Interview with Andrew Anastasia, Class of 2006
No full textOral history interview with Dr. Andrew Anastasia, Class of 2006. The interview was conducted on July 12, 2023 by Rexton Jones, then a student employee at Milner Library.
Anastasia reflects on his upbringing in the southern suburbs of Chicagoland. He characterizes his hometown as being fraught with racial tensions and toxic white supremacy dynamics. Anastasia shares his early passion for music, which initially led him to pursue a degree in music performance and conducting. Anastasia auditioned at several Illinois universities, and although ISU wasn\u27t his first choice, he acknowledges the pivotal role it would come to play in shaping his academic and personal journey.
As a student, Anastasia was a member of marching band, PRIDE, and Women\u27s Coalition (later renamed Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, now FLAME; Feminist-Led Activist Movement to Empower). He recounts organizing an event called Rush to the Left with author David Foster Wallace, as well as iterations of Take Back the Night and the Clotheslines Project. Anastasia also highlights the support he received from faculty and staff like Mark Vegter, Barb Dallinger, Tom Gerschick, and Alison Bailey, who encouraged him to persist in his studies despite setbacks.
Between his parents’ divorce, mother’s declining mental health, and own struggles with gender and sexuality, Anastasia had difficulty maintaining his grades and failed out of school twice. After leaving ISU in 1998 he took a job at an agency that provided support for clients with developmental disabilities. Anastasia also worked as a 911 dispatcher for McLean Count for a time and volunteered with local organizations such as The Baby Fold.
Anastasia eventually returned to higher education at Heartland Community College. There, a faculty member encouraged him to finish his bachelor’s degree at ISU after earning his associate’s at HCC. Anastasia wrote an appeals letter and was readmitted. During this final stint at the university he participated in multiple student research exhibitions and had his senior capstone project profiled in Newsweek magazine.
After graduation Anastasia elected to pursue a master’s degree and PhD in English at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. Initially drawn to transgender studies and queer theory, Anastasia\u27s focus shifted to teaching once he discovered a passion for it due to his graduate assistantship. His research interests encompass trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and their impact on learning in composition studies.https://ir.library.illinoisstate.edu/aoh/1056/thumbnail.jp

Perioperative Goal-Setting Consultations by Surgical Colleagues: A New Model for Supporting Patients, Families, and Surgeons in Shared Decision Making
No full textPatients with postoperative complications are often subjected to prolonged life-sustaining treatment based on erroneous assumptions about their goals of care. Shared decision making is an evidence-based approach that helps ensure patients’ wishes and values are honored in their course of treatment. Perioperative palliative care can help create goal-concordant trajectories of care for high risk, seriously ill, or complicated patients, through sophisticated prognostication, higher-level communication, and recommendations based on the best available evidence and patients’ stated goals and priorities. Here, we present a surgeon-to-surgeon consultative model that surmounts many barriers to perioperative palliative care consultation and, as illustrated in the cases presented herein, offers profound and unique benefits for patients, families, and surgeons alike. While the support of a surgical colleague with palliative care skills can be helpful postoperatively in the setting of unanticipated outcomes or prolonged recovery, it is particularly beneficial when accessed preoperatively for the purposes of goal-concordant decision making and advance care planning. We encourage both individuals and professional societies to develop and expand the niche for surgeons interested in assisting with goal setting and shared decision making for patients on a consultative basis, particularly in the preoperative period

