In her new book Inside Private Prisons: An American Dilemma in the Age of Mass Incarceration (Columbia University Press, 2017), Lauren-Brooke Eisen explain how, when and why the for-profit prison system emerged, the ways in which it functions throughout the criminal justice system today, and what we might do to improve it
OAC Brooke Soybean

The Deconstruction of Racial Identity in Christine Brooke-Rose’s *Out*
No full text*Out*, published in 1964, inaugurates Brooke-Rose's first experimental tetralogy, marking a new phase in the author's career. The scope of this article is to assess the value the novel assumes in Brooke-Rose's production as a whole, focusing in particular on the deconstructive effort the author exhibits in this first, perhaps slightly tentative, experimental text
Understanding men's body image in the context of their romantic relationships
No full textThis study examined men's body image in the context of their romantic relationships. One hundred and four heterosexual romantic dyads completed measures assessing men's body satisfaction, perceptions of men's weight change, relationship length, and sexual intimacy. Researchers also collected measures of men's height and weight. Results indicated that men's body satisfaction was negatively associated with both their actual weight status (BMI) and their perception of their weight gain during the relationship; men were more likely to be satisfied with their bodies when they perceived their partners to be and when their partners actually were satisfied with their bodies. Further analyses revealed that men expressed greater body satisfaction when there was a relatively high degree of sexual intimacy in the relationship. Findings are discussed in terms of the contributions to researchers' and practitioners' understanding of men's body satisfaction.M.A.Includes bibliographical references (p. 21-23)by Laura Brooke GoinsIncludes abstrac

Reflection and Takeaway: The Heart and Soul of Memoir (Brooke Warner): Memoir is more than just a story of what happened to you. Its heart and soul lies in two elements of craft that every memoirist needs to have a firm handle on: reflection and takeaway. Most beginning memoirists are so focused on the plot of their story that they forget that readers love memoir for what it says about the human condition, for its capacity to help us understand something about the world we live in or about ourselves. Reflection requires you to stop your narrative and answer the question, “What sense do I make of this part of my story?” Takeaway asks you write about your thoughts and impressions on your subject matter, to delve deeper into your experience and your message and to be a wise voice for your reader. In this session, Brooke Warner, publisher of She Writes Press and author of three books on memoir, will address reflection and takeaway and show you exactly how to implement this kind of writing into your memoir, complete with examples from published works. You’ll leave knowing how to tap into the heart of your memoir and to connect with your reader on a whole new level.https://ecommons.udayton.edu/ebww_eckstein/1005/thumbnail.jp
The ‘Difficult’ Relationship: Christine Brooke-Rose, Catholicism and Muriel Spark
No full textChristine Brooke-Rose has often been regarded by critics and readers alike as
‘difficult’ in the sense that her work seems to deliberately elude classification
and definitive labels. This tendency to eschew categorisation with her writing
has been well documented in academic criticism; however, most critics have
failed to recognise the displacement in her life as a contributory factor
informing the nature of her work. This essay considers Brooke-Rose’s
development as a writer through a biographical lens, not to reduce her to her
own experiences but rather to highlight her extraordinary life and the way
that it has impacted upon her work. This essay focusses upon her early
development as an author during the 1950s using the friendship she
established with Muriel Spark during this period and her frequent negotiation
of Catholicism as important biographical touchstones in an effort to enhance
the reader’s understanding of Brooke-Rose’s early development as an author.
It uses archival material alongside excepts from her novels to align the
author’s work with her biographical experiences. This is by no means a full
critical depiction of Brooke-Rose’s life or her relationship to Catholicism, but it
serves as an introduction to both in order to go some way towards
‘demystifying her origins’
Christine Brooke-Rose: motes, beams and the horse’s mouth
No full textThe founding of the Christine Brooke-Rose Society and its inaugural event prompted me to revisit my history with the author with whom I was fortunate enough to correspond during the last decade of her life. Our correspondence ran alongside my completing a PhD, gaining full-time employment as an academic, getting married, becoming a father and publishing a monograph and a number of articles, including over twenty-five thousand words of criticism on Brooke-Rose’s work. During the same time Brooke-Rose was working on her late novels and her last book of criticism, contending with accumulating illness and disability and the approach of the ultimate, end of. Our contact focused on Thru, the novel that sets itself at the intersection of the critical and the creative in an academic environment and a text she herself was already retrospectively revisiting at this time in the article that became chapter five of Invisible Author: Last Essays.1 This essay draws on that correspondence to consider Brooke-Rose’s relationship to academic criticism as a critic and novelist, the ways in which those overlapping identities affected each other and, with reference to Thru, to suggest how her work in both fields offers significant insights and opportunities relevant to both contemporary critical thought and literary practice
Astronomical Applications Of New Line Lists For Cn, C2 And Their Isotopologues
No full textFor cool stellar and substellar objects, atomic lines weaken, and detailed elemental and isotopic abundances are often derived from molecular absorption features. We have embarked on a project to provide molecular line lists by combining experimental observations for line positions with ab initio calculations for line strengths. So far we have results for MgH (A-X and B-X transitions)\footnote{E. GharibNezhad, A. Shayesteh and P. F. Bernath, Mon. Notices R. Astro. Soc. 432, 2043-2047 (2013)}\footnote{K. H. Hinkle, L.

Applications to the spectra of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars, the K-giant Arcturus, the metal-rich open cluster NGC 6791, the Sun and comets will be presented.Made available in DSpace on 2014-09-17T16:56:06Z (GMT).
