Reflection of Sofia Quintero, Dia de los Muertos Celebration, November 1, 2014
No full textThis reflection of life of Sofia Quintero was written for a Dia de los Muertos Celebration on November 1, 2014. Anita Barrientos Mauter recollects meeting Sofia in 1972 at the University of Toledo. They, along with other students, formed the first chapter of MECHA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) in Toledo, Ohio. After recognition as an official student organization and fundraising efforts, MECHA established a scholarship fund to empower other people in the Hispanic community to pursue a university education. MECHA is now known as the Latino Student Union

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells

Producing a 'space of dignity': knitting together space and dignity in the EZLN rebellion in Mexico
No full textI explore the production of new political, cultural and economic spaces (including the Zapatista Rebel Territory, Rebel Autonomous Municipalities, Caracoles and Juntas) constructed by the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN), an indigenous rebellion in the Mexican state of Chiapas that rose up against the government on January 1, 1994. These spaces are articulated as a symbol of and material basis for sustaining the long-term resistance begun by the EZLN to demand a 'space of dignity' for the indigenous peoples.
Based on the major stages in the EZLN's political practice from 1994 to 2003 --the Declarations of the Lacandona Jungle, the declaration of the Zapatista Rebel Territory, and current phase of Good Government--I discuss further how a 'space of dignity' can be conceptually defined, how it can be socially produced, and how it can be a means for social transformation.
My approach to the Zapatista struggle sheds a light not only on the resulting relationships between space, dignity and resistance, but it looks forward to the meaning these concepts and relationships have for understanding the nature of the Zapatista rebellion and the contribution of this experience within the larger context of the production of space in capitalism.
I conclude that the notion of a 'space of dignity' can provide an abstract framework to reflect on the possibilities for thinking of space as a means for revolutionary transformation, namely for organized resistance against neoliberal globalization. And that for the Zapatista rebellion, the practical meaning of this ultimate goal has resulted in the re-signification of the notion of dignity--both as a cultural and geographical framework--from which to think and construct spaces for defending autonomy and territory for the indigenous peoples of Mexico.
This research is focused around a case study using qualitative research methodologies, combining ethnographic and archival sources with extensive fieldwork, conducted in 2002 and 2004 in the EZLN rebel territories.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 218-230)by Claudia Villegas Delgad
