    PDF copy of the syllabus for "Mapping Violence," an undergraduate course co-taught by Profs. Monica Muñoz Martinez and Jim McGrath with Teaching Assistant Edwin Rodriguez. The course draws on and contributes to work from Mapping Violence, a digital restorative justice initiative focused on acts of state-sanctioned racial violence in Texas and Mexico during the early twentieth century. "Mapping Violence" was offered to undergraduates in the American Studies and Ethnic Studies programs at Brown. This copy of the syllabus acknowledges the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and documents both the original semester plans and the revised course approach. Official course description for "Mapping Violence": Mapping Violence is a research project that aims to expose interconnected histories of violence, the legacies of colonization, slavery, and genocide that intersect in Texas in the early twentieth century. Although often segregated in academic studies, these histories coalesced geographically and temporally. Students in this course will learn interdisciplinary methods combining ethnic studies, history, public humanities and the digital humanities to rethink the limits of archival research, historical narrative, and methods for presenting findings to public audiences. This research intensive seminar will allow students to develop historical research skills and to contribute original research to the Mapping Violence project

    Visible Light Induced Cationic Polymerization of Epoxides by Using Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

    No full text
    The visible light induced cationic polymerization of epoxides can be achieved by means of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which act as visible light photoinitiators via a radical-induced cationic photopolymerization process. When MWCNTs are irradiated with longer wavelengths (above 400 nm), they generate carbon radicals, by means of hydrogen abstraction from the epoxy monomer; these radicals are oxidized in the presence of iodonium salt to a carbocation that is sufficiently reactive to start the cationic ring-opening polymerization of an epoxy monomer. These mechanisms have been supported by electron paramagnetic resonance analysis.Fil: Sangermano, Marco. Politecnico di Torino; ItaliaFil: Rodriguez, Damian.
