The Radicalesbians, a lesbian feminist group based in New York City, changed the perception of the words “lesbian” “radical” through their famous 1970 work Woman Identified Woman and their subsequent zap at the Second Congress to Unite Women. Both of these events helped mainline feminists understand their own internalized misogyny and fear of lesbians, and helped shift the meaning of the word lesbian in mainline feminism from a derogatory term to a political identity that women regardless of their sexuality began to use.

Blind from birth, seventeen-year-old Eva Schreiber has been raised to believe Nazi ideology. Her illusions are shattered when her older brother Dietrich, an SS soldier living a double life, tells her that the Nazis consider disabled people “life unworthy of life” and that she has been marked for death. Eva is rescued from a killing center by a young nurse and goes into hiding with several other disabled teens. There she finds love, actively resists the Nazis, grows to accept her blindness and faces devastating betrayal.

Little is known about race/ethnicity as a predictor of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms. It is productive to investigate possible differences in ASD symptoms and presentation as well as age of diagnosis.
Some researchers propose that minority children are more likely to exhibit “challenging” or destructive behaviors (i.e throwing obejcts, kicking, etc.) than their Caucasian peers which can influence parent concern of autism symptoms and age of diagnosis.
The present study examined ethnicity, hyperactivity, aggression, social skills, and adaptability to test whether these factors can predict the likelihood of parents’ concern for autism symptoms.

Lucas Nguyen (he/they) is a transgender preservice music teacher who, like many other LGBT+ teachers, has to “negotiate the closet” and balance his personal and professional identities in front of his students, colleagues, and school administration.
In the spring semester of 2020, he completed his teaching residency at Ben Franklin High School’s instrumental music program in New Orleans, unsure and unprepared to express himself as a transgender person, as a competent musician, and as a new teacher simultaneously.

The EPR paradox is a thought experiment put forward by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen intended to show the seemingly impossible results of quantum mechanics, specifically entanglement. Entanglement is when the state of two or more particles cannot be described separately from each other. Put simply, you cannot affect one particle without instantaneously affecting the others. Einstein took issue with the instantaneous action at a distance, which appears to violate relativity, and so proposed a HVT (hidden variable theory). John Bell wrote a paper on this paradox and produced a theorem that could be tested to disprove an HVT. The experiment we performed is a ‘Bell test,’ and the results violate the Bell Inequality, they support quantum mechanics, and are incompatible with any hidden variable theory.

Cross coupling reactions have been essential in organic chemistry due to the reaction’s ability to form carbon-carbon bonds using a catalyst and the aid of an activating group.1 In 2010, Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki received the Nobel Prize of Chemistry for their contributions to palladium cross coupling.2 One of the most popular techniques that integrate palladium cross coupling is Suzuki coupling, which involves a reaction between organoboron compounds and organic halides in the presence of a palladium catalyst.
Nitrophenol compounds are used in the formation of dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals, chemical intermediates, explosives and fungicides. However, these compounds are toxic to both humans and the environment.3 In particular, 4-nitrophenol is the most prominent and toxic nitrophenol compound.4 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry placed 4-nitrophenol threat to human and environment.1,5 Using catalytic degradation, 4-nitrophenol can be easily converted into the safer 4-aminophenol which can be used to produce analgesic and antipyretic drugs.

At the end of Jane Austen’s novels, readers are left with romance and a sense of justice. The good are rewarded with love, money, and a happy ending, while the evil are punished according to their shortcomings.

The justice enacted at the expense of Lydia Bennet, the flirtatious, impulsive, and silly sister of Pride and Prejudice’s Elizabeth Bennet, and Maria Bertram, the vain, classist, and naive cousin of Mansfield Park’s Fanny Price, is not justice at all, even though it feels like the kind of karma readers want to savor.

Their fates are not actually results of their personal faults and poor choices, but the typical, calculated outcome of a cruel patriarchal justice system fueled by an equally unforgiving society. The effects of these “sentences” follow the women and their families forever in a way that modern readers can rarely comprehend, while others reap benefits from their social demise.

As society has grown, the rate of consumerism and population of urban areas has increased. The effects of industrial expansion and thoughtless consumption have left the  planet in a dwindling state. It is our social responsibility to maintain the environment for the betterment of the planet and our society. Environmentally conscious design has the potential to impact the moral and ethical viewpoints of it’s audience, functioning as statements of purpose in consumable forms. This project comments on how to bring  consumers back to nature, by designing products inspired by nature. It attempts to take advantage of poor societal habits, with designs that are intended to point out the  tainted relationships humans have had with nature. And in turn, start a dialogue for the audience to rethink how we show up for our environment.

When most people think of the Illuminati, they conjure up ideas of demonic cults and the all seeing eye. Does this stigma have any factual basis? Through my exploration of the historical and modern day Illuminatis, elements of Christianity will be examined as well as the origin to the demonic stigma.
