The members of my committee provided me with the tools I needed to develop a theoretical position, formulate an ethnographic project, and perform the research, and then go about the strange process of turning all that into something resembling a book. My chair, Prof. Janis Jenkins provides me with the theories, approaches, and concerns that inspired this project. She gave me the light bulb that appeared over my head and blinked on in 2008 when I figured out what I wanted, and needed, to write about. That light bulb is still shining. Prof. Nancy Postero guided me back into the field of anthropology after 10 years away, giving me a political and moral understanding of the discipline that I had not appreciated or understood.

    5/25/2018 Program for Thursday, May 17th 2018 IBANGS MEETING: THE 20TH ANNUAL GENES, BRAIN & BEHAVIOR MEETING WELCOME PROGRAM INDEXES PROGRAM FOR THURSDAY, MAY 17TH Days: next day all days View: session overview talk overview 08:30-16:00 Session FV: Pre-IBANGS Satellite Meeting, Functional Validation for Neurogenetics Location: Phillips Hall in the Siebens building room 1-11. The Siebens building is located at the Downtown Mayo Clinic Campus (not the Mayo Civic Center). Description:The transformative nature of next generation sequencing has changed how neuroscientists approach genomic sequence variation. Highly multiplexed molecular testing is providing an expanded level of information from which to make informed phenotypic predictions. The importance of this is reflected in the unprecedented expansion of genomic testing to determine the basis of neurologic conditions. Genomic testing results in many instances provide a definitive basis of a neurologic condition. However, in almost a high proportion of cases, the genomic sequencing results are confounded by the ambiguity of variants with uncertain clinical significance. Herein lies the key with which institutions will lead in the area of genomic medicine. There exists a critical need to provide a mechanism by which uncertain findings can be functionally characterized and translated into clinically actionable results. It is within thisr ealm that academic societies such as IBANGS can have a substantial and informative role on the future of clinical research and practice. This symposium will introduce the challenges and opportunities that exist in the field of human clinical neurogenetics and follow this with presentations of active work in the field of functional genetic finding validation for neurogenetics with a look to the future of genomic neurogenetics.

  • The Criminalization of Pregnancy: Rights, Discretion, and the Law
    THE CRIMINALIZATION OF PREGNANCY: RIGHTS, DISCRETION, AND THE LAW by GRACE ELIZABETH HOWARD A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science Written under the direction of Cynthia R. Daniels And approved by ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey OCTOBER, 2017 ©2017 Grace Elizabeth Howard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Criminalization of Pregnancy: Rights, Discretion, and the Law By GRACE ELIZABETH HOWARD Dissertation Director: Cynthia R. Daniels In my dissertation I conduct an inquiry into the legal phenomenon of pregnancy-specific crime. I discuss my theory of pregnancy exceptionalism in US jurisprudence, explore whether these laws are applied evenly in the population, and if not, why, and ultimately ask how, when, and if the law matters in practice. In order to answer these questions, I analyze pregnancy related US Supreme Court opinions to understand the court’s interpretation of the constitution as it relates to pregnant or potentially pregnant women. Next, I conduct a systematic analysis of state bills and statutes creating pregnancy-specific crimes, with an emphasis on the prosecution of pregnant women for crimes against the fetuses they gestate. Then, I examine arrest cases of pregnant women for crimes against their fetuses in the three states where such crimes have been officially codified: South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee. Next, I present my analysis of interviews with prosecutors involved in developing these punitive policies, in order to understand their motivations for doing so.

  • Meth Myths & Facts
    Meth Myths & Facts: What Science Tells Us New or resurging drug trends often spark what scientists have christened a drug panic. During such drug panics, professional and public proclamations about the drug and those who consume it are often highly inaccurate. One of the most recent of such panics involves the drug methamphetamine. Below is listed some of the myths about methamphetamine and what scientific studies have subsequently confirmed. Myth or Fact? Methamphetamine is America’s number one drug problem and its use is on the rise, particularly among teens. The Science: Only 600,000 Americans used methamphetamine in the past month compared to a total of 19.2 million who consumed some illicit drug and half of Americans over age 12 who reported past month alcohol consumption (SAMHSA, 2005). The prevalence of past month methamphetamine consumption among 12-17 year olds is declining, with its current level at 0.7 percent (SAMHSA, 2004; Johnston, et al, 2005). Myth or Fact? Meth is instantly addictive. The Science: It generally takes 2 to 5 years to establish methamphetamine dependence (SAMHSA, 1999). Myth or Fact? Methamphetamine is now the primary drug of choice for those admitted to addiction treatment in the United States. The Science? Methamphetamine is identified as a primary or secondary drug among only 12% of those entering addiction treatment in the Unites States (DASIS Report, 2006). Myth or Fact? Recovering from methamphetamine dependence takes longer than does recovery from other drug dependencies. The Science: There is a longer trajectory of recovery from the physical emaciation and adverse psychological effects from methamphetamine dependence than is the case with other drug dependencies (Cretzmeyer, Sarrazin, Huber, et al, 2003) Myth or Fact? Addiction treatment is not effective for meth addicts? The Science: Treatment follow-up studies of individuals treated for methamphetamine dependence reveal outcomes reveal outcomes comparable to those treated for heroin of cocaine dependence.

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2012 ABSTRACT Corticosterone-Induced Potentiation of Cocaine Seeking: A Potential Role For Organic Cation Transporter 3 Evan N Graf Marquette University, 2012 While it is known that stress plays a role in the relapse of cocaine-seeking behavior, recent studies demonstrate that stress may be acting as a “stage setter” rather than directly triggering further cocaine use. This model suggests stimuli that do not normally evoke relapse under stress-free conditions may result in drug seeking when the exposure occurs under stressful conditions. In this study, we examined the corticosterone-dependent potentiation of cocaine-induced reinstatement by a stressor, electric footshock (EFS), in rats following cocaine self- administration and extinction. We found that in rats with a history of drug exposure under low intake conditions, footshock alone did not reinstate cocaine seeking, but did result in a potentiation of reinstatement in response to a subthreshold dose of cocaine (2.5 mg/kg, ip.).
