Reading Across Rhode Island, the statewide community read, kicks off its 17th year with What the Eyes Don’t See by Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha. Reading Across Rhode Island is a project of the Rhode Island Center for the Book, made possible through a vibrant collaboration of librarians, teachers, book group leaders and readers from across the State. The 2019 program runs from January to June with readers in Rhode Island classrooms, libraries, and bookstores joining discussions and participating in lectures, art exhibits, poetry readings and dramatic interpretations focused on this year’s selection. U.S Senator Sheldon Whitehouse serves as the program’s Honorary Chair. “As a voracious reader, I’m glad to join the Rhode Island Center for the Book to introduce the new Reading Across Rhode Island selection. What the Eyes Don’t See holds timely lessons from the tragedy in Flint, Michigan about the importance of taking an active role in democracy, standing up for what you know is right, and fighting for environmental justice.” GET THE BOOK Pick up a copy of What the Eyes Don’t See at your local public library or bookstore and start up a conversation with your family, friends, coworkers, or even the person sitting next to you as you ride the bus.

  • SPCM 341 – Evaluating Contemporary TV – Netflix Studies
    SPCM 341 401 – Evaluating Contemporary Television Netflix Studies: TV in the Twenty-First Century Instructor: Dr. David Scott Diffrient [email protected] May 14 - July 8, 2018 - ONLINE General Course Description This course introduces students to the field of television studies, providing the critical tools with which to analyze historically significant texts as well as contemporary productions from a variety of different perspectives. Specific Course Description Despite its ubiquity and influential power as a cultural form, television has often been overlooked and even dismissed as little more than a diversion in our everyday lives. As a result, the experience of watching TV has frequently been compared to other “leisure activities” in which participants — far from being mentally engaged — can let their minds rest (or wander) and momentarily “escape” the real world. However, it is because of its ubiquitous presence in our lives that television demands scrutiny, particularly with regard to the means by which it generates both consensus and debate about matters of great political and social importance. In this course, we will take television seriously as a popular persuasive force, one that is capable of narrative complexity and thematic profundity as well as artistic preeminence in this age of digital media, mobile viewing, online file sharing, and instant Internet access to classic programs of yesteryear. We are in the midst of what some commentators call a new “Golden Age of Television,” initiated nearly two decades ago by HBO programs like The Sopranos and The Wire and, more recently, AMC hits like Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Also referred to as “Peak TV,” the current cultural moment is marked by an abundance of viewing options and offerings, much of which is now available through various streaming services (as opposed to traditional broadcast channels).

  • Parents for Nontoxic Alternatives
    parents for nontoxic alternatives US HOUSE DEMOCRATIC STEERING AND POLICY COMMITTEE HEARING ON “THE FLINT WATER CRISIS: LESSONS FOR PROTECTING AMERICA’S CHILDREN” February 10, 2016 TESTIMONY OF YANNA LAMBRINIDOU, PHD Congresswoman Pelosi, Congressman Kildee, and members of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, I thank you for inviting me to testify at this hearing. My name is Yanna Lambrinidou, I am the president of Parents for Nontoxic Alternatives, a children’s environmental health organization in Washington, DC, and affiliate faculty in Science and Technology Studies at Virginia Tech. In my capacity as researcher, teacher, and advocate, I have spent the last 9 years conducting ethnographic, investigative, and policy research on lead in drinking water, locally and nationally. In 2014 and 2015, I served on an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC) working group convened to develop recommendations for how to best strengthen the federal Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). The working group issued its final report this past August. I filed the group’s sole dissent (attachment 1). LEAD IN US DRINKING WATER The science of lead in drinking water and the history of the LCR point to a sobering reality that we cannot continue to ignore: Flint and Washington, DC twelve years ago are not outliers. They are canaries in a coalmine. I am not the first to deliver this message. Serious weaknesses in the LCR and evidence of its often suboptimal implementation and enforcement have been noted steadily for the past 12 years in Congressional testimonies,1,2,3 independent governmental and non-governmental investigations,4,5 and many media reports.6,7,8,9,10,11 The LCR is a public health law.

  • Defek Owens Started Teaching at St. John's University In"1994; Before
    44 emma lazarus she is "a mighty woman with a torch," and "From her beacon-hand/ Glows world-wide welcome." Again, we may recall her Eprsfle to the Hebrew* in which Lazarus speaks of the need for "a beacon-light" for the Jews, and "the torch ofvisible community"-a phrase bor- rowed from George Eliot's Daniel Deronda (Epistle r4-5). However, where in the Epistle she seems to desire that this "torch" appear in the form of a "resolute and. homogenous nation" (r5, emphasis mine), her vision in this poem is quite different. The Statue-and America more broadly-is hailed as the "Mother of Exiles," indiscriminately accepting a vast array of refugees who arrive at her shores. she writes, "Keep, ancient lands, your sto- ried pomp," again rejecting the burden of European history; tradition must be updated to meet the needs of the present, specifically the needs of the persecuted and destitute peoples, the "wretched refuse," of Europe. She rejects the ideithat immigrants should hold to all the customs they bring along with them to a new land; in particular, as she writes elsewhere, she believes strongly that Judaism should not subsist in orthodoxy, but rdHks rather should be reformed and updated to better survive the trials of modernity. under- lying this statement is, additionally, a reminder ofthe evils that the present generations have inherited from this history of pomp, evils such as anti-semitis-. wh.n she considers those "tempest-tost" individuals fleeing persecution-a descriptions she uses frequently in her prose to reference the Jews (most often, but not always, those fleeing Eastern Europe in the late nineteenth century)-she envisions the statue of Liberty extending to them the promise of community; it is one that must be stripped of the outmoded traditions of the past, but also one that they, a foreign people, will help to constitute.
