Reading: Jessica Bruder
No full textIn this audiovisual recording from Thursday, March 24, 2022, as part of the 53rd Annual UND Writers Conference: “Communities and the Individual,” Jessica Bruder reads excerpts from Nomadland. Bruder discusses what it means to be an immersion journalist and what brought her to write Nomadland. Bruder also responds to audience questions about the dynamic between author and those who share their stories for a novel like Nomadland, the connection between immersive journalism and the new journalism literary movement, the process of collecting, organizing, and transforming material into a novel, how faithful the film version of Nomadland was to the book, and if Linda ever got to build her Earthship.

Sequential Derivatization of Polar Organic Compounds in Cloud Water Using O-(2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine Hydrochloride, N, O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide, and Gas-Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Analysis
No full textCloud water samples from Whiteface Mountain, NY were used to develop a combined sampling and gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GCMS) protocol for evaluating the complex mixture of highly polar organic compounds (HPOC) present in this atmospheric medium. Specific HPOC of interest were mono- and di keto-acids which are thought to originate from photochemical reactions of volatile unsaturated hydrocarbons from biogenic and manmade emissions and be a major fraction of atmospheric carbon. To measure HPOC mixtures and the individual keto-acids in cloud water, samples first must be derivatized for clean elution and measurement, and second, have low overall background of the target species as validated by GCMS analysis of field and laboratory blanks. Here, we discuss a dual derivatization method with PFBHA and BSTFA which targets only organic compounds that contain functional groups reacting with both reagents. The method also reduced potential contamination by minimizing the amount of sample processing from the field through the GCMS analysis steps. Once derivatized only gas chromatographic separation and selected ion monitoring (SIM) are needed to identify and quantify the polar organic compounds of interest. Concentrations of the detected total keto-acids in individual cloud water samples ranged from 27.8 to 329.3 ng mL-1 (ppb). Method detection limits for the individual HPOC ranged from 0.17 to 4.99 ng mL-1 and the quantification limits for the compounds ranged from 0.57 to 16.64 ng mL-1. The keto-acids were compared to the total organic carbon (TOC) results for the cloud water samples with concentrations of 0.607 to 3.350 mg L-1 (ppm). GCMS analysis of all samples and blanks indicated good control of the entire collection and analysis steps. Selected ion monitoring by GCMS of target keto-acids was essential for screening the complex organic carbon mixtures present at low ppb levels in cloud water. It was critical for ensuring high levels of quality assurance and quality control and for the correct identification and quantification of key marker compounds.Corrected proof of accepted manuscrip
Women's Art As Political Resistance
No full textPerformances at the 23rd anniversary forum for the February Sisters, a group of women who staged a 1972 sit-in to protest conditions for women at the University of Kansas. After a meeting with Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers, Jr. and the Student Senate Executive Committee the university agreed to establish a day care center on campus and a Women's Studies Program.
The evening includes several components:
An interpretive dance performance by undergraduate students in Women's Studies on the history of the February Sisters and the women's movement at KU
A multimedia slide presentation by Professor Janet Davidson on representations of women in both images and words.
A performance art piece by Nicole Hendricks and Jessica Munson
Poetry readings by Paula Shumacker and Rachel Miller
