  • Illinois State Museum Announces Women'
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For more information contact: March 23, 2021 Jamila Wicks C: 706-207-7836 [email protected] Illinois State Museum Announces Women's History Series and Trail Walk in the Footsteps of Illinois Women and Listen to Their Stories SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — As part of Women’s History Month, the Illinois State Museum (ISM) today announced the launch of its “In Her Footsteps Series” beginning this March through June. Each program in the series will occur online on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The series will feature Illinois women and their contributions to history, culture, and society. Its aim is to encourage Illinoisans to learn more about women’s history in their region and perhaps travel, virtually or in person, to learn more about their stories. “The ‘In Her Footsteps Series’ is a chance for the Illinois State Museum to tell stories of women who called Illinois home,” said ISM Director of Interpretation Jennifer Edginton. “We’re focusing on women whom you may have heard of before, but not sure how exactly you heard of them. We’re telling diverse stories that bring to life the dynamic history of Illinois.” Additionally, the Museum will include each of these women and other female historical figures on its new “In Her Footsteps Illinois Women’s History Trail” website scheduled to launch in May. The website will pinpoint locations across the state connected to women who have contributed to Illinois history. It will summarize each woman’s story and provide information on historic sites and markers that the public can visit.

  • Beyond Westworld
    “We Don’t Know Exactly How They Work”: Making Sense of Technophobia in 1973 Westworld, Futureworld, and Beyond Westworld Stefano Bigliardi Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane - Morocco Abstract This article scrutinizes Michael Crichton’s movie Westworld (1973), its sequel Futureworld (1976), and the spin-off series Beyond Westworld (1980), as well as the critical literature that deals with them. I examine whether Crichton’s movie, its sequel, and the 1980s series contain and convey a consistent technophobic message according to the definition of “technophobia” advanced in Daniel Dinello’s 2005 monograph. I advance a proposal to develop further the concept of technophobia in order to offer a more satisfactory and unified interpretation of the narratives at stake. I connect technophobia and what I call de-theologized, epistemic hubris: the conclusion is that fearing technology is philosophically meaningful if one realizes that the limitations of technology are the consequence of its creation and usage on behalf of epistemically limited humanity (or artificial minds). Keywords: Westworld, Futureworld, Beyond Westworld, Michael Crichton, androids, technology, technophobia, Daniel Dinello, hubris. 1. Introduction The 2016 and 2018 HBO series Westworld by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy has spawned renewed interest in the 1973 movie with the same title by Michael Crichton (1942-2008), its 1976 sequel Futureworld by Richard T. Heffron (1930-2007), and the short-lived 1980 MGM TV series Beyond Westworld. The movies and the series deal with androids used for recreational purposes and raise questions about technology and its risks. I aim at an as-yet unattempted comparative analysis taking the narratives at stake as technophobic tales: each one conveys a feeling of threat and fear related to technological beings and environments.

  • 1 Age, Race, Parity, and Access to Same-Day IUD Insertion at Obstetrician-Gynecology Practices in Ohio
    Age, Race, Parity, and Access to Same-Day IUD Insertion at Obstetrician-Gynecology Practices in Ohio: A Mystery Client Study Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degrees Master of Arts and Master of Public Health in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jaclyn Jean Serpico Graduate Program in Public Health and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies The Ohio State University 2018 Thesis Committee Wendy Smooth, Advisor JaNelle Ricks, Advisor Mytheli Sreenivas Maria Gallo 1 Copyrighted by Jaclyn Jean Serpico 2018 2 Abstract This study investigated the availability of same-day intra-uterine device (IUD) insertion and whether women in Ohio face age, race or parity-based bias in attempts to schedule an IUD insertion appointment. We used a mystery client approach to test scheduling bias and same-day insertion availability at obstetrician-gynecology practices in Ohio, a method that, to our knowledge, has never been used in the U.S. to investigate barriers to IUD access. We called a random sample of 396 obstetrician-gynecology practices while posing as a potential client seeking an appointment to receive an IUD. Using one of eight standardized scripts, we determined the availability of same-day IUD insertion, and whether willingness of office staff to schedule IUD insertion appointments varied by patient’s age, parity, or race. Practices were randomized to follow a balanced 3x2 factorial design, whereby practices were assigned to one of two conditions: (1) age (18 vs. 30 years of age); (2) parity (nulliparous vs. primiparity); and (3) race (white vs. Black). The overwhelming majority (92.35%) of practices required multiple appointments for IUD insertion (as opposed to same-day insertion).

