Jonathan David Katz: How AIDS Changed American Art
No full textQueer Arts Festival and SFU\u27s Vancity Office of Community Engagement presented a lecture by Jonathan David Katz, PhD, on the exhibition ART/AIDS/AMERICA at the Tacoma Art Museum from now until Jan 10, 2016. Generally considered merely a tragic tangent to US culture, AIDS has in fact been one of the most powerful shaping forces in American culture since the 1980\u27s. We have repressed AIDS’ role in the making of our culture in keeping with our longstanding, repression of AIDS in general. But repression, as known from psychoanalysis, is the sign of great power. The lecture was followed by a Q&A with Dr. Katz.Jonathan David Katz is a pioneering academic and gay activist who works at the intersection of art history and queer history. Widely recognized as a leading authority in queer art history, his work as curator, scholar, and activist has had a profound impact on the understanding of queer art and artists in both academia and the larger world. Katz founded the Harvey Milk Institute, the world’s largest queer studies institute, and serves as president and chief curator of New York City\u27s Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art. His recent work includes co-curating “Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Art,” an exhibition at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery that broke ground by focusing on LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) issues. Katz directs SUNY Buffalo’s PhD program in visual studies. Katz is currently co-curating ART/AIDS/AMERICA at the Tacoma Art Museum from now until January 10, 2016, and will curate the 2016 Queer Arts Festival visual arts exhibition this coming June

Assistance in the development of a wind turbine test facility in accordance with relevant national and international standards
No full textThis dissertation assists the National Small Wind Turbine Centre (NSWTC) in the development of a wind turbine test facility and in preparation for the development of a future turbine testing site. The test turbine facility will conduct tests in accordance with relevant national and international standards. Assistance was given in the development of the test facility by the identification of some of the key areas of the initial set up of the wind turbine test facility. The clarity and adequacy of portions of current national and international standards in application to the development of a small wind turbine testing facility was assessed. By the completion of this dissertation assistance was given, which contributed to the progression of the site development aspects in establishment of the test facility. This process gave insight into some of the important factors to consider in the development of a wind turbine test facility. Participation by author in two international tasks that assessed wind turbine test data to selected standards provided exposure to the current wind turbine standards that will be applied in the testing of wind turbines at the facility. This process highlighted the lack of clarity within one of the standards and illustrated the varied results that can be produced if the assessed standards are not understood as intended. Recommendations were given on how the NSWTC might improve the method of site development of the future test facility. The assessment allowed recommendations to be made on the use of the standards and outlines how errors in their application might be avoided
Contemporary Literature. Analysis of Jonathan Bazzi's novels
No full textopenDopo una breve panoramica della letteratura italiana degli ultimi vent’anni si analizzano i due romanzi di Jonathan Bazzi "Febbre" e "Corpi minori" dai punti di vista formale, stilistico e tematico. Si discute inoltre il rapporto tra social media, autofiction e autore; nel capitolo 4 si riporta l'intervista che Bazzi ci ha gentilmente concesso, in cui questi argomenti vengono ripresi.
Si individuano alcune differenze che i testi mostrano rispetto alla letteratura moderna, e gli aspetti che hanno in comune con quella contemporanea; nel fare questo si accennano quindi alcune caratteristiche della società che li ha prodotti.The paper starts off with a brief overview of the contemporary Italian literature; then the reader is guided through an analysis of Jonathan Bazzi's novels, "Febbre" ("Fever") and "Corpi minori" ("Minor bodies"), both translated in English and published by Scribe.

Administration and Curricula of the Introductory Graduate Music Research Course
No full textThe introductory research course is an integral part of many graduate music programs, yet there have been few studies that discuss its curricula across institutions. A questionnaire was sent to instructors of the course to identify shared pedagogical approaches among North American schools of music. The survey was divided into sections that prompted respondents to identify issues discussed in the course, including the types and titles of resources, research methodologies, and library use topics. With a response rate of over 40 percent, the survey also contains valuable data concerning the professional identifications of instructors, assignments used for grading, common textbooks, perception of the course’s efficacy, and more. Shared features of the course included the importance of electronic resources; the minimal use of Internet-mediated instruction formats; a strong preference for English-language materials; and a focus on resources such as databases, style guides, collected works, monuments of music, and thematic catalogs over and above others such as repertoire guides, discographies, directories, and iconographies.Peer reviewedThis publication first appeared in Notes Volume 71, Number 3, March 2015, pp. 448-478.
