Dendroglaciological Evidence for a Neoglacial Advance of the Saskatchewan Glacier, Banff National Park, Canadian Rocky Mountains
No full textSeventeen glacially sheared stumps in growth position and abundant detrital wood fragments were exposed by stream avulsion at the terminus of the Saskatchewan Glacier in 1999. The stumps lay buried beneath the glacier and over 5 m of glacial sediment until historical recession and stream incision exposed the 225- to 262-year-old stand of subalpine fir, Englemann spruce and whitebark pine trees. Crossdating and construction of two radiocarbon-controlled floating tree-ring chronologies showed that all the subfossil stumps and boles exposed at this location were killed during a Neoglacial advance of the Saskatchewan Glacier 2,910 ± 60 to 2,730 ± 60 ¹⁴C years B.P. These findings support the Peyto Advance as a regional glaciological response to changing mass balance conditions.This item is part of the Tree-Ring Research (formerly Tree-Ring Bulletin) archive.

Intimacy Unguarded: Chris Kraus
No full textThe Central Saint Martins research project 'Intimacy Unguarded', run by Emma Talbot and Dr Jo Morra, hosted a visit to Central Saint Martins by United States author Chris Kraus. Kraus is a highly respected writer (I Love Dick, Summer of Hate, Aliens and Anorexia etc) and editor of the semi-texte series 'Native Agents'. In this event, Kraus gave a reading from 'I Love Dick' and was then interviewed by Emma Talbot, to a live public audience.
'Intimacy Unguarded' also ran a seminar called 'Write A Letter To Chris Kraus'. Mirroring the format for the celebrated book 'I Love Dick', in which Kraus uses the letter as a way of addressing a particular figure (with whom she is obsessed) whilst simultaneously unpacking her own personal thoughts and research, participants were invited to 'Write a Letter To Chris Kraus'.
Chris Kraus was present at the seminar, where letters were read aloud and Kraus was the first respondent. Those taking part were from Raven Row, CSM BAFA, MAFA and Afterall. An excerpt from Kraus's book and a selection of the letters will be published in the June 2017n issue of Journal of Visual Art Practice, to be guest-edited by Talbot and Morra
Responding to Literature Through Student–Author Interviews: Eighth-Grade Students Challenge Chris Crowe’s Mississippi Trial, 1955
Full text linkThis study explores virtual, student–author interviews eighth-grade students led with Chris Crowe in response to his young adult novel Mississippi Trial, 1955. The opportunity to interview the author motivated students to read the novel. Through their text-world development, students connected with the fictional and nonfictional characters, Hiram Hillburn and Emmett Till, respectively. Through their critical reader-responses, students sought truth about Emmett Till’s case as they questioned Crowe about the choices he made as an author and researcher, which supported students’ understanding of character development and historical significance of Emmett Till’s case. Crowe’s answers to the students’ critical questions were not easy, but through the student–author interview preparation and implementation process, participants captured a shared understanding of Emmett Till’s case and how its connection to the U.S. civil rights movement impacted history and is pertinent today. Ultimately, this article advocates for reader-response pedagogy to include virtual or in-person student–author interviews

'We always come here': investigating the social in social learning
Full text linkThis paper investigates student choices around the 'Third Space' for learning; that which is not either a teaching space or a private space. In mapping the use of such spaces around the University of Northampton's campuses and through the use of semi-structured interviews with students as they use the spaces it constructs a model to help understand why students choose a particular space to work in and influence decisions in the deliberate creation of such spaces in future.
The research shows four, often overlapping, influences on student choice of space; resources, environment, social and emotional. That resource rich spaces that allow social interaction and learning to take place in attractive environments are popular should not be surprising but it is the emotional response to space that is of particular interest. Space attachment theory has usually centred on home or places with religious or national symbolism. This paper identifies an element of emotional resonance to areas of the university campus, especially the library, that will warrant further research

Six of his paratroopers were killed in action. After his success in Afghanistan, Colonel Kolenda participated in Taliban peace talks during the Obama administration and again in 2017 as a civilian in conjunction with Pugwash, an NGO that "seeks a world free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction." After his military career, he began his consulting business, where he helps leaders and organizations bridge the gap between their performance and potential.
