Offering a fresh comparative lens, The Postcolonial Bildungsroman: Narratives of Youth, Representational Politics, and Aesthetic Reinventions (U Alberta Press, 2025) demonstrates how postcolonial writers have transformed the Bildungsroman from an eighteenth-century European genre meant to express local concerns around childhood development into one of the most cosmopolitan literary mediums for communicating overlapping concerns about global modernity. If literature is the crucial site where people find the language to convey their social experiences, this book reveals how the Bildungsroman now functions in the global world of letters to capture and bear witness to young people's varied interactions and responses to both local and global forces enveloping and shaping their lives. Chapters explore identity, sexuality, human rights, the climate crisis, neoliberal globalization, and a host of other issues in work from a wide range of postcolonial locations across Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand. Forging productive scholarly engagements between narratology and genre theory, the volume documents the aesthetic and thematic shifts that have accompanied the Bildungsroman in the past two centuries, particularly in the context of anticolonial, liberationist, and self-determination struggles from the mid-twentieth century onwards in the global south. With a very diverse array of essays from multiple continents, The Postcolonial Bildungsroman makes a crucial intervention to the existing scholarship on this influential genre and a unique contribution to the study of world literature. Contributors: David Babcock, Sarah Brouillette, Gregory Byala, Deena Dinat, Prathim-Maya Dora-Laskey, José-Santiago Fernández-Vázquez, Ericka A. Hoagland, Elizabeth Jackson, Feroza Jussawala, Andrew David King, Aruna Krishnamurthy, Simone Puleo, Peter Ribic, Arnab Dutta Roy, Craig Smith, Antonette Talaue-Arogo, Paul Ugor, Julieann, Veronica Ulin, Rachel Ann Walsh, Maria Su Wang, Bethany Williamson, Helena Wu, Julia Wurr. Arnab Dutta Roy is an Assistant Professor of English at Florida Gulf Coast University. His research lies at the intersection of postcolonialism, human rights theory, and modern South Asian literature, and his work has appeared or is forthcoming in journals such as Journal of Global Postcolonial Studies, South Asian Review, Comparatist, Genre, New Literary History, and others. He is the co-editor of two books on the postcolonial Bildungsroman: The Postcolonial Bildungsroman: Narratives of Youth, Representational Politics, and Aesthetic Reinventions (University of Alberta Press, 2025) and The Postcolonial Bildungsroman and the Character of Place (forthcoming with University of Nebraska Press, January 2026). In addition, he has co-edited a special issue of the Journal of World Literature titled Constructing the Other: Narrative Empathy and the Ethics of Border-Crossing in World Literature. He is currently working on a monograph titled Universalisms in South Asian Literature that draws on interdisciplinary work in postcolonial theory and human rights to analyze literary responses to colonialism from South Asia. At FGCU, he teaches both graduate and undergraduate courses on world literature and postcolonial theory. Gargi Binju is a PhD scholar at the University of Tuebingen. Learn more about your ad choices.

Over 40% of biotherapeutic failures during clinical development stem from stability problems—and most trace back to protein aggregation that could have been prevented. In this episode of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, David Brühlmann exposes the hidden manufacturing crisis that derails promising biologics programs and delivers the systematic Quality by Design framework that elite biotech companies use to build quality into every process step.David brings two decades of bioprocess expertise from his time leading technology innovation at Merck and now guiding emerging biotech companies through CMC development as Managing Director of Brühlmann Consulting. Drawing on FDA and EMA regulatory guidance as well as landmark industry case studies he transforms complex QbD principles into an actionable roadmap for IND submission.This isn't theoretical regulatory compliance. It's competitive survival. Companies implementing these QbD foundations achieve predictable manufacturing scale-up, accelerated regulatory approval, and significant cost advantages. If your team is navigating CMC development for the first time or struggling with scale-up challenges, this episode provides the blueprint to transform process uncertainty into manufacturing confidence.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The high clinical failure rate for biologics due to protein aggregation and stability problems, and one company's costly lesson in the scale-up phase. (00:00)An introduction to Quality by Design (QbD)—how it differs from traditional development and why “the process is the product” in biologics. (03:09)The three foundational pillars of QbD, with today's focus on product understanding and quality requirements. (05:46)Constructing your Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP): what to include and why starting with the patient is key. (07:05)A real-world QTPP example—the AMAP case study—and how it shaped formulation, packaging, and critical quality standards. (09:45)Defining and prioritizing Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs): measuring what truly matters for safety and efficacy. (11:50)Lessons from Roche/Genentech's QbD journey: regulatory insights and the business value of robust CQA identification. (15:55)The “CQA Reality Check” exercise: a step-by-step method to focus your team on attributes that impact patients.

