The bibliography is divided into four sections: I. Volcanic Gases and Sublimates, Gases Contained in Rocks, and Related Matters The literature in these fields, as emphasized recently by White and Waring (1963) is scanty, and for the most part by fiussian and Japanese scientists arid hence often presents difficulties in access and language to English-specking scientists. This section is believed to be fairly com- prehensive from the present to at least 1935.

  • Policy Considerations for STEAM Education
    POLICY BRIEF POLICY BRIEF MAR 2019 Policy Considerations for STEAM Education Mary Dell'Erba Education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics has captured the attention of state policymakers who are concerned about preparing students for an evolving workforce.1 By 2030, Institute for the Future estimates that 85 percent of the jobs that today’s K-12 learners will be doing haven’t been invented — demanding a workforce that is creative and prepared to respond innovatively to real-world problems.2 Including the arts in STEM learning can further enhance teaching and student achievement, and build upon existing approaches to STEM that encourage students to apply creativity to solving real-world problems. As a response to changing workforce demands, policymakers across the country are increasing their focus on the role of the arts in STEM and exploring opportunities to create and implement STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) programs. This report highlights state policies and practices that can help states to increase student access to STEAM education. For this report, STEAM education is defined as an approach to teaching in which students demonstrate innovative and critical thinking and creative problem-solving at the intersection of these disciplines. STEAM education uses arts integration as an instructional approach — and for experiential and inquiry-based learning — and provides multiple access points for students to engage in the creative process and meet objectives in all subject areas.3 STEAM education States recognize access Leadership efforts — improves student and achievement in including statewide task achievement and fosters STEAM at the school and forces, committees and opportunities to apply individual level and have designated leadership creativity and innovation increased opportunities positions at the state level to solving real- for STEAM through federal — help advance STEAM world problems.

  • Women of the Storm: a Balance of Powers
    Volume 3, Issue No. 2. Women of the Storm: A Balance of Powers Emma Rosenthal Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: Women of the Storm (WOS) was formed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina with the goal of engaging local female activists in attracting Congressional attention to the region. The organization, although successful in garnering support for Hurricane recovery, wetland protection, and preventative measures in case of another storm, suffered because of the continued impact of a long history of segregation in women’s activism in New Orleans. The split in past organizational affiliations led to the eventual divide of the group along racial lines. This case explores the historical context under which the organization was challenged, as well as WOS’s leadership, recruitment, trip to Washington, and the ultimate exit of minority members. What could WOS have changed to keep these members? How did the organization fail to integrate all New Orleanians into their civil activism? Women of the Storm serves as an exemplar for women’s response in the wake of a natural disaster, but underscores a cautionary tale of member inclusion and the necessity of diversity as a priority in organizational structure. The Storm and Its Aftermath Blue tarps covered the damage that killed nearly 2,000 people. Houses were scarred with Search and Rescue symbols, noting the absence of life. Abandoned warehouses lay empty and corpses covered the city. Hundreds of miles of neighborhoods were submerged, including the entirety of the Lower Ninth Ward, the heaviest hit area, which was 98.3% African American at the time of the storm (Data Center 2018).

  • “Holy Boldness”: Feminist Methodist Women in The
    Methodist History, 54:3 (April 2016) “HOLY BOLDNESS”: FEMINIST METHODIST WOMEN IN THE SOUTH, 1960-19801 Janet Allured Fran Martinez Bussie, born in New Orleans in 1935 and raised Catholic, converted to Methodism as an adult. So did her husband, Victor Bussie. Following their conversion, Fran and Vic Bussie joined First United Methodist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, because it was one of the most pro- gressive churches in the state and thus suited them philosophically and theologically. Vic Bussie, head of the Louisiana AFL-CIO for forty-fve years, led that federation of labor unions to support both civil rights for African Americans, who comprised roughly thirty percent of the population of Louisiana, and equal rights for women. Vic and Fran Bussie believed that ending oppression was a religious duty, and they joined the Methodist Church because they found its teachings and practices consistent with their beliefs.2 Fran Bussie served as president of the board of Louisiana ERA United, a statewide umbrella organization working toward ratifcation of the feder- al Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). In that capacity, she frequently gave public talks to build up political support for its ratifcation.3 Her speeches argued for women’s equality by referencing church authority as well as the Bible. Before an audience at the YWCA in Shreveport, Louisiana, she point- ed out that “The 1976 General Conference of the United Methodist Church said, ‘The Gospel makes it clear that Jesus regarded women and men as being of equal worth.’” To a devout Christian like Fran Bussie, there could be no higher authority than Jesus’ words in the gospel.
