Item Conference review: AnthropologyCon 2017(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018) Collins, Samuel Gerald; Durington, Matthew Slover; Gonzalez-Tennant, Edward; Lorenc, Marc; Mizer, Nick; Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal JusticeAnthropologyCon 2017 transpired across multiple sites at the annual American Anthropology Association meeting in Washington, DC. The first event included a workshop on “Anthropology of/through Games” on Thursday afternoon, November 30, where participants learned about, brainstormed on, designed, and prototyped table-top games under the tutelage of Dr. Anatasia Salter, a game designer and games scholar from the University of Central Florida. In the second event, workshop participants and other interested attendees played games at the “#AnthropologyCon Salon” on Saturday afternoon, December 2, including a couple of the table-top games prototyped during the first workshop. Finally, participants adjourned to the Board Room, a nearby gaming pub in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, DC, to play card games and role-playing games (Figure 1). In lieu of a single-authored review of AnthropologyCon, the organizers have asked themselves key questions about their goals and future plans.Item Dissection of salicylic acid-mediated defense signaling networks(Taylor and Francis, 2009-08-01) Lu, HuaThe small phenolic molecule salicylic acid (SA) plays a key role in plant defense. Significant progress has been made recently in understanding SA-mediated defense signaling networks. Functional analysis of a large number of genes involved in SA biosynthesis and regulation of SA accumulation and signal transduction has revealed distinct but interconnecting pathways that orchestrate the control of plant defense. Further studies utilizing combinatorial approaches in genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and genomics will uncover finer details of SA-mediated defense networks as well as further insights into the crosstalk of SA with other defense signaling pathways. The complexity of defense networks illustrates the capacity of plants to integrate multiple developmental and environmental signals into a tight control of the costly defense responses.Item Gentling The Savage Enormity Of Gargantuan Space: Ann Hamilton at the Armory(Originally published by: artcritical, 2012-12-20) Spitz, Ellen Handler; Honors CollegeItem “I can’t help you.

National recognition of a revived states’ rights doctrine, manifest in “separate but equal,” would assure policies of white supremacy for generations. By giving legitimacy to segregation in education, employment, housing, and public accommodations, supremacist policies nearly erased the bravery, idealism, and accomplishments of the first civil rights movement that Kate Masur so insightfully chronicles. Segregation masquerading as “separate but equal” rights supplied legitimacy for race discrimination. After Plessy, though new generations of activists opposed segregation in the United States Post Office and the United States armed forces, no congress and no president would challenge segregation until confronted by comparison with the Nazi regime.
