It’s why we were recently ranked as the number one small university produc­ ing Peace Corps volunteers and are always up there at the top of that list. It’s why our faculty created the first undergraduate inter­ national political economy program in the country and then wrote the textbook for it when they couldn’t find one good enough. Where does this tradition of originality come from? T.S. Eliot, one of America’s most original poets and one of our most tradi­ tional, said that the two qualities are insepa­ rable. The most individual writers—the most original and modern—said Eliot, possess the greatest sense of the past and of their place in it. The truly original writer is the one who lives not merely in the present but lives with an appreciation of how the ghosts of the past live on in the present moment and help cre­ ate our experience of it. Which brings me to that Hatchet. I’ve never seen the real thing. But what 1 know about it makes it a perfect symbol for Puget Sound: It connects our present (and our future) with our past.

    March 26, 2021 Chairman Dan Scripps Commissioner Tremaine Phillips Commissioner Katherine Peretick Michigan Public Service Commission 7109 W. Saginaw Highway Lansing, MI 48917 RE: MPSC Case No. U-20763 Dear Chairman Scripps, Commissioner Phillips, and Commissioner Peretick: As you undertake your review of Enbridge Energy’s proposed oil pipeline tunnel, the undersigned organizations and individuals submit this letter to (1) urge you to include evidence related to the environmental effects of climate change, and to determine this evidence is relevant and admissible in conjunction with your review of this project; and (2) reassure you that you have ample statutory and state constitutional authority to reach such a determination and to actually consider climate-related evidence in conjunction with your review of this proposal for new fossil fuel infrastructure beneath the Great Lakes. We also urge you to include critically important evidence of the environmental risks and the absence of significant public need for extending the life of the Line 5 oil pipeline. Background In this time of climate emergency, governments and leaders at all levels must consider the potential impacts of climate change in all long-term decision-making processes, especially in a case such as this, where the Commission will be deciding whether to allow the construction of new fossil fuel infrastructure that, if built, is expected to remain in place for decades to come, and up to 99 years. While climate change is truly a global crisis, we are experiencing the impacts of this crisis in our state right now. Here in Michigan, over the past year climate change has contributed to major flooding, catastrophic dam failures, extreme fluctuations in lake levels, heat waves, and powerful storms that disrupted power for hundreds of thousands of Michiganders.

This form of pop music has been circulating widely abroad and in Iran for decades, and it is particularly relevant when considering cultural exchanges between Iran and its diaspora. Hemmasi explores how music producers have positioned themselves to reflect on the question of the Iranian nation.

    HAJI MOLANA, HANIEH., PH.D., AUGUST. 2020 GEOGRAPHY EVERYDAY NARRATIVES OF IRANIAN WOMEN ON BELONGING IN THE UNITED STATES (108 PP.) Dissertation Advisor: David Kaplan The acculturation process and psychological aspects of cultural change and adaptation have become the center of diaspora and immigration scholarship over the past decades. The goal of this piece is to amplify the voices of female immigrants who have experienced both cultural and physical separation from their home country. Specifically, assessing the ways in which the acculturation process in a host society has impacted their psychological health and well-being. The primary focus of this study is on the two factors of gender and ethnic enclave, to answer the research questions: 1) How does gender play a role in encountering and adopting new socio- cultural values? 2) How does the existence of an established ethnic enclave and living among people with similar ethnic backgrounds in a host society affect the acculturation process and the psychological aspects of it? Data was collected through an in-depth interview method called collective biography, executed with seventeen Iranian women in Los Angeles, CA and Cleveland, OH. The research findings allow for a new way to approach the acculturation studies; precisely, an evaluation of the levels of importance of factors such as gender, existence of ethnic enclave, current political climate, religion, family support and marital status. The overall findings will be beneficial in expanding acculturation theory and highlighting the important role of gender and women’s issues in studying immigrants’ post-migration. Future policy-making institutions and organizations that study immigration will benefit from the knowledge of potential risks to the personal and social lives of their subjects after migration.
