“It felt like my son had died”: zero tolerance and the trauma of family separation
Get PDFScholars have identified how immigration deterrence measures that authorize family separations impact minors who enter without authorization. Less attention, however, has been placed on how these measures impact mixed legal status families. Few explore the hurdles of deportees and U.S. citizens - especially those of indigenous descent - who join parents abroad and difficulties they face upon return. This article reveals this gap and provides findings from ethnographic research on the circumstances that led to the family separation and foster care placement of David, an indigenous Maya U.S. citizen minor. We utilize David’s story to illustrate the harm caused by the U.S. government\u27s implementation of the Zero Tolerance policy toward migrant families. Specifically, we argue how immigration deterrence policies normalize the systemic neglect of U.S. citizen minors who are placed in foster care, which can create barriers to health and education services, and prolong the trauma of family separation
Torus Knot (3,1) Australian Red Coolibah Burl Cap
No full textThe burl cap was rather large and heavy, so I am cutting it into smaller pieces for carving separate sculptures. I made one into a (3,1) torus knot, and another into a (3,5) torus knot. Both are about 4.25 in diameter and 1.25 thick. A burl has very interesting grain, as well as intrusions, which show in these as dark cracks and black sections.

Small twist (3 x1.5 ) Australian Red Coolibah Burl Cap
No full textTwo small ``twists made from leftover pieces of the Australian Red Coolibah Burl. The smaller one is just 3 tall and about 1.5 in diameter at the base. Its top does not have the three points at equal height, which gives it the look of a fox face. Image 1 of 2https://orb.binghamton.edu/mathematical_sculptures/1608/thumbnail.jp

The Different Flavors of Research Impact: A Tasting of Traditional and Alternative Bibliometric Assessment Tools
Get PDFThis workshop introduces researchers to a variety of traditional and alternative bibliometric assessment tools. These metric tools are each defined and their potential uses, abuses, benefits, and drawbacks discussed. Researchers are then shown how to effectively utilize these metric tools to best fit their personal research needs and assess their research impact
Child Labor, Compulsory Education, and the Women\u27s Movement
Get PDFThis paper explores the connection between child labor, compulsory public education, and the women’s movement of the twentieth century. Child labor was a widespread issue within the United States beginning with the Industrial Revolution. In an effort to protect children the women’s movement of the twentieth century added the issue of child welfare to their platform. In order to overcome the obstacles of child labor laws being struck down, the solution ended up being compulsory public education. Although children were kept out of the factories, this paper argues that the public-school system really just prepares children to be a loyal and obedient workforce. There is an irony in that the very system put in place to take children out of the workforce just ends up preparing them to enter it in the future
My Antonia: A Retrospective on an Immigrant Narrative
Get PDFBeginning with the early days of American literature, this work explores where the immigrant narrative has existed, and what said narrative may look like. When reading immigrant literature, there are typically three or four themes that present themselves among the immigrant characters and their community. Those themes are: a feeling of nostalgia towards, or affinity to the culture and of the immigrant’s home country, the theme of inclusion or exclusion by the larger society in the new country, and the theme of resilience, that is, how immigrants overcome adversities and bounce back challenge after challenge. A novel in particular where these themes present themselves is in Willa Cather’s, My Ántonia. Although this is a novel that has those aforementioned themes in it, what makes it uniquely “immigrant,” is also the attitudes and responses among the community to the arrival of the Bohemians. Those attitudes are something that nearly all immigrants become familiar with. With that being said, there is a duality in the immigrant narrative, where not only is there exposure of specific themes that make it that narrative, but also a response among the townspeople in this case, that reflect an immigrant experience
