Congratulations to STS alumna, Courtney Peña, who has recently learned of her acceptance to the Ph.D. program in Social Sciences, Humanities, and Interdisciplinary Policy Studies at Stanford University!
Courtney's undergraduate training was in Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies, and she subsequently earned an M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction through the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at ASU.She was a Research Specialist in the School of Transborder Studies. Her work focused on the Ford Fellowship Program and its importance to Mexican-origin and Puerto Rican scholars who were Ford Fellows.
Research and Creative Activities
STS faculty present transborder research in Hermosillo, Mexico
Researchers at Arizona State University presented two books during a meeting on December 5, 2013, at El Colegio de Sonora in Hermosillo, Mexico. One was authored by Carlos Vélez- Ibáñez: An impossible living in a transborder world: Culture, reliability and economy of Mexican-population origins. The second, Lives of dust and water: An anthropology of change and resistance in northwestern Mexico, was presented by Maria Luz Cruz-Torres. .
In the first book, Professor Vélez-Ibáñez’ work was received as important because little attention has been paid to the jobs that Mexicans do and their importance for the U.S. economy. Professor Cruz-Torres’ work is also important because of a dearth of anthropological research about the northern Mexico region.
Pictured with Professors Vélez-Ibáñez and Cruz-Torres are El Colegio de Sonora professors Juan Poom Medina (l.), Gloria Ciria Valdez Gardea (second from right), and School of Transborder Studies professor Francisco Lara-Valencia (r.), who arranged this meeting and exchange of ideas.
New resource of interest to transborder scholars and practitionersCarlos Ovando was a contributing author to the recently published Handbook of Educational Theories, published by Information Age Publshing, Inc. The topic that he and lead author Kathryn Davis and co-author Masahiko Minami discuss in this section of the handbook is Language Acquisition Theory.
The Handbook is intended for graduate students with interest in transborder culture, language, and learning topics and their professors who guide them in developing research studies, theses, or dissertations any of a number of social scientific disciplines. This chapter is also helpful to school practitioners—administrators, counselors, and teachers—who use theory to guide practice.
Community Action Board
for collaborative, applied research and development
The Sonoran Consortium for Student Success is a partnership between the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, the School of Transborder Studies, and the Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute. The overall goal of the Consortium is to promote student success through transdisciplinary research that addresses significant global challenges, in expanding the student pipeline in the sciences for nontraditional students, and creating opportunities for leveraging cultural, ecological, and economic resources in the transborder Sonoran region, which extends north across the western United States to the Canadian border and south throughout Mexico.
Southwest Borderlands Initiative (SWBI)
with the Office of the Provost
SWBI is a long term faculty appointment plan with two primary objectives: the strengthening of existing ASU scholarly and instructional resources on the Southwest with emphasis on the region along the United States-Mexico border, and enhancing institutional recruitment and retention efforts toward building a faculty fully reflective of the Southwest Borderlands' diversity. Through the SWBI concept ASU builds upon its scholarly, instructional, and related institutional assets to respond to these pressing needs, particularly in the areas of Borderlands Arts & Culture, Borderlands Social and Cultural Policy, and Latina/o Health.

Great review of my just-released memoir, “The Lost Night,” in the San Francisco Chronicle yesterday:
“In the small farming community of Merced, a little girl wakes up one night to find her father stumbling through the hallway of their home, a kitchen knife embedded in his neck. It’s this scene that begins Rachel Howard’s powerful memoir, “The Lost Night,” and it’s this scene that will visit her, again and again, for the rest of her life.
Rachel is just 10 years old when her father is murdered. Although he dabbles in cocaine, and although he’s working on his third marriage at the time of his death, he has no known enemies. No drug debts. Angry ex-wives, yes, but none so menacing. The killing, it seems, is entirely random, lacking in motive or design, and from start to finish the reader is as lost for answers as the author herself.
The subtitle of this memoir, “A Daughter’s Search for the Truth of Her Father’s Murder,” tends to cheapen the material; it is less an apt description of its contents than a publisher’s shrewd sales pitch. The book is far more intense and real than your typical true-crime story, and if you attempt to interpret the word “truth” to mean Rachel Howard’s search for her father’s killer, you’ll be disappointed.
Instead “The Lost Night” concerns itself with the psychological fallout that accompanies the tragic, sudden loss of someone you love deeply. It is about the role the dead play in the lives of the living and how in order to move beyond our pain, we must first embrace it, as Rachel will, learning in time to “integrate the murder with [her] sense of identity.”

Once upon a time in the southern wastes of Carter County, where the eastern winds blow westerly from North Carolina, there is an immense tree in a forgotten valley. The tree is so large that a thousand Cadillacs could be parked three deep in its shade. The branches extend so far that they scrape the surrounding mountain paths. Under its canopy, the roots bulge the dark earth in alien formations for miles. Herds of deer and all manner of foxes and even bears find respite from the summer heat there. It has been so for thousands of years.
In the course of time when spring gives way to years and decades give way to stories, the surrounding land was purchased by the Dunn family of coastal Virginia. Old Colonel Dunn had a limp from when he fought alongside General Washington in the French & Indian War. But, by the time he purchased the land, he was a man advance in years and frail in health. It was during the War for Independence that he sent his son to survey. The Young Mr. Dunn was to take notes of his journey.
