There is more space in the narrative world for stories both by and about people with diverse experiences. History is a story told by the victors: until it's not. Lit-X Teacher Cohort members Eric Kallenborn (fine arts department chair, Oak Lawn Community High School) and teacher Michael Gianfrancesco (North Providence High School) collected questions on social media from teachers, parents, and librarians about all things comics in the classroom and posed those questions to this amazing panel: Ronell Whitaker (English department chair, Community High School District 218), Lucy Knisley (comic creator Stepping Stones, Relish, French Milk), Jason Walz (teacher/comic creator Last Pick, Homesick), and Lisa Wu (consultant and former teacher).ģ:00pm – 4:00pm GeekED: Re-storied: Re-imagining creative privilege ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Its beginnings are in the world of avant-classical composition, but the book also encompasses the cosmic funk of Stevie Wonder, Giorgio Moroder, and unforgettable 80s electronic pop from the likes of Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, and Laurie Anderson - right up to present day innovators on the underground scene. It's a tale of mavericks and future dreamers overcoming Luddite resistance, malfunctioning devices, and sonic mayhem. He takes us through the musique concr te of radical composers such as Edgard Var se, Pierre Schaeffer, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, to the gradual absorption of electronic instrumentation into the mainstream: be it through the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and the work of pioneers like Delia Derbyshire, grandiose prog rock, or the more DIY approach of electronica, house, and techno. In FUTURE SOUNDS, David Stubbs charts the evolution of electronic music from the earliest mechanical experiments in the late nineteenth century to the pre-World War I inventions of the Futurist Luigi Russolo, author of the "Art Of Noises" manifesto. ![]() The definitive guide to electronic music. ![]() ![]() Kensington Palace and Prince Charles would no doubt discover, and attempt to squash, the project quickly. Morton was a known and – at six feet four with glasses – a conspicuous reporter. Since Colthurst is a frequent visitor to Kensington Palace, no one suspects a thing.Ī major problem? How to conduct the interviews. She records her answers on tape, and Colthurst returns them to Morton. Morton provides him with questions, which he, in turn, passes on to the princess. Secretly, Colthurst agrees to be an intermediary between the two. “But I don’t want to be responsible for starting a war.” “I’d love to have a book out there so everyone understands how difficult it’s been,” Debicki’s Diana says to her friend James Colthurst when he tells the princess that a journalist named Andrew Morton is writing a book. Leaving Charles means potentially sacrificing not only her role as an altruistic public servant but her sons: As heirs to the throne, they’d have to remain behind in England if Diana were to move anywhere else. The press follows her every move – so much so that Diana even fears that her home at Kensington Palace might be bugged. ![]() (A note for the reader: spoilers are to follow.)

James Marion Sims helps to pioneer modern gynecology by repeatedly operating on a group of female slaves, without consent or anesthetics. Chapter 2 explores how Southern surgeons develop medical advances through abusive experimentation on slaves. ![]() In order to justify the institution of slavery, a number of scientists claim that black people naturally lack physical and mental prowess and require the supervision of white slaveowners to survive-a set of beliefs known as “scientific racism” (32). In Chapter 1, Washington describes the general culture of health care in the Antebellum South, exploring how medical treatment of slaves rested solely in the hands of slaveowners. Washington argues that blacks have been unfairly treated by American doctors since the birth of the United States. Part 1 of Medical Apartheid focuses on the historic treatment of African Americans. ![]() ![]() She turned to books for comfort, often skipping class in high school to engross herself in reading at the park. There was an awful subtext there, that our lives as daughters weren’t as valuable as sons.”Īlthough those kinds of remarks didn’t have an adverse effect on her self-esteem, she struggled with depression when she was young because she didn’t feel she fit in culturally or socially with her peers.