In what was originally intended to be a structured discussion on “The Ten Steps to Constructing the Secret Sexual Basement,” this episode took an unexpected and deeply personal turn. Instead, I'm joined by Dr. Omar Minwalla for a raw, unfiltered conversation that traces the arc of our individual and shared professional journeys.What unfolds is a rare, intimate glimpse into the foundation of a long-standing friendship - one built on mutual respect, hard truths, and a shared commitment to integrity, even when it's uncomfortable or controversial. We talk openly about what it means to stay committed to telling the truth, to each other and to the work, despite pushback or disagreement.This was never meant to be a public conversation - but by the end, we both felt that what emerged was too meaningful not to share. I believe listeners will find resonance, insight, and maybe even a sense of companionship and loyalty in the honesty of this exchange.Dr. Minwalla will be back soon and hopefully next time we'll get to the secret basement. Until then, this is something different… and maybe more important.Want to connect with us? Schedule your free 15-minute call here.

Wykład dr Marii Donten-Bury w ramach Festiwalu Nauki w Warszawie [27 września 2025 r.]Zobaczymy, jak można opisać i wyznaczyć bryły, które, oglądane z różnych stron, wyglądają podobnie. Poszukamy przykładów takich brył w przyrodzie.Wyobraźmy sobie bryłę, która, oglądana z różnych stron, wygląda tak samo - na przykład wielościan foremny. Zobaczymy, jak można taką bryłę powiązać z pewnym układem symetrii w przestrzeni i jak to pomaga wyznaczyć wyjątkowe, bardzo symetryczne, bryły. Czy przyroda wymaga od różnych swoich obiektów pewnych symetrii?

Duke Energy's Andy Browning joins Dave and Steve to unpack how a modern utility balances today's demand spikes—especially from data centers—with tomorrow's low-carbon grid. Andy traces his path from Babcock & Wilcox field engineer to Duke's GM of Engineering & Construction Services, explains why Duke runs an “all-of-the-above” strategy (gas as a bridge, batteries for flexibility, solar growth, hydro upgrades), and makes the case that nuclear—both large units and SMRs—will anchor long-term reliability. The trio dig into dam stabilization, battery use cases (peak shaving and PV smoothing), project timelines and costs, community engagement, and how policy and tariffs shape what actually gets built. They close with a look at fusion research and a rapid-fire on bourbon, woodworking, and what fuels resilience.Key TakeawaysCareer & scope: Andy oversees engineering, construction, commissioning, quality, safety, and project controls for Duke's big builds.Cultural lesson: International work taught him to respect local pace and processes—context changes what “top priority” means.Hydro safety: Post-FERC reviews are driving earthen-dam rebuilds (compaction, drainage layers) to prevent liquefaction under seismic events.Resource mix: Duke is pursuing gas, nuclear, solar, hydro, and batteries; offshore wind unlikely near-term given costs and policy headwinds.Batteries' role: Great for peak shaving and smoothing solar variability; typical systems are 2–4-hour duration (e.g., 10 MW / 40 MWh).Scale & siting: Solar needs ~6–10 acres per MW and only delivers during daylight; data centers requesting 400–1,000 MW reshape planning.Timelines & costs (rule of thumb): Batteries ~12–15 months after development; solar similar; combined-cycle gas ~4 years; nuclear 10+ years.Cost reality: A 75-MW solar site ≈ $100–150M; a 1,000-MW gas plant ≈ ~$2B; nuclear is multiples beyond—but with long lifespans.Nuclear outlook: Expect SMRs + large reactors; challenges include qualified supply chains, workforce, and public education; existing units targeting 80-year life via extensions.Data-center surge: Demand is soaring; innovative financing/ownership models (e.g., behind-the-meter, cost-sharing) may protect retail customers.

Constructing Student Mobility: How Universities Recruit Students and Shape Pathways between Berkeley and Seoul (MIT Press, 2023) challenges the popular image of the international student in the American imagination, an image of affluence, access, and privilege. In this provocative book, higher education scholar Stephanie Kim argues that universities -- not the students -- create the paths that allow students their international mobility. Focusing on universities in the United States and South Korea that aggressively grew their student pools in the aftermath of the Great Recession, Kim shows the lengths to which universities will go to expand enrollments as they draw from the same pool of top South Korean students. Using ethnographic research gathered over a ten-year period in which international admissions were impacted by the Great Recession, changes in US presidential administrations, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Constructing Student Mobility provides crucial insights into the purpose, effects, and future of student recruitment across the Pacific. Constructing Student Mobility received the Best Book Award from the Association for the Study of Higher Education Council on International Higher Education. Stephanie Kim is a scholar, educator, author, and practitioner in the field of comparative and international higher education. She teaches at Georgetown University, where she is an Associate Professor of the Practice and Faculty Director of Higher Education Administration in the School of Continuing Studies.