One unbelievably hot August day, the young Mr. Dunn asked his Cherokee guide to show him something most magnificent—some vista or mountain so beautiful to take away his breath—in short, something interesting for the old Colonel. Over their months together of exploration in the dense forests, young Mr. Dunn and his guide became quite close, like brothers. The Cherokee mulled it over. He then told young Mr. Dunn to stay put. The guide had to consult his elders and his ancestors. In the meantime, the young Mr. Dunn should fast and pray; more importantly, though, he should listen to the wind. The Cherokee offered no explanation before disappearing into the woods.
For six days and six nights, the young Mr. Dunn read his prayers, fasted a little and lay on a rocky outcropping nearby to hear the wind. He didn’t know exactly what he was supposed to hear, but the wind roared up in these mountains. It moved from far to near, and then out along the way in one fluid motion as if crafted by a hand dipping in water. If he listened closely enough, it overwhelmed him. On the fourth afternoon, he spontaneously sang a Te Deum. He forgot some of the words, but the young Mr. Dunn had never been so moved. The wind blew his tears across his face.
True to his promise, though, his friend returned from the woods without warning on the morning of the seventh day. He asked if young Mr. Dunn was ready. Young Mr. Dunn claimed he was as they set out on a hike of three days. The Cherokee never asked what he heard in the wind or if he even fasted. Whenever he thought about that Te Deum, though, young Mr. Dunn blushed.
The third morning, they came to the trail descending to the base of the tree. From the ridges above, the expansive foliage of the tree hid the valley beneath it. Young Mr. Dunn had no clue what lay ahead. As they began to descend, they came across a shaman sitting in deep contemplation around a smoky fire. The dense woods were dark, even at noon. When he was roused, the shaman’s lazy eye never left Mr. Dunn. The shaman wiped them with ash and purged them with burning sage. The other eye, the good one, never left the distant woods behind them.
Like they were descending the edge of some great bowl, the path kept curving to the right. At each successive turn, the temperature dropped. By the time they neared the bottom, the Cherokee covered himself with a great skin and Mr. Dunn’s breath puffed out. By Mr. Dunn’s estimation, it was only two-thirty in the afternoon. Yet, here they were freezing in the Appalachian wilderness, hidden from the sun.
Like colonnades, the trees opened to an immense clearing surrounding the tree. The tree itself was nearly a mile away, but could be clearly discerned due to its size. The roots ribbed and jumbled the barren earth in a thousand ways for as far as he could see. In their stationary positions, the substructure pulsated, appearing to twist one on top of another like the weave of a basket. Off to the right, Young Mr. Dunn could see a herd of white stag bounding the roots with ease. The men, however, had to climb and manage carefully.
When they neared the tree, it took up their entire field of vision. They circumambulated it. Then, circumambulated it again, both heading in different directions. It took the friends the span of a cat’s nap to reach each other. The wood itself was like nothing Mr. Dunn had ever seen. He took careful drawings and notated this in his leather book.
I have seen this book, by the way, in a small library in Carter County, where I was commanded to handle it with gloves. The drawings of young Mr. Dunn show a knotted and gnarled tree, looking so brittle as to break. Most historians believe the young Mr. Dunn had an active imagination. Even a team of Botanists and Dendrologists from the North could not identify the drawing of the tree with anything in the known world.
After careful study, young Mr. Dunn turned to his guide and said with visible breath in the cold, “Friend, this tree is useless. I cannot make a house from its wood, nor warship, nor anything for that matter. No man can make art or utility of this wood. Which is just as well since it is out here next to nothing. What can my father do with it?” The teeth of the Cherokee chattered.
They ascended back to the known. When they passed the shaman’s spot, he was not there nor was there any sign of his fire. By now, though, it was late in the day and they were tired. They lie down and slept. The wind blew in the night.
In a dream, the tree appeared in the form of a bent old man to the young Mr. Dunn. “You, my boy, are stupid,” the tree said. “You are useful to your fathers. And you will die being useful to your sons. But you will never grow past that. I grew because I am useless. Any fire started with my wood turns immediately to ash. Any house built of my ugly bones falls at first gust. Dinner on a table of me would be puked immediately. Yet, I am beauty. Beauty is useless.”
The young Mr. Dunn awoke and continued his travels with his friend, notating in his little book. By the time he returned to Virginia, the Colonel had died. Mr. Dunn told no one of the tree. Which is just as well, since it still stands out in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in the southern wastes of Carter County.

A Kid’s Book About Diabetes
The Great Katie Kate helps children understand diabetes and teaches them how they can take charge of their health.
When Andrew starts feeling funny after a day at the carnival, Dr. Caruthers tells him and his parents that there may be something wrong with the way his body uses sugar. At first Andrew is scared and has many questions–until the Great Katie Kate magically appears once again to get rid of the Worry Wombat. She introduces Andrew to other kids who also have diabetes, and even takes him inside the human body to explain what’s happening to him.
By the time Katie Kate has shown Andrew how to measure his blood sugar, inject insulin, and keep his energy levels up so that he can play with all the other kids, the Worry Wombat has completely disappeared. Armed with the knowledge that he can control his condition, Andrew is no longer worried about having diabetes.
