Decreto contra los abusos en los repartimientos de Nueva Vizcaya y Sinaloa, 1746 octubre 31
No full textCopia contemporánea de un decreto virreinal contra los abusos en los repartimientos de indígenas en el Reino de Nueva Vizcaya y la Provincia de Sinaloa. El virrey señala que los asentamientos de las misiones, especialmente las misiones de Zimapán, están vacantes debido a que los hacenderos y mineros españoles constantemente toman a los indígenas como trabajadores sin pago. Entre estas comunidades estaban los tarahumaras/rarámuri (congregados en la Misión Tomochi). El virrey ordena al gobernador asentar a los indígenas en los pueblos; dar a cada pueblo cierto número de tierras; establecer escuelas; determinar el número de indígenas que aún deben ser congregados; limitar el tiempo que los españoles pueden retener a los trabajadores indígenas (1 mes); investigar y enjuiciar el abuso del español; reformar el sistema de repartimiento que proporciona mano de obra para las minas, incluyendo ancianos indígenas y misioneros en su gestión; y proporcionar periódicamente un censo de la población regional. —— Contemporary copy of a viceregal decree against abuses in the repartimientos of Indigenous people in the Kingdom of New Biscay and the Province of Sinaloa. The viceroy notes that mission settlements, especially the missions of Zimapán, are vacant due to the Spanish farmers and miners constantly taking the Indigenous as laborers without payment. Among these communities were the Tarahumara/Rarámuri, which were congregated in Tomochi Mission. The Viceroy orders the governor to settle the Indigenous in towns; give each town a certain number of lands; establish schools; determine the number of Indigenous people that still need to be settled; limit the time the Spanish can keep Indigenous laborers (1 month); investigate and prosecute Spanish abuse; reform the repartimiento system that provides labor for mines, including Indigenous elders and mission friars in its management; and periodically provide a census of the regional population. 21 f.

Multiracial college students and mentoring: an intersectional perspective
No full text2016 Summer.Includes bibliographical references.The purpose of this mixed-methods, sequential, explanatory study was to investigate differences in the mentor preferences of first-year college students in terms of their multiple identities, with a focus on the experiences of those who self-identified as multiracial. Using a framework of intersectionality, the importance of social identities (race, gender, sexual orientation, first-generation and socioeconomic status) to first-year students in their ideal mentor was explored. During the first phase, responses from first-year college students at four different universities were analyzed from an adapted version of the Ideal Mentor Scale (Rose, 1999). In the second phase, two follow-up focus groups were conducted with multiracial college students, which helped to further inform and explain the quantitative results. Of the three IMS subscales, quantitative results indicated that multiracial college students prefer a mentor who demonstrated characteristics related to the construct of Integrity. However, open-ended survey questions and focus-group data provided evidence for mentor preferences that were more aligned with the Relationship construct. Statistically significant differences were found only for the variables of sexual orientation and first-generation and socioeconomic status, with no significant interaction effects of any of the variables with multiracial identity. The quantitative and qualitative findings from the two phases of the study are discussed using an intersectional lens, with reference to prior research. Implications and recommendations are provided
Testimonios of leadership: experiences of queer Chicana/Latina administrators in higher education
No full text2019 Fall.Includes bibliographical references.The purpose of this study was to examine the leadership experiences of out, queer, Chicana/Latina higher education administrators. These professionals are not only underrepresented numerically, they are also often the only one—or one of few—in their departments or divisions. Grounded in critical race theory, LatCrit, and Chicana Feminist Epistemology, this study conceptualized the ways in which the participants navigated and negotiated their experiences of oppression. The methods of testimonio and pláticas were used to gather the data in a way that also included my own experiences and perspectives as the researcher in a reflexive process. The findings not only reflected the real consequences of oppression for these participants, but the dynamic ways in which they consistently addressed the isms and phobias they faced. Using Anzaldúa's (2015) Coyolxauhqui Imperative as a guide, the two main themes identified were: (1) unmaking: the sources of fragmentation and (2) making and remaking. The sources of fragmentation themes illuminate the many ways in which the participants' lives and experiences were fragmented by oppression and the subthemes included: the labor of oppression parkour and consequences for living and leading from a place of authenticity. The making and remaking themes refer to how similar to the the Coyolxauhqui Imperative, these participants addressed the fragmenting experiences through rebuilding and the subthemes included: thriving in nepantla and intentional healing for nos/otras. The testimonios of the participants offer insights to how to create new, more equitable realities in higher education and leadership via their transformative and iterative process of critical liberatory praxis
Catecholaminergic connectivity to the inner ear, central auditory, and vocal motor circuitry in the plainfin midshipman fish porichthys notatus
No full textAuthor Posting. © John Wiley & Sons, 2014. This is the author's version of the work. It is posted here by permission of John Wiley & Sons for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Journal of Comparative Neurology 522 (2014): 2887-2927, doi:10.1002/cne.23596.Although the neuroanatomical distribution of catecholaminergic
(CA) neurons has been well documented across all
vertebrate classes, few studies have examined CA connectivity
to physiologically and anatomically identified neural
circuitry that controls behavior. The goal of this study was
to characterize CA distribution in the brain and inner ear
of the plainfin midshipman fish (Porichthys notatus) with
particular emphasis on their relationship with anatomically
labeled circuitry that both produces and encodes social
acoustic signals in this species. Neurobiotin labeling of the
main auditory end organ, the saccule, combined with tyrosine
hydroxylase immunofluorescence (TH-ir) revealed a
strong CA innervation of both the peripheral and central
auditory system. Diencephalic TH-ir neurons in the periventricular
posterior tuberculum, known to be dopaminergic,
send ascending projections to the ventral telencephalon and prominent descending projections to
vocal–acoustic integration sites, notably the hindbrain
octavolateralis efferent nucleus, as well as onto the base
of hair cells in the saccule via nerve VIII. Neurobiotin backfills
of the vocal nerve in combination with TH-ir revealed
CA terminals on all components of the vocal pattern generator,
which appears to largely originate from local TH-ir
neurons but may include input from diencephalic projections
as well. This study provides strong neuroanatomical
evidence that catecholamines are important modulators of
both auditory and vocal circuitry and acoustic-driven social
behavior in midshipman fish. This demonstration of TH-ir
terminals in the main end organ of hearing in a nonmammalian
vertebrate suggests a conserved and important
anatomical and functional role for dopamine in normal
audition.National Institutes of Health; Grant number:

Sense of place: Latinx/o men's sense of belonging in a Latinx cultural center at a predominantly White institution
No full text2019 Summer.Includes bibliographical references.The purpose of this study is to examine the role of a Latinx cultural center in facilitating the sense of belonging of Latinx/o men at a predominantly White institution. This study examines how Latinx/o men perceive, experience, and participate in cultural centers, specifically from an ecological viewpoint. This research examines the Latinx cultural center through a critical cultural ethnography. Using critical race theory and Latino critical theory (LatCrit) this study interrogates the hierarchy of learning environment purposes to understand the factors associated with sense of belonging for Latinx/o men at a predominantly White institution. Participant photo elicitation interviewing is employed to produce visual elements and in-depth participant interviews. Four themes emerged from this study: (a) political safety during the bad hombre era; (b) shedding machismo: emotional vulnerability; (c) person-environment congruence; and (d) Latinx cultural center as a counter narrative. Recommendations for Latinx cultural centers and institutions of higher education are discussed as well as recommendations for future study
