Feminist Mothering and the Needs-Focus Approach of Writing Centers: A Literature Review
Get PDFWithin academia, English fields have developed a reputation for being less professional or academically rigid compared to STEM. This undervaluation of English studies, particularly Writing Center work, poses many issues to the people who pursue these careers, specifically harming the women who decide to take these jobs. Typically, English fields are viewed as being nurturing and caring in a way that is deemed less respectable and coddling towards students. Thus, spaces like Writing Centers are branded as “domestic spaces” housing undesirable, feminine traits. As a result of these negative attitudes, this “women’s work” is judged as poorer in quality. According to statistics from 2022, 67.3% of Writing Center tutors are women (“Writing Center”, 2022), follwing the trend of a majority of English studies members also being female (Kugler, et al., 2021). Thus, these negative attitudes can cause issues to the women involved in this field. However, Writing Center research challenges these perceptions through theories such as feminist mothering. Rather than dismissing the feminine qualities of Writing Center work, we should strive to show the value of nurturing and caring for students in an academic setting in a manner that benefits everyone involved.https://collected.jcu.edu/celebration_2023/1008/thumbnail.jp

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha mediated regulation of mitochondrial function and homeostasis in normoxia
Get PDFDuring normal levels of oxygenation, also known as normoxia, the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 1α is produced and broken down in a continuous manner. Previous studies of HIF1α function(s) in hypoxia demonstrate restricted oxygen uptake and decreased protein synthesis but data regarding this transcription factor in normoxia is limited. We determined the functional aspects of HIF1α in normoxia in differentiated myotubes and with transgenic mice. Higher expression of sirtuin 3 along with higher concentrations of many TCA cycle intermediates were identified in multiple studies. Additionally, phenotypic and morphological implications of HIF1α in normoxia were identified.https://collected.jcu.edu/celebration_2023/1003/thumbnail.jp
U.S. Geography and Its Impact on Public Perception of Climate Change: An analysis of the role of geography, partisanship, and media on American public sentiment.
Get PDFPerception of climate change is often considered an issue of partisanship in America despite the scientific literature stating its factual reality. While the public sentiment reflects both people in favor of climate change policies and others in climate change denial, the geographical landscape of America contributes to the public perception surrounding climate change. Within America’s various regions, Southern and Midwestern areas face the greatest immediate climate- hardships while Northern and Western areas may begin to reap benefits initially. But regardless of region, vulnerable communities are the most at risk of climate-hardships. In order for America to approach climate change in a just way moving forward, it is significant to assess the role that partisanship, geography, media, and elitism play in forming the public sentiment surrounding climate change