Diabetes can be a frightening and confusing disease, especially for children. Dr. DeLand’s The Great Katie Kate series tackles medical questions to help children understand and overcome worry related to health issues. The Great Katie Kate Discusses Diabetes is one of the first kids’ books about diabetes providing children with clear explanations and answers to give diabetic children a sense of control over their own lives.

In the captivating realm of ancient mythology, the goddess Venus emerges as a resplendent symbol embodying the essence of beauty, love, and all that is enchanting.
Revered across diverse cultures and known by different names, she assumes the persona of Aphrodite in Greek mythology and Venus in Roman mythology.
Her magnetic presence has been the source of fascination for humanity’s collective imagination, spanning countless centuries.
Join us on a captivating journey as we unveil the mystique enveloping this celestial figure and delve into over ten intriguing insights about the goddess Venus.
10+ Venus Goddess Facts
Fact #1: The goddess of love and beauty
Venus, revered as Aphrodite in Greek mythology, is a celestial being intrinsically linked to a captivating array of qualities.
Her essence revolves around the enchanting domains of love, beauty, desire, and fertility.
She serves as the living embodiment of these virtues, often portrayed as the very epitome of feminine allure – a luminous presence that has, for countless generations, enthralled both hearts and minds.
Fact #2: Birth from Seafoam
The captivating mythological origins of Venus mirror her enchanting attributes. In the domain of Greek mythology, the goddess Aphrodite, inseparable from Venus, made a really striking entry into the world.
The story spreads out with the imposing Titan Cronus, who, in a sensational touch of destiny, cut off the privates of Uranus, the early-stage sky god, and cast them into the profundities of the ocean.
It is amidst the frothy seafoam, near the idyllic shores of the island of Cyprus, that Aphrodite emerged, fully grown and breathtakingly beautiful.
This mythic tale of her birth from the seafoam is not merely a captivating origin story but also a profound symbol of the goddess’s ethereal beauty and her innate connection to the boundless sea.
Fact #3: Marriage to Hephaestus
While Aphrodite, or Venus in Roman mythology, was indeed bound in holy matrimony to the god of blacksmiths, Hephaestus, the intricate web of love in Greek mythology was far from conventional.
Her heart, it was widely believed, beat with an irresistible passion for Ares, the fearsome god of war.
This clandestine love affair became the stuff of mythological drama, shrouded in secrecy and punctuated with clandestine rendezvous.
The divine love triangle between Aphrodite, Hephaestus, and Ares symbolized not only the tumultuous nature of love but also the interplay of desire and duty among the gods.
Fact #4: Sacred symbols
Venus’s association with love, beauty, and desire is deeply entrenched in a rich tapestry of sacred symbols.
Among these symbols, the rose stands out as an emblem of love’s intricate bloom, representing the tender and passionate aspects of affection.
The mirror, conversely, serves as a metaphor for vanity and introspection, reflecting the goddess’s deep connection to self-love and self-reflection.
Doves and swans, renowned for their grace and elegance, are also closely tied to Venus, symbolizing the harmonious and transcendent qualities of love and beauty that she embodies.
Fact #5: The Judgment of Paris
A tale etched indelibly in the annals of Greek mythology, the Judgment of Paris is a narrative that is unfurled against the backdrop of divine beauty.
Paris, a mere mortal, found himself at the center of an extraordinary decision.
Tasked with determining the most beautiful among the goddesses Venus, Hera, and Athena, he faced a choice laden with consequences.
Ultimately, he bestowed the coveted title upon Venus, an act that ignited the flames of envy and rivalry among the goddesses.
This fateful judgment, while seemingly innocuous, was the catalyst for the epic Trojan War, an event that would forever alter the course of history.
Fact #6 Dual origins
The captivating figure of Venus boasts a dual heritage, stemming from both Roman and Greek mythological traditions.
In essence, the Roman Venus owes a profound debt to her Greek counterpart, Aphrodite.
These two divine beings share not only striking similarities in attributes but also parallel roles in their respective pantheons.
The Roman Venus absorbed and embraced the essence of Aphrodite, creating a rich tapestry of cultural interplay that highlights the enduring fascination with love, beauty, and desire in human consciousness.
Fact #7: Mother of Cupid
Within the realm of Roman mythology, Venus gracefully assumes a notable role as the mother of Cupid, the charming yet mischievous deity of love.
Cupid wields his mystical arrows with the power to kindle love and desire among mortals, often sparking a whirlwind of emotions and romantic theatrics.
His actions bear a resemblance to the gentle flutter of a butterfly’s wings, yet they possess the potential to unleash tempestuous storms of passion and romance.
The enduring connection between Venus and Cupid stands as a profound testament to the interwoven tapestry of love and desire, two timeless facets of the human experience that have continually seized the human imagination for countless ages.
Fact #8: Influence on Renaissance art
The Renaissance era ushered in a revival of classical antiquity’s allure, leading to a rekindled interest in mythological figures like Venus.
During this transformative period in art history, painters such as Sandro Botticelli crafted iconic masterpieces like “The Birth of Venus.”
These works celebrated the divine beauty of Venus, reimagining her emergence from the seafoam as a symbol of rebirth and renewal.
