Terry Rey: The Priest and the Prophetess [Audio interview]
No full textTemple Religion professor Terry Rey is the author of The Priest and the Prophetess: Abbe Ouviere, Romaine Riviere, and the Revolutionary Atlantic World (Oxford University Press, 2017). In The Priest and the Prophetess he tells unlikely story about Abbe Ouviere, a politically astute, shapeshifting French priest, and Romaine Riviere, a religiously-inspired, cross-dressing, slave-owning Black military leader, whose lives briefly intersected in the chaotic early days of the Haitian Revolution at the latter’s coffee plantation turned mountain redoubt. Their encounter spanned a few days in which they celebrated the Catholic mass and concluded a military agreement. The fates of Abbe Ouviere, later known as Doctor Pascalis, and Romaine Riviere, whose nom de guerre was Romaine la Prophetess, turned out very differently. While Romaine was soon lost to history, the Abbe made his way to Philadelphia where he launched his medical career by caring for the sick during the 1793 yellow fever epidemic. In part one of this interview, Professor Rey tells the story of Abbe Ouviere and Romaine Riviere at the start of the Haitian Revolution.
In the second part of my interview with Professor Terry Rey on his new book, The Priest and the Prophetess: Abbe Ouviere, Romaine Riviere, and the Revolutionary Atlantic World, we leave Haiti and the Haitian Revolution behind. Romaine la Prophetess has disappeared and will soon perish in the flames of the revolution. That terrible conflict will continue alongside its European cousin, the French Revolution, until the early years of the next century. A hemisphere away, an exhausted Felix Alexander Pascalis Ouviere washes up on Philadelphia’s shores, having survived an attack on the British brig Catherine by a French privateer in Delaware Bay. Among his few possessions is a letter of introduction addressed to George Washington. Soon Dr. Pascalis will be treating yellow fever victims in that miasmic summer of 1793 in the company of such luminaries as Benjamin Rush. Abbe Ouviere is nowhere to be found.

Teoria da Subjetividade e educação: entrevista com Fernando González Rey : Entrevista
No full textThis interview addresses the topic of education, having as a guiding line the professional and the intellectual trajectory of the author of the Theory of Subjectivity from a cultural-historical approach, Fernando González Rey. More than a conventional interview, it was a dialogue, which emphasizes the richness and density of the author\u27s living thought. Through his perspective of subjectivity, education is permanently linked to the generation of social relations and spaces geared towards subjective development. Individuals, social groups and institutions are articulated in the organization of educational processes, which are, on the one hand, never detached from history and culture and, on the other hand, aimed at building the futureEsta entrevista aborda o tema da educação, tendo como fio condutor a formação e a trajetória intelectual do autor da Teoria da Subjetividade em uma abordagem cultural-histórica, Fernando González Rey. Mais que uma entrevista convencional, tratou-se de um diálogo, que aborda a riqueza e a densidade do pensamento vivo do autor. Por meio de sua perspectiva da subjetividade, a educação encontra-se permanentemente articulada à geração de relações e espaços sociais voltados ao desenvolvimento subjetivo. Indivíduos, grupos sociais e instituições articulam-se complexamente na organização dos processos educativos, que se encontram, por um lado, indissociados da história e da cultura e, por outro, voltados para a construção do porvir
The gendered nature of academic institutions: a gender-analysis of Italian Universities
No full textThe academic fields are highly gendered, with men being overrepresented in the highest academic positions, while women tend to occupy the lower and more precarious positions, which indicates the existence of an academic ‘glass ceiling’. Most Italian academic institutions have policies on gender equality and/or diversity, but a common problem is a lack of transparency and gender-disaggregated data. Information such as sex-disaggregated data is essential to carry out gender- equality analysis and to analyse important decision-making processes from a gender perspective. In this paper, we assess the gendered nature of Italian universities by investigating the structure of academic positions by gender at both public and private universities from 2011 to 2017, with the help of gender-disaggregated statistics. Furthermore, we also analyse the gender segregation patterns in the data by geographical area. We document the persistence of a gender gap in a typical Italian academic career. Indeed, the empirical investigation finds that in 2017, while the proportion of women academic staff was 40.2%, women made up only 37.5% of associate professors and 23% of full professors. The results indicate that gender segregation in Italian universities has been reduced over time but is far from eliminated. Despite positive changes achieved in recent years, the study reveals a prevailing vertical segregation in Italian universities, i.e., a significant under- representation of women in the higher ranks of academia

Dynamics of finite-sized light spheres in turbulence
No full textWe report experimental results on the Lagrangian dynamics of finite-size light particles in turbulence. Using an orthogonal camera setup and 3D particle tracking, we study the velocity and acceleration statistics of rigid light spheres in a water tunnel with nearly homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. The Reynolds number (ReY) is varied from 180 to 300, and the study covers a range of size ratios (4 < D/η < 16) for marginally light spheres. We find that the normalised acceleration PDF decreases in intermittency with increasing size ratio - in qualitative agreement with the predictions of the Faxén corrected model. We also present preliminary results on the rotational dynamics of large light spheres in turbulence

Playa del Rey lagoon showing Del Rey Hotel, Playa Del Rey Pavilion and pier, Los Angeles, ca.1908
No full textPhotograph of Playa del Rey lagoon showing Del Rey Hotel, Playa Del Rey Pavilion and pier, Los Angeles, ca.1908. The lagoon is in the shape of a track & field, except the field is the lagoon. Inclined bleachers encircle the lagoon's waterline allowing people a spectacle view of the water activities that go on within the lagoon. A Chinese-style pavilion is built near the mouth of the lagoon. Behind the pavilion is the pier. To the right of it is the Del Rey Hotel. Another building can be seen at left. As seen from the bluffs looking west towards the Pacific Ocean.; "The Playa del Rey area, located about two miles south of Kinney's Venice of America resort, was once, centuries ago, the mouth of the Los Angles River. But after the river shifted course to begin emptying in Los Alamitos Bay in Long Beach, it left behind a sleepy lagoon more than two miles wide and one fifth of a mile wide with a trickle of fresh water flowing to sea along La Ballona Creek. Nearly 100 lots were sold for prices ranging from 1500 at a July 16th auction and more were sold in August and September. With the completion of the Sherman and Clark owned Los Angeles Pacific electric trolley line, the 'Short Line,' to Los Angeles on October 19, 1902, hundreds began visiting the new resort. A pavilion and small hotel were eventually built in Oriental craftsman rather than Venetian style, around the lagoon in 1904, but few investors actually built on their lots. While Playa del Rey was considered a modest success in attracting day tourists, it proved to be Abbot Kinney's inspiration and served as an example of a resort that wasn't large enough in scope to attract investors or excite the public. The company built an impressive three-story, 200,000 Hotel Del Rey with fifty guests rooms. A boat-racing course was laid out and a grandstand and boathouse erected on shore. A bridge spanned the lagoon's ocean entrance and a 1200-foot long fishing pier was built nearby." -- unknown author
