    Sermon May 2 2021 Terry Yasuko Ogawa A Baptized and Baptizing Community SCRIPTURE: Acts 8:26-40 26 Then an angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Get up and go towards the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ (This is a wilderness road.) 27 So he got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning home; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go over to this chariot and join it.’ 30 So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. He asked, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ 31 He replied, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’ And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him. 32 Now the passage of the scripture that he was reading was this: ‘Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and like a lamb silent before its shearer, so he does not open his mouth. 33 In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.’ 34 The eunuch asked Philip, ‘About whom, may I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?’ 35 Then Philip began to speak, and starting with this scripture, he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus.

  • Community Responses to Food Insecurity in Western Massachusetts
    It Takes A Valley: Community Responses to Food Insecurity in Western Massachusetts A Division III Thesis Paper Johnny Williams Committee: Sue Darlington (chair), Seeta Sistla (member) ii “Food is our most intimate and powerful connection to each other, to our cultures, and to the Earth” – HEAL Food Alliance “People need to put an emphasis on creating justice, economically, socially, educationally. It doesn’t have to be somebody has to lose in order for other to gain, everyone gains when we live in a just world.” – Ibrahim Ali iii Acknowledgements To start, I would like to thank my professor Catherine Sands for connecting me to critical scholarly resources about the U.S. food system, creating a constructive learning environment to discuss these issues in our Community Food Systems class, and introducing me to staff and directors of Gardening the Community, Nuestras Raices, and the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, several of whom were interviewed for this project. I would also like to acknowledge the crucial role that my faculty committee at Hampshire College had in helping me to refine my core ideas and questions and for help with synthesizing them in a way that (hopefully) makes this writing accessible to a broader audience. Without the help of professors Sue Darlington and Seeta Sistla, this project would have never gotten off the ground. An immense amount of gratitude is owed to both of you for the many hours that you took out of your busy schedules to meet with me during my final three semesters of Hampshire to keep me on track and ensure the success of this project.

When I was a kid it was a term of abuse for the loony bin. “Hey mate, you should be in Larundel.” That’s all I knew. A Google search reveals that since the asylum in Bundoora closed 20 years ago, the derelict, red-brick buildings on the hill are haunted by graffitists and ghost hunters as they await a final metamorphosis into a shiny housing development. The thrill seekers who steal through the ruin at night say you can hear screams; a girl in a nightdress is said to walk the floors winding her music box. A jerky video shot by two jerky guys brings such insights as, “This must be the observation room. The insane guy sits here, the doctor asks him questions and the whole audience watches – woah!” I asked Facebook friends for help. A creepy place, was the common response.

    I give permission for public access to my thesis and for any copying to be done at the discretion of the archives librarian and/or the College librarian. ________________ ____________ Signature Date Waste Traffic(ing): An anthropological analysis of one situated event in the environmental justice discourse. Caroline Houston Bauer 2009 Advisor: Debbora Battaglia Major: Anthropology Minor: Philosophy _______________________________________________________________ Abstract: This narrative examines the repercussions of the proposal to build a solid waste facility in an environmental justice community. It documents one solid waste transfer station’s permitting process required by Massachusetts General Laws, Codes of Regulations, and policies and the affiliated government agencies. All of these offices and laws incorporate vehicles for “meaningful community involvement,” stressing its importance in all three steps of the process. Each chapter documents the incorporation of one impacted “environmental justice” community’s “meaningful involvement” as the “proposed project” (solid waste transfer station) goes through the 3-step procedure for determining if the “site” is “suitable” for a solid waste facility, recording the events in chronological order as described by the laws, agencies, public record, local media, ethnographic data and observations. Acknowledgements This research would not have been possible without the help of the Holyoke Board of Health, the employees of Nuestras Raíces and Holyoke Food and Fitness Policy Council, Liz Budd, Alan Bloomgarden, Andrew Lass, Monique Roleofs and Susan Martin. I would like to thank my advisor, Debbora Battaglia. Professor Battaglia provided me with unwavering support and invaluable consolation throughout completing this thesis. Her guidance and confidence in my work, thoughts and beliefs set me on the path toward becoming an anthropologist in my sophomore year and helped me realize that, now, there is no looking back.

WHITMORE A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Women’s and Gender Studies Written under the direction of Dr. Carlos Decena and Dr. Kyla Schuller And approved by ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Ecologies of Care: Whiteness, Clinical Power, and Post-Opioid Futures By LINDSEY A. WHITMORE Dissertation Directors: Dr. Carlos Decena Dr. Kyla Schuller This project seeks to reveal and dismantle the many consolidations of power (racial, capital, ethical, affective) that structure and vitalize systems of clinical care in the U.S., both currently and historically. Attending to such consolidations of power exposes the ways in which individual harm and collective crisis function as forms of currency and value in U.S. clinical medicine today. These forms of currency and value are differentially distributed depending on one’s proper relation to the state and to key markers of difference—race in particular. As such, the contemporary sphere of U.S. opioid politics serves as a key backdrop for theorizing racial difference generally and whiteness more specifically as specific kinds of clinical and cultural capital in current systems of care. By examining U.S. opioid politics alongside three keywords – Pain, Crisis, and Recovery—this project ultimately seeks to track the ways in which available mechanisms for recognizing and responding to the supposed “fact” of pain in U.S.