The Renaissance’s fascination with Venus reflects the enduring power of her story and her ability to captivate hearts and minds across the ages.
Fact #9 Venus of Willendorf
The enigmatic Venus of Willendorf, a petite yet striking prehistoric figurine, has captivated the imagination of humanity for millennia.
Dating back to a distant era around 28,000-25,000 BCE, this ancient artifact stands as one of the earliest known representations of the female form.
Crafted with intricate detail, its exaggerated curves and voluptuous physique have led scholars and enthusiasts alike to ponder its symbolic significance.
While interpretations vary, many associate this remarkable figurine with themes of fertility and abundance.
Its presence in the annals of human history serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with the divine mysteries of femininity and the cycles of life.
Fact #10: Planetary namesake
Casting our gaze to the celestial realm, we encounter another facet of Venus’s enduring legacy.
The second planet from the sun bears her name, a celestial homage to the goddess herself.
Venus, the planet, possesses a radiant beauty and unparalleled brightness in the night sky, characteristics that have long captivated stargazers throughout history.
This luminous splendor led to the planet’s association with the goddess Venus, reinforcing her status as a symbol of beauty and allure not only on Earth but also in the celestial heavens.
Fact #11: Numerous Epithets
The multifaceted nature of Venus’s mythology is mirrored in the multitude of epithets attributed to her.
Each of these epithets illuminates different facets of her influence and significance.
Venus Victrix, for instance, underscores her victorious nature, while Venus Erycina connects her to the sacred heights of Mount Eryx.
Venus Genetrix celebrates her role as a motherly figure, emphasizing her connection to the creation and preservation of life.
These varied epithets offer glimpses into the diverse tapestry of her mythology and the profound impact she had on the ancient world, where she was venerated under different aspects.
The goddess Venus, whether referred to as Aphrodite or Venus, holds a timeless status as an enduring symbol of love and beauty.
Her character, rich and multifaceted, knows no bounds of culture or mythology, resonating across the world.
Her ageless allure has consistently inspired the creative souls of artists, writers, and lovers throughout history.
As we delve into the intricate narratives and symbols entwined in her story, we come to recognize the deep and lasting impact of the goddess of love on the human psyche and our collective reverence for the divine.


Making a book
19 July 2022
I can’t remember when exactly I got involved in working on the most recent book for the Fishermen’s Mission, it was just one of those projects that crept in from the sidelines and before I knew it I was swallowed whole.
Originally started in the spring of 2019 with interviews of people in the local community taking place, its momentum was cut short by the start of the pandemic in early 2020. It was tentatively picked up again as the world began to open up and myself and fellow photographer Matt Facey began work in earnest on shooting the portraits in November 2021.
The book focuses on the fishing community of Mevagissey on the south coast of Cornwall. It is the second largest fishing port in Cornwall after Newlyn. Salty Cove is the third book in a series that has been published by the Fishermen’s Mission, with Salt of the Earth (Newlyn) and Sea Salt and Solitude (Padstow, Port Isaac, and Newquay) coming before it. To work on a project like this is all-consuming, it’s also an enormous privilege and the opportunity to document a community like Mevagissey through stories and photographs is a rare one indeed.
As well as shooting the photos, the Fishermen’s Mission needed someone to design the book layouts and getting it print-ready. Having become quite invested in the book over the winter months, I offered to do this and I think this is where the project really took over my life!
Emma and I wanted to develop a style for the book so that it was different from the previous two, while at the same time looking like they belonged together on a bookshelf. The header font was chosen for its resemblance to the lettering of fishing boat registration numbers. In selecting photos for the book, we wanted to include some extra shots of Mevagissey as well as the portraits to give the book a sense of place. Choosing the running order of how the individual stories in the book was probably the hardest task. I spent several days reading through every single interview for the book, making a huge list of common threads that ran through the stories, connecting up fishermen that had either worked together and had shared anecdotes, or simply groups of family connections. I then took these stories and started adding them page by page into the enormous InDesign document that I had set up. The book began to take shape slowly, taking on its feel and character with every new addition. I think I ate, slept, and dreamt the book at this stage, completely absorbing myself in it.
All portraits for the book are in black and white, they were shot predominantly through the winter and this is apparent in the feel of the photos. There were at times some challenging weather conditions, and a lack of light with the dark evenings, but this lends an atmosphere all its own. Catching portraits of the fishermen on a winter's night just before they head off for a multi-day trip out to sea. It’s as true-to-life representation as myself and Matt could manage without actually heading out to sea ourselves!
Meva has an incredible community spirit, it’s a place that pulls together through the bad times and very much knows how to celebrate in the good times. Most of all for me, it’s home and I feel a strong sense of belonging here which is why I became so emotionally invested in it and wanted to see it through to the very end, sending it off to print at Deltor in Saltash.
I truly loved working on this project for the Fishermen’s Mission. Yes, it took over my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined, but to see it through to the very end and to be able to hold a finished, heavyweight coffee table book in my hands was quite an amazing feeling. It was released on the 10th of June with a spirited launch party in Mevagissey Social Club and is raising some important funds for the mission. To date, Hurley Books in Mevagissey has sold £6500 worth of copies, all of which are going to the Fishermen’s Mission which is pretty incredible. This is not taking into account the £9,000 or so raised via Crowdfunder and sales from other outlets.
