Abstract
Sharon Bryan Reads "Breaking and Entering" from "Objects of Affection" (0:35). Stan Saville Rubin interviews Sharon Bryan. Bryan was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and educated at the University of Utah where she studied philosophy, Cornell University where she received an MA in anthropology, and The University of Iowa Writers Workshop where she earned her MFA. She's the author of two collections of poetry, "Salt Air" published in 1983, and "Objects of Affection" published in 1987 by Wesleyan University Press. She has received awards including The Academy of American Poets Prize, the Discovery the Nation Award, and the Governor's Award from the State of Washington, and has held NEA fellowships. At the time of filming Bryan is a Professor of English at the Memphis State University and editor of the literary magazine River City. Stan opens the conversation with an invitation to discuss the origin and nature of the opening poem. Bryan outlines the story and the influences that aided her creation of the poem. Expanding further into the content of "Objects of Affection", they discuss the heavy handed artistic and literary influences that are found in a number of the collected poems. Bryan talks about why the unaddressed epitaph is at the beginning of "Objects of Affection" and what informed her decision to put it there. Stan asks her about the careful organization of the collection but Bryan reveals that the organization wasn't as deeply considered as it appears. They talk about the style of her poems and how she tends not to use prose. Stan moves the conversation to "Salt Air" which was written 6 years after leaving Iowa. Bryan talks about how so much of her life was leaving behind Salt Lake. Bryan reads "Viewing the Body" "from Salt Air" (16:08). Bryan speaks on when she first knew she wanted to write and how she meandered through her education because, as far as she was aware, creative writing as an occupation wasn't available until she had arrived at Cornell and then why she chose to go to the Iowa Writers Workshop. Stan asks Bryan to speak at length about her role as Editor of the River City literary magazine and how she looks at poetry through that editor's lens. They discuss the social significance of poetry and address critiques about poetry's place for speaking on difficult issues of the time. Bryan talks about the major influences on her writing and her push to publish her poetry for public consumption and how she found out her first collection was going to be printed. Bryan reads "Theory" from her upcoming collection of poems "Flying Blind: Poems" (38:27) and "Trimmings" also from "Flying Blind: Poems" (39:47).Archived web conten

Bryan Caplan on the Case Against Education
No full textBryan Caplan is a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center and a professor of economics at George Mason University. Bryan joins Policy@McCombs to discuss his recent book, The Case Against Education. This initiative is a joint effort between scholars in order to test the importance and factors of entrepreneurial success. Professor William Fuchs (Finance) is working on a number of projects trying to understand the impact of access to credit on the formation of new business. Salem Center support will help the creation of randomized controlled trials to help : (1) evaluate the importance of complementarities between credit and business training and (2) provide a better understanding of the determinants of entrepreneurial success. The first wave of experiments is underway in Bolivia in partnership with the Banco para el Desarrollo Productivo (BDP).Salem Cente
Oral history interview with Bryan Bell
No full textAbstract provided by interviewer Drew Bell.
Bryan Bell attended Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas from 1992-1996 and received a B.S. Biology degree from the university. As a Church of Christ-affiliated private college, ACU was and still is known for providing a world-class Christ-centered education, and it has never wavered from this commitment. In this interview, Bryan provides insight into his experiences as a student, as well as the gender expectations and norms of the day, including dormitory regulations, expectations for dating and marriage, the dress code, and how these expectations were enforced. Bryan also talks about how discussions about gender and sexuality differ today versus the time when he was attending, and what ACU can do to better adjust for these changes. He explains the different roles men and women played in chapel, in classes, and in the local church congregations. He talks about what Christians can do to be more welcoming to members of the LGBTQ community, and how ACU can continue to love them and care for them, as well as offer the same world class education everyone else is expected to receive
Employment and housing problems of migratory workers in New York and New Jersey canning industries, 1943
No full textBased on a survey conducted by Helen Bryan Sater and Caroline Manning, this report presents issues involving the employment and housing of migrant laborers in the New York and New Jersey canning industries (especially the tomato-canning industry in producing food for armed services) during World War II. The issues discussed include false promises to migrant workers concerning wages, available facilities and housing costs. Another issue discussed is the low standard of living and working conditions that government agencies uphold for migrant laborers. At this time there was an influx of African American and West Indian migrants to the area to occupy positions within the canning industry. Also, a great number of laborers were women and children. Polish, Italian, and white migrants from the South are also mentioned as significant populations within the industry. This report was issued by the United States Women's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor in 1943
Commencement 2019 Bryan Stevenson | Honorary Degree Recipient
No full textAt RISD’s Commencement ceremony on Saturday, June 1, keynote speaker Bryan Stevenson urged the Class of 2019 to “resist the politics of fear and anger” with the hope and power their creativity brings to the world. “When we do this we begin to create a different culture, a new kind of future,” the Equal Justice Initiative founder pointed out, calling on RISD’s newest alumni to invest their talents in creating more just societies. In addressing the 486 bachelor’s degree and 214 master’s degree recipients at the Rhode Island Convention Center, the acclaimed public interest lawyer emphasized the importance of “getting proximate” to individuals and communities in need. By listening to and learning from marginalized and oppressed people, Stevenson said, artists and designers are uniquely positioned to “at a bare minimum… affirm their humanity—and this can change the world. I believe in liberation—that there\u27s something better waiting for us, he continued. Stay hopeful. Our hope is our superpower

Gold nanoparticle dimers for SERS-based targeted detection of human glioblastoma cells
No full textGold nanospheres are linked by a Raman active dithiolated linker molecule forming dimer and trimer assemblies. These nanoparticles are capped with polyethylene glycol for stability and functionalized with peptides for glioblastoma cell targeting and penetration. Results show stability in vitro and cellular uptake of the nanoparticles. After endocytosis, a surface enhanced Raman scattering signal from the nanoparticles can be detected from inside the cells. Such a nanoparticle systems sets the ground work for developing versatile Raman-based tools designed for a range of biomedical applications.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Bryan Paladin
