Reviving a Nearly Lost Barrio Story

(Published by UANews.org on Feb. 9, 2016 and includes quotes from this article, as requested by the researchers.) The Barrio Stories Project speaks to how downtown Tucson's physical and ethnic landscape has been drastically altered. In the late 1960s, a culturally diverse, 80-acre residential and business district in downtown Tucson was demolished as a consequence of urban renewal and the construction of the Tucson Convention Center complex. More than 100 years of historically … [Read more...]

Women in the Workforce: We’ve Come a Long Way

(Published by Zocalo Magazine on March 4, 2015.) On Saturday, March 21, the UA Bookstore’s first floor is set to become a portal to the past when a salon – featuring music and discussion – on the women’s movement takes place. The UA Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry’s event, part of the Creative Collaborations series, is looking back at the middle of the 20th century when a seismic paradigm shift occurred in the United States; the shift from men mostly running things to women entering … [Read more...]

Shushing the Librarian Stereotype

Shushing the Librarian Stereotype

(Published by Zocalo Magazine on March 2, 2015.) They are classic scenes in the 1984 film “Ghostbusters.” One is the opener with the grandmotherly librarian who gets the bejeezus scared out of her by the “free-roaming, vaporous, full torso apparition” haunting the New York Public Library. The other scene is with that ghost, who seems to also have been a librarian in her earthly life, shushing the Ghostbusters when they try to ask her questions while she is reading; she then terrorizes and … [Read more...]

On Love: Songs, Science & Psychology

(Published by Zocalo Magazine on Feb. 2, 2015.) “There’s a song for everything, for every issue – a piece of music,” imparts pianist, Professor Emerita and the UA Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry Senior Fellow Paula Fan. Fan is referring to the premise behind the event series she coordinates, Creative Collaborations, in conjunction with the Confluencenter. The monthly Saturday morning events are mini-concerts, with Fan on piano, and include dialogue with a distinguished guest – … [Read more...]

iBorders: Drones & Designs

(Published by Zocalo Magazine on Jan. 5, 2015.) “Google Predator drone.” Professor Benjamin J. Muller is standing to my left, graphic designer Thomas Kafka McCarthy is standing behind me and the three of us are staring at my computer monitor. This image search is work, turning out to be a bit harder than we originally thought. “See if you can find one in flight, one with the U.S. CBP logo.” I look at Muller blankly. “CBP?” I’m still getting used to the acronym world of … [Read more...]
