No full textThe Evolution and Censorship of Children\u27s Literature in the United States
No full textThis research examines the historical evolution of children\u27s literature, particularly picture books in early education, and the modern censorship affecting them. Drawing on historical sources and contemporary criticism, the first section explores thematic and cultural shifts in children\u27s literature from the 16th to the 20th century, analyzing how societal changes, religious influences, and educational trends have influenced storytelling. Children’s picture books have evolved in themes, illustrations, and narratives to both engage young readers and reflect or challenge societal beliefs. Research for the second section will utilize secondary research which investigates contemporary book bans within educational systems, focusing on the types of children\u27s literature facing restrictions. The research examines the reasoning behind these bans, including concerns over representation, language, and perceived appropriateness. The particular controversial categories are LGBTQ+, violence, religion, race, as well as gender. The research will also investigate the conflict of values that influence these bannings and restrictions within a pluralistic society. By analyzing banned books, this study highlights the societal and political forces shaping young readers’ access to literature. By tracing the development of children\u27s literature and its modern restrictions, this research provides insight into the forces shaping early childhood reading materials. Through studying the history of literature, readers can understand the forces that shape today’s children\u27s literature, raising critical questions about the future of children\u27s literature amid increasing censorship
When the Score Doesn\u27t Keep: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Blunted Interoception
No full textThe awareness of bodily sensation and urges has been increasingly referred to as interoception (Brewer et al., 2021a). Atypical interoceptive awareness has been linked to a variety of distinct diagnoses. There are reports of both blunted and heightened interoception in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (Mul et al., 2018), while heightened interoception has been reported among anxiety disorders (Domshke, 2009; Puigserver, 2024) and blunted interoception in Major Depressive Disorder (Eggart et al., 2019; Dunne et al., 2023), Alcohol Use Disorder (Weng et al., 2021), and others. Some research exists on the comorbidity of interoceptive difficulties with alexithymia (Mul et al., 2018, Puigserver, 2024), and atypical interoception as a risk factor for psychopathology more broadly (Brewer et al., 2021b). There has also been research on treatments that hone interoception, like yoga and mindfulness, as an intervention to cardiovascular disorders, substance abuse disorder, and mood disorders (Weng et al., 2021). Limited research exists at this time exploring interoceptive blunting as a conditioned response to childhood abuse or neglect, indicated in many psychological and physical pathologies. There could be a link between interoceptive challenges and maternal stress, for example, considering a study where pregnant women with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) gave a blunted cortisol response when startled (Carbone et al., 2023). This text proposes a study design to perform a statistical analysis comparing ACEs and interoceptive blunting using peer reviewed and replicated measures: the ACEs 10-item questionnaire and the Brief MAIA-2 (Rogowska, 2023)
