and costs continue to rise, universities are working to regain control over how scholarship is disseminated, maintained, and acquired. This panel will examine the promise and challenges of university-based publishing—from university presses to library publishing programs and beyond.
Panelists will discuss:
How university-based publishing differs from commercial models, and why this distinction matters for equity, sustainability, and the future of scholarship
University presses today: challenges, opportunities, initiatives, and strategies for thriving
What is library publishing, why libraries publish, and how library publishing advances access and equity
Funding models and sustainability for university-based publishing
How faculty, libraries, universities, and university presses can collaborate to build more equitable, community-owned scholarly communication systems

What is Self-Archiving (and Why You Should)

"Journals come and go. Academic societies merge or fade in relevance. Projects end abruptly. Scholarly work should create a permanent record, but the reality of human and institutional lives can interfere. There’s no single solution to the tides of time, but self-archiving is one popular method for preservation...

SILENT STRATEGIES: INNER SPEECH AND PROBLEM SOLVING IN APHASIA
No full textThesis (Ph.D.) - Indiana University, Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences and the Program in Neuroscience, 2025Inner speech, the experience of “talking to yourself in your head”, plays a crucial role in cognition, communication, and self-regulation. While inner speech has been studied for nearly two centuries, its significance in clinical populations, particularly individuals with aphasia, is an emerging area of research. This dissertation explores the multifaceted nature of inner speech in both healthy aging and aphasia, examining its role in language processing, problem-solving, and psychosocial health through interdisciplinary methods.
Aphasia, a language disorder most often caused by stroke, affects over two million people in the U.S., disrupting various aspects of language production and comprehension. Some individuals with aphasia report experiencing disruptions in their inner speech. This research employs multiple methodologies, including inner rhyme judgments, articulatory suppression, rating scales, questionnaires, and experience sampling, to assess inner speech at the word level, in daily life, during problem-solving tasks, and in relation to psychosocial well-being.
Findings reveal that while many individuals with aphasia continue to use inner speech frequently, their inner speech is less varied in content and function compared to their neurologically healthy counterparts. In daily life, people with aphasia most often use inner speech to make decisions about food, plan activities, solve problems, and self-motivate. Experimentally, disrupting inner speech hinders improvement on complex reasoning tasks, underscoring its role in cognitive processing. Objective measures, such as inner rhyme judgment, are associated with aphasia severity and cognitive abilities like inhibition, reasoning, and problem solving, whereas subjective reports of inner speech are not. Additionally, inner speech use is linked to psychosocial health, with certain patterns, such as replaying past conversations, being associated with lower quality of life in individuals with aphasia.
Overall, this dissertation provides a comprehensive perspective on inner speech, demonstrating its significance beyond language production. By integrating insights from psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, and speech-language pathology, it advances our understanding of inner speech as a critical component of cognition, communication, and well-being

No full textSEXUAL PLEASURE EXPERIENCES OF SOUTH ASIAN IMMIGRANT WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES
No full textThesis (Ph.D.) - Indiana University, School of Public Health, 2025Background: South Asians (SA) are one of the fastest-growing immigrant populations in the United States, yet SA women are often overlooked in sexual health research. Further, existing sexual health studies focus largely on risk and prevention, neglecting feminist and sex-positive perspectives. In this qualitative study, I examine the sexual pleasure experiences of SA immigrant young women in the United States both individually and with partner.
Methods: I conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews with 38 SA immigrant women aged 18–30 in February-March 2025. I recruited participants through purposive and referral sampling around a university campus via word-of-mouth, social media, and SA cultural centers. I conducted interviews in English, Hindi, Urdu, and Marathi, then translated, transcribed, coded, and analyzed them using reflexive thematic analysis (TA). I used Black Feminist Thought and Intimate Justice Framework to guide the data collection and analysis, examining how interlocking social identities affect sexual pleasure experiences of the participants.
Results: I captured the participants’ experiences with: (1) body dissatisfaction and sexual pleasure (2) unwanted sex with their partner. I found that SA immigrant women’s sexual pleasure is shaped by intersecting systems of oppression, including colorism, cultural surveillance, Western beauty standards, and patriarchal norms. These forces led to participants’ body dissatisfaction, low genital self-image, and self-consciousness during sex, leading some participants to avoid masturbation and oral sex. Gendered expectations positioned sex as a duty and stigmatized participants’ desire, resulting in unwanted sexual experiences. Many participants internalized feelings of un-deservingness and suppressed their sexual needs to maintain relationship harmony. While some found temporary relief through migration and supportive relationships, the root causes of these struggles were structural, not individual.
Conclusion: These findings highlight how structural inequities rooted in gendered, racialized, and cultural norms undermine SA women’s sexual agency and pleasure. I call for culturally grounded interventions, including pleasure-based sex education, women’s peer support groups, and legal reforms that affirm women’s desires, challenge stigma, and recognize the emotional and embodied dimensions of consent
