No full textDorthy Lukens (JD 2022) was interviewed by Princess Igwe-Icho via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software. Mrs. Lukens was born on September 27th, 1985 in Saginaw, Michigan.

During her interview, she explained how her childhood and involvement in the Bridge Center for Racial Equality as a teenager led her to where she is now. She also discussed her current family and her experiences studying law as a Black woman, both in general and in the context of the COVID pandemic and death of George Floyd. In addition, Mrs. Lukens explained how the Black Law Students Association and Dean Erika Fadel, among others, supported her during her time at SMU and stressed the importance of support for students of color, especially in the legal field
Sacrosanct Values, Controversial Artistic Expression, and Today's Global Society: A Dramatistic Analysis of the Muhammad Cartoon Controversy
Get PDFThe author is now Zeta Coneta-Tzipora Gillerra.This study is an exploration into how the Muhammad Cartoon Controversy unfolded at three critical thresholds of the conflict's development vis-à-vis a comprehensive examination of the scope of the phenomenon. First, this study focuses a lens on critical communications that transpired in Denmark among key figures engaged in the conflict. Second, the interviews of Flemming Rose provide insight into how the conflict was dramatized by Jyllands-Posten and Flemming Rose for international dissemination. Third, the televised broadcasts provide examples of how the controversy was dramatized for American audiences. Together, these rhetorical artifacts allow for analysis of the product of the worldviews as expressed through the cartoons, multiplied by the values and traditions of the interlocutors, and multiplied by the amplification of the conflict through televised broadcasts. The ultimate purpose of this study is to determine what lessons learned can be applied to ameliorate future international conflicts involving disparate value systems
Nutrition education centers: A community-based approach to management of malnutrition
Get PDFNutritional health is a core aspect of sustainable development. Globally, progress has been made in reducing child stunting and promoting exclusive breastfeeding; nevertheless, anemia, malnourishment of mothers and children, and general food insecurity are still persistent, requiring multifaceted approaches to address those challenges (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [FAO] et al., 2022). Uganda, the location of this case study, adopted both global and regional strategies. For example, Uganda is a signatory to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targeting an end to all forms of malnutrition by 2030 (United Nations, 2015). Regionally, Uganda is also a signatory to the 2014 Malabo Declaration, which aimed at enhancing food production and reducing malnutrition by 2025 (African Union, 2014). The Uganda Nutrition Action Plan I (UNAP) of 2011-2016 made gains in reducing child stunting from 33% to 29% and wasting from 5% to 4%. However, mothers and children’s malnourishment persists (Office of the Prime Minister [OPM], 2020). The UNAP II 2020-2025 targets reducing malnutrition by leveraging collaborations to improve the functionality of nutrition intervention programs (OPM, 2020). . . .This article is published as Ikendi, S., Owusu, F., Masinde, D., Oberhauser, A., & Bain, C.
