Breen gave a talk titled “Queer Translations: Prime-Stevenson’s Imre (1906) and The Intersexes (1908) and the Emergence of Homosexual Identity”. This talk was from the event German Discovery of Sex: Medicine, Activism, Literature which took place on April 16, 2011 as part of the Henry J. Leir Chair Programming for the 2010-2011 season. Robert Tobin was the Henry J. Leir Chair from 2008 up until his passing in 2022.

The tobin tax: A review of the evidence
No full textAbstract: The debate about the Tobin Tax, and other financial transaction taxes (FTT), gives rise to strong views both for and against. Unfortunately, little of this debate is based on the now considerable body of evidence about the impact of such taxes. This review attempts to synthesise what we know from the available theoretical and empirical literature about the impact of FTTs on volatility in financial markets. We also review the literature on how a Tobin Tax might be implemented, the amount of revenue that it might realistically produce, and the likely incidence of the tax. We conclude that, contrary to what is often assumed, a Tobin Tax is feasible and, if appropriately designed, could make a significant contribution to revenue without causing major distortions. However, it would be unlikely to reduce market volatility and could even increase it.

Sexuality and Textuality (Fall 1999) (Whitman College)
No full textThis course was taught by Robert Tobin at Whitman College. Professor Tobin worked at Whitman for 18 years as associate dean of the faculty and chair of the humanities, and was named Cushing Eells Professor of the Humanities. Several of the courses he developed at Whitman would make the transition to Clark, where they continued to evolve.
Sexuality and Textuality seeks to examine the ways in which sexuality has an effect upon literary texts. It questions whether an author\u27s sexuality affects their writing, whether a reader\u27s sexuality affects their reading, and to what extent one can analyze the sexuality of literary characters or even works. Along these lines, it will ask whether it is fair to try to determine from a literary text whether its author is gay or not, or whether one can say that a particular work or aesthetic is in some way queer . At the same time, however, it will ask whether textuality , broadly defined as verbal constructions, affects sexuality. Can one say that certain linguistic, rhetorical, and literary formulations have changed and altered sexuality
Star clusters in the triangulum galaxy: star cluster catalog and mass function fitting
No full texthonors thesisCollege of SciencePhysics & AstronomyAnil SethWe construct a catalog of star clusters in the Triangulum Galaxy (M33). The catalog is the result of the Local Group Cluster Search (LGCS) citizen science project through Zooniverse, where users classify images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We base our star cluster catalog on the fraction of the 60 users that viewed each image who identified each object as a star cluster. We derive the completeness of the catalog from analyzing 1700 synthetic clusters to determine detection limits, as well as comparing our results to previous catalogs in the literature. By weighting Zooniverse users based on how many objects they classified as star clusters that were in fact star clusters, we improve catalog completeness. The catalog improves upon previous ground based catalogs extending the catalog by approximately 1300 clusters, providing base data for further research into star formation in M33. Using the star cluster catalog, we measure the cluster mass function for 290 young star clusters in M33 whose ages and masses were derived through integrated light spectral energy distribution fitting. Our mass function fitting uses a probabilistic Markov chain Monte Carlo technique. Although fits to integrated light observations lead to larger uncertainties than from other methods, a majority of extragalactic star cluster samples rely on integrated light fitting. We compare integrated light mass function fitting results in M31 to the mass function results for the exact same clusters whose ages and masses were derived through color magnitude diagram fitting previously published. We find the truncation mass log(Mc / M!) is 0.4 dex higher than the previously published CMD value, suggesting that uncertainties on the mass estimates of individual clusters can bias the upper mass truncation parameter of the cluster mass function to significantly higher values. We then run experiments using M51, M83 and NGC628 incorporating individual cluster mass errors into a simulated mass function fit. We find that the high errors of the integrated light method of deriving ages and masses systematically biases the truncation mass towards higher masses
Passage to the Center: Imagination and the Sacred in the Poetry of Seamus Heaney
No full textNobel Laureate Seamus Heaney, author of nine collections of poetry and three volumes of influential essays, is regarded by many as the greatest Irish poet since Yeats. Passage to the Center is the most comprehensive critical treatment to date on Heaney\u27s poetry and the first to study Heaney\u27s entire body of work (including his recent volumes, Seeing Things and The Spirit Level ). It is also the first to examine the poems from the perspective of religion, one of Heaney\u27s guiding preoccupations. According to Tobin, the growth of Heaney\u27s poetry may be charted through the recurrent figure of the center, a key image in the relationship that evolved over time between the poet and his inherited place, an evolution that involved the continual re-evaluation and re-vision of imaginative boundaries. In a way that previous studies have not, Tobin\u27s work examines Heaney\u27s poetry in the context of modernist and postmodernist concerns about the desacralizing of civilization and provides a challenging engagement with the work of a living master.
