Eiko Ishioka was a graphic, costume, and set designer. She was born July 12, 1938 in Tokyo, Japan. Growing up, her life always fused western and Japanese culture. She graduated from the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1960 and immediately started working for the largest cosmetic company in Japan, Shiseido. There she revolutionized the poster with her bold use of diverse models and progressive feminist messages that defied tradition. Ishioka later worked as a creative director for the department store Parco, producing iconic posters and television ads that broke with tradition and showed no products. In 1983, Ishioka left Parco and opened her own design studio. Once in her own practice, Eiko experimented more and more with surrealism as she moved into designing sets and costumes for film and theater. She won awards for her work on Mishima (1985) and Madame Butterfly (1988). Ishioka would go on to win the 1993 Academy Award for Best Costume Design (along with multiple other awards) for her incredible costume designs for Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. It was Ishioka's life work to push up against tradition. The result is a stunning body of work worthy of inclusion in the design history canon.TIMELINE1938 –  b.

The slogan, "Defund the Police," came about in the wake of that George Floyd Moment. Remedies from police cameras, challenging police unions, and tampering down the use of the police officers Bill of Rights have been suggested to cut down on the numbers of police killings of unarmed civilians. But there are institutional mechanisms that entrench police representation in the upper echelons of municipal governments that also have a strong role in providing cover for police when they abuse their power and cause harm to civilians. In this episode we will ask: "How does Municipal Politics help shield police from accountability?"   About Max Felker-Kantor (https://www.maxfelkerkantor.com/): Dr. Max Felker-Kantor is the author of Policing Los Angeles: Race, Resistance, and the Rise of the LAPD (University of North Carolina Press, 2018).

In this episode, we discuss the first successful orca whale capture by Marineland of the Pacific. While the whale, Wanda, didn’t survive long, her capture caught the imagination of entertainers and the interest of the scientific community. We delve into the events of that day, subsequent captures and discuss approaching biology from a historical standpoint. Taylor Bailey is a first year master's student of history at Portland State University. He's writing his thesis on the history of killer whale captures and studying animal and environmental history as well as the 20th century Pacific Slope. Taylor also holds a BA in Political Science from Otterbein University. Prior to moving to Portland to pursue his MA, he worked at Farm Sanctuary, a rescue facility in Northern California that cares for abused or abandoned farm animals. Taylor is currently an intern at the Pacific Historical Review, and will be serving as the Caroline P. Stoel Editorial Fellow for the 2016-2017 year.
