Dr. Miriam McCormick – Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Miriam McCormick, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Law, discusses her new book, Believing Against the Evidence: Agency and the Ethics of Belief published recently by Routledge. In this book, Dr. McCormick argues that the standards used to evaluate beliefs are not isolated from other evaluative domains. The ultimate criteria for assessing beliefs are the same as those for assessing action because beliefs and actions are both products of agency

Miriam: The Forgotten Heroine of the Exodus
No full textArtykuł podejmuje próbę ukazania wkładu Miriam w proces, w trakcie którego biblijny Izrael wyłania się jako naród. Autor artykułu skupia się na dwóch tekstach: Wj 15,20-21 i Lb 12. Po zaprezentowaniu struktury literackiej wspomnianych perykop i ukazaniu ich powiązań z innymi tekstami ST, autor przedstawia Miriam jako pieśniarkę, prekursorkę liturgii uwielbienia, prorokinię i przewodniczkę ludu. Podkreślając jej cierpienia jako nieodzowny element charyzmatu proroka, autor podkreśla ich wagę dla stwierdzenia autentyczności władzy prorockiej Miriam. Według piszącego, charyzmat prorocki Miriam został przez hagiografa ukazany jako wpajający nadzieję i między innymi polegał na przeprowadzaniu jej rodaków ze świata widzialnego do niewidzialnego, z teraźniejszości w przyszłość i z czasowości w nieskończoność.The study is an attempt to reveal the Miriam’s contribution into process of formation of biblical Israel as nation. Author of deliberations is focusing attention on two fundamental texts, that is Ex 15:20-21 and Num 12. After presentation of the literary structure of selected periscopes – making some important references to other biblical texts of the Old Testament – the author tries to portray Miriam as a singer, a precursor of worship, a prophetess and a guide of the people. Highlighting her suffering as an indispensable element of the prophetic charism, he underlines its importance for verification and authentication of Miriam’s prophetic authority. According to the author, the prophetic charism of Miriam, shown by the hagiographer for the service of hope, consisted, among others, in a “conveying” of her brethren from the visible into invisible world, from the present into the future, and from temporality toward eternity.
The rise of the citizen author: Writing within social media
No full textThe concept of the citizen author is defined and explored within the publishing industry. In order to understand what positions the citizen author currently, and potentially could, hold it begins with a historical view of their rise, including concepts of their eighteenth century antecedents. But the focus of this research is on their growth alongside that of social media platforms. This allows for drawing out relationships between genre fiction, publishers, and the citizen author, which provides a more full understanding of the power dynamics involved when publishers, social media, and the citizen authors mix in the current industry climate
Miriam, la responsable de un otro.
No full textEl presente estudio de caso aborda diferentes conceptos de la teoría
psicoanalítica que permitieron analizar el caso de Miriam. A raíz de conceptos
claves que se relacionan entre sí como síntoma, fantasma y goce se puede
especificar que el caso es de una estructura de neurosis histérica. Es entonces
que para llegar a tal diagnóstico se hace referencia al rol que Miriam asume en
la vida, la de ser la responsable del bienestar de los demás. Este papel es muy
importante puesto que a pesar de que causa malestar, la paciente se mantiene
gozante, de allí que antepone sus necesidades para apoyar a los demás. Es por
eso que se puede decir que Miriam como sujeto histérico hace de su síntoma
“hacerse cargo” un conflicto psíquico que la posiciona en la insatisfacción y
privación. En conclusión, el síntoma histérico, en este caso, surge por la
presencia de un Otro que marca e interpela a Miriam a la responsabilidad de
hacerse cargo.The present case study covers different concepts of psychoanalytic theory that
allowed the analysis of Miriam's case. As a result of key concepts related to each
other such as symptom, phantasm and jouissance, it can be specified that the
case is a hysterical neurosis structure. It is then that in order to reach such a
diagnosis, reference is made to the role that Miriam assumes in life, that of being
responsible for the welfare of others. This role is very important since, in spite
of causing discomfort, the patient remains joyful, hence she puts her needs first
in order to support others. That is why it can be said that Miriam as a hysterical
subject makes her symptom of "taking charge" a psychic conflict that positions
her in dissatisfaction and deprivation. In conclusion, the hysterical symptom, in
this case, arises from the presence of an Other that marks and calls Miriam to
the responsibility of taking charge

First, Lessons in Typography with Dr. Miriam Ahmed
No full textIntersectional research exploiting multi modal methodologies, facilitated by the rapid access frontier of the virtual platform must certainly reposition the world view of graphic design. Here, expanding on the responsible design movement and initial findings of statistical research on the niche of Indigenous American graphic design, we enter the world of the student. We are on a journey through the eyes of two levels of students, university and pre-school, that builds a case for broader exploration beyond standard typographic pathways, quantitative approaches to design research, and a re-evaluation of academic and professional type rhetoric.
We travel into Miriam Ahmed’s virtual classroom and share her recent adventures charting an inclusive course through the Wander Type Project – a fully remote assignment undertaken by her typography students at Nova Southeastern University. She’ll also present the initial findings of statistical research into Indigenous American graphic designers who took the AIGA Design Census and who are likely at the forefront of the responsible design movement.
First, Lessons in Typography, is as it says it is. It is an incursion into the genesis of typography where we trace to the formative years, early childhood. Delving into heritage and culture, a subtle and erstwhile subconscious stream into type awareness is espoused as the bosom of the democratization of design effort. Renewed type rhetoric can provide pathways to explaining and validating the immense worth of a career in design and typography – not just to parents, but to everyone.
As a design and communication scholar and educator, Miriam Ahmed’s work is on the frontier of multi-modal analysis. She reexamines the layers and the hype to unearth one essential truth: we’ve been in this business for a long time and we are here to stay.
Dr. Miriam Ahmed is an Assistant Professor of graphic design at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL. She is the author of “Minority, Millennial Graphic Designers Say No to the ‘Road to Hell’” in Design and Culture 12(1): 31-55 (2020), “Perspectives On Responsible Design Among Minority, Millennial Graphic Designers” in The International Journal of Design in Society 12(4): 29-44 (2018), and the essay “Minority Designers – Leading the Charge Toward Responsible Design” in Citizen Designer: Perspectives on Design Responsibility (Second Edition) edited by Steven Heller and Véronique Vienne (2018, Allworth Press with SVA NYC). She presented her students’ typography research at ATypI All Over 2020 and presented her research on “Anatomical Grids” at TypeCon 2019. She was an AIGA DC SHINE 2019-20 mentor and served on the 2020 Advisory Review Panel for the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. She has taught graphic design at Howard University, MICA, and was an Assistant Professor of Visual Communication at the American University in Dubai, UAE. Dr. Ahmed received her BFA and MFA in Graphic Design, and her doctorate in Mass Communications and Media Studies at Howard University, Washington DC. She was a Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) Rising Star.
Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Dr. Ahmed is a globe trotter and values immersion in unfamiliar cultures. She has traveled from Egypt to Europe, Mideast to Japan, Southeast Asia and throughout the US and Caribbean, and hasn’t seen near enough of the world yet
