  • Financial Stress and Health Considerations: a Tradeoff in the Reopening Decisions of U.S
    Journal of Risk and Financial Management Article Financial Stress and Health Considerations: A Tradeoff in the Reopening Decisions of U.S. Liberal Arts Colleges during the COVID-19 Pandemic Jonah Tobin 1, Oliver Hall 1, Jacob Lazris 2 and David Zimmerman 3,4,* 1 Class of 2023, Williams College, Williamstown, MA 01267, USA; [email protected] (J.T.); [email protected] (O.H.) 2 Class of 2021, Williams College, Williamstown, MA 01267, USA; [email protected] 3 Department of Economics, Williams College, Williamstown, MA 01267, USA 4 The College Crisis Initiative, Davidson College, Davidson, NC 28035, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents empirical evidence on factors influencing choices made by members of the Annapolis Group of Liberal Arts colleges regarding whether to operate primarily in-person, primarily online or some flexible alternative during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. This paper examines the tradeoff between public health risks and financial standing that school administrators faced when deciding reopening plans. Because in-person instruction at colleges and universities had large effects on COVID-19 case rates, it is critical to understand what caused these decisions. We used binary and multinomial probit models to evaluate an original data set of publicly available data as Citation: Tobin, Jonah, Oliver Hall, well as data from the College Crisis Initiative. Binary and multinomial choice model estimates suggest Jacob Lazris, and David Zimmerman. that conditional upon the prevailing level of COVID-19 in their county, financially distressed colleges 2021. Financial Stress and Health were approximately 20 percentage points more likely to opt for primarily in-person operations than Considerations: A Tradeoff in the less financially distressed colleges.

What is powerful about this poetic device? How does the persona poem involve the reader and interrogate our notions of self? We’ll explore the connections and differences between these poets and their first books. 9:40 Karen Rile: “The Bad Writing Competition: Introducing Narrative Distance to Undergraduates.” A technique-centered workshop that offers coordinated readings and prompts can help beginning writers focus on discrete, achievable goals. But demonstrating smooth narrative distance shifts presents a practical challenge in an undergraduate workshop setting. The Bad Writing Competition, or mastery through parody, is a deft solution—with some unexpected ancillary benefits.

  • Political Islam in the Age of Democratization Middle East Today Series Editors: Mohammed Ayoob Fawaz A
    Political Islam in the Age of Democratization Middle East Today Series editors: Mohammed Ayoob Fawaz A. Gerges University Distinguished Professor Professor and Chair of Middle Eastern of International Relations Politics and International Relations Michigan State University Director of the Middle East Centre London School of Economics The Iranian Revolution of 1979 and the subsequent Gulf Wars, along with the overthrow of the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, have dramatically altered the geopolitical landscape of the contemporary Middle East. This series puts forward a critical body of first-rate scholarship that reflects the current political and social realities of the region, focusing on original research about the Israeli–Palestine conflict; social movements, institutions, and the role played by nongovernmental organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban, and the Muslim Brotherhood; Iran and Turkey as emerging preeminent powers in the region—the former an Islamic republic and the latter a democracy currently governed by a party with Islamic roots; the oil-producing countries in the Persian Gulf and their petrol economies; potential problems of nuclear proliferation in the region; and the challenges confronting the United States, Europe, and the United Nations in the greater Middle East. The focus of the series is on general topics such as social turmoil, war and revolution, occupation, radicalism, democracy, and Islam as a political force in the context of modern Middle East history.

  • Description & Detail
    CLOSE-UP: DE SCRIPTION AND DETAIL Glimmer Train Close-ups are single-topic, e-doc publications specifically for writers, from the editors of Glimmer Train Stories and Writers Ask. MYLA GOLDBERG, interviewed by Sarah Anne Johnson: In each novel, there are many details that are fact, and others that are based on fact, and still others that are invented. When is it important to use actual details, and when does the imaginative work to better effect? There’s not one answer to that question. Every story, every novel will dic- tate its own answers to questions of research. When you’re writing fiction, you don’t ever have to use anything real if you don’t want to, but it’s a lot easier. If you’re trying to create a convincing setting, you want to start with reality. You can’t start from scratch because that’s impossible. Given that that’s the case, you use research to give yourself enough of the real-world fabric to get yourself in there. In the case of Wickett’s Remedy, I used research until I could look and see things without using research anymore. Research at first was a men- tal tool to help me inhabit that time period and those people. If there were details that stuck out or grabbed me and I realized that I couldn’t do any better than that, I used them. Often the world is going to supply you with better things than you’ll Submission Calendar CLOSE-UP: DESCRIPTION & DETAIL, 2nd ed. © Glimmer Train Press • glimmertrain.org 1 1 be able to come up with anyway.
