I just wanted to say that before we get started, there will be a public comment period later this afternoon. It is on the agenda for 3:45 p.m. Eastern and we will do our best to start then if you plan to speak during that public comment period. With that, let us turn it over to our Chair Frank Pasquale. Opening Remarks Frank Pasquale: Thanks so much, Rebecca. I should have said during my introduction that I am at Brooklyn Law School and I am coming to you from Brooklyn today. And so today we are convening a number of experts and we could not have done it without just extraordinary support from the Full Committee and from staffers delegated to our Subcommittee on Privacy, Confidentiality and Security. So, I first just wanted to thank all members of the subcommittee. I wanted to thank our Full Committee and the Chair Bill Stead for helping guide us in the Full Committee toward this inquiry through the year. It has been a very challenging year in terms of planning, and I think it is very good that we are at this point now. And I also just wanted to say an enormous thanks first to Rachel Seeger for her really extraordinary efforts in terms of convening the experts that you see today and reaching out and ensuring that we have a really number of voices from a number of different fields in a truly interdisciplinary approach here. And of course, to Rebecca and to Maya, Rebecca Hines, and Maya Bernstein, who have been with us through the whole process. And just to introduce in terms of the structure of my opening remarks and of my overall – of the overall – I am getting a little bit of feedback. I do not know if everyone is muted. Just in terms of the structure of the overall approach today. National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics, September 14, 2020 Subcommittee on Privacy, Confidentiality and Security 5 Essentially, one thing that we are going to be going through is that we have a lot of objectives for the meeting at the broadest level. Our objectives are first to understand current policies and practices involving data collection and use with respect to privacy and security during the COVID-19 public health emergency. That is our first objective on a very broad level to understand these policies and practices because when there is something of such epical and world historical change and impact as a pandemic of this nature, there are going to be definite impacts on policies and practices. Second, we are trying to understand the challenges and potential areas of clarification in light of these practices, new and emerging technology developments and new and evolving policy directions. And that is an area where the diversity of governance both within the United States and internationally can be both a challenge and an opportunity, a way of understanding what has worked, what has failed, and how do we move beyond certain failures to what has ultimately worked. Also, to identify best practices in areas where additional technical assistance or guidance may be useful. One of the things that is so helpful to our National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics in which I saw the Standards Subcommittee last month and which I have seen throughout my time on the committee is its openness to expert advice. And I think that this is a real great opportunity to serve as a transmission develops between the thinkers and doers in civil society and academia and industry that are really trying to increase our understanding and effectiveness in combatting the pandemic and to those who are making decisions in Congress, in the Executive Branch, at state and local levels.

  • My Son, the Paper
    Inspiring Magazines that Died Before their Time. OU may remember some of these inspiring publications if you are one of us old farts, Yor maybe you never even heard of any of them. Some of these titles go way back, over a hundred years or more, and a few are as recent as this year. All of these magazines came and went, often without notice. Lots of them ran for years before they folded, and a few only lasted for just a couple of issues. Two came out for just their first issue, and one never made it past the printing press. But all of these publications were launched with a goal of continu - ing until the end of time. In addition to my collection, we have a good number of publications from Richard Stanley and Ed Gold; we shall hear from them as well as yours truly as they present a few of their choices. But first, I’d like to set the stage: Most of what you’ll see are publications—magazines, tabloids, and boxed editions—period - icals created for designers, illustrators, photographers, and creatives in all fields of the graphic arts. We also have general and special-interest magazines published for adults with discriminating tastes—designed and edited by creative professionals who earned fame for their award-winning work. We have volumes by Milton Glaser, Seymour Chwast, Herb Lubalin, Andy Warhol (before he took up pop art), David Carson, Roger Black, Henry Wolf, Alexey Brodovitch… and the list of impressive names goes on. During the 1960s, 70s, and 80s we saw a boom in magazine development: New publica - tions were launched, existing ones spun off siblings, and many successful publications were redesigned and expanded.

