Impacts of climate change on coastal forests in the northeast US
No full textTo better enable climate-smart decision-making, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Northeast Climate Hub engaged researchers at Rutgers University to conduct a synthesis of the current state of knowledge concerning how Northeastern U.S. coastal forests, specifically those in mid-Atlantic and southern New England states (VA, MD, DE, NJ, NY, CT, and MA), are responding to impacts from climate change. Drawing upon the scientific literature, expert interviews, and a January 2020 convening of scientists and land managers at the U.S. National Agricultural Library, Beltsville, Maryland, this synthesis identifies key knowledge gaps as well as potential management approaches

Jacob : the lover who lost his patience
No full textCelebrated Israeli novelist Meir Shalev delivers the opening keynote address, entitled "Jacob - The Lover Who Lost His Patience", of the "Symposium on Modern Hebrew and Israeli Literature", sponsored by the Michigan State University Jewish Studies Program and the MSU Libraries. Shalev suggests that many interpreters of the story of Jacob try to portray Jacob in a much better light than he deserves. He then proceeds with his own version of the story, provides additional insights on the characters Rachael and Leah and says that his is a more "secular interpretation" of the classic biblical tale. A question and answer session follows. The event is convened by MSU Librarian Deborah Margolis and MSU Professor Marc Bernstein introduces Shalev. Held at the Main Library. Part of the MSU Libraries' Colloquia Series

Tipping elements and climate-economic shocks: Pathways toward integrated assessment
No full textThe literature on the costs of climate change often draws a link between climatic ‘tipping points’ and large economic shocks, frequently called ‘catastrophes’. The phrase ‘tipping points’ in this context can be misleading. In popular and social scientific discourse, ‘tipping points’ involve abrupt state changes. For some climatic ‘tipping points,’ the commitment to a state change may occur abruptly, but the change itself may be rate-limited and take centuries or longer to realize. Additionally, the connection between climatic ‘tipping points’ and economic losses is tenuous, though emerging empirical and process-model-based tools provide pathways for investigating it. We propose terminology to clarify the distinction between ‘tipping points’ in the popular sense, the critical thresholds exhibited by climatic and social ‘tipping elements,’ and ‘economic shocks’. The last may be associated with tipping elements, gradual climate change, or non-climatic triggers. We illustrate our proposed distinctions by surveying the literature on climatic tipping elements, climatically sensitive social tipping elements, and climate-economic shocks, and we propose a research agenda to advance the integrated assessment of all three.Peer reviewed
Letter from Helen (Nakamura) Napoleon to Rachael Kawasaki, July 5, 1991
No full textCorrespondence from Helen Napoleon to Rachael Kawasaki regarding redress payments for Napoleon's mother, Dorothy Nakamura, a non-Japanese individual who chose to accompany her spouse to an incarceration camp during World War II.The Japanese American Archival Collection documents the people, places, and daily life of Japanese Americans, primarily those who lived in the once thriving community of pre-war Florin in the Sacramento region, as well as the conditions in American incarceration camps during World War II. The approximately 7,000 original items include personal and official letters, photographs, diaries, arts and crafts, newsletters, textiles, camps artifacts, yearbooks and other publications
Bereavement, re-membering and speaking after the loss of a family member to suicide
No full textDisjunctions may arise after the loss of a friend or family member, especially after death through suicide. The first author (Rachael) calls on the words from bereaved people struggling to speak about such a loss. Their words resonate with her own lived experience of struggling to speak after the early ending of her father’s life through suicide.
Autoethnographies of three events (self-data) written in the first and third person opened up spaces for Rachael to trouble and break the silence that prevailed in the discursive context of her experience of loss. The authors draw on poststructuralist theory and practices of narrative therapy to reflect on and theorise the transformation that occurred as ways were found for Rachael to speak.
The autoethnographic narratives show how, by participating in a family “re-membering” conversation, Rachael and her siblings were able to honour their father in a way that sustained their hopes to speak together about their loss for the first time and story the subsequent reconnection of family members. This article potentially opens up spaces for further conversations about the possibilities and challenges of speaking about suicide loss
Toxic Masculinity, Unyielding Vaginas, and Vampires: Gender Roles in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series and Life and Death
No full textRachael Linthicum compares and critiques the first novel of the Twilight saga and author Stephenie Meyer\u27s most recent novel, Life and Death, a gender-swapped version of the same story. This essay offers careful analysis, ultimately arguing that agency is too often withheld from female characters in popular culture. For a topic that is so often talked-about--that is, the depiction of women in the media--this piece remains fresh, interesting, and authentic. This essay was composed for WRTC 420: Feminist Rhetorics
