2016 MMUF Journal Through subtle shades of color, the cover design represents the layers of richness and diversity that flourish within minority communities. The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Journal 2016 A collection of scholarly research by fellows of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program Preface We are very pleased to share with you the 2016 edition of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Journal. Earl Lewis, president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, stated that “intentional programs designed to promote diversity are needed to maximize the development of talent, encourage full participation, and secure the benefits of democracy. We remain committed to both diversity and democracy.”i This lofty objective is at the heart of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) program, which aims to increase diversity in the faculty of higher edu- cation, specifically by supporting students from underrepresented minority groups in their goal of obtaining PhDs. With the MMUF journal, we further seek to introduce young students to academia through exposure to the pub- lishing experience, a critically important component of higher education. This experience offers an introduction to the journal submission process, including manuscript preparation and editor-guided revision of scholarly work for publication, and provides an audience for student work. For most students, this has been their first experience in publishing a scholarly article. The twenty-five scholars who contributed to this year’s journal come from seventeen colleges and universities that are part of the program’s member institutions. These students share with us a diverse range of scholarship, including research conducted under the MMUF program, introductions to senior theses, and analytical class essays. The papers presented here represent a wide diversity of subjects, from history to linguistics to gender studies, that reflect the full range of MMUF-supported disciplines. These authors have done more than just share their scholarship with us. They also challenge us to think critically and to broaden our perspective of the world. Through their work, we must confront challenging questions regarding race, gender and sexuality, patriarchy, and morality, as well as the intersection of these subjects. I have been impressed not only with the authors’ commitment to their academic work, but also by their passionate and fearless willingness to closely examine such challenging and important topics. It has been a sincere pleasure and opportunity to work with these students to prepare their papers for publication. I hope that they have learned as much from this process as I have. It is with great pride and excitement that we share their work with you.

  • Maxwell Johnson JRCOSTEP Summer 2017 Illinois State University Rhinelander District Office Rhinelander, Wisconsin
    ENS Maxwell Johnson JRCOSTEP Summer 2017 Illinois State University Rhinelander District Office Rhinelander, Wisconsin My name is Maxwell Johnson and I am a student at Illinois State University (ISU). I will be continuing my senior year this fall and I plan to graduate next May with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health. One of the fundamental requirements of the environmental health program at ISU is to complete a nine-week externship with an approved organization. My aim from the start was to find an externship that would provide a mix of both autonomy and mentorship that would promote collaborative growth and independent function as an EH professional. Fortunately, the Director of ISU’s Environmental Health program, CAPT George Byrns, USPHS (Ret), introduced me to Indian Health Service (IHS). He is a large reason why I switched from almost a decade in medicine to studying environmental health, so when he spoke passionately about the IHS and USPHS opportunities I listened intently. It was no more than a week or two later that I was already working on my application packet for the JRCOSTEP. After a relatively short period of time I was informed I would be stationed in Rhinelander, WI with the Rhinelander District Office (RDO). I had never been north of Tomahawk, WI so I was very pleased to see that the beauty of the Northwoods only became more pronounced the further north I went. The RDO is within the Bemidji Area IHS that covers all tribes throughout Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin. I was fortunate enough to work under the guidance of Barry Hugo, CDR William Crump, and alongside two new hires named Jeremy Blankenship and last year’s JRCOSTEP, Garret Steiner.

  • A Case Study Exploring the Agency of Black Lgbtq+ Youth In
    A CASE STUDY EXPLORING THE AGENCY OF BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’S BALLROOM CULTURE By Shamari K. Reid Dissertation Committee: Professor Michelle Knight-Manuel, Sponsor Professor Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 19 May 2021 . Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY EXPLORING BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’s BALLROOM CULTURE Shamari K. Reid Recognizing the importance of context with regard to youth agency, this study explores how 8 Black LGBTQ+ youth understand their practices of agency in ballroom culture, an underground Black LGBTQ+ culture. Ballroom was chosen as the backdrop for this scholarly endeavor because it allowed for the study of the phenomenon — Black LGBTQ+ youth agency — in a space where the youth might feel more able to be themselves, especially given that the 2019 Black LGBTQ+ youth report published by the Human Rights Campaign revealed that only 35% of Black LGBTQ+ youth reported being able to “be themselves at school” (Kahn et al., 2019). Thus, instead of asking what is wrong with schools, this study inverted the question to explore what is “right” about ballroom culture in which Black LGBTQ+ youth might practice different kinds of agency due to their intersectional racial and LGBTQ+ identities being recognized and celebrated. Framed by the youth’s understanding of their own agency across different contexts, my research illuminates the complex interrelationships between youth agency, social identity, and context. Extending the literature on youth agency and Black LGBTQ+ youth, the findings of this study suggest that in many ways these youth are always already practicing agency to work toward different ends, and that these different end goals are greatly mediated by the contexts in which they find themselves.

