Coming out to the streets LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness
No full text"Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth are disproportionately represented in the U.S. youth homelessness population. In Coming Out to the Streets, Brandon Andrew Robinson examines their lives. Based on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork in central Texas, Coming Out to the Streets looks into the LGBTQ youth's lives before they experience homelessness--within their families, schools, and other institutions--and later when they navigate the streets, deal with police, and access shelters and other services. Through this documentation, Brandon Andrew Robinson shows how poverty and racial inequality shape the ways that the LGBTQ youth negotiate their gender and sexuality before and while they are experiencing homelessness. To address LGBTQ youth homelessness, Robinson contends that solutions must move beyond blaming families for rejecting their child. In highlighting the voices of the LGBTQ youth, Robinson calls for queer and trans liberation through systemic change.
Case study of the experiences and perspectives of Hispanic immigrant parents of heritage language maintenance and bilingual education in the rural community of Brandon, Manitoba, A
No full textThis study investigated and described the experiences and perspectives of Hispanic immigrant parents on heritage language maintenance and bilingual education in the City of Brandon, Manitoba. Hispanic immigrant parents were interviewed to explore how they perceived and experienced the maintenance of the home language and bilingual education of their children. The study used a qualitative embedded case study methodology (Yin, 2014). Data collection methods included five individual semi-structured interviews and three focus group interviews. Sixteen first-generation Hispanic immigrant parents took part in this study, and they were divided into two subunits of analysis: Colombian, Honduran, and Salvadoran immigrant parents and non-Colombian, Honduran, and Salvadoran immigrant parents. The results of this study reveal that despite the importance that both groups of Hispanic immigrant parents place in their native language as a fundamental core value in their ethnic identity, they perceived a gradual erosion of their children’s home language. Colombian, Salvadoran, and Honduran immigrant parents had more challenges and difficulties in preserving their home language in comparison with Hispanic non-Colombian, Honduran, and Salvadoran immigrant parents. Data suggest that the Colombian, Salvadoran, and Honduran immigrant parents were less aware of the cognitive advantages of bilingualism and heritage language preservation in comparison with the Hispanic non-Colombian, Honduran, and Salvadoran immigrant parents. However, both groups of parents perceived the need to implement heritage and bilingual programs in the school and in the community for supporting their efforts to preserve the home language. Language barriers that parents faced, along with socioeconomic conditions, repercussions of intrafamilial conflicts, separation, and family disruption were factors negatively influencing home language maintenance in children. In summary, this research sought to raise awareness of heritage language maintenance issues that affect the Hispanic immigrants in a rural city of Manitoba. The results confirm that changes in heritage and bilingual policy are needed to support the Hispanic immigrant community in their efforts to maintain the heritage language. Teachers, school personnel, and parents need to develop ‘collaborative power relations’ (Cummins, 2001; Ntelioglou, Fannin, Montanera, and Cummins, 2014) to achieve the outcome of empowering Hispanic immigrant children.

Biographical Information/Historical Information
Ronald Allen "Ron" Robinson was born April 3, 1943, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to
Edgar Fulton "Putt" Robinson and Martha Corinna (nee Reid) Robinson. He attended and
graduated from Glencoe High School in Glencoe, Oklahoma, and then the University of
Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas. At the University of Arkansas, Ron earned a bachelor's
degree in journalism, graduating in 1965, and he also served as editor of the student
newspaper, the Arkansas Traveler. Orville Henry, sports editor of the Arkansas Gazette,
hired Robinson as a stringer to cover Razorback sports. Robinson later studied public
relations at Boston University Graduate School of Public Communications. In the late
1960s, Ron served in the United States Air Force, rising to the rank of captain. He was
awarded a Bronze Star for service in Vietnam and also received the Air Force
Commendation Medal for his support of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969.
While attending college in Fayetteville, Robinson served as an intern at CJRW--the largest
advertising agency in Arkansas, formed by Wayne Cranford, Jim Johnson, Shelby Woods,
and Wayne Woods. In 1970, Robinson joined the firm full-time and remained employed
there until his retirement in 1996. He became chairman and chief executive officer of the
firm. Following retirement, Ron remained "of council" to CJRW and, in 2009, was named
chairman emeritus of the firm.
In 1986, Robinson arranged for the writing and production of "Arkansas, You Run Deep in
Me," written and sung by Robinson's college roommate, Wayland Holyfield. The next year,
the state legislature named the song an official song of the state. In 1993, Robinson was
appointed to the United States Postal Service Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, which
led to fifteen years of involvement in the creation and production of more than 1,750
postage stamp issues. He was named "Business Executive of the Year" by Arkansas
Business and received many other honors and awards for both professional work and
volunteer service. In 2014, the Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) dedicated a $10
million, 315-seat state-of-the-art theater in Little Rock's River Market, naming the venue
Ron Robinson Theater. In 2005, Robinson was honored as a "Distinguished Alumnus" of
the Fulbright College of Arkansas and Sciences of the University of Arkansas. A
scholarship bearing Robinson's name was established for journalism students at the
university.
Robinson was an avid collector of many kinds of items, particularly those with an Arkansas
connection. He amassed nearly 18,000 movie posters, as well as postage stamps, political
memorabilia, and other items. Robinson was a member of the Board of Directors of CALS'
Friends of the Library for three terms, provided pro bono consulting to the library system,
and contributed grants and memorials to CALS as well as material donations, such as 200
movie posters, hundreds of volumes for used book sales, and the items in this collection.
Ron Robinson married Bonnie Bumpers March 23, 1984. They have a son, Reid Robinson,
and two granddaughters. Ron died August 14, 2018. He is buried in Mount Holly Cemetery
in Little Rock. In 2022, the Forest Park Station Post Office on Kavanaugh Avenue in Little
Rock was renamed for Ron Robinson.

