Maxine Crawley and Linda Patton
No full textThis 1963 photograph shows Maxine Crawley and Linda Patton winning the Delta Airlines Award trophy at the Mountain Youth Jamboree. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University
Semilinear clannish algebras
No full textBennett-Tennenhaus R, Crawley-Boevey WW. Semilinear clannish algebras. Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society . 2024;129(4): e12637.We define a class of associative algebras generalizing 'clannish algebras', as introduced by the second author, but also incorporating semilinear structure, like a skew polynomial ring. Clannish algebras generalize the well-known 'string algebras' introduced by Butler and Ringel. Our main result is the classification of finite-dimensional indecomposable modules for these new algebras
‘On the brink’ or ‘designing the future’? Where next for Lifelong Learning Initial Teacher Education?
No full textThis article highlights and analyses the challenges immediately facing Lifelong Learning Initial Teacher Education (LL ITE) in the UK which have arisen as a result of the policies and actions of the UK Government. The context of the LL sector for teachers and teacher education is explored, and how this has led to a restrictive culture of teacher professionalism. Using research carried out by the author, the article profiles LL Teacher Educators, their working context and values, and their attempts to model a more expansive professionalism. Evidence of the recent achievements of LL ITE is analysed and the dangers to these achievements presented by recent government changes and proposals are highlighted. The article concludes that LL ITE is ‘on the brink’ in terms of survival, and proposes how LL Teacher Education can move forward into a more optimistic future
A New Approach to Simple Modules for Preprojective Algebras
No full textCrawley-Boevey WW, Hubery A. A New Approach to Simple Modules for Preprojective Algebras. ALGEBRAS AND REPRESENTATION THEORY. 2020;23(4):1849-1860.The work of the first author on the moment map for representations of quivers included a classification of the possible dimension vectors of simple modules for deformed preprojective algebras. That classification was later used to solve an additive analogue of the Deligne-Simpson problem. The last step in the proof of the classification involved some general position arguments; here we give a new approach which avoids such arguments

Introduction
No full textCopyright © 2020 The Author(s). This chapter provides a detailed contextualising for the book, situating the collection in a broad theoretical and historical framework. It references the meetings that brought together experts in dance and visual arts, which led to the book. The discussion outlines the two main themes in the book that are explored by the writers—the subjective, lived relations with objects and the social sphere, and the different approaches to absence, visibility and resistance. Drawing on diverse theories and viewpoints, the introduction outlines each chapter, describing how the writers open up new thinking about dance and visual art, and the connections between each discipline’s discourses and practices
If I Knew Then What I Do Now: Fostering Pre-Service Teachers’ Capacity to Promote Expansive and Critical Conversations with Children’s Literature
No full textIn this article, I reflect on my practices as a teacher educator and respond to the following questions: How do I foster the capacity of pre-service teachers to use children’s literature to promote expansive and critical conversations in the classroom? How do pre-service teachers report their stances and sense of preparedness when reflecting on the course? To address these questions, I share two strategies I employed in my undergraduate course for elementary education majors: 1) emphasizing children\u27s literature as windows and mirrors and 2) considering stakeholder responses. For each strategy, I include preservice teachers’ (PTs’) statements that reflect how the strategy impacted their stances about children’s literature and preparedness to use it in the classroom to foster expansive and critical conversations that are relevant and responsive to students’ diverse lives
Identification of autophosphorylation sites in eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase
No full texteEF2K [eEF2 (eukaryotic elongation factor 2) kinase] phosphorylates and inactivates the translation elongation factor eEF2. eEF2K is not a member of the main eukaryotic protein kinase superfamily, but instead belongs to a small group of so-called ?-kinases. The activity of eEF2K is normally dependent upon Ca2+ and calmodulin. eEF2K has previously been shown to undergo autophosphorylation, the stoichiometry of which suggested the existence of multiple sites. In the present study we have identified several autophosphorylation sites, including Thr348, Thr353, Ser366 and Ser445, all of which are highly conserved among vertebrate eEF2Ks. We also identified a number of other sites, including Ser78, a known site of phosphorylation, and others, some of which are less well conserved. None of the sites lies in the catalytic domain, but three affect eEF2K activity. Mutation of Ser78, Thr348 and Ser366 to a non-phosphorylatable alanine residue decreased eEF2K activity. Phosphorylation of Thr348 was detected by immunoblotting after transfecting wild-type eEF2K into HEK (human embryonic kidney)-293 cells, but not after transfection with a kinase-inactive construct, confirming that this is indeed a site of autophosphorylation. Thr348 appears to be constitutively autophosphorylated in vitro. Interestingly, other recent data suggest that the corresponding residue in other ?-kinases is also autophosphorylated and contributes to the activation of these enzymes [Crawley, Gharaei, Ye, Yang, Raveh, London, Schueler-Furman, Jia and Cote (2011) J. Biol. Chem. 286, 2607-2616]. Ser366 phosphorylation was also detected in intact cells, but was still observed in the kinase-inactive construct, demonstrating that this site is phosphorylated not only autocatalytically but also in trans by other kinases
International Development Education
No full textGlobal warming, terrorism, and nuclear proliferation are perhaps three of the most daunting security challenges being faced by the United States today. How to meet these threats is the subject of endless political debate in our society, yet too often the root causes of these threats are overlooked. While the Western world is certainly responsible for the majority of emissions that contribute to global warming, it will not be long until developing nations, led by industrial powers such as China, begin to take on a more significant role in contributing to this problem. Similarly, it is these same developing nations that are most at risk from the effects that continued global warming promises to bring about. It is these poor and underdeveloped nations of the world, whose citizens are forced to live a life of squalor, that become breeding grounds for political extremists and terrorists. Clearly, it should be the policy of the developed nations of the world to intervene more aggressively in order to fulfill both the moral obligation of eliminating poverty and the political obligation of creating a more stable political landscape across the board. My project is focused on education regarding international development work. Our society as a whole is painfully unaware of the conditions in developing nations, and lacks an understanding of how those conditions affect our everyday lives. More emphasis must be placed on educating our students as to how the actions of our nation affect the lives of those abroad, and vice versa. Understanding these conditions can help to foster the political will desperately needed in order to bring about lasting improvements in the impoverished nations of Africa, South America, and Asia. My research has focused, in particular, on development education in high school curricula. By researching development education programs already in existence, interviewing educators, and surveying hundreds of high school students from throughout Rhode Island, I have attempted, through this project, to gain an understanding of the level of knowledge high school students possess about global issues and to find ways to further improve their understanding. Since bringing about change in the field international development requires both education and action, I have also planned a fundraiser, the proceeds of which will be donated to Partners in Health, a non-profit based in Boston, MA that partners with poor communities to develop the tools to combat disease and poverty. Through a combination of education and action, conditions in poor nations can slowly be improved, ultimately benefiting all aspects of our global community
