Honey may be one of the weirder things you’ll see in a science lab. But researchers at Washington State University Vancouver say honey is key to what they’re working on: faster, cleaner computers. OPB’s science reporter Jes Burns learned about their research - including the effort to make computer chips work more like human brains - and gives us an inside look.

SPEAKERSTanja Burkhard, Shena Sanchez Tanja Burkhard 00:16Okay, thank you so much for inviting us to the qualitative conversations podcast. My name is Tanja Burkhard, and I'm really happy to be here with Shena Sanchez to talk about CRT and qualitative research. We'll start by maybe me introducing myself briefly and then I will give it over to Shena. My name is Tanya Burkhard. And I am an assistant professor at Washington State University Vancouver. And I've been a member of the QR SIG for a while and I'm very excited to be on this podcast today. Shena? Shena Sanchez 00:59Hi, I'm Shena Sanchez. I'm an assistant professor at the University of Alabama and qualitative research. And I'm happy to be here and have this conversation. Tanja Burkhard 01:13Okay, and so I know just a little bit about your work from a while ago, and I would love to hear more about what you're currently doing. But before we do that, could you speak a little bit about yourself and your work and how you came to CRT as a methodological or theoretical framework, just kind of your journey to where you are in employing critical race theory? Shena Sanchez 01:37Yeah, um, so my work is my work centers, student voice and identity, specifically, girls of color from poor and working class backgrounds, immigrant backgrounds, I also look at educators well being, and my hope is that, you know, we can understand students better into an identity better and as well as our educators to form just better school communities. Right? It's because so much of, you know, the school is about relationship and so. So just finding better ways to care for people who are in schools, students and educators alike. And I came to critical race theory. So it's kind of like a long story. But to make it short, many, many years ago, I was in a master's program at Vanderbilt. And that's when I really just started kind of exploring, just from like an academic standpoint, like inequalities and injustices and that sort of thing. And I was just very dissatisfied with the course offerings, because I didn't really feel like there were courses that helped us understand sort of the the power structures and the hierarchies that existed. So I don't know what I was doing. But I found this class in the course catalog. And it wasn't called critical race theory, it was called something else. And it was taught in the higher ed, I think department, and I took it and that's where I first was introduced to CRT. And I think like many people who come to the theory after just like years of just experience and knowledge that something is up, right, and that we like, for me, I didn't have the words to describe it. And I didn't have that theoretical grounding, and just reading their spells work. Like just from the get go, I was like, this makes so much sense. Like this is it and then bringing in, you know, Kimberly Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, just like just going through all of the, you know, founders of critical race theory. It just, to me, it really opened my eyes gave me the language gave me sort of the framework for understanding, not just my experiences, but how I was observing, you know, the world and society. So that's really where it started. And honestly, that's what made me want to go and get a PhD. That's what really prompted me to want to learn more. And so I looked for a program that really, you know, emphasize critical theory and had scholars and faculty that, you know, we're experts in critical race theory, and that's how I ended up at UCLA. And from there, I just kind of took the, you know, the years in grad school where you have ample time to, to just explore and be curious and learn. A
Ed Hagen is a professor of anthropology at Washington State University Vancouver. During our conversation, Ed talks about the evolutionary reasons for two of humanity's most common mental illnesses: anxiety and depression. He also talks about psychic pain, the correlation between grip strength and depression, hypervigilance and anxiety, differences in suicide rates between men and women, and suicide attempts being an "honest signal of need."Ed has noted that depression is commonly "intertwined with social conflict" and is a legitimate indication of a threat to one's biological fitness. Millions suffer every day from a poor or an intolerable psychological state. Ed's work and his original ideas are a potential corrective to the common view that psychological ill-health is due primarily to a "chemical imbalance." He encourages us to look deeper, to take a more comprehensive look, and to use an evolutionary lens to begin to try to both understand and help alleviate unnecessary suffering.------------Support via VenmoSupport on SubstackSupport on Patreon------------Show notesRate on SpotifyRate on Apple PodcastsSocial media and all episodes------------(00:00) Intro

