Emile Zola : An Influence on John Steinbeck?
No full textiii, 47 p.The possibility of a connection between French author
Emile Zola, born in 1840 in Paris, and the American novelist
John Steinbeck, born in California in 1902, may seem
remote. Yet, if one examines closely criticism dealing
with these two authors, then compares two of their novels,
Germinal and The Grapes of Wrath, the suggestion that Steinbeck
may have been influenced directly or indirectly by
Zola' s work when he wrote The Grapes of Wrath is not unreasonable

ilisaijinngulauqtut (they became teachers): A discussion of Inuit Teacher education opportunities in Inuit Nunangat.
No full textInitial teacher education in Canada involves both education and certification. While teaching is designed by post-secondary institutions, certification falls under the jurisdiction of provinces and territories. Within Inuit Nunangat the intersection of both is guided by land claims agreements, which vary across the region. We establish a baseline for ongoing discussions of Inuit teacher education opportunities for growth. We also adopt Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) as a framework for unifying discussions across the regions, and through this, highlight innovations in teacher education within each of the regions in relation to the history of program development and student experience. In addition, regionally specific challenges with teacher education alongside shared challenges impacting recruitment, retention, and professional progression of teachers are discussed. Finally in our concluding thoughts, we explore the tensions between intentions and realities of becoming teacher for Inuit who wish to compete their initial teacher education at home
The ‘We Say What We Think’ Club: Rural Wisconsin Women and the Development of Environmental Ethics
No full textThe “We Say What We Think” Club: This article discusses the radio program “We Say What We Think Club” which aired on WIBA radio from 1937 to 1957. Though aimed at a female audience, it did not focus on homemaking tips or relationship advice but rather featured a topic-of-the-day. These included a wide range of subjects, such as Better Clubs for Women or Feeding the Family in War Time,” about which the women held a folksy discussion. The author contends that the program reflected an increasing separation of gender spheres that emerged on farms during that era. The five Dane County women who hosted the show -- Sibylle Mitchell (1890-1980) of Cottage Grove, Ruth King of Madison, Isabel Baumann (1918-1977) of Sun Prairie, Grace Langer of Marshall, and Selma Sorenson of Klevenville -- are profiled
Just say no, or else: celebrities as cultural advocates in the war on drugs
No full textDuring the 1980s, Ronald and Nancy Reagan served as dual figureheads in the United States’ War on Drugs. While the policies and impacts of that campaign have been documented extensively by scholars, this project addresses the cultural side of the anti-drug movement which was crucial for gaining consent for the drug war’s broader policy goals. During both terms of the Reagan administration, celebrities, athletes, and entertainment industry executives were responsible for producing hundreds of public service announcements, rallies, and other media campaigns, some of which were created directly in collaboration with government officials and some of which were created independently. All of those public service announcements and media campaigns served as key sites wherein the state defined the stakes of the drug crisis and sold the public on its vision for the broader anti-drug effort. The messages put forth by athletes and entertainers through their own platforms or in collaboration with Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign directly reflected the Reagan administration’s political and cultural perspectives and helped reify the moral panic that underpinned those perspectives. Celebrity-backed campaigns especially reinforced the ideas that the drug war was to be fought voluntarily by individuals and non-governmental organizations, and that drug abuse could be made culturally unacceptable and thus prevented by framing drug users as irresponsible members of society. The cultural side of the anti-drug movement reflected the deeply racialized dimensions of the broader War on Drugs – especially after the ascent of the crack cocaine epidemic – where the political and media framing of crack as a “Black drug” prompted the creation of anti-drug messaging that featured Black celebrities and that was targeted at young Black Americans.M.A.Includes bibliographical reference
