Discovering Britain and Ireland: Goldsmith’s Grand Tours
1. James Watt’s ‘Discovering Britain and Ireland: Goldsmith’s Grand Tours’ focuses on Oliver Goldsmith’s sophisticated use of tourist personae, notably an ‘English gentleman’ in rural Ireland and the Chinese philosopher Lien Chi Altangi in London. The works which feature these imaginary travellers in different ways explore the connection between Britain, Ireland, and the wider world, and The Citizen of the World (1762) uses Altangi to reckon with…
Discovering Britain and Ireland in the Romantic Period: Grand Tours
Even as members of the social elite participated in the European Grand Tour, travellers, writers, and readers increasingly recognized that Britain and Ireland might offer sights and experiences to rival the continent. This collection examines the practice and representation of tourism on 'home' ground during the period when modern Britain was invented and became a powerful and prosperous imperial nation. Interdisciplinary essays explore the diver…
Building an agile state-wide research infrastructure to address Covid-19 and emerging threats: Insights from an equity-centered public health and academic collaboration in California
The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for efficient real-time evidence generation to inform public health interventions and policies. To address this gap, a formalized research partnership between the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the University of California (UC) was created. The aim of this case study is to describe the achievements and lessons learned from the California Collaborative for Public Health Research (CPR3).…
Orientalism and Sexuality in the Eighteenth-Century Novel
The Citizen of the World
The Citizen of the World is a highly readable yet deceptively sophisticated text, using the popular eighteenth-century device of the imaginary observer. Its main narrator, the Chinese philosopher Lien Chi Altangi, draws on traditional ideas of Confucian wisdom as he tries (and sometimes fails) to come to terms with the commercial modernity and spectacle of imperial London. Goldsmith explores a moment of economic and social transformation in Brita…
Elite and Popular Orientalisms
This essay emphasises the continuity across high and low cultural forms of a generic and non-referential Orientalism, comprising ‘old’ but adaptable stories (the Arabian Nights’ tales) and tropes (Oriental despotism). Addressing the interface of literary and visual representation, it begins by looking at popular theatre, where in the case of Lewis’s Timour the Tartar , supplementary spectacle compromised the play’s critical reputation but ensured…

We assigned US census industry codes to COVID-19 outbreaks reported to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) from January 1, 2020, to August 31, 2021, and determined numbers of outbreaks, numbers of outbreak-associated cases, and outbreak incidence levels by industry. We determined characteristics of outbreak-associated cases…
Disparities in risk perception and low harm reduction services awareness, access, and utilization among young people with newly reported hepatitis C infections in California, 2018
Among young people with HCV, we found limited pre-diagnosis HCV risk perception and access to harm reduction services, with racial/ethnic disparities. Interventions to increase harm reduction services awareness, access, and utilization among young PWID, especially young PWID of color, may be warranted

British Orientalisms, 1759–1835
How did Britons understand their relationship with the East in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries? James Watt's new study remaps the literary history of British Orientalisms between 1759, the 'year of victories' in the Seven Years' War, and 1835, when T. B. Macaulay published his polemical 'Minute on Indian Education'. It explores the impact of the war on Britons' cultural horizons, and the different and shifting ways in which Bri…
Orientalism and Hebraism
This chapter begins by showing how Sir William Jones used ‘Eastern’ poetry as a means of regenerating English literary culture and expanding its range, exemplified by his role in mediating Hindu mythology for his readers. While works by Coleridge, Shelley, and others responded to this stimulus, a tradition of allegorical verse romance pioneered by Landor used Eastern settings to reflect on the politics of the revolutionary era. Southey’s Thalaba …

Orientalism and empire
In a 1762 review of John Langhorne's Solyman and Almena , the Monthly 's critic stated that there was so little of “invention or originality” in the work that “a reader, who is but moderately acquainted with this modish kind of literature, may anticipate most of the incidents”; “in truth,” he went on to add, “few of the Oriental Novels differ very essentially from each other.” Even as reviewers sometimes complained that moral tales such as Langho…
The Influence of Synchrony and Sensory Modality on the Person Perception Process in Computer-Mediated Groups
This study examined the effects of synchrony and the number of cues on the person perception process in computer-mediated communication. One hundred and forty-two participants in groups of three or four engaged in collaboration over five weeks to develop oral reports, using alternate versions of communication systems or meeting face-to-face. Consistent with the hyperpersonal model, those using low cue media felt their partners were more credible,…
Goldsmith's Cosmopolitanism
Although imaginary travelers and voyages date back at least as far as the work of Lucian, the fi gure of the fi ctional oriental traveler seems to belong primarily to the eighteenth century. Following the great success of Giovanni Marana's Letters Writ by a Turkish Spy, fi rst published in Paris in 1684, a wide range of European writers sought to exploit the various satiric and comic possibilities that were off ered by Eastern spies and observers…

Changes on the Myers-Briggs following Psychedelic Therapy: A Pilot Study
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was developed to assess Jungian typologies and perceptual-judgment preferences in normal Ss. The Indicator consists of four bipolar scales: Extraversion-Introversion (E-I), Sensation-Intuition (S-N), Thinking-Feeling (TF ) , and Judging-Perceiving (J-P ) ( Myers-Briggs, 1962) . Previous studies by the present investigators concerning post-psychedelic-therapy changes in personal functioning suggest increases in heal…