Sunny is a past President of the Association for Conflict Resolution and she is currently on the Board and serves as the Vice President for Oregon Mediation Association. In this episode: Do you have a toxic work environment? Do you often find yourself trying to resolve conflicts among your employees? More importantly, do you have a good system in place for dispute resolution within your company? Sunny Sassaman, the Founder of ADR Group NW, believes that there is no one size fits all when it comes to developing a good dispute resolution system for a workplace. Company culture is always the main consideration when building out this system because it helps determine how well team members relate to one another and how issues can be resolved within the team. But Sunny explains that it is always best for organizations to have a neutral and trustworthy third part to help mediate conflict. Why? Because this not only helps put things into perspective, it also makes the conversation more inclusive and offers potential solutions that the team might otherwise miss. On this episode of the Systems Simplified podcast, Adi Klevit is joined by Sunny Sassaman, the Founder of ADR Group NW, to talk about developing a good dispute resolution system in organizations. Sunny differentiates between a toxic and non-toxic work environment, discusses the importance of getting an outside mediator, and shares examples of conflicts she has helped resolve. Stay tuned.

Erika Parker Price has a story which will sound familiar to those who have a major employment gap in their resumes and have experienced the resulting fallout. She speaks to how determination and focus helped her recoup her long-term goal to be with a cutting edge tech company after leaving the workforce for 13 years. Erika received her bachelor's degree from Santa Clara University in business administration. She later earned an MBA from Washington State University Vancouver. Her first job after undergraduate school was working on the sales floor at Nordstrom's. After a year, she landed an entry-level position with inside sales at Microsoft. She was promoted to marketing manager as she increased her responsibilities and knowledge base. At this point she married, and that decision, would influence the direction of her career. Her husband was studying to be a physician and it became necessary to relocate in order for him to continue his studies. She pitched a remote working situation to her Microsoft supervisor who favored the proposal, but unfortunately, the supervisor's superior was not so enthusiastic. Faced with the dilemma this presented, Erika left Microsoft in 1995 after a productive and successful 3 year stint. Eventually she landed a position as a product manager at Symantec where she stayed for a year and a half before a better opportunity came along at Intel. There she and her team managed the top 500 solution providers in North America. Eventually she transitioned to Intel's inside program where she promoted most of their major products. At this point she was working remotely from Nebraska while her team was based in Oregon. Of course, this necessitated a lot of travel for her. She also had two young children by this time, and they were only two years apart in age. Erika's plate began to overflow with her family and work responsibilities. The family moved yet once more to Seattle as her husband was now practicing cardiology there. Erika was stressed, overwhelmed and feeling like she wasn't doing a good job at work or being a mom. It was at this juncture she decided to step back and take some time off to destress and sort things out. When she made her decision to separate from Intel, she had no plan. Slowly though her life and career came together to follow a new course. She soon realized her career outside the home was not over. It was just on pause. Although Erika left employment, she didn't stop working. She had always wanted to have a podcast, so she made that happen. (Check it out: Ready Pause Go) She did a variety of other things from home too including writing children's books and blogging, as well as starting her own marketing business. As it happened, she did marketing for a friend with a construction company and handled that business for a couple of years. This job, along with her podcast, became her work focus. Eventually she worked for the contractor full-time and put a lot of energy too into producing dynamic, relevant podcasts. During the period of 13 years at home, her kids grew while her desire to return to the tech world remained. After much effort, she was able to break back in by jumping over lots of hurdles, some of which she'll describe. And this is what is so special about Erika's story. She will share with you how there was power to be had in that lengthy hiatus she took. She will explain how if you choose to leave the marketplace for a period of time, you can continue your professional growth and develop additional marketable skills. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. One year ago, Erika rejoined Microsoft. Her own inspirational podcasts continue to be her side gig. Listen as she shares her journey with Amy, and if you are entering into, or are in the midst of a resume gap situation, perhaps you will gain some helpful insight today. Topics in this episode: Realize that a resume gap is often a bigger deal to you than it is to a potential employer How to find ways to keep up to speed How to network and why it's important When to start your own business if that's your goal How you can turn frequent job moves and travel into a plus Links: Erika Parker Price | LinkedIn About | Ready Pause Go
Southwest Washington's 3rd Congressional District holds the unique distinction of being the only district touching the Pacific Ocean that is held by a Republican. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler has served the district since 2010 and is hoping to win a sixth term as she faces one of her toughest political challenges yet. For the second time, Democrat Carolyn Long is hoping to convince voters it's time for a change. Long is a political science professor at Washington State University-Vancouver. The race is a rematch from 2018 when Long came within about five percentage points of Herrera Beutler. In previous elections, the congresswoman had beaten her opponents by double-digits.

