Novel Dialogue 5.1 We Have This-ness, Y’all! Ocean Vuong and Amy E. Elkins (EH)
No full textSeason 5 of Novel Dialogue opens with an impassioned refresher course in literary theory brought to you by Ocean Vuong, poet and author of the bestselling novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous (2019). Ocean talks with critic Amy E. Elkins and host Emily Hyde about browsing bookstore shelves and building his personal reading list of “life-giving weirdos.” They discuss genre and gender, antiquing and thrifting, fish sauce and photography, all the while integrating the insights of queer theory and the full range of literary history. What does looking at the world as a junkyard have to do with making art? What does it feel like to run smack dab into a memory? How can we be mindful of the fact that words (like “this”) are tiny objects with infinite possibilities? If autofiction annoys you, listen for how the form reinvents the self against dominant class and gender structures. And if your boots have ever touched down in Hot Springs, Arkansas, stay tuned for our signature question and don’t miss this episode

It is a safe bet that 10 or 20 years from now the sun will rise on an America filled with millions of inventions that do not currently exist. The questions are: What will those inventions be? Will they make the world a better place? And who will bring them to market? Creighton’s entrepreneurship programs are helping provide some answers. Page 8.
AT SECOND GLANCE: THE KARL MARX YOU NEVER KNEW
What is it in Marx that is, and has remained, so powerful in the more than a century since his death in 1883? To answer this question, we will have to begin thinking about Marx in different ways, writes Creighton’s Amy Wendling, Ph.D., assistant professor of philosophy, a Marx scholar and author of the new book Karl Marx on Technology and Alienation.

No full textMutations in a number of stress granule-associated proteins have been linked to various neurodegenerative diseases. Several of these mutations are found in aggregation-prone intrinsically disordered domains (IDRs) of these proteins. My studies have focused on two IDR-containing yeast stress granule proteins, Pab1 and Pbp1. I have introduced mutations designed to enhance aggregation of these proteins and observed effects on stress granule dynamics. Results suggest that these mutations affect IDR localization in the context of overexpression, but do not affect stress granule dynamics in an endogenous system. This has led to questions about how the proteostasis machinery affects stress granule dynamics

Articulating the Value of Our Daily Work: An Initial Discussion of the Assessment Challenges of Engineering Librarians
Full text linkEngineering librarians need to assess the effectiveness of our library instruction and outreach for many reasons, including communicating library value to institutional stakeholders and making impactful contributions to the scholarly literature. However, as practitioners, most librarians have not been formally educated in research design, data collection, and data analysis. To increase our skills and knowledge and to better align with various publication expectations and guidelines (e.g., ELD Author Guidelines), this panel will lead a discussion on library assessment needs with regard to research design, data collection, data analysis, and dissemination and discovery. The goal of the panel is to facilitate a conversation regarding librarian assessment challenges and needs to design a future ASEE workshop.
Panelists: Amy Buhler, Margaret Phillips, Amy Van Epps
This presentation was delivered as part of a modified panel session at the 2019 ASEE Annual Conference in Tampa, Florida
Axel Honneth and Amy Allen: "Historical progress" and the legacy of the Dialectic of Enlightenment
No full textThe article aims to present a contention between Axel Honneth and Amy Allen regarding the idea of historical progress and its role for a Critical Theory of Society. In particular, the following points are discussed: a) the Honneth's understanding of the Dialectic of Enlightenment, regarding to his critique of progress, and the social theory that the author develops in response; b) Allen's criticism of Honneth's perspective, from which she proposes an alternative understanding of Adorno's contribution to the concept – extracting from the Frankfurt philosopher clues to a project of decolonization of Critical Theory. To this end, the text analyzes centrally the works The End of Progress, by Allen, and The Critique of Power and Freedom's Right, by Honneth.O artigo propõe apresentar a divergência entre Axel Honneth e Amy Allen quanto à ideia de progresso histórico e seu papel para uma teoria crítica da sociedade. Particularmente, são discutidas: a) a leitura de Honneth da Dialética do esclarecimento no que se refere à sua crítica do progresso, e a teoria social que o autor formula em resposta; b) a crítica de Allen à perspectiva de Honneth, a partir da qual a autora propõe um entendimento alternativo sobre a contribuição de Adorno ao debate – enxergando no filósofo de Frankfurt pistas para um projeto de descolonização da Teoria Crítica. Para tal, foram estudadas centralmente as obras O fim do progresso, de Allen, e A crítica do poder e O direito da liberdade, de Honneth
El feminismo de Estado en España: El Instituto de la Mujer, 1983-1994
Full text linkEste trabajo contiene un análisis del Instituto de la Mujer (IM), el principal organismo público de igualdad de la Administración central en España. Al igual que las instituciones feministas de otros países, el IM fue establecido con el propósito de impulsar el establecimiento de políticas que contribuyeran a mejorar la posición de las mujeres en la sociedad. La primera parte del artículo examina el proceso de creación del IM, prestando especial atención al papel desempeñado por el movimiento asociativo de mujeres, así como a la importancia de las influencias internacionales. Se estudian además las principales características formales de la institución. La segunda parte contiene una evaluación (provisional) del impacto del IM en la formulación y puesta en práctica de las políticas de igualdad. Por último, se examinan el carácter y las consecuencias de las relaciones formales e informales existentes entre los miembros del movimiento feminista y del feminismo institucional.Publicad
Bridges over Convulsing Waters: the EU aspiring Eastern Partners’ Role in the Regional Governance
Full text linkThe enlargement of the European Union (EU) to the East in 2004 and 2007 so as to include ten former communist countries and two small Mediterranean islands has triggered new questions on the nature of EU governance. We argue that the accession of Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) to the EU has affected governance patterns in the EU and beyond. Undeniably, the most recent waves of enlargement have had feed-back effects on Europeanisation mechanisms (Grabbe 2006). Also, the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) conditionality attached to the Eastern partners will likely follow similar patterns. The EU is proud of its Enlargement policy, “one of the most successful EU policies”i, and is inclined to extend the enlargement mechanisms to future frameworks as the ENP. Through the example of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, and possibly Belarus, we argue that the ENP conditionality contributes to the EU's governance export in the same way the preparations for the fifth Eastern enlargement did. Furthermore, we advance the idea that complying with ENP conditionality may bring EU aspiring Eastern partners closer to accession
