Interview Excerpt of Ms. Claudette Colvin
No full textIn 1955, Claudette Colvin was a student attending Booker T. Washington High School in Montgomery, Alabama. As a fifteen-year-old Colvin refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus to a White woman on March 2, 1955. Over nine months before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus, Colvin was arrested, handcuffed, escorted off the bus and then jailed. Colvin then agreed to became one of the four plaintiffs in the Browder v. Gayle case that ended segregation on Montgomery buses. The Claudette Colvin interview was recorded at the Renaissance Hotel in Montgomery, Alabama on April 25, 2018
Calum Colvin: The Magic Box
No full textArtist Calum Colvin introduces his new exhibition, The Magic Box, which is an archaeology of his practice from the last 25 years. The exhibition will feature image transparencies from the early 1980s, new prints created at Edinburgh Printmakers, and an installation of Colvin's photography studio, which will be in use when Colvin photographs Scottish author Janice Galloway.The Magic Box is on at Edinburgh Printmakers, until the 6th September 2014.

Replication Data for: The role of conflict framing and social identity in public opinion about land use change: An experimental test in the Australian context
No full textThis data set is available for replication and/or new use of the data analysed in Colvin et al. (2020). The study collected data on public opinion (levels of support or opposition) about 12 fictitious land use change proposals from a large, quota sample of the Australian public (n = 1,147). The 12 land use change proposals were across mining, conservation, farming, and fishing. All scenarios were presented in three conditions: no conflict (neutral description), some conflict (conflict framing), and high conflict (conflict framing including the identity of the groups engaged in the conflict). Each participant was randomly allocated to one of the three conditions. To each land use change scenario, participants responded with how much they would support or oppose the land use change proposal (scale of −10 to 10) and how much conflict they felt was associated with the proposal (scale of 0 to 10). We also measured the level of identification with the relevant land use change sectors (miners, environmentalists, farmers, and fishers) and the four major Australian political parties (Liberal Party, Labor Party, The Greens, and The Nationals) using a pictorial identity elicitation tool (adapted from Schubert and Otten 2002 in Self and Identity) to assess whether identification with groups would predict polarisation. A measure of decision‐making style was included to account for different ways of processing information, that is, how much information people seek when making decisions, along with general demographic questions.

Culture and religion
No full textCulture is the result of, and is itself expressed through, religion, language, institutions and history. Culture is persistent but does change slowly over time. Religion is either one manifestation of culture or itself shapes that culture. This chapter discusses recent contributions to the economics of culture and religion, a literature which was instigated by economic historians and has long been dominated by their work. Its author especially focuses on the role of culture and religion in engendering industrial progress and institutional change

The power of words in the journalism of war
No full textMitjançant l’explicació de les principals vivències com a corresponsal de guerra, Colvin estudia el que suposa per a una dona treballar en un món clarament masculí. En primer lloc reflexiona sobre la composició dels seus reportatges: de quina manera la redacció dels seus articles esdevé una escriptura compromesa. La periodista reflexiona també sobre la manera de redactar els reportatges de guerra segons el gènere del seu autor. En segon lloc, repensa també la situació laboral i social de les dones dins el periodisme, i més concretament dins el periodisme de guerra.Through descriptions of her personal experiences as a war correspondent, Colvin reflects upon the expectations of women workers in a field clearly dominated by men. Firstly, she considers her own field writing and the way in which she becomes committed to the people of her correspondences. She looks at how war reports are written differently depending on the gender of the author. Secondly, Colvin deliberates on the social and labour situations of women in journalism and, more specifically, in war journalism
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
