Desiring Disability
The concept of transability, also referred to in medical discourse as Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), remains a contentious subject, eliciting strong public and professional reactions. This study examines the media and public discourse surrounding a recent case in which a 20-year-old man in Quebec voluntarily underwent the amputation of two fingers. Using qualitative content analysis, we analyzed 15 news articles and three Reddit threads…
Interdisciplinary provider visits attenuate relationship between patient concerns and distress in older adults with cancer
“Any sort of assessment that does not contain writing a multiple-page APA style essay, count me in”
The use of art-based approaches in teaching critical disability studies can provide students with the opportunity and space to take creative risks and advance their critical thinking skills in ways that go beyond the traditional assignment. Anchored in a critical disability studies perspective, in this paper, instructors and students in a third-year level critical disability studies course share our reflections on a playwriting assignment aimed a…
Development, acceptability, and perceived effectiveness of a trauma-informed adolescent self-regulation intervention
The Hunt for an Eternal Legacy
Today's image of the vampire in Russia is a fascinating case study in how people both bring Slavic folklore to life in the digital age and how they make use of developing technologies to participate in political protest. For instance, online commentators and political cartoonists portray Russia's current president, Vladimir Putin, as a modern-day vampire who feeds on the dual policies of expansionism and political repression. On the other hand, h…

Chekhov and Zola's Naturalism
It is a critical commonplace that the young Chekhov owed a substantial debt to the French author Emile Zola, who was famous throughout European letters, many would say notorious, for his forthright, oftentimes graphic depictions of sexuality and the human body. However, this commonplace is a shallow one: most parallels between Chekhov and Zola in contemporary criticism are made in passing and a full‐length study on the two authors has yet to be u…
Какая роскошь! Darwin as Artist in Chekhov's Fiction
In his creative practice Chekhov embraced and encouraged fertile crossover between art and science. This essay examines his relationship to Charles Darwin and his work as a fascinating case in point, for Chekhov ranked Darwin not only as a preeminent scientist, but as one of the world's leading creative geniuses, alongside figures such as Tolstoy and Shakespeare. And not unlike a fellow artist, Chekhov was also committed to investigating the pote…

Psychology doctoral students’ perspectives on addressing spirituality and religion with clients
Students (n = 543) in doctoral clinical and counseling psychology programs were surveyed about training experiences with regard to addressing the spiritual and religious beliefs and practices (SRBP) of their patients. About one fourth of the respondents indicated they had received no training related to patients’ SRBP. Another half had only read material on their own or discussed such issues with a supervisor. Nonetheless, respondents almost univ…
Erythrocyte membrane fatty acid content in infants consuming formulas supplemented with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA)
In this observational study, we compared erythrocyte membrane fatty acids in infants consuming formula supplemented with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) with those consuming other types of milks. In 110 infants who were participants in a cohort study of otherwise healthy children at risk for developing type 1 diabetes, erythrocytes were collected at approximately 9 months of age, and fatty acid content was measured as a perc…

Developing the Governance Capacity of Local Elected Officials
The job of local elected officials (LEOs) in governing municipalities is a complicated and demanding one. How LEOs handle their jobs affects taxpayers and their communities' present and future generations. The task of LEO development involves learning and is a public issue. LEOs govern in the context of representative democracy. Once installed in office, LEOs are trustees for the voters, acting as lawmakers, policy makers, and fiduciary agents.(1…
