People to Objects: The Impacts of Racial Stereotypes on Indigenous People
This panel will address the many impacts of racial stereotypes of Native Americans making the connection between dehumanization, tokenism, disregard of our tribal leaders, the high suicide rate amongst our young people and the violence and hate that we face every day in Indian country. The panel includes Charlene Teters, a Spokane activist, artist and lecturer, and Don Messec, an artist and activist whom together as graduate students at the University of Illinois founded the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media. An organization that later came under the umbrella of the American Indian Movement. This frontline organization led the national protests against the use and abuse of Native names and images by sports and media. The panel will also include a respected Spokane Tribal elder, Ronald “Buzz” Gutierrez a former Spokane Tribe Chairman and council member. He also is a founding board member of the National Indian Gaming Association
Leadership Education and Otherism
Othering is often an overlooked ethical and theoretical issue in the field of Leadership Studies. The need for greater inclusion in our organizations and in our communities is more important than ever given the structural disparities in access to health care and education, in criminal justice sentencing, and in fulfillment of leadership roles themselves. People in positions of power have a responsibility to understand othering processes and their impacts in organizations (Palfreyman, 2005). Leadership education can help to form leaders who are more aware of the importance of the quality of their relationships with the Other, grounded in values of equity and justice, and explicitly integrate otherness into leadership curriculum. In this presention leadership theory is briefly reviewed, focusing on leadership as a relational construct with consequences for forming in-groups and out-groups and define othering and Otherism. To conclude, an example of class using an Otherism approach in leadership education is provided, arguing that the process of how we name the Other, how we treat them, and the purpose or essence of othering is essential to leadership education

Pollinators of Gonzaga University
This data is from a public science project conducted by Sophie O\u27Shei (Gonzaga \u2724) investigating pollinator diversity in and around Gonzaga\u27s campus. Photos of plants and pollinators were submitted using iNaturalist, an online platform and app that allows users to upload photos of animals, plants, insects, etc. and identifies their species using AI. It also tracks where photos were taken. Users were then able to go through uploaded images and suggest what species they identify in the photo, which can confirm or correct the AI\u27s identification.
The project started during Earth Week 2023, giving students, staff, and other members of the GU community the opportunity to participate throughout the spring/summer and into the fall. With all of these crowd-sourced data, we can better quantify pollinator diversity on campus as well as the kinds of plants different pollinators prefer. This could help guide future landscaping choices and student involvement in pollinator conservation.
This record includes three datasets representing O\u27Shei\u27s observations from April-May, June-July, and August-September of 2023.
A gallery of photos with accompanying metadata is available for viewing at https://repository.gonzaga.edu/pollinators.

Anti-Rationalist Developments: Supernaturalism and the German Religious Awakening
The emergence of post-Kantian theological rationalism in early-nineteenth-century German Protestantism ushered in a variety of novel theological approaches that sought to move beyond traditional presentations of doctrine to examine anew the rational and historical basis of religious faith. It also met with strong opposition from preachers and theologians, who rejected the accommodation with Enlightenment rationalism, defended the inescapably supernatural character of Christian revelation, and sought to reimagine the relation of Christian communities to the state and its civil and educational institutions. This chapter presents an inquiry into this opposition to theological rationalism, which proceeds in three parts. It explores: (1) the early-nineteenth-century opposition of rationalism and supernaturalism; (2) the beginnings of the German religious Awakening; and (3) the increasingly social and political expression of these anti-rationalist theological tendencies

Corpus of News on the Web data for January 2023.
The TAR folder contains linguistic data in three formats: Database: This is the format allows for the most robust searches and allows for powerful JOINs across corpus, lexicon, and source tables but requires knowledge of SQL. See Full-text corpus data for more information on how to use the database format. Linear Text: This format provides a textID for each text, and then the entire text on the same line. In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can\u27t are separated into two parts (ca n\u27t) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her). Word, Lemma, Part of Speech: Texts are separated by a line with ## and the textID
Climate Change in the American Mind and Implications for Climate Change Communication
Americans are changing their minds about climate change in a positive direction. While many Americans report pro-climate views and support several climate policies, national action on climate change remains a challenge. This presentation will cover U.S. public opinion about climate change, and challenges and opportunities for communicating with the public to promote more engagement and collective action on the climate.
