Functional Foods Research Group: Sunil Panchal
No full textObesity as part of metabolic syndrome is a major lifestyle disorder throughout the world. Current drug treatments for obesity produce small and usually unsustainable decreases in body weight with the risk of major adverse effects. Surgery has been the only treatment producing successful long-term weight loss. As a different but complementary approach, lifestyle modification including the use of functional foods could produce a reliable decrease in obesity with decreased comorbidities. Our research includes functional foods such as berries, vegetables, fibre-enriched grains and beverages such as tea and coffee. Our studies also focus on development of animal models of inflammatory diseases such inflammatory bowel disease, chronic kidney disease and arthritis. These models are then used to investigate the effects of functional foods in attenuation of these disorders
Sunil Gulab
Get PDFSunil Gulab is an artist, environmental scientist, and community organizer who has been an active member of the Lynn community for more than two decades. Born in Harare and raised in Chivhu, Gulab occupied an “in-between” space as an ethnic Indian in the apartheid state of Zimbabwe. He attended Huntington College in Montgomery, Alabama, where he encountered an eerily similar racial system that separated blacks from whites. After college, he moved to Jamaica Plain, where he worked as an au pair for a lesbian couple. As he grew comfortable expressing his gay identity, he eventually made his way to Lynn, a city for which he has enormous respect and affection. He attended several gay bars but was most at home at 47 Central. He served for ten years as a mentor for NAGLY (The North Shore Alliance for GLBTQ+ Youth), during which time he received his MBA from Boston College. His interview discussed racial systems of power, identity politics, and generational differences in the LGBTQ+ community
Image critique and the fall of the Berlin Wall
No full textAlthough we are now accustomed to watching history unfold live on the air, the fall of the Berlin Wall was one of the first instances when history was produced on television. Inspired by the Wall and its powerful resonances, Sunil Manghani’s breakthrough study presents the new critical concept of “image critique,” a method of critiquing images while simultaneously using them as a means to engage with contemporary culture. Manghani examines current debates surrounding visual culture, ranging from such topics as Francis Fukuyama’s end of history thesis to metapictures and East German film. The resulting volume is an exhilarating interweaving of history, politics, and visual cultur

Plurality, Identity, Democracy, Globalization... A conversation with Sunil Khilnani
Get PDFabstract
Rossella Ciocca interviews Sunil Khilnani author of the much appraised The Idea of India: one of the best non-fictional introductions to the complexities of politics in contemporary India. The strengths and weaknesses of present-day uneven modernity are discussed around a few strategic topics. First of all plurality, which in its linguistic, cultural, religious, ethnic variety has been vindicated since Independence as a foundational value, is seen as the quintessential resource for achosen practice of syncretism but also in danger of becoming the very source of fragmentation and implosion in a country increasingly maimed by fundamentalism and fanaticism. Democracy is then interrogated between the comfortable perspective of the firmly established and normally operating mechanisms of democratic routine, on the one hand, and the flawsof a still dramatically unjust system of distribution of rights and opportunities, on the other. Identity politics is in turn analysed both in its positive action of mobilizing society around the problem of social upgrading and in its unwelcome side effects of increasing practices of rigid and restricted classification fomenting division and violent sectarianism. In the end Indian growing cultural appeal upon the globalized scene is questioned in its complex relationship with the country’s quest for a role of protagonist in political as well as economic affairs upon a new multilateral international stage
