Technology\u27s Unexpected Consequences
No full textGetting people excited about science is the passion of Ainissa Ramirez, author and science “evangelist,” who spreads her “gospel” through books, TED Talks, online videos and the podcast “Science Underground.” She was named one of the world’s 100 Top Young Innovators by Technology Review for her contributions to transforming technology and has been the recipient of the American Institute of Physics’ Andrew Gemant Award.
Ramirez spent eight years teaching mechanical engineering & materials science as an associate professor at Yale University and also has been a visiting professor at MIT. She is the author or coauthor of three books, including 2013’s “Newton’s Football: The Science Behind America’s Game,” an entertaining and enlightening look at the big ideas underlying the science of football.
She has served as a science advisor to the American Film Institute, WGBH/NOVA and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, among others.

Reading Helen Hunt Jackson\u27s \u3cem\u3eRamona\u3c/em\u3e
No full textHelen Hunt Jackson was one of America’s most renowned and prolific female writers of the 1870s and 1880s, best known during her lifetime (1830-1885) and into the early twentieth century for her poetry, domestic essays, travel sketches, and moralistic novels. However, as Jackson herself predicted, her most enduring legacy is her writing advocating American Indian rights (Higginson, “Helen” 151). Most significantly, her 1884 novel Ramona protests American Indian displacement in southern California and, more broadly, criticizes Anglo-American conquest through land acquisition. A bestseller when it appeared, Ramona has never gone out of print; has been translated into many languages; was adapted for four movie productions between 1910 and 1936; was scripted for several theater versions as well as the annual Ramona Outdoor Play, held annually in Hemet, California, since 1923; and was the source of a Ramona-centered tourist industry in southern California between 1887 and the 1950s (Moylan 226, DeLyser 80-81). The publication of two new paperback editions of Ramona, in 2002 and 2005, suggests the novel’s continued popularity and its importance in the study of American literature
Mapping the Horizon of Transformative Peace
No full textThis article explores what it means for peace to be transformative and discusses what it takes for a peace project and its institutions to enable transformative peace. To address these questions the article offers a theoretical and conceptual approach and draws on< some examples from case studies, especially Colombia. The article deals with the resistance that transformative projects might face from the victims they are meant to benefit. It promotes an understanding of conflict and resistance as essential dimensions to bring about positive transformations in violent contexts. In so doing, the author shows that the possibilities offered by normative-based frameworks to build transformative peace are curtailed by principles such as neutrality and impartiality of international law. These principles have resulted in institutional gender and race blindness that precludes the possibilities of a peace project being transformative.Thus, she offers a debate on two aspects that might condition or enable transformative forms of peace: the temporalities of peacebuilding and the inclusion of dissensus. Building on this the author proposes an understanding of transformative peace as an orientation that has on its horizon people’s emancipation from structural oppressions. This understanding will allow peace institutions more realistic time-space scales and the opportunity to benefit from the difference and dissensus that the practice of peacemaking might have left aside.Sonia Garzon Ramirez holds a PhD in Comparative Gender Studies from the Central European University, Budapest (Hungary). From 2020 to 2022, Sonia was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University (UK). In 2021, she was a visiting researcher at swisspeace with the Dealing with the Past (DwP) team. Her current research examines nonviolent resistance and contestation to peacebuilding. Sonia combines feminist theory, intersectionality and agonistic theory to investigate how dissensus participates in shaping peacebuilding and bringing about transformative peace

Biodiversity and biogeography of hydrothermal vent species: thirty years of discovery and investigations
No full textAuthor Posting. © Oceanography Society, 2007. This article is posted here by permission of Oceanography Society for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Oceanography 20, 1 (2007): 30-41.The discovery of hydrothermal vents and the unique, often endemic
fauna that inhabit them represents one of the most extraordinary
scientific discoveries of the latter twentieth century. Not surprisingly,
after just 30 years of study of these remarkable—and extremely
remote—systems, advances in understanding the animals and microbial
communities living around hydrothermal vents seem to
occur with every fresh expedition to the seafloor. On average, two
new species are described each month—a rate of discovery that has
been sustained over the past 25–30 years. Furthermore, the physical, geological, and
geochemical features of each part of the ridge system and its associated
hydrothermal-vent structures appear to dictate which novel
biological species can live where. Only 10 percent of the ridge
system has been explored for hydrothermal activity to date (Baker
and German, 2004), yet we find different diversity patterns in that
small fraction. While it is well known that species composition varies
along discrete segments of the global ridge system, this “biogeographic
puzzle” has more pieces missing than pieces in place.E. Ramirez-Llodra is supported by

On the taxonomic status of Liolaemus filiorum Pincheira-Donoso & Ramirez, 2005 (Iguania: Liolaemidae): A response to Pincheira-Donoso
No full textArtículo de publicación ISII discuss the arguments put forth recently by Pincheira-Donoso, in which the author attempts to revalidate Liolaemus filiorum Pincheira-Donoso & Ramirez, 2005, a species which I had previously considered a junior synonym of L. puritamensis. The author of this revalidation omitted important information including: 1) the description was published without peer review, 2) one of the two types was deposited in a personal collection, 3) the diagnosis is weak and unclear, 4) the holotype was not explicitly described or illustrated. Additionally, the author did not discuss key aspects of my paper, most particularly, the incorrect designation of the holotype of L. filiorum