Fun fact: the last portrait was shot on the morning that it went to print. Right down to the wire!
You can buy the book from Hurley Books, Waterstones in Truro, Heligan, and the Eden Project. Or directly from The Fishermen's Mission

“Most people are afraid of suffering. But suffering
is a kind of mud to help the lotus flower of happiness grow.
There can be no lotus flower without the mud.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
In this short but profound book, the late Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist Zen Master, poet, peace activist, and one of the most revered and influential spiritual teachers in the world, shares practices and inspiration on how the secret to happiness lies in our ability to acknowledge and transform suffering rather than avoiding it. At its core, the book is a reminder that joy can be experienced by a change of attitude and little fundamental daily practices.
The first part of the book explains the nature of suffering, ways to be in touch with suffering without being overwhelmed by it, and how to overcome suffering by developing compassion, mindfulness, and communication. The second part of the book contains practices for transforming suffering and attaining happiness. It consists of life mantras, breathing exercises, meditations, and relaxation techniques that help you achieve mindfulness.
Regardless of what spiritual or religious beliefs you might hold, this little book holds the promise that we can blossom as human beings if we recognize the growth that can come from the “mud” in our lives.

Michelin Guide for Wooden Wheels
Tourism, and its antecedent, pilgrimage, is a privilege of both wealth and peace. Without both of these, it is at best known as “exile.” Constantine I provided a measure of both with the beginning of the end of persecution in the Edict of Milan in 313. Not long after, the sound of footsteps and horse hooves wending their way to Jerusalem could be heard plodding through Asia Minor.And what’s a trip without a diary with which to remember it? The earliest of these diaries comes quite soon after St. Helena’s discovery of the relics of the cross and the inception of Constantine’s great building projects, an anonymous pilgrim narrated his journey from Bordeaux to Palestine. The trip can be dated to 333; the Contantinian complex that would become the Martyrium and Anastasis (the basilicas on the sites of Jesus’ death and resurrection, respectively) was partially completed, as was the church on the Mount of Olives, but few buildings in the rest of Jerusalem were under construction. The Basilica in Bethlehem appears to be done. Our friend from Bordeaux wrote a typical itenerarium (a list of places visited and a log-book of where he stayed) with a bit more detail around Jerusalem. He (or she, for that matter, we don’t know) was interested in places, but the only indication that people are part of religious observance in Jerusalem is a mention of the wailing wall.
The most famous of our pilgrims, Egeria, made it to Jerusalem fifty years after the Bordeaux Pilgrim—sometime in the early 380’s. Compared to almost any other pilgrim in the first millennium, Egeria was a “sacristy rat;” she could smell a procession at 1000 yards, and happily wrote about many of the liturgies in which she participated. It seems, from reading her diary, that all that happened in fourth century Palestine was a continuous worship service—particularly during Lent. When we combine her diary with another (fairly unique) writing, Cyril of Jerusalem’s catechetical and mystagogical lectures, given about 350 (halfway in between the Bordeaux Pilgrim’s and Egeria’s visits), we have a very rich picture of the time around Easter in the second half of the fourth century. And it’s a picture that leaves us exhausted. The weeks before Easter are a time of almost non-stop formational activity—almost as if this were “spring training” for the author of Hebrews’ “race that is set before us.” There is a “once in a lifetime” character, not just to the baptism of the catechumens, but to the whole experience of Jerusalem and the passion of Jesus.
This ascesis—training for a race—is clearly part of what happened in Jerusalem, at least until it came under Muslim control. There is a lectionary from the middle of the fifth century that has readings for most of Egeria’s services, for example. However, this isn’t the whole story.
Within ten years, we have another tour guide: Paula, a patroness of Jerome, the irascible translator of the Vulgate, followed him to Bethlehem and wrote about her trip. It’s interesting that we pay so little attention to her diary as compared to Egeria’s. While Egeria’s travels languished, seldom copied, and as far as can be told, otherwise ignored, until their rediscovery in the nineteenth century, Paula, and her diary, entered into continuous popular culture. That the Chaucer has the Wife of Bath visit—in order—the same sites as Paula in the prologue to her tale is just the easiest example to find among many. Her diary comes down in two forms: a letter to a friend back in Rome, and Jerome’s editing of her itenerarium. There are few references to structured liturgies, except for the daily prayer of the monastics who lived near or in the holy places. What is overwhelming is the impression of the ministry of hospitality of these religious. There is a constant refrain of “We came to …, We were told of the importance of the place …, We joined in meals …, We prayed with …”
Hospitality. Daily prayer in holy places. And the veneration of holy places in the context of their place in the cycle of the year. These three principles tie together these early narratives of Jerusalem and its environs. What we see in Egeria, Cyril, and the Armenian lectionary of Jerusalem is not the ritualization of a lex orandi—an eternal liturgical gravitational law—but rather an improvisation in a very specific place of Jesus’ new law of love, of service to neighbor and alien so that they can be be part of the community of his transforming grace. Even with Egeria’s compulsive religiosity, the purpose of these dwellers in the land of Jesus shines through: to help pilgrims come so close to Christ through the sacrament of place that they might remain his forever.
