Chris Christiansen and the Chris Cross
No full textThe Chris Cross was the world's first crossed-grating interferometer, and was the brainchild of one of Australia's foremost radio astronomers, W.N. (Chris) Christiansen, from the CSIRO's Division of Radiophysics in Sydney. Inspired by the innovative and highly-successful E-W and N-S solar grating arrays that he constructed at Potts Hill (Sydney) in the early 1950s, Christiansen sited the Chris Cross at the Division’s Fleurs field station near Sydney, and from 1957 to 1988 it provided two-dimensional maps of solar radio emission at 1423 MHz.
In 1960 an 18m parabolic antenna was installed adjacent to the Chris Cross array, and when used with the Chris Cross formed the Southern Hemisphere's first high-resolution compound interferometer. A survey of discrete radio sources was carried out with this radio telescope.
The Division of Radiophysics handed the Fleurs field station over to the School of Engineering at the University of Sydney in 1963, and Christiansen and his colleagues from the Department of Electrical Engineering proceeded to develop the Chris Cross into the Fleurs Synthesis Telescope (FST) by adding six stand-alone 13.7m parabolic antennas. The FST was used for detailed studies of large radio galaxies, supernova remnants and emission nebu-lae.
The FST was closed down in 1988, and antennas in the original Chris Cross array quickly began to deteriorate. A number of individual antennas in the central part of the array received a new lease of life in 1991 when they were refurbished by staff and students from the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Western Sydney, but this only proved to be a temporary reprieve as even these aerials were bulldozed by the landowner in 2004, bringing to an untimely end one of the world's most remarkable radio telescopes

Manzanar camp map, "Manzanar, a photograph essay"
No full textA map of "Manzanar Relocation Center" reproduced from "Manzanar pilgrimage program" by hand by Chris S. Uyemura. The caption reads, "General plan of the W.R.A. Camp at Manzanar, California. Chris Uyemura Collection." A page from: Manzanar, a photograph essay (csudh_uye_0001).The Chris S. Uyemura Manzanar Photograph Collection consists of a pictorial essay, “Manzanar, a photographic essay,” and additional loose photos, which were compiled and collected by Chris S. Uyemura. The essay contains photographs, texts, and newspaper clippings, and was submitted to Professor Donald T. Hata of the Department of History at CSU Dominguez Hills. The collection depicts the incarceration of people of Japanese ancestry in the Manzanar camp during World War II as well as reflects the events, contrasting with photographs of the Manznar National Historic Site, which illustrates what is left of the camp today. The collection was originally named as “Asian Pacific Studies Collection Box 14.

Intimacy Unguarded: Chris Kraus
No full textThe Central Saint Martins research project 'Intimacy Unguarded', run by Emma Talbot and Dr Jo Morra, hosted a visit to Central Saint Martins by United States author Chris Kraus. Kraus is a highly respected writer (I Love Dick, Summer of Hate, Aliens and Anorexia etc) and editor of the semi-texte series 'Native Agents'. In this event, Kraus gave a reading from 'I Love Dick' and was then interviewed by Emma Talbot, to a live public audience.
'Intimacy Unguarded' also ran a seminar called 'Write A Letter To Chris Kraus'. Mirroring the format for the celebrated book 'I Love Dick', in which Kraus uses the letter as a way of addressing a particular figure (with whom she is obsessed) whilst simultaneously unpacking her own personal thoughts and research, participants were invited to 'Write a Letter To Chris Kraus'.
Chris Kraus was present at the seminar, where letters were read aloud and Kraus was the first respondent. Those taking part were from Raven Row, CSM BAFA, MAFA and Afterall. An excerpt from Kraus's book and a selection of the letters will be published in the June 2017n issue of Journal of Visual Art Practice, to be guest-edited by Talbot and Morra
Responding to Literature Through Student–Author Interviews: Eighth-Grade Students Challenge Chris Crowe’s Mississippi Trial, 1955
No full textThis study explores virtual, student–author interviews eighth-grade students led with Chris Crowe in response to his young adult novel Mississippi Trial, 1955. The opportunity to interview the author motivated students to read the novel. Through their text-world development, students connected with the fictional and nonfictional characters, Hiram Hillburn and Emmett Till, respectively. Through their critical reader-responses, students sought truth about Emmett Till’s case as they questioned Crowe about the choices he made as an author and researcher, which supported students’ understanding of character development and historical significance of Emmett Till’s case. Crowe’s answers to the students’ critical questions were not easy, but through the student–author interview preparation and implementation process, participants captured a shared understanding of Emmett Till’s case and how its connection to the U.S. civil rights movement impacted history and is pertinent today. Ultimately, this article advocates for reader-response pedagogy to include virtual or in-person student–author interviews