The Prose of Anastasia I. Tsvetaeva: Autobiographical Mythmaking
No full textAnastasia Tsvetayeva’s literary work can be largely defined as autobiographical. Her first pen probe, “Royal reflections,” is a philosophical essay where the author represents herself as a “theomachist” and the debunker of all moral values. Later, Tsvetaeva ventured into the genre of autobiographical novel, yet her novel may be called “autobiographical” only with some reservations. On the one hand, this work reflects real facts of the author’s life. On the other, the narrator, at some points, deliberately departs from truth, obscures and alters the facts, pursuing specific aims. The elements of autobiographical mythmak- ing may be found in the Memoirs of Anastasia Tsvetayeva that would be worthwhile to compare with the autobiographical prose of her elder sister Marina
"Making the dignity of our labor a reality": household workers organizing in New York City, 1960-1980
No full textThis thesis investigates the local movement of household workers in New York from 1960-1980. Adding to labor and feminist histories that challenge the notion of domestic workers as “unorganizable,” this thesis provides an account of the Household Technicians of New York, an organization created and run by working-class Black women in New York. These women fought to gain decent pay and benefits for their labor, and dignity and respect as household workers. With the use of meeting notes, recordings, correspondences, and publications, as well as secondary sources, this thesis examines the vision of the Household Technicians of New York, within the context of the larger national movement of household workers in the 1960s and 1970s. This study pays particular attention to tensions within the movement of household workers and to the efforts to find allies, two topics which have yet to be fully explored in previous scholarly literature on domestic worker organizing. This thesis finds that the Household Technicians of New York saw an alliance with women’s movement, largely middle class white women, as central to redefining household work. At the same time, the larger women’s movement was trying to find ways to get women out of the household all together. Rather than focus on the civil rights movement or labor movement, household workers made a strategic choice to focus on the women’s movement. Through this alliance, they hoped to create a coalition of household workers and employers. While the women’s movement did have brief moments when it worked with household workers, ultimately, white feminists were unable to see Black household workers as a part of their vision for liberation.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Anastasia Hardi

CLIMATE POLICIES AND ADAPTATION MEASURES FOR ALPINE HERITAGE
No full textClimate change represents a significant challenge to the preservation of architectural
heritage; however, the development of pragmatic methodologies for safeguarding
architectural heritage in at-risk areas remains under-investigated. This research
assesses the impact of climate change on Alpine architectural heritage and identifies
practical measures for adaptation. Key research questions include:
1. How is climate change impacting the Alpine region?
2. Are climate policies currently being implemented at the regional level to
mitigate these impacts?
3. Do regional and national climate change adaptation and mitigation plans
adequately address the needs of architectural heritage?
4. What are the primary effects of climate change on Alpine architectural
heritage?
5. What practical measures can protect Alpine heritage to support adaptation
to changing environmental conditions?
The investigation is based on a bibliographic review of key sources and an analysis
of international and national policies, with a particular focus on the Italian context,
highlighting overlapping strategies across various levels and stakeholders. These
overlaps pose challenges to developing a comprehensive protection framework for
the protection of alpine heritage. The study proposes a coordinated strategy spanning
provincial and national levels that corresponds to the architectural scale. The
findings aim to guide future research and decision-making, providing actionable
strategies towards heritage adaptation
Lo stigma dei reietti sull'istituzione penitenziaria
No full textPrison as an institution is the center of Valeria Verdolini's The Rejected Institution (2022), which is commented on in this article. An important contribution that explores issues that the prison literature has never dug as much as necessary. The author, sharing and appreciating Verdolini's effort, recommends preserving the heuristic capacity of the comprehensive notion of "total institution", proposed at the time by E. Goffman, and further investigating the passive form of the adjective associated by Verdolini to penitentiary institution: if it is "rejected", it means that it has been rejected, by an external agent, who is responsible for the stigma that from the inmate population pours itself on the institution that look after it
L'uso populista del diritto e della giustizia penale
No full textThe penal populism is always most frequently mentioned in the analysis of criminalization
processes and political consensus dynamics. Starting from the most widespread
interpretations of contemporary populist phenomena, the article proposes a redefinition
of penal populism and an interpretative grid of the various populist uses of criminal law
and justice. In this way it is possible to widen the field of observation of the populist use
of criminal law and justice beyond that of populist leaders and movements and to see
the contribution that other political and institutional subjects also give it. Considering
that the populist use of criminal law and justice puts at risk the fundamental principles
of liberal criminal law, the author stresses the need for an ecological change that simultaneously
frees politics from populist use of criminal law and criminal justice from the
political aim of seeking consensus