Jacques Derrida gave an intriguing lecture, “Hospitality,” (in Acts of Religion) in which he explores hospitality and hostility. Following his thought, we could think of the fourth-century Palestinian Christians as “deconstructing home” so that it opens, as gift, as incorporation, to the pilgrims. I wonder if some of those pilgrims held that home hostage as they took these rites, out of place, (to pinch a phrase from ritual scholar Ron Grimes) and emplanted them elsewhere. Maybe the Bordeaux Pilgrim and Paula (and Jerome, for that matter) understood something Egeria didn’t: Is the Holy Week experience something that one can only receive as a gift? Does “doing it for ourselves” turn it into an act of hostile possession, making us hostages to a ritual? A Michelin three-star meal on the west bank of the Saone in Lyons won’t keep until I get home to Seattle. Imitating Cyril in San Francisco just might be as misguided.

A History of Historic St. James AME Church
In 1844, while slavery was legally sanctioned in Louisiana, a large segment of the Black population was enslaved. The Rev. Jordan W. Early, a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AMEC), inspired a small group of free people of color to establish their own church. The group held membership in then-St. Paul Methodist Episcopal Church (now Wesley United Methodist Church). St. Paul had a diverse membership of free people of color, whites and slaves. Whites worshipped on the ground floor and the very small balcony was designated for slaves and free people of color.
A group of ten members led by the Rev. Charles Doughty, a blacksmith, rented a site on the corner of Villere and Bienville Streets. They held worship service, calling themselves the AME Church. Almost immediately, police officers who objected to the congregation allowing slaves to attend worship services approached the congregation, fearing the new formation would incite slaves to seek freedom. The leaders persevered and their faithful community increased. Soon their quarters became too small and they began to seek land to build a church.
On October 6, 1848 the state issued a charter to the AMEC, authorizing it to legally operate in Louisiana with the ten founders as incorporators, including Jordan Bankston Noble, General Andrew Jackson’s drummer during the Battle of New Orleans. According to the charter, slaves were not allowed to become members of the church or the corporation. By December 1848, the church’s board purchased a site in the suburb of Treme and began constructing the church building. It was completed in 1851. The entire congregation carried materials to the new church site, with women carrying bricks in their aprons. They named the church St. James Chapel, with Rev. Doughty, the organizer and first leader of the congregation, traveling to the Indiana Annual Conference with a petition to affiliate with the AMEC. The conference, under the leadership of Bishop William Paul Quinn, accepted the petition and St. James Chapel became an official member of the connectional AMEC. Rev. Doughty, formerly a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church, was ordained a Deacon and continued as St. James Chapel’s pastor.
The second pastor was the Rev. John Miflin Brown, a well-educated Northern minister. He encountered much hostility because he allowed slaves to attend the services. Under Rev. Brown’s leadership, the church grew both in membership and financial stability. The church also actively helped to organize and build other AME churches in New Orleans, including Morris Brown AMEC. Rev. Brown was jailed five times during his five-year ministry in New Orleans and was later elected the eleventh Bishop of the AME Church.
From 1858 to 1862, police officers closed St. James Chapel because its membership advocated abolishing slavery. During the Civil War, Colonel James Lewis organized a company of Black Union Soldiers that used the church as their headquarters.
The Louisiana Annual Conference of the AMEC was organized at St. James Chapel AME Church on November 1, 1865 with Bishop Jabez P. Campbell, presiding. During the Reconstruction Era, some of the church’s members rose to great prominence in Louisiana politics, including Governor P.B.S. Pinchback and Lieutenant Governor Oscar J. Dunn.
Other historical events include the church being the founding site of the Black masonic organizations of Louisiana and the YMCA for Black men. The church also provided the young people and advocacy to establish of a Black elementary school, initially known as the Bienville School and later renamed the Albert Wicker School, in honor of an educator who was a St. James trustee.
During the Civil Rights Era, Historic St. James maintained an active presence in addressing social justice and racial equality. Moreover, in addition to the church’s pastors elected to the bishopric, several Historic St. James pastors have become presiding elders, as well as religious and thought leaders, in African Methodism and ecumenically.
St. James Chapel, the “Mother Church” of African Methodism in the Deep South, is praising God under the name, Historic St. James AME Church. From 2005 to 2015, the decade following Hurricane Katrina, the Rev. Otto W. Duncan, Jr., a son of Historic St. James, led the church’s restoration efforts. In 2015, Bishop Julius H. McAllister, Sr. appointed Historic St. James’ current pastor, the Rev. Jonathan C. Augustine, to continue restoration, focus on renewal, and maintain excellence.

too much coffee
Does anyone else find that if they drink a little too much coffee, they get a little tense and wound up? I took Arthur to the library this morning for a children's reading session. We came home, had lunch, put him to bed, I had a coffee and now aaarrrgh... I feel very annoyed. I try to teach Arthur about good manners, waiting turns, the usual stuff and think back to the library when other kids jump up, push in, demand attention, get the good crayons, the ducky finger puppet. And Arthur turns and says I didn't get one. My 2.8 year old and 5 year olds push in front and grab things. Am I going to be an over-sensitive mum? Do you jump in and wrestle for things? hmmm what to do? On a brighter note I'm working on a series of photographs to frame and sell in the shop. Patterns and cars.

