Scientific Societies Fostering Inclusivity in the Life Sciences Through Engagement of Undergraduate Scientists
Scientific societies serve as communities of practice in which scientists develop many of the skills and connections required for the progression of their careers. For example, scientific societies offer their members opportunities to attend career development programs, gain experience in communicating science, and receive recognition for achievements within their discipline. Programming for undergraduate student members has recently been increas…
Refashioning Noir
This article compares two works picked by celebrity book clubs in the summer of 2018 for their dissection of mainstream America’s ongoing obsession with the violence inflicted on beautiful young bodies of those who identify as female: Alice Bolin’s essay collection Dead Girls and Maria Hummel’s mystery Still Lives. In reading them together with Melanie Pullen’s High Fashion Crime Scenes (2003–2017), a series of monumental, five-feet-by-six-feet p…
Ravishing Vancouver Circa 1948
This article takes its cues from autobiography scholar Marlene Kadar’s expansive, archivally focused feminist approach to life writing in its examination of two exemplars of visual culture: Ivan Sayers and Claus Jahnke’s From Rationing to Ravishing: The Transformation of Women’s Fashion in the 1940s & 1950s exhibition and Stan Douglas’s innovatively staged Helen Lawrence and its sister project, the interactive app and installation, Circa 1948. It…
Constellating stardom, Berlin-style
This article charts the importance of Berlin in the constellation of Bowie’s success and probes what stardom means in the context of Berlin. It links what Berlin meant to Bowie with what Bowie’s connection to the city has meant to Berlin in its establishing itself as the ‘poor but sexy’ clubbing capital of Europe. In order to get at the stylistic implications of this form of stardom, I bring together Bowie’s Berlin experiences with those of two c…
Refiguring Red Vienna
This article’s focus is Planet Ottakring (dir. Michael Riebl, 2015), a socially aware romantic comedy in which an alternative currency is used to free one of Vienna’s most rapidly gentrifying districts from the clutches of a local loan shark. In establishing Riebl’s film as a stunning, if unusual and underappreciated, critique of the banking industry’s role in the ongoing global financial crisis, the article situates Planet Ottakring as a respons…

Berlin
Historical films about Hitler and Nazi Germany are perennially popular both within and beyond the academy. However, even in films not set in, or in any way involving, Nazi Berlin but rather only filmed on location in the city, material memories of the city’s fascist spaces can be shown to exert their influence. In comparing the eerily similar geo-aesthetic styles of two relatively obscure, relatively recent science fiction action films—Kurt Wimme…

Polarizing Avalon
This article traces Asian and transnational imaginings of Europe in Avalon, Japanese anime director Mamoru Oshii's ( Ghost in the Shell ) ten-years-in-themaking feature film. Like The Matrix , which successfully combined video-game culture aesthetics with Asian anime and martial-arts style, Oshii's film is similarly indebted to game culture and also spawned its own worldwide cult audience. What sets Avalon apart in this tradition is that it was f…

The Writing of Asja Lacis
Nadezhda Mandel’shtam, Romola Nijinsky and the Literary Legacies of their Love
Is black an appropriate colour for literary widows? Some literary biographers have tended to think so, those who have maligned or satirized women like Florence Hardy and Sonya Tolstoy, making them look ridiculous for their willingness to attached, Nora Barnacle-like, to underside of an author's career; and then, when that career is over, to submit herself to theunrewarded task of preserving that career in public imagination.' However, there are a…
