No full textResearch Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) sites widely serve as the first major research gateway for undergraduates seeking a structured research experience. Given their lack of prior research skills, and the highly compressed duration of the REU programs, these students frequently encounter barriers to a seamless transition into a new laboratory environment. We hypothesized that the design of a unified short course on laboratory and analysis techniques could serve as a pivotal orientation experience. Our goal was to rapidly align student expertise to their summer research goals while also integrating the student participants into a cohesive learning community. This article discusses the design and outcomes of a Cellular Bioengineering Boot Camp, which is offered at the outset of the 10-week REU site at Rutgers. The Boot Camp provides hands-on, supervised training for techniques and procedures that are common among projects. The training establishes a common language and baseline for the REU students and allows their first laboratory experiences to be with each other, and creates an immediate network of peers and mentors. Surveys before and after the Boot Camp and at the end of the summer indicated a significant improvement in student proficiency in the techniques that was retained throughout the summer. We believe that the Boot Camp approach can be tailored to the specifics of each REU site and its associated projects and research foci.Peer reviewe
Gender and technology in the East Midlands boot and shoe industry : 1850-1911
No full textMany scholars now consider that gender is an important category in historical study,
but unfortunately many do not practice what they preach. Feminists have recognised
for some time the importance of some form of historical analysis to feminism, or at
least what Judith Allen calls 'a historically grounded feminism'. The protagonists in
the debate disagree considerably, however, over the methodology which feminist
historians should adopt. The various positions taken up have led to a schism between
those who believe the feminist challenge to mainstream, or what Elizabeth Fox-
Genovese calls 'official' history, should be mounted from within the discipline of
history or from outside it. Judith Allen claims that the work which has been done in
women's history to date serves to raise considerable doubt that accepting the
discipline of history as presently constituted is a viable option for feminism. She sees
the phallocentric characteristics of history as an obstacle to feminists using history.
Allen feels that 'no less than Marxism, feminism is opposed by professional historians
as an ahistorical grid of abstraction and prescription, threatening the integrity of the
historical evidence.
Objects of Beauty
No full text‘Objects of Beauty’, part artist’s book and part retrospective monograph, is an illustrated volume of reflections on the common points of departure and interrelationships between different bodies of practice-based research over a period of years. These points of departure include the artist’s developing relationship with different ideas concerning gender and race, dark secrets and unfulfilled desires. This has been particularly key to the development of the practice in recent years when geographic borders between countries and continents are being increasingly dissolving or contested.
As one of the artist’s critics has observed of her creative practice “What is foreign, who is other and from whose perspective?” Eleven photographic series are considered. Many of them came about through commission, were developed through artist residencies and many are represented in national and international collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum and Yale University. Of the eleven, ‘Language of Flowers’ was first exhibited in 2004 (Zelda Cheatle Gallery), ‘Celebrity Blonde’ was commissioned by Flypitch and first exhibited at Flypitch in 2003, ‘Cinderella Tours Europe’ was commissioned by the Organisation for Visual Arts and exhibited at Pitshanger Manor Gallery in 2001, ‘The Handbag Project’ was first exhibited at Zelda Cheatle Gallery in 2001, and ‘Girl Thing’ was first exhibited at The British Council, Colombo in 2001. The book takes each of the photographic series in turn and introduces them with a commentary which looks back on its evolution of the work and the core ideas that informed it. The book also carries Rohini Malik Okon’s interview with the artist. The extent to which different series have been in dialogue with each other, have been informed by background research in the libraries and archives, have involved a process of collecting objects to feature metaphorically within the images is drawn out in the text
Lessons Learned from NSF I-Corps Boot Camp
No full textAudience Response System, (ARS), has proven its values as a tool to enhance students' engagement and participation in the classroom. Since 2011, the author was working on to creating a web based application, Click2Text, to incorporate cell phones and smart phones in traditional and online classes to replace ARS. Several web-based solutions were tested and launched, however, it was hard to convince fellow faculty members for its adoption. It is also a known fact that most academic researchers in universities and college have little or no previous knowledge of entrepreneurial process nor do they possess the entrepreneurial mindset and related skills. So, when in the winter of 2016, the author was presented with an opportunity to participated in the NSF I-Corps introduction to customer discovery course, boot camp at Wayne State University, it was seen as a great opportunity to learn entrepreneurial process and skill. This paper documents how I-Corps boot camp helped in refining author’s research on Click2Text by identifying right customer segments and their needs and using them to create feature list that will eventually contribute to popularizing Click2Text within the university. The study also document lessons learned that would help new and young academic researchers making the intelligent decision of choosing to participate in I-Corps activities and how to get the most benefit of the boot camp.