This dissertation examines the way high-rise living was portrayed and documented in the press, in interactive gaming environments and fictional storytelling in West Germany between 1945 and 2020. I argue that the figure of the high-rise in West Germany served not only as a departure from the material destruction after WWII, but also as an ideological marker of a new start. This argument builds on existing research on architecture in a medial understanding, as storage as well as processor and transmitter of history. In the particular case of West Germany, these aspects are concerned with questions of memory and exile, but also with segregation and mobility. The chapters show how the cultural and social perception of the high-rise changed over the course of time. My second and third chapters focus on press outlets, which deployed photography as well as narrative strategies in order to highlight the idea of a fresh start after the war, marked by the new high-rise architecture. Chapter Four employs the genre of children’s literature in order to show the significance of segregation of indoor and outdoor spaces and its concluding ascriptions of function. Chapter Five examines an early interactive game console Game&Watch, and the game environments which rely heavily on the high-rise as a driver of the gameplay. I illustrate how the game environments and game setups filter the negative aspects of the new architecture and build it into the gameplay. Finally, Chapter Six concludes with a discussion of negative reporting in a current media context. I introduce the spatial idiosyncrasies of surveillance and liminality of the high-rise mass dwelling by analysing the narrative strategies employed in Karosh Taha’s novel Beschreibung einer Krabbenwanderung.In sum, these mechanisms of memory making, exile, segregation and mobility show the underlying tropes of the high-rise’s enmeshment with spatial effects and history.
“Impossible Subjectivities” describes Nazism by analyzing practical paradoxes that concern either the SS or the German Nazi concentration and death camp prisoners. Intellectually we are faced with a variety of impossibilities: Nazism’s SS judiciary, for example, investigated SS officers’ illegal killings of prisoners in the German Nazi concentration and death camps. Also Nazism’s murder was ideologically framed as “decent.” Furthermore self-identifying National Socialists who were vocally fond of unity and obedience have been corrupt and some high-ranking officers treated Jewish prisoners as if colleagues. By contrast, memories that remain from concentration and death camp prisoners suggest that the drive to survive was as much collaboration as a fight against suicide. The prisoners paradoxically report of prisoner sadists, of a general self-distancing of prisoners from the weakest in the camps, while many survivors identify with the strength of their will to survive and insist on the body’s memory as much as on hope.These socio-historical narratives represent ideational and physical complications. They imply that juridical (un)consciousness, Kant’s subject or Foucaultian discourse, is insufficient to describe the human, affected, affective and paradoxical bodies that individuals performed from within their systemic position: By focussing on situations in which people were producing a difference within the biopolitical order in which they existed, and where still nothing systemically changed, “Impossible Subjectivities” addresses the relation between biopolitics and subjectivity, between both affected but unchanged discourse as forms of “negative agency.” This project shows why rationality and social norm applications alone cannot suffice to resist biopolitical oppression. It shows how Nazism, too, idealized heroism and rationality. It shows how human bodies can even systemically-subjectively and disruptively relate to one another without that anything fundamentally changes. And it asks: Can the historical threshold of Nazism’s particular impossible subjectivities tell us anything about our contemporary modes of oppression? Methodologically, “Impossible Subjectivities” focusses on philosophies of difference – from existentialism to performativity – in order to analyze historical source material such as diary entries, memoirs, letters, recordings to drawings and sculpture. Categories such as tone, voice, feeling, affect, receptivity, weak will, drag and naked life are core conceptual parameters for the inquiry.
Conceptualizing space as both a social product and a social agent, my thesis examines the Jewish ghetto that the Nazi German occupiers created in Warsaw in the years between 1940 and 1943 from a distinct spatial perspective. Following the example of authors such as Dan Stone, Anne Kelly Knowles, Tim Cole, Alberto Giordano, Paolo Giaccaria and Claudio Minca, my study, thus, makes a case for the relevance of spatial analysis in the context of the Holocaust.Seeing the ghetto itself as a form of violence exerted against the Jews, I proceed in two steps: In the first part of the study, I trace out which German policies and actions created and shaped the space of the ghetto and how it changed over time due to shifts in the Nazi German agenda and the practices on site. The analysis is guided by the objective of making transparent the administrative processes and responsibilities involved in the ghetto’s creation and management. At the same time, the analysis pursues questions regarding violence, power dynamics, segregation, spatial appropriation and ownership, identity-formation, as well as social, cultural and economic exclusion. In the second part of the study, I shift the focus to explore the space of the ghetto as it was perceived, experienced and described by the people held within it. Building largely on war-time diaries and post-war memoirs, the study investigates particular examples, constellations and recurring situations to further explore how the spatial environment – both in its physical and social dimensions – negatively affected Jewish everyday life, cultural practices, social and personal identity-formation and social relationships. By showing that the ghetto space was inherently adverse to Jewish life, I will advocate a view of the ghetto that emphasizes the violent nature of the spatial environment itself.The analysis of the observations from first-hand accounts is based on concepts and terminology from a broad range of theoretical approaches from the fields of history, urban studies, architecture, (human) geography, anthropology, political theory, philosophy, and sociology, making the study inherently interdisciplinary.