Uquillas with Kathryn Johns Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need For this bright morning dawning for you. History, despite its wrenching pain, Cannot be unlived, but if faced With courage, need not be lived again. Maya Angelou 2 The World Bank, 1996 INTRODUCTION 1. At the start of the U.N. International Decade for Indigenous Peoples (1995-2004), indigenous peoples in Latin America, the original inhabitants, live in some of the poorest and most marginal conditions. After enduring centuries of domination, forced assimilation and most recently the devastating effects of disease, conflict and poverty, indigenous peoples in Latin America have survived and become engaged in fierce struggles for rights to their land and resources and their freedom of cultural expression. This paper explores the conditions which have enabled indigenous peoples to respond to changing circumstances in their communities, the development strategies that are emerging at the grassroots level, and some of the lessons and opportunities that should be taken by the Bank to assist indigenous peoples to improve their lives while maintaining and strengthening their cultures.

  • Languages of the Middle Andes in Areal-Typological Perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran
    Languages of the Middle Andes in areal-typological perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran Willem F.H. Adelaar 1. Introduction1 Among the indigenous languages of the Andean region of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile and northern Argentina, Quechuan and Aymaran have traditionally occupied a dominant position. Both Quechuan and Aymaran are language families of several million speakers each. Quechuan consists of a conglomerate of geo- graphically defined varieties, traditionally referred to as Quechua “dialects”, not- withstanding the fact that mutual intelligibility is often lacking. Present-day Ayma- ran consists of two distinct languages that are not normally referred to as “dialects”. The absence of a demonstrable genetic relationship between the Quechuan and Aymaran language families, accompanied by a lack of recognizable external gen- etic connections, suggests a long period of independent development, which may hark back to a period of incipient subsistence agriculture roughly dated between 8000 and 5000 BP (Torero 2002: 123–124), long before the Andean civilization at- tained its highest stages of complexity. Quechuan and Aymaran feature a great amount of detailed structural, phono- logical and lexical similarities and thus exemplify one of the most intriguing and intense cases of language contact to be found in the entire world. Often treated as a product of long-term convergence, the similarities between the Quechuan and Ay- maran families can best be understood as the result of an intense period of social and cultural intertwinement, which must have pre-dated the stage of the proto-lan- guages and was in turn followed by a protracted process of incidental and locally confined diffusion.

  • Selected Writings Found in the Bahá'í Faith on Indians
    LB: Updatd November 2018 CHAPTER 1 - WRITINGS IN THE BAHÁ’Í AUTHORITATIVE TEXTS AND TEXTS BY THE HANDS OF THE CAUSE ON INDIANS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE I. Purpose of the Coming of Bahá’u’lláh Indeed, the purpose of the coming of Bahá’u’lláh is to lift the yoke of oppression from His loved ones, to liberate all the people of the world, and to provide the means for their abiding happiness. In this regard, the Tablets of the Divine Plan addressed by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá to North America make it clear that the destiny of the Native Americans as an illumined and fulfilled peo- ple is linked to the quality of their response to the Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh. (Letter dated 12 February 2002, written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice, http://bahai-library.com/ uhj_indian_nations) II. Capacity of American Indians to Comprehend the Faith The understanding of His words and the comprehension of the utterances of the Birds of Heaven are in no wise dependent upon human learning. They depend solely upon purity of heart, chastity of soul, and freedom of spirit. This is evidenced by those who, today, though without a single letter of the accepted standards of learning, are occupying the loftiest seats of knowledge; and the garden of their hearts is adorned, through the showers of divine grace, with the roses of wisdom and the tulips of understanding. Well is it with the sincere in heart for their share of the light of a mighty Day! (Bahá’u’lláh, The Kitáb-i-Íqan, p.

  • The Relation Between Biomedicine and Local Knowledge in Primary Health Care
    UNIVERSITEIT VAN AMSTERDAM Amsterdam Master's in Medical Anthropology, 2007/2008 The relation between biomedicine and local knowledge in primary health care: Experiences and strategies of the Jambi Huasihealth center, in Ecuador THESIS FOR THE AMSTERDAM MASTER'S IN MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY Supervisor: Professor Dr. Stuart Blume By: Maria de Ios Angeles Erazo Pesimtez SUMMARY I ABSTRACT 'This research analyse the relation between biomedicine and local knowledge (which is so­ called traditional indigenous medicine in this research) in primary health, based on the experiences and strategies of the Jambi Huasi health center, located in the Otavalo city, in the Imbabura province, Ecuador. The fieldwork took place from May 26th to July 6th of2008. The problem revealed by this research is that due to cultural and historical reasons, some indigenous people have not received health care in hospitals, clinics and more units of the formal health system (which is based primarily on biomedicine). In order to provide health care especially to those people, the Indigenous and Peasant Federation of Imbabura (FICI, in Spanish) created Jambi Huasi, more than 24 years ago. During the fieldwork, it was possible to realize that there are clear differences of opinion regarding the way in which the biomedicine and traditional indigenous medicine are related. Some interviewed people see collaboration; others, a process of subordination or incorporation of traditional indigenous medicine into a hegemonic biomedical system. The process of "Reference and counter-reference" is one of the practices that the staff of Jambi Huasi has promoted, in order to consolidate the relationship of dialogue, mutual respect and appreciation between biomedical professionals and representatives of traditional indigenous medicine.