Emerging out of a 2016 conference, Andra Chastain and Timothy Lorek have brought together Environmental History, Latin American Studies, and Science and Technology Studies in a single volume that reshapes scholarly understandings of Latin America’s Long Cold War. Rather than emphasize diplomatic, social or cultural histories of conflict, this volume emphasizes the roles of “experts” who cast themselves as apolitical technocrats just working on the ground. Chastain and Lorek’s book argues that experts and the networks in which they traveled significantly shaped geopolitical agendas, local cultures, and were in fact central to the history of the Cold War. The essays in Itineraries of Expertise: Science, Technology, and the Environment in Latin America (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2020) focus on Chile, Mexico, Cuba, and Peru, in order to explore how knowledge circulated regionally as well as locally and globally. Essay topics vary from the space race to the Green Revolution, and from the Santiago Metro to Ubre Blanca, Cuba’s most famous dairy cow. By focusing on itineraries rather than exchanges or knowledge transfers, the contributors emphasize the movement of technology, knowledge, and practice within the global south, and particularly decenter the United States from the Cold War narrative. With summative essays from such luminaries as Gil Joseph on Latin America’s Long Cold War, and Edin Medina and Mark Carey combining STS and Environmental Studies, this work will be of great use to graduate students, teachers, and scholars in all three fields. Other contributors include: Tore Olsson, Mary Roldán, Reinaldo Funes-Monzote, Steven Palmer, Thomas Rath, Pedro Ignacio Alonso, Hugo Palmarola, Mark Healey, Fernando Purcell, Emily Wakild, and Javiera Barandiarán.

Rather than emphasize diplomatic, social or cultural histories of conflict, this volume emphasizes the roles of “experts” who cast themselves as apolitical technocrats just working on the ground. Chastain and Lorek’s book argues that experts and the networks in which they traveled significantly shaped geopolitical agendas, local cultures, and were in fact central to the history of the Cold War. The essays in Itineraries of Expertise: Science, Technology, and the Environment in Latin America (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2020) focus on Chile, Mexico, Cuba, and Peru, in order to explore how knowledge circulated regionally as well as locally and globally. Essay topics vary from the space race to the Green Revolution, and from the Santiago Metro to Ubre Blanca, Cuba’s most famous dairy cow. By focusing on itineraries rather than exchanges or knowledge transfers, the contributors emphasize the movement of technology, knowledge, and practice within the global south, and particularly decenter the United States from the Cold War narrative. With summative essays from such luminaries as Gil Joseph on Latin America’s Long Cold War, and Edin Medina and Mark Carey combining STS and Environmental Studies, this work will be of great use to graduate students, teachers, and scholars in all three fields. Other contributors include: Tore Olsson, Mary Roldán, Reinaldo Funes-Monzote, Steven Palmer, Thomas Rath, Pedro Ignacio Alonso, Hugo Palmarola, Mark Healey, Fernando Purcell, Emily Wakild, and Javiera Barandiarán.