The thesis at hand investigates horse-riding in two novellas of the German Jahrhundertwende era: Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s Reitergeschichte (1899) and Theodor Storm’s Der Schimmelreiter (1888). Cultural and Literary Animals Studies (CLAS), a newly evolving, interdisciplinary area of research, constitutes the framework for the analysis which focuses on equitation as a human-animal relationship with cultural and literary entanglements. Two theories from the larger context of posthumanism and concerned with humanimal practices are used to untangle the multitude of agents involved in riding: the Companion Species (CS) approach as introduced by Donna Haraway and the Cultural Techniques (CT) approach as introduced by German Media Studies scholars. The CS concepts allow an analysis of the human-equine figures and contact zones in the texts, while the CT notions enable an examination of the recursive chains of operations in horse-riding as a body technique. I have combined the approaches to engage with the material and semiotic complexities of equitation. Entangling them generates new methodological tools: world-making, emerging thirds, natureculturalization and earthiness. The literary texts are accompanied by research in Equitation Science and horsemanship manuals to enable even deeper practical insights. The interpretations of Reitergeschichte and Der Schimmelreiter untangle the concatenated links, loops, and liminal zones between the rhythmic movements of rider, horse and earthy ground. Therefore, the earthiness of riding stands out and in a larger conceptual and cultural context, it indicates the seismic shifts of the Jahrhundertwende’s trembling transitions in art, science and society, and humanity’s grounding troubles. The thesis thereby expands the CLAS framework into the fields of Ecocriticism and Environmental Humanities.
This dissertation examines a variety of Alternate Histories of the Third Reich from the perspective of memory theory. The term ‘Alternate History’ describes a genre of literature that presents fictional accounts of historical developments which deviate from the known course of history. These allohistorical narratives are inherently presentist, meaning that their central question of “What If?” can harness the repertoire of collective memory in order to act as both a reflection of and a commentary on contemporary social and political conditions. Moreover, Alternate Histories can act as a form of counter-memory insofar as the counterfactual mode can be used to highlight marginalized historical events. This study investigates a specific manifestation of this process. Contrasted with American and British examples, the primary focus is the analysis of the discursive functions of German-language counterfactual literature in the context of German normalization. The category of normalization connects a variety of commemorative trends in postwar Germany aimed at overcoming the legacy of National Socialism and re-formulating a positive German national identity. The central hypothesis is that Alternate Histories can perform a unique task in this particular discursive setting. In the context of German normalization, counterfactual stories of the history of the Third Reich are capable of functioning as alternate memories, meaning that they effectively replace the memory of real events with fantasies that are better suited to serve as exculpatory narratives for the German collective. To develop the theoretical framework for this new category, the dissertation delineates and contrasts pertinent theories of both collective memory and counter-memory and harnesses the scholarly findings of these fields to expand existing critical understandings of the genre of Alternate History. The combination of this sociological approach with the methodology of literary studies is applied in a close reading to an exemplary selection of Alternate Histories, grouped into three themes which correspond closely to prominent narratives of German collective memory: The universalization of National Socialism, the motif of the ‘good German,’ and the myth of German victimization. This approach demonstrates in detail the narrative strategies that constitute alternate memory in the context of German normalization.
This study analyzes four autobiographical accounts written after the fall of the Berlin Wall by former data subjects, i.e., by individuals who have been under the surveillance of the East German Stasi (Staatssicherheit). Following a suggestion by Cornelia Vismann, I refer to these texts as “file-based autobiographies.” The term reflects the fact that they were written in response to the opening of the Stasi archives and the passing of the Stasi Files Act, which allowed data subjects to access their files. By constructing narratives using files written and compiled by informers and secret police officials rather than relying on their own, personal memories, these data subjects challenge the traditional aesthetics of autobiographies and subvert the usual expectations of autobiographical reading. “File-based autobiographies" constitute nothing less than a new autobiographical sub-genre. Rather than offering a personal story that begins in early childhood and ends later in life, data subjects engage in a revision of their lives using files written by a hostile third party. The four case studies show how people under surveillance may need to draw on such documents, even if they are inaccurate, in order to support their claims of authenticity and thus fulfill the autobiographical pact. In this way, these autobiographers acquire and re-functionalize the hostile documents, thus challenging the original purposes for which the files were kept. They show that using their files not only results in unexpected memory processes, but is also a political and literary process that supports their personal agendas and targets particular audiences. Access to and subsequent use of their files gives them the authority to discuss their reaction to the opening of the Stasi files as well as the records themselves.


Perhaps the best thing I could say (or would want someone to say if it were my book) is that this explanation of the Gospel and the Story we say we believe has motivated me more than any other recent book I’ve read to press on in my own journey with Christ.
I want to spend more time in the Scriptures…getting to know the story of Israel which Jesus fulfills, immersing myself in the gospel accounts of Jesus’ story, exploring the early church’s “acts” of gospeling, and even digging out my old church history texts from seminary by Gonzalez and studying the ways in which the church carried on the gospeling from then until now.
I’m more compelled than ever to engage the Word in the context of community and incorporate the Christian calendar, daily prayer, and other spiritual disciplines in order to more faithfully live out my role as a member of the People of God.
What McKnight lays out here really challenges a reductionist (soterian) approach to the Gospel and makes you think deeply about evangelism as well. For such a brief, easy-to-read book it really packs a punch!