In this episode, we delve into the captivating realms of tycoon games, world-building games, and stage builders, exploring the multifaceted mechanics that allow players to construct, manipulate, and ultimately experience their creations. Our discourse encompasses renowned titles such as RollerCoaster Tycoon, SimCity, Planet Zoo, and Jurassic World Evolution, each exemplifying unique elements of design and player engagement. We reflect on the intrinsic appeal of crafting intricate systems and the allure of chaos that these games often embody, allowing players to explore both creative expression and the consequences of their choices. Throughout our conversation, we examine how such interactive experiences not only entertain but also provoke thought regarding ethics, responsibility, and the nature of creation itself. Join us as we navigate these digital landscapes and uncover the profound insights they offer into our understanding of agency, order, and chaos.This podcast episode presents an in-depth examination of world-building games, focusing on the creative and functional aspects that define the genre. The hosts, Laura Wittman and Joshua Noel, engage in a spirited discussion about the allure of constructing virtual environments, from theme parks to cities, while questioning the underlying motivations that drive players to create. Is the goal to achieve beauty, functionality, or merely to indulge in the chaos of destruction? This inquiry serves as a springboard for a broader exploration of how these games reflect our desires and the complexities of societal design.The conversation is enriched by personal anecdotes, as the hosts reminisce about their early experiences with iconic games such as RollerCoaster Tycoon and SimCity. They recount the thrill of crafting intricate virtual worlds and the inevitable chaos that ensued when they unleashed disasters upon their carefully constructed cities. These stories not only highlight the nostalgia tied to these gaming experiences but also underscore the dual nature of creation and destruction inherent in world-building games. The hosts express a shared appreciation for the freedom these games offer, allowing players to experiment with their creations and observe the consequences of their choices in a risk-free environment.As the episode progresses, the hosts delve into the philosophical dimensions of chaos and control within gaming. They argue that the appeal of chaos is twofold: it provides a means of escape from the constraints of daily life and offers a platform for exploring deeper ethical questions related to creation and responsibility. The hosts suggest that gaming can be a profound medium for understanding the complexities of existence, urging listeners to contemplate their roles as creators in both virtual and real-world contexts. Ultimately, the episode advocates for embracing the chaos inherent in creation, inviting players to reflect on the impact of their decisions in the expansive realm of gaming.Takeaways: In this episode, we explore the intricacies of tycoon games, emphasizing their role in fostering creativity and world-building capabilities.

Memorial Day isn't about a long weekend and BBQs. It's about honoring those who gave their lives in defense of America…and it's about supporting the families they left behind. Across US Army Special Operations Command remembering the legacy and impact of the fallen is a daily duty. This Memorial Day, Fran Racioppi sat down with Major General Gil Ferguson and Dalia Munoz to share the story of the day that changed, and intertwined, their lives forever. The day SFC Pedro Munoz, Dalia's dad, was killed in action. General Ferguson was the officer charged with informing her and her family of his death. Delivering a message no one wants to receive and no one wants to give. Dalia, her mother and her grandmother have never been the same.In this emotional tribute, Dalia and General Ferguson recount that grief-stricken January morning; the planning and preparation behind the casualty affairs process; and the shock, disbelief and sadness that suddenly overcomes a family. Regulation says the casualty officer and the family shall never meet again; which was the case until General Ferguson became the USASOC Chief of Staff, a role that put him in charge of the Protocol office, the office in which Dalia worked. Confronted with the biggest leadership challenge of his career, General Ferguson had to decide if, and how, to tell Dalia about their encounter years earlier. This episode is about service. It's about leadership when it matters most. And it's about what it means to live a life shaped by loss, and still find purpose on the other side. It's raw, it's real, and it's one to never forget.Special thanks to General Ferguson and Dalia for their openness and willingness to share the rare bond they hold. Thanks to the USASOC Historian's office for hosting us.

You deliver the message as the notification officer and then get off the X.”“Doesn't matter how much you prepare, you're not prepared.”“Everything you think you've known is completely shattered.”“You kind of only get one shot at things that you're doing and so you have to do them well.” “The leadership has to be able to understand how to give the formation the room and the space to grieve, but also how to channel that grief into the next step, which is the requirement to potentially go out the door the next day.”The Jedburgh Podcast is brought to you by University of Health & Performance, providing our Veterans world-class education and training as fitness and nutrition entrepreneurs.Follow the Jedburgh Podcast and the Green Beret Foundation on social media.
