A History of Domestic Work and Worker Organizing
No full textThis timeline is the central tool for the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) “We Make History” political education curriculum. History helps us to understand current conditions, learn from the courage and resilience of our movement ancestors, and continue to build a powerful, multiracial alliance grounded in a shared commitment to combating all forms of oppression.
This timeline was written by activist-scholars Jennifer Guglielmo, Michelle Joffroy, and Diana Sierra Becerra, to make the histories of domestic work & organizing more accessible to domestic workers and the public. It began in Summer 2015, as a collaboration between Jennifer Guglielmo (Associate Professor of History, Smith College) and Monique Tú Nguyen (Executive Director of Matahari Women Workers Center and Board Member of the National Domestic Workers Alliance) at the Gloria Steinem and Wilma Mankiller School for Organizers. The school brought organizers, activists, and academics together to consider how history and archives can become more powerful organizing tools for the contemporary feminist movement

L'Œuvre sans fin. Réception des romans de Monique Saint-Hélier par la critique française (1932-1955)
No full textMonique Saint-Hélier became quite successful during the 1930s in particular because of the violent controversy that surrounded her second novel, Bois-Mort. How is it that Saint-Hélier’s work provoked such passionate criticism, but encountered nothing but disinterest after the war? Studying unpublished sources as well as a vast corpus of book reviews, the author explores by this quite particular literary path, as well as the variations in how a work is received over time.Monique Saint-Hélier (1895-1955) connaît le succès dans les années trente en France, grâce notamment à la violente polémique que suscite son deuxième roman, Bois-Mort (1934). Pourtant, dès les années cinquante, la romancière disparaît durablement de l’histoire littéraire française. Pourquoi les romans de Monique Saint-Hélier déchaînent-ils les passions critiques, puis ne rencontrent-ils plus que le désintérêt après la Seconde Guerre mondiale? Comment expliquer le silence éditorial de près de vingt ans qui sépare la publication des ouvrages des années trente de ceux des années cinquante, alors même que ces romans appartiennent à un même ensemble narratif? Fondée sur des sources inédites et un vaste corpus de comptes rendus, l’étude de la réception critique de l’œuvre de Monique Saint-Hélier en France apporte des réponses aux nombreuses questions soulevées par cette trajectoire particulière. Malgré toute sa singularité, ce parcours permet également une réflexion plus générale sur les variations de la réception d'une œuvre à des époques différentes

No full textAn exploration of how playwright, Dael Orlandersmith uses narrative, performance, and the creation of imaginary worlds as a means to investigate the socialization and coping methods of inn-city African American adolescences. The research will accumlate into a theatrical production
Estimating health over space and time: a review of spatial microsimulation applied to public health
No full textThere is an ongoing demand for data on population health, for reasons of resource allocation, future planning and crucially to address inequalities in health between people and between populations. Although there are regular sources of data at coarse spatial scales, such as countries or large sub-national units such as states, there is often a lack of good quality health data at the local level. One method to develop reliable estimates of population health outcomes is spatial microsimulation, an approach that has its roots in economic studies. Here, we share a review of this method for estimating health in populations, explaining the different approaches available and examples where the method is applied successfully for creating both static and dynamic populations. Recent notable advances in the method that allow uncertainty to be represented are highlighted, along with the evolving approaches to validation that are an ongoing challenge in small-area estimation. The summary serves as a primer for academics new to the area of research as well as an overview for non-academic researchers who consider using these models for policy evaluations
Reducing actuator switchings for motion control of autonomous underwater vehicles
No full textA priority when designing control strategies for autonomous underwater vehicles is to emphasize their cost of implementation on a real vehicle. Indeed, the major issue is that due to the vehicles' design and actuation modes usually under consideration for underwater platforms, the number of actuator switchings must be kept to a small value to ensure feasibility and precision. This constraint is typically not satisfied by optimal trajectories, for instance. Our goal is to provide a trajectory which preserves with great accuracy some of the properties of a desired trajectory that reduces the implementation cost. We first introduce the theoretical framework and illustrate our algorithm on two AUV applications. In both cases, we can achieve similar localization results in the same fixed time with respect to the reference trajectory, but with significantly fewer actuator switchings
Passive Tactile Feedback Facilitates Mental Rotation of Handheld Objects
No full textMental rotation of objects improves when passive tactile information for the rotating object accompanies the imagined rotation (Wraga, Creem, & Proffitt, 2000). We examined this phenomenon further using a within-subjects paradigm involving handheld objects. In Experiment 1, participants imagined rotating an unseen object placed on their upturned palms. The participants were faster at mental rotation when the object was rotated on their palm than when the object remained stationary. Experiment 2 tested whether the performance advantage would endure when the participants received tactile information for only the start- and endpoints of the rotation event. This manipulation did not improve performance, relative to a stationary control. Experiment 3 revealed that ambiguous tactile information, continuous with the rotation event but independent of object shape, actually degraded performance, relative to a stationary control. In Experiment 4, we found that continuous tactile rotation discrepant from imagined object movement also hindered performance, as compared with continuous tactile information aligned with imagined object movement. The findings suggest a tight coupling between tactile information specifying continuous object rotation and the corresponding internal representation of the rotating object.
