Defending the Status Quo or Protecting Community Interests? Brenda Mitchell and the United Teachers of New Orleans
Full text linkOn August 29th, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans, Louisiana. The storm devastated the city, leaving the education system in total disrepair. As the city started to rebuild, different groups debated the best way to revive the previously failing public school system. The Louisiana state government, federal government, and Orleans Parish School Board advocated for a complete overhaul of the New Orleans public school system to an all-charter system. At the same time, Brenda Mitchell, president of the United Teachers of New Orleans, defended her union of educators and staff members in the wake of the storm. With education reforms imminent and few supporting her, Mitchell represented the union amidst calls for drasticchanges to the school system that could largely eliminate UTNO’s influence. Ultimately, Mitchell had to decide between fighting to preserve a system that historically benefitted her organization or adapting her organization’s mission to comply with demands for change
Painting, Pots, and Burials: An Analysis of Pre-Roman Women in Southern Italy
Full text linkResearch on gender in Ancient Rome has been well underway in the past couple of decades and has revealed the rigidity of gender roles and the limitations placed on women through the Republic into the Empire. On the other hand, research on women in pre-Roman societies has been limited. Considering the early cultural interactions between Roman and non-Roman populations in the Italian peninsula, it is not a given that gender roles were the same across the region. Through an analysis of different kinds of material culture — particularly ceramics and grave goods — it is apparent that the social mobility of women in the regions of Campania and Apulia was more flexible than in Ancient Rome. Women were able to build their own status and wealth through ritual banquets and familial associations, pointing to a slightly more egalitarian society than previously believed. This research paper aims to highlight pre-Roman women of Southern Italy in order to open the doors for more discussion and research on these oft-overlooked figures of ancient society
“My Posts Do Not Necessarily Represent Those with Whom I am Affiliated. Obvious, Right?” Dr. Tara Gustilo vs. Hennepin Healthcare System: Free Speech as a Public Employee
Full text linkObstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Tara Gustilo led her department at Hennepin Healthcare System (HHS) for five years. Like many Americans in 2020, she engaged in the civic dialogue on police brutality and racial discrimination that seized the Internet after George Floyd’s murder. In her case, however, posting on Facebook sparked a series of charged conversations and department- wide frustrations. For HHS leaders, Gustilo’s reputation as a stellar physician and leader conflicted with the organization’s interest in protecting a non-hostile working environment. The hospital leadership faced a dilemma: should HHS honor employee requests to remove Gustilo as Department Chair or protect the lead’s position considering her impressive achievements during her tenure? This case highlights the complexities of protecting workplace integrity without infringing on free speech rights
