  • Pooling for Sars-CoV2 Surveillance

    Open AccessAlexandra M Simas, Jimmy W Crott et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Repeated testing of a population is critical for limiting the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and for the safe reopening of educational institutions such as kindergarten—grade 12 (K-12) schools and colleges. Many screening efforts utilize the CDC RT-PCR based assay which targets two regions of the novel Coronavirus nucleocapsid gene.

  • Keeping it Real

    This book has resurrected a literary history that takes the popularity of slave narratives seriously, tracing their transformative power on the literary marketplace of the nineteenth century.

    Open AccessAugusta RohrbachARTICLEProspects2001

    Most Literary analyses of slave narratives consider them either within the context of white mainstream writing or as the beginnings of a rich literary tradition. Scholars have – in part to promote racial equality – reckoned their value in relation to the interventions the narratives have performed with white textual forms and/or as extensions of the oral tradition.

  • "You're a Natural-Born Literary Man"

    Augusta RohrbachARTICLEThe New England Quarterly2000

    J am a comparatively dead cult with my statues cut down and the grass growing over them in the pale moonlight, William Dean Howells lamented in a 1915 letter to his friend and fellow writer Henry James.' By that date, the official mustachioed Howells, the genteel man of letters (1837-1920), had been eclipsed both as a writerly figure and an authorial model. Willa Cather, some twenty years earlier, had already pronounced him numb, if not dead, to …
