The Face of Water: New and Selected Poems
No full textMcCallum’s poems reflect her rooting in a Jamaican experience unique for her childhood in a Rastafarian home filled with reckless idealism, the potential for profound emotional pathology, and the grounding of old folks traditions. Her work has explored what it means to emerge from such a space and enter a new world of American landscapes and values. The Face of Water collects some of Shara Mccallum’s best poems, poems that establish her as a poet of deft craft (and craftiness), whose sense of music is caught in her mastery of syntax and her ear for the graceful line. She manages in these poems to enact the grand alchemy of the best poems—the art of transforming the most painful and sometimes mundane details of life into works of terrible and satisfying beauty. McCallum demonstrates eloquently her debt to the poetics of the Caribbean and of North America, even as she establishes herself as a vital voice in the later tradition of poetry written in mutable language, English. As poet she feels no hesitation about turning that language into a very personal music. The Face of Water is an excellent introduction to the poetry of Shara McCallum, a vital and exciting poet of pure elegance.
From Jamaica, Shara McCallum is the author of This Strange Land, Song of Thieves, and The Water Between Us. She teaches and directs the Stadler Center for Poetry at Bucknell University.https://digitalcommons.bucknell.edu/books/1015/thumbnail.jp

We are All Donald Trump: Dis/entangling from the Us/Them Binary in Education
No full textIn this paper, the authors engage in an ethico-onto-epistemological imagining of dis/entanglement from the gridlock that the us/them binary and Cartesian subject created in education. They move instead towards relationality and response-ability and argue that it is helpful to imagine that we are all Donald Trump. In doing so, we are confronted by our own contributions to injustices in a post-truth era and can envision and act towards healing and flourishing relationships. Specifically, this helps us theorize how we might engage ethically with our secondary students and pre-service teachers with whom we may disagree politically
How Data Functions: Classroom Practices and School Policy
No full textThis symposium session is designed for educators and administrators to engage in an interactive dialogue exploring daily interactions between school policies on data and classroom practices. Beginning with the small group question, “What kinds of data does your school collect?”, the subsequent whole group conversation will move into different ways that data collection, as a school policy, intra-acts (Barad, 2007) in the classroom by considering the question “How does data function in your or your teachers’ classrooms?” Panelists will include various analytical tools in the discussion including neoliberalism (eg. Davies & Bansel, 2007; Klein, 2007; Nasir, et al, 2016) and becoming (Deleuze and Guattari, 1980/1987) in order to explore where we are in terms of data practices in schools, some factors contributing to how we got here and how we can move forward powerfully by introducing the concept of dis/entanglement.

Multivariate Optimizing Up and Down Design
No full textSuppose we are interested in finding the optimal dose of two drugs (for example, Tylenol and Aspirin), that is, we are interested in determining the dose combination that maximizes the probability of patients’ success. We assume responses are binary, either failure or success, and that the treatments to be used in the study are selected from a lattice of combination drugs. We extend the univariate Optimizing Up-and-Down Design of Kpamegan (2001), using ideas from stochastic approximation, in a way that the number of subjects at each stage is independent of the number of predictor variables (e.g. drugs).