Coming out to the streets LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness
No full text"Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth are disproportionately represented in the U.S. youth homelessness population. In Coming Out to the Streets, Brandon Andrew Robinson examines their lives. Based on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork in central Texas, Coming Out to the Streets maps the LGBTQ youth's lives prior to experiencing homelessness-within their families, schools, and other institutions-and while they live on the streets, deal with police, and navigate shelters and services for people experiencing homelessness. Through this documentation, Robinson shows how poverty and racial inequality shape how LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness negotiate their gender and sexuality. Robinson contends that solutions to addressing LGBTQ youth homelessness need to move beyond blaming families for rejecting their child. By highlighting youth's voices, Robinson calls for queer and trans liberation through systemic change"-

Master 3d bosonization duality with boundaries
No full textWe establish the action of the three-dimensional non-Abelian bosonization dualities in the presence of a boundary, which supports a non-anomalous two-dimensional theory. In particular, we generalize a prescriptive method for assigning duality consistent boundary conditions used originally for Abelian dualities to dual non-Abelian Chern-Simons-matter theories with SU and U gauge groups and fundamental matter sectors. The cases of single species matter sectors and those with both scalars and fermions in the dual theories are considered. Generalization of our methods to SO and USp Chern-Simons theories is also discussed.</p
Shifts in regular music programming : engaging grade 3 boys in the singing process
No full textThe purpose of this teacher action research study was to explore how regular music programming in rural South-Central Manitoba could be designed to foster engagement in singing in grade 3 boys. Participants included ten grade 3 boys in two mixed-gender classes of Grade 3 General Music and one mixed gender class of Grade 2/3 General Music. Data sources included two initial surveys, feedback loop sessions, researcher journaling, and peer interviews. Findings indicated the following effective interventions for engaging grade 3 boys in singing: including students in the repertoire selection process, incorporating student interests into the selection of musical repertoire, accompanying songs on the guitar, drums, and piano, and incorporating male role models into the teaching of singing. Other effective interventions included: selecting songs with a strong beat and rhythmic interest, incorporating movement, incorporating singing games, providing opportunities for student creativity, incorporating humour, incorporating current music, choosing songs with appealing texts, and providing opportunities for rhythmic speech. Selecting repertoire that was challenging, but not too challenging, was also found to be an effective intervention.

Exploring improvisation pedagogy based on participatory and M-base characteristics: an action research study
No full textThis action research study explored my personal pedagogy of improvisation through a combined lens of Thomas Turino’s (2008) participatory field of music and the M-base collective. Influenced by the imbalance between performance-based goals and presentational music-making in high school settings and my personal lack of experience teaching improvisation, this study focused on learning how to teach improvisation away from typical educational outcomes such as assessment, curricular outcomes, and presentational values. Four high school students and two post-high school musicians participated in four two-hour sessions which took place at the Bassment in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Through the use of an action research cycle, several key themes emerged based on the participants’ experiences in regards to the purpose, process and reason for teaching improvisation. I came to the following four conclusions based on the actions that occurred during the study: a teacher needs to create attainable levels for successful improvisation; the facilitator role requires time for reflection and practice; participating allowed me to recognize and challenge personal self-doubt around improvisation; and improvisation can thrive in a non-traditional environment through a balance between structure and freedom. The thesis concludes with future recommendations for educators, researchers, and myself.

Central charges of 2d superconformal defects
No full textIn conformal field theories (CFTs) of dimension d > 3, two-dimensional (2d) conformal defects are characterised in part by central charges defined via the defect’s contribution to the trace anomaly. However, in general for interacting CFTs these central charges are difficult to calculate. For superconformal 2d defects in supersymmetric (SUSY) CFTs (SCFTs), we show how to compute these defect central charges from the SUSY partition function either on S
d with defect along S
2, or on S
1× S
d−1 with defect along S
1× S
1. In the latter case we propose that defect central charges appear in an overall normalisation factor, as part of the SUSY Casimir energy. For 2d half-BPS defects in 4d N = 2 SCFTs and in the 6d N = (2, 0) SCFT we obtain novel, exact results for defect central charges using existing results for partition functions computed using SUSY localisation, SUSY indices, and correspondences to 2d Liouville, Toda, and q-deformed Yang-Mills theories. Some of our results for defect central charges agree with those obtained previously via holography, showing that the latter are not just large-N and/or strong- coupling limits, but are exact. Our methods can be straightforwardly extended to other superconformal defects, of various codimension, as we demonstrate for a 4d defect in the 6d N = (2, 0) SCFT.