In this special episode of The Big Rhetorical Podcast, Charles travels to Kokomo, Indiana to attend the inaugural Mindfulness, Media, and Misinformation in the Digital Era Symposium at Indiana University-Kokomo. Charles was able to catch up with part of the team behind the symposium, including English Professor Dr. Paul Cook and Dean of the Library Polly Boruff-Jones, about the competitive grant they won last year in Washington D.C. to produce the 3M Symposium. Charles was also able to chat with 3M Symposium keynote speaker Michael Caulfield from Washington State University-Vancouver and the American Democracy Project about his interactive workshop and gallery of resources for teaching misinformation in the academy. The Mindfulness, Media, and Misinformation in the Digital Era Symposium was held September 13, 2019
In Episode 72, Quinn & Brian discuss: Monsoons, food, and people. Our guest is Dr. Deepti Singh, an Assistant Professor in the School of the Environment at Washington State University - Vancouver who is motivated by the potential for climate studies to minimize future disaster risk to vulnerable communities around the world. Because here’s the thing: while there are still many people and governments who are still denying the existence and impact of climate change – or our active climate crisis – it’s already having a noticeable and negative impact on our planet and the people who live on it. And this is, perhaps, the most obvious (really, it’s pretty obvious) when we look at what’s happening to already extreme weather phenomenon, such as monsoons. Good news: we also talk about Dr. Singh’s dog! Want to send us feedback? Tweet us, email us, or leave us a voice message!

Pain is the most important and misunderstood sensory system: you cannot live without it, yet we live every day trying to avoid it. In this episode, Dr. Michael Morgan, Professor of Psychology at Washington State University Vancouver, explains how your nervous system codes pain, how your brain tries to control it, and how drugs provide relief. He'll also talk about some of the reasons why current medications are problematic (hint: the opiate epidemic) and some new ways that science is trying to treat pain. Want to come to an event?

As always, a final thanks to Jonathan Coulton for the use of his song Mandelbrot Set as our theme music.
RESEARCH, GOEGRAPHY AND IPV Research is important, but so is perfecting research. Especially in the areas of Intimate Partner Violence. We usually see geographic differences (if addressed at all) as reflecting urban, suburban and rural areas. But two IPV researchers started seeing some problems with that and decided to get to the bottom of it. They sifted through the National Crime Victimization Survey data to better understand how settlement types impacts the type of violence against women. What they found is that using three geographic designations only gives a very imperfect reflection of violence against women. Kathryn DuBois is an Associate Professor at Washington State University Vancouver. Beginning with research toward a Ph.D. in Criminology from Simon Fraser University on alcohol and violence among the Inuit of the eastern Canadian arctic, and has developed expertise in several areas including victimology, violence against women, rural violence, and public health approaches to alcohol regulation. Callie Marie Rennison earned her Ph.D. in 1997 in political science from the University of Houston, University Park, where she also received a B.S. in psychology, M.A. in sociology, and M.A. in political science. In 2016, she was awarded the Bonnie S. Fisher Victimology Career Award from the Division of Victimology in the American Society of Criminology. She has also served on a National Academies Committee examining domestic sex trafficking of minors in the United States and was a Senior Researcher at the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics. Join us as Rennison and DuBois share the findings from their research and how those findings can change our understanding of violence against women.
In this episode, we talk with Mike Caulfield, director of blended and networked learning at Washington State University Vancouver and head of the Digital Polarization Initiative at the American Democracy Project. Mike talks about some of the shortcomings of the way information and web literacy has been traditionally taught, the moves and heuristics he and his colleagues at the Digital Polarization Initiative are teaching their students, and the strategies they’re using for helping students re-think how they make sense of sources and information. If you have any interest in fake news or fact-checking or viral content or just helping students find and work with sources, you’ll find this interview engaging and practical.
