Color-blind Racism and the Rationalization of College Attainment among Latinas(os)
http://sociology.msu.edu/faculty/profile/ayala-isabel/

Isabel Ayala
Assistant Professor Department of Sociology

Maria Isabel Ayala, (Ph.D., Texas A&M) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and the Chicano/Latino Studies Program at Michigan State University. Her research agenda examines the social impact that the unique and complex racialization of Latinos in the United States has on their demographic and social behavior. Challenging the assumption that there is a common Latino experience, she argues that Latino’s within-group differential opportunities for social mobility–based on today’s more fluid and yet, still hierarchical racial structure―play a critical role in their differential fertility behavior and educational attainment. Moreover, she explores the role of identities in changing these structures.

Getting Started with Digital Scholarly Publishing, Theses, and Dissertations: Scalar Workshop

SCALAR Workshops

Two one-day workshops at the Center for Faculty Excellence, 202 University Hall:

Monday, May 11 10:00AM-12:00PM and 1:00PM-4:00PM
or
Tuesday, May 12 10:00AM-12:00PM and 1:00PM-3:30PM
This workshop will serve as an introduction to SCALAR, a free, open-source authoring and publishing platform designed for scholars writing media-rich, long-form, born-digital scholarship. Developed by the Alliance for Networking Visual Culture at the University of Southern California, SCALAR allows scholars to assemble media from multiple sources and juxtapose that media with their own writing in a variety of ways; to annotate video, audio, images, source code, and text using the platform’s build-in media annotation tools; and to structure essay- and book-length works in ways that take advantage of the unique capabilities of digital writing, including nested, recursive, and non-linear formats. This workshop will cover basic features of the platform, including a review of existing SCALAR books and a hands-on introduction to paths, tags, annotations, and importing media, and then move on to more advanced topics including the effective use of visualizations, annotating with media, and a primer on customizing appearances in SCALAR. The workshop will be led by Curtis Fletcher, SCALAR project manager.
Seating is limited. To register, email: CFE@bgsu.edu

Schocket book dissects views on American Revolution

fighting over the founders-book by schocketIn the eye of the beholder

Over the last 200-plus years, the founders of the American Revolution have attained iconic status. But, like most icons, what they and the Revolution are used to symbolize depends perhaps more on who is vaunting them than on any objective reality.

In his new book, “Fighting over the Founders: How We Remember the American Revolution,” Dr. Andrew Schocket, history and director of BGSU’s American Culture Studies Program, looks at the ways in which the founders have been put to use by politicians and the judiciary, schools, the media and popular culture to promote, even unconsciously, their particular agendas. The Revolution has become a “battleground for debating what the nation is about and who belongs to it,” Schocket said. Continue reading
