Beverly Lorraine Wright
Get PDFIn this interview, Beverly Lorraine Wright is the guest. She discusses her childhood in Redlands, discrimination, and community activism. Born in 1955 in San Diego, Wright mentions that her family moved to the diverse and multiethnic Carlotta Courta area of Redlands. Wright had a wonderful childhood in the tight knight community where everyone looked out for each other. After talking about faith and how her mother was Baptist and her father Catholic, the interviewee goes on her discussion of school. She said that she was in the third grade when John F. Kennedy was assassinated and talked about strict teachers like Amos Isaac who brought cultural awareness to students. One time, the Black Panthers had arrived to her junior high school to teach about academic resources for students but later the schools separated the Black students from others during lunch. Wright considered this one of the first instances of racism she encountered. Wright also said that she was in theater and that actually made her aware of political issues in her time. The interviewee discussed being able to go to occasional Black Panther meetings in San Bernardino and had been in the Black Student Union and in cheerleading. She also later joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People while working in the county’s health department. Wright’s son was also in the NAACP and had the role of president at the time of the recording. The woman talks about issues with police that the NAACP dealt with and even took the school district to court. When being asked about her feelings about living during the COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement, Wright says she is disappointed at the lack of a plan. She then spoke about her message to younger generations, which was that listening is important. The interview ends with a brief finish to the recording where Wright recollects important community leaders like Ms. Dimery and how she and other leaders fought for a more inclusive community. There is also a mention of the Teen Post and the jobs that youth had in her time and city

Mapping connections through co-publications. The IMPACT initiative at ‘Lorraine University of Excellence’ in France
No full textInternational audienceIn an era defined by interconnectedness and the pursuit of solutions to complex global challenges, research collaboration has emerged as a cornerstone of innovation and progress. Understanding the dynamics of co-publications can provide valuable evidence for demonstrating the societal relevance and impact of interdisciplinary research, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of grant proposals and research initiatives. This study examines the extent of connections in co-publications under the IMPACT initiative at “Lorraine Université d’Excellence”, France, over the period 2016-2024. The aim of the IMPACT framework was to fund projects with a high scientific added-value. Many of the research topics addressed within the IMPACT Initiative, such as environmental sustainability, public health, and social inequalities, were indeed of global significance. Utilizing bibliometric data from HAL and OpenAlex databases, we provide insights into the collaborative networks and disciplinary integration within these projects, taking a particular interest in co-publications as a means to study: (i) co-authorship of papers (individual level), (ii) multi-laboratory collaborations (institutional level), (iii) interdisciplinarity in research teams. Our study underscores the increasing number of multi-laboratory and multi-author publications as well as the diversity of disciplines involved. However, it also points to the limitations and challenges of this interdisciplinarity. The role of humanities and social sciences (HSS) in collaborative research endeavors is also discussed
Lorraine Hansberry and the drama of human affirmation, 1973
No full textThe primary intent of this thesis is to explore Lorraine Hansberry's dramatic efforts in order to illuminate some aspects of her artistic endeavor, with particular emphasis on the discovery of her assessment of human nature. An attempt has also been made to relate that assessment to her literary creed. The plays are analyzed through a discussion of plots, characters and themes. An examination of these three elements of the drama shows how Miss Hansberry used this medium as a vehicle for affirming the human possibilities and positive potential of all mankind. The primary sources were Lorraine Hansberry's five plays: A Raisin in the Sun, The Sign in Sidney Brusteins Window, Les Blancs, The Drinking Gourd, and What Use are Flowers? Secondary sources included critical reviews of the stage production of the plays and articles written about Miss Hansberry as an artist
