Full text linkResistance and Empowerment against Racism’s Association with Latinx Adults’ Body Appreciation.
Full text linkResearch on body image and racism has largely focused on how Latinx adults’ experiences of racism are associated with negative body image outcomes. However, research has not yet examined how resistance and empowerment against racism shapes body appreciation among Latinx adults. To address these gaps, the present study examined how resistance and empowerment against racism is associated with body appreciation among Latinx adults, as well as the mediating role of ethnic identity search and commitment. An online cross-sectional survey containing the study’s measures of interest were administered to participants. The final sample consisted of 223 Latinx adults. A regression analysis controlling for age and educational attainment showed that resistance and empowerment against racism was positively associated with body appreciation. Ethnic identity search and commitment did not mediate this association. These results suggest that resistance and empowerment against racism plays a role in shaping body appreciation among Latinx adults. Practitioners and interventionists may thus consider utilizing a strengths-based approach that incorporates resistance and empowerment against racism when working with Latinx adults in relation to body image
Coordinating the Energetic Strategy of Glia and Neurons for Memory
No full textMemory consolidation requires rapid energy supply to neurons. In a recent study, Francés et al revealed the signal by which a neuron commands glia to limit fatty acid synthesis in favor of metabolite export during memory formation in Drosophila melanogaster. This mechanism coordinates just-in-time glial energy delivery in response to dynamic neuronal needs
On Certainty and Doubt: Islam and the Speculative Turn in Film and Media Historiography
No full textThrough an examination of the Muslim call to prayer opening Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust (1991), this article examines epistemological questions concerning certainty and doubt generated by the speculative turn in Black feminist film and media historiography. Because of the deferred structure of Qur’ānic revelation, as well as the tradition of reporting and transcribing the sayings and doings of the Prophet Muhammad, Islam has a vantage on the notion of testimony that is helpful in understanding the kinds of faith necessitated by the imaginative reconstructions integral to Black feminist film history and the modes of critical utterance animating Black feminist historiography. But generative points of tension arise when discussing Islamic scripture in conjunction with Black feminist film historiography, the article argues, particularly because of the role that certainty plays within the Qur’ānic tropology of belief. Those constraints shed light on the limits of faith within Black feminist historiography itself, as well as the conspicuous absence of the secular criticism debates within film and media studies

Full text linkSexual Racism and Queer Asian American Men’s Depression and Hazardous Drinking
Full text linkWhile research suggests that sexual racism is prevalent within the gay community, studies have neglected to examine how this specific manifestation of racism influences queer Asian American men’s mental health. Queer Asian American men’s health outcomes are often overlooked as racism-related studies tend to homogenize queer Asian American men with queer men of color broadly. Thus, the present study examined the association between sexual racism and queer Asian American men’s depressive symptomatology and hazardous drinking, as well as the moderating role of collective racial self-esteem. The final sample consisted of 151 queer Asian American men who completed a 30-minute cross-sectional survey. Regression analyses indicated that sexual racism was positively associated with depressive symptomatology, whereas it was not associated with hazardous drinking. Additionally, collective racial self-esteem was not found to have a moderating effect. These findings underscore the necessity of racial justice-promoting interventions to minimize queer Asian American men’s experience of sexual racism in gay communities. Results also highlight the importance of developing culturally congruent training for clinicians working with queer Asian American men to gain an understanding of how sexual racism impacts this population
