Ep. #179 - Nicole Starosielski
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.On this week’s pod, we firstly recall the happy days of After Oil School 2: Solarity. Then (14:31) your co-hosts share their conversation with the amazing Nicole “NicStar” Starosielski (NYU) about about her fascinating new book project Media Hot and Cold,which offers a deep dive into all things thermocultural. We talk with Nicole about how her earlier work on undersea cables led to a broader interest in temperature as a medium and mode of communication. We talk about the importance of queering McLuhan and moving toward more feminist and antiracist approaches to media. We chat about thermal sexism and the rise of thermal personalization under neoliberalism, thermal violence and the spread of sweatboxes, and her work to develop a non-extractive metallurgical method of analysis. We turn from there to practices of sunlight and why Nicole was inspired to think about solarity via her work as a farmer. We close on the new book series she is editing with Stacy Alaimo, Elements (for Duke U Press).

Partial Reform of World Rice Trade: Implications for the U.S. Rice Sector
No full textThis paper analyzes the consequences for the United States of a partial reform of world rice trade. It is argued that likely trade reform would occur in the japonica rice producing countries of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the European Community. Multilateral rice trade liberalization would have strong effects for medium grain rice in the United States. The strength of these effects might not be felt for a couple of years after the liberalization has begun because of minimal Japanese imports in the first couple of years of liberalization. U.S. rice millers will likely benefit more than producers. California producers would be the major beneficiaries of more open world rice markets.trade liberalization, rice, japonica rice, agricultural trade, simulation model, Crop Production/Industries, International Relations/Trade,
Oral history interview with Nicole Rice
No full textNicole 'Nikki' joined Broken Arrow first as a fourth grade teacher and then as a 7th grade science teacher. She would like to impact discipline policies, which don't take into account the context of a child's life experiences, and thinks the best way to do that is from an administrative position rather than a classroom teacher. While not an activist prior to the walkout, she aims to be part of legislative efforts through going to OKC and advocating for pro-education bills when they come through. She is cynical of the state and future of education in Oklahoma, however. Ultimately, she was discouraged by the way the walkout was handled and she felt that ""not all voices were heard"" and also that the Oklahoma Education Association and others claimed to ""speak for all"" but that was not the case. For her, the lasting legacy of the walkout was that it was not about pay raises only, and was really about advocating for future students and educators and for the future of education in Oklahoma.The 2018 Oklahoma Education Walkouts Oral History Collection is a series of interviews with teachers who participated in the 2018 walkouts across Oklahoma to better understand its impact on the teachers and to establish a record for future generations to understand this historic event from the perspective of the people who made it happen

Dr. Nicole Maurantonio - Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Nicole Maurantonio, Associate Professor of Rhetoric & Communication Studies and American Studies, discusses her book, Confederate Exceptionalism: Civil War Myth and Memory in the Twenty-First Century, published recently by the University Press of Kansas. In a time of contentious debates and protests surrounding the removal of Confederate monuments, this book considers how so-called “neo-Confederates” can distance themselves from the actions of white supremacists while also clinging to the very symbols and narratives that tether the Confederacy to histories of racism and oppression in the United States
