Nondestructive evaluation of residual stresses in nanostructured coatings by synchotron radiation:
No full textThis thesis presents a strain mapping in nanostructure Al2O3/TiO2 ceramic coatings on metallic Titanium substrates by synchrotron radiation. The mapping is obtained under various boundary conditions (tension/compression loads, four-point bending, etc.) and is accomplished using high energy (deeply penetrating) synchrotron white radiation with photon energies up to 200 keV to perform high precision x-ray diffraction on small volumes (1 µm to a few cm), which are then integrated into high resolution 3D maps of the strain fields. Strain mapping in conventional micro-size ceramic coatings are performed for comparison. The underlining structural and functional parameters in processing of these coatings, which result in dramatic improvements in their performance, are discussed. The thesis also presents mechanical properties such as elastic modulus, yield strength, etc., which are deduced from energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) strain mapping in conjunction with modeling.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Nazia Ikram Ahmed
Nazia Hossain Interview
No full textDr. Nazia Hossain (M.A. 2015. Ed.D. 2020) was interviewed by David Hu via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on June 19, 2020. She attended SMU as a graduate student to get her Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling and Doctorate in Higher Education Administration. In the interview she talks about growing up as a Muslim and how she developed her passion for counseling. Born in Bangladesh, Ms. Hossain grew up in Plano, TX, where she still resided at the time of the interview. She talks about experiencing racism as a Muslim student in high school during 9/11 and then again after President Trump was elected. She wanted to attend SMU as an undergraduate student, but it was too expensive. She attended the University of Texas at Dallas, which was much more diverse, where she majored in Psychology and Business. Soon afterwards, she got married and moved to Washington, DC. She moved back to Plano when they had their first son and applied for graduate school. She took her degree in counseling at the SMU-in-Plano location. She also completed a graduate assistantship at the main campus in the Hegi Career Center, where she worked in career counseling, a position she loved, and began her doctorate at SMU. She worked as a graduate assistant for the CIQ@SMU cultural intelligence initiative, which she feels was a good but too general. She believes that although SMU is a predominantly white school, it is diversifying, especially with students from China, India, and Saudi Arabia. Overall, she feels like she fit in at SMU, especially in the doctoral program, and was excited to have an African American professor, Dr. Tealer, at the Simmons School of Education and Human Development. She also describes her mentor for career counseling, Dr. Greta Davis. At the time of the interview she had just graduated and was looking for a position, which was proving to be difficult during the Coronavirus pandemic. Ms. Hossain described the changes in her life due to the pandemic and her hope that things would get better when the virus subsides. She plans to take her license exam and begin a private practice
Bangladeshi New Women’s ‘Smart’ Dressing: Negotiating class, culture and religion
No full textThis chapter places respectable femininity at the centre of the construction and performance of new womanhood among affluent middle-class women of Dhaka, Bangladesh. I study women’s hybrid sartorial practices to investigate how new women merge the boundaries of respectable middle-class Bengali cultural attire of sari and salwar kameez with working-class Islamic religious attire of hijab and upper-class and Western women’s sexualised attires, a hybrid aesthetic practice which I call smart dressing. New women’s practices of smart dressing distinguish them as a symbolic group challenging the boundaries of tradition and modernity, local and global and provide an image of womanhood that is contrary to the poor, uneducated, traditional, bound by religion, sexually constrained and victimised ‘third world woman’
Rethinking New Womanhood: Practices of gender, class, culture and religion in South Asia
Full text linkCovering India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal, Rethinking New Womanhood effectively introduces a ‘new’ wave of gender research from South Asia that resonates with feminist debates around the world. The volume conceptualises ‘new womanhood’ as a complex, heterogeneous and intersectional identity. By deconstructing classification systems and highlighting women’s everyday ongoing negotiations with boundaries of social categories, the book reconfigures the concept of ‘new woman’ as a symbolic identity denoting ‘modern’ femininity at the intersection of gender, class, culture, sexuality and religion in South Asia. The collection maps new sites and expressions on women and gender studies around nationhood, women’s rights, transnational feminist solidarity, ‘new girlhoods ’, aesthetic and sexualised labour, respectability and ‘modernity’, LGBT discourses, domestic violence and ‘new’ feminisms.
The volume will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including gender studies, sociology, education, media and cultural studies, literature, anthropology, history, development studies, postcolonial studies and South Asian studies
Fostering a Personal-is-Political Ethics: Reflexive Conversations in Social Work Education
No full textThis article suggests that interviews about past ethical dilemmas or transgressions can foster ethical skills for navigating interlocking power relations. It shows how narratives claiming relative innocence are widespread and that taking responsibility for personal implication in oppression is crucial for fundamental social and political transformation. Chris is instructor and creator of a social work ethics course; Nazia and Louise are former students. In the second half of the article, Nazia and Louise use their interviews from the class as illustrations of personal-is-political ethical reflexivity. The authors encourage the use of resonant processes in social work ethics education and other pedagogical contexts that politicize everyday ethical navigation