    4.12 The Role of Political Protest Standard 4.12: The Role of Political Protest Examine the role of political protest in a democracy. (Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for History and Social Studies) [8.T4.12] FOCUS QUESTION: What are the Different Ways That Political Protest Happens in a Democracy? Building Democracy for All 1 Rosa Parks being fingerprinted by Deputy Sheriff D.H. Lackey after being arrested for boycotting public transportation, Montgomery, Alabama, February, 1956 Public domain photograph from The Plain Dealer newspaper The right to protest is essential in a democracy. It is a means for people to express dissatisfaction with current situations and assert demands for social, political, and economic change. Protests make change happen and throughout the course of United States history it has taken sustained protests over long periods of time to bring about substantive change in governmental policies and the lives of people. Protest takes political courage as well, the focal point of Standard 4.11 in this book. The United States emerged from American protests against England’s colonial rule.

  • The Civil War in the American Ruling Class
    tripleC 16(2): 857-881, 2018 http://www.triple-c.at The Civil War in the American Ruling Class Scott Timcke Department of Literary, Cultural and Communication Studies, The University of The West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, [email protected] Abstract: American politics is at a decisive historical conjuncture, one that resembles Gramsci’s description of a Caesarian response to an organic crisis. The courts, as a lagging indicator, reveal this longstanding catastrophic equilibrium. Following an examination of class struggle ‘from above’, in this paper I trace how digital media instruments are used by different factions within the capitalist ruling class to capture and maintain the commanding heights of the American social structure. Using this hegemony, I argue that one can see the prospect of American Caesarism being institutionally entrenched via judicial appointments at the Supreme Court of the United States and other circuit courts. Keywords: Gramsci, Caesarism, ruling class, United States, hegemony Acknowledgement: Thanks are due to Rick Gruneau, Mariana Jarkova, Dylan Kerrigan, and Mark Smith for comments on an earlier draft. Thanks also go to the anonymous reviewers – the work has greatly improved because of their contributions. A version of this article was presented at the Local Entanglements of Global Inequalities conference, held at The University of The West Indies, St. Augustine in April 2018. 1. Introduction American politics is at a decisive historical juncture. Stalwarts in both the Democratic and the Republican Parties foresee the end of both parties. “I’m worried that I will be the last Republican president”, George W. Bush said as he recoiled at the actions of the Trump Administration (quoted in Baker 2017).

  • Family Planning for Migrant Farmworkers of Mexican Culture: a Framework for Action
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 342 513 RC 018 171 AUTHOR Littlefield, Carla N.; And Others TITLE Family Planning for Migrant Farmworkers of Mexican Culture: A Framework for Action. INSTITUTION Colorado Community Health Network, Inc., Denver. PUB DATE Feb 86 NOTE 93p. PUB TYPE Guides - Non-Classroom Use (055) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS At Risk Persons; *Contraception; *Family Planning; *Health Education; *Mexican Americans; Mexicans; Migrant Health Services; *Migrant Workers; Pregnancy; *Program Implementation IDENTIFIERS Mexico ABSTRACT This guide, written for health managers and clinicians, provides information to meet the family planning needs of migrant farmworkers of Mexican culture. The promotion of maternal and child health for migrant farmworker families has brought attention to the incidence of high risk pregnancies among this population. Research indicates that a need exists to increase accessibility and acceptability of family planning services for Mexican American migrant farmworkers. Because of the cultural similarit4s between Mexicans and Mexican Americans, successful family planning programs in rural areas of Mexico are relevant to service providers in the United States. The first chapter of the guide focuses on women and discusses maternal and infant health risks, social Influences and attitudes toward family planning, contraceptive methods for women, and effective means for delivering services. Chapter 2 discusses adolescents and describes influences on adolescent sexuality, risks for sexually active adolescents, contraceptives for adolescents, program implications, and effective means for delivering services. The last chapter centers on the role of males in family planning. Involving males in family planning and providing accurate information about contraceptives would promote positive outcomes. Male methods of contraception are also discussed.