  • April 2009 Steven Brodner
    DIALOGUE Steven Heller in conversation steven brodner caricaturist The Bush years were a boom time for Steve Brodner. A satirical illustrator known for stun- ning caricatures, he was blessed with an incredible cast of corrupt and venal characters as targets. Brodner has been turning up the graphic heat since the 1990s, and the Age of W didn’t stand a chance. He is one of the best of what might be called the “second generation” of American graphic commentators, the first being David Levine, Edward Sorel, Jules Feiffer, and Robert Grossman. Brodner has created satire for more than 30 years, initially channeling the great Thomas Nast, then finding his own expressive style. The list of magazines and newspapers to which he’s contrib- uted sly commentary on presidential elections, controversial subjects, and outdoorsy events is long: Harper’s, National Lampoon, Sports Illustrated, Playboy, Spy, Esquire, The Progressive, The Village Voice, The Washington Post, Texas Monthly, Philadelphia magazine—it goes on. He has been the editor of The Nation’s cartoon feature, “Comix Nation,” and throughout the 2008 election season, he talked as he drew for The New Yorker’s “The Naked Campaign” videos. In 2008, an exhibition of his political work was mounted at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. We caught up with Brodner after the election to talk about the art and politics of caricature, the “of course” mo- ment, and raging against the machine. STEVEN HELLER have the visual and literal messages blend so Print contributing editor, author, co-chair of the Designer as well that you don’t see a difference.

  • Arts and Science Message from the Dean
    New York University Bulletin 2007-2009 Graduate School of Arts and Science http://gsas.nyu.edu Message from the Dean he Graduate School of Arts and Science is an advocate for advanced inquiry and Tcreativity. As such, we prize the graduate student who can combine curiosity, strong capabilities, and a mind drawn to the highest challenges of history or economics or neural science or the interdisciplinary exploration of social thought or any other big field. Our bulletin tells faculty, students, and others about our intellectual vision and the programs and people that embody that vision. Our offerings demonstrate that graduate schools are the academic nerve center of the contemporary university. Here, ground-breaking discoveries are made, ideas (old and new) investigated, and the next generation of scholars, researchers, thinkers, and faculty educated. New York University has been a pioneer in graduate education. In 1866, it became the second university in the United States to offer an earned doctorate. In 1886, the Graduate School of Arts and Science opened to a wide variety of able students. Today, we house 53 programs that offer doctoral and master’s degrees and certificates. They balance disciplinary and interdisciplinary work. We enroll over 4,700 students each year. I hope that we stay true to an experimental and fluid spirit. In order to do so, we call on the abundant creative energies of New York, that greatest of global cities, and of our faculty, which will grow by 25 percent by the end of this decade. Together, faculty and the students who choose to work with them are the brains that power our school.

  • The Historical Trauma and Resilience of Individuals of Mexican Ancestry in the United States: a Scoping Literature Review and Emerging Conceptual Framework
    genealogy Review The Historical Trauma and Resilience of Individuals of Mexican Ancestry in the United States: A Scoping Literature Review and Emerging Conceptual Framework Araceli Orozco-Figueroa School of Social Work, University of Washington, 4101 15 Avenue NE Seattle, WA 98105-6250, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Recently, Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) have encountered an escalation in adverse social conditions and trauma events in the United States. For individuals of Mexican ancestry in the United States (IMA-US), these recent events represent the latest chapter in their history of adversity: a history that can help us understand their social and health disparities. This paper utilized a scoping review to provide a historical and interdisciplinary perspective on discussions of mental health and substance use disorders relevant to IMA-US. The scoping review process yielded 16 peer reviewed sources from various disciplines, published from 1998 through 2018. Major themes included historically traumatic events, inter-generational responses to historical trauma, and vehicles of transmission of trauma narratives. Recommendations for healing from historical and contemporary oppression are discussed. This review expands the clinical baseline knowledge relevant to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of contemporary traumatic exposures for IMA-US.
