description: Building on an existing academic-community partnership, this project will form the Trans(C)ending HIV Syndemics Collaborative. Over the next four years, this Collaborative will work to address HIV-related inequities affecting Black and Latina transgender women in San Diego, California who face high rates of social stigma and discrimination.
 
 The current HIV service landscape in San Diego was largely developed without considering the unique challenges and strengths of Black and Latina transgender women. As a result, these services are less equipped to address experiences related to sex work, violence, and substance use that are a direct result of high rates of social stigma and discrimination and simultaneously interact to increase Black and Latina transgender women’s vulnerability to poorer HIV-related health outcomes. Locally, Black and Latina transgender women are overrepresented in new HIV diagnoses, have less access to medications that can prevent HIV, and have lower engagement in HIV care over time resulting in poorer personal health and increased risk of transmission to sexual and injection partners. Improving sustained engagement in HIV testing and HIV viral load monitoring is an important step to reducing HIV inequities in this community. 
 
 To address this gap, the Trans(C)ending Collaborative will convene twelve representatives, six from Black and Latinx Trans-led Advocacy groups, and six providers and frontline staff from the local HIV service landscape. In partnership with our implementing organization, the San Diego LGBT Community Center and our evaluation organization, UC San Diego, the Collaborative will work together to inform how we can make existing evidence based interventions we already have support better HIV outcomes by purposefully addressing the unique needs of Black and Latina transgender women in San Diego. Because this work will only be as effective as the Black and Latina transgender community members who know about it, we will prioritize disseminating the Collaborative’s vision, planning process, progress, and results to the transgender community and local stakeholders throughout the 4-years process.
Unidos en Salud: Multi-Disease HIV Testing Hubs for Latinx Immigrant Communities in San Francisco

description: Unidos en Salud (UES) is a multi-sector collaboration founded in April 2020 to address health disparities in the Latinx community. Our collaboration brings together the expertise of community (San Francisco Latino Task Force— a coalition of over 30 Latinx-focused CBOs), Infectious Diseases researchers and clinicians (UCSF), local health care service delivery businesses, and the San Francisco Department of Public Health. While our initial collaboration formed to address COVID-19 in the Latinx community, over the past year, we have expanded our efforts to address HIV, which disproportionately impacts the Latinx community. Year after year the largest proportion of new HIV diagnoses in San Francisco are among Latinx people. We have tools to stop these epidemics, but we are not reaching all members of the Latinx community—especially undocumented immigrants.
 
 Our piloted low-barrier multi-disease testing model takes a community health approach, integrating testing for HIV and related syndemics and linkage to a broad array of services (e.g., financial, housing, mental health resources). Our model is well-suited for addressing conditions that share common social underpinnings and cause an increased public health burden on a community (i.e., a syndemic) and the components of the model can be tailored to meet the priorities of the targeted community. Our preliminary data show that our model is acceptable and feasible in the Latinx community and evidence-based, but further work is needed to tailor the model to reach Latinx immigrant communities at high risk for HIV. We build on the community’s trust in the Latino Task Force and the collaboration mitigates many access, stigma, and trust-related barriers to HIV testing that Latinx immigrants face. 
 
 The overall objective of our well-established collaboration is to expand the reach of our multi-disease testing model to immigrant and marginalized Latinx communities in San Francisco. In Aim 1, we will refine our research agenda and tailor our model to improve our reach to Latinx immigrant communities. In Aim 2, we will implement and evaluate the model. In Aim 3, we will augment the reach of our model with social network informed outreach and home-based HIV testing. Data from this community collaborative will help close the implementation gaps needed to end the HIV epidemic, especially for Latinx immigrant communities.
Dalla matematizzazione dell'economia neoclassica alla fisica quantistica nei processi cognitivi. Certezze e crisi dell?idea di razionalit�: dall?homo oeconomicus ai modelli quantistici della mente

description: The origin of the idea of rationality as a fundamental model of human behaviour (the concept of homo oeconomicus) that was introduced during the neoclassical revolution in economics and that implied the mathematization of economics thereby adopting the mathematical scheme of and borrowing some fundamental conception from classical mechanics, as well as the crisis of this rationality model that followed in the latest decades are here discussed. The origin of the least action principle in 18th century is first described. The least action principle was the basis that lead to the development of Lagrangean dynamics in classical mechanics that, on its turn, entered economics in 19th century as a fundamental method to describe the behaviour of a postulated rational agent and was the basis for the development of mainstream economics in 20th century. The epistemologically unjustified transfer of concepts from mechanics, in particular in Walras? work, is stressed. In the second half of 20th century experimental psychology slowly entered economics and several paradoxes in the real agents? choices were shown giving strong evidence of rationality?s axioms violation in the real behaviour of people. By mid-20th century, quantum mechanics had already developed a highly effective mathematical apparatus to describe the wave-particle behaviour of quantum objects and in particular the phenomenon of probability interference that is clearly shown in the double-slit experiment with single electrons, as well as with photons. Probability interference is peculiar to quantum mechanics and is extraneous to the Kolmogorov axiomatic theory of classical probability. The recent idea of applying the quantum mechanics concepts and formalism, including quantum probability interference and superposition of states, to the description of mental processes is discussed. The aim of this new field of research, which is developing along the lines of the centuries-old question of the mind-body relation, is to create a general framework where cognition might be modeled. Quantum cognition is therefore introduced as a possible answer to the rationality violation paradoxes shown by experiments on ambiguous figures recognition and on the effects brought about by conjunction and disjunction of concepts.

Abstract:
The growing utilisation of AI in social media contexts by politicians globally presents a compelling case for examining the intersection of new developments in digital communication and political discourse. This paper applies three guiding theories – the agenda-setting, spiral of silence, and public sphere theories – to examine politicians’ outreach and engagement on social media. It further investigates the ways in which AI-generated content challenges the authenticity of political communication and the veracity of disseminated information.The paper’s case study is the recent posting of an AI-doctored video of the Indian national government minister Amit Shah by the state government minister Revanth Reddy. The examination of the case illuminates the problematic ways in which the use of AI affects political communication and, more broadly, can alter national civic dynamics.Despite the widespread use of social media in political campaigns, there is a significant research gap in understanding the nuanced impacts of AI, and especially generative AI, on political communication. This gap is particularly evident in the context of the growing AI-driven authenticity crisis, wherein AI-generated messages may undermine genuine political engagement and exacerbate public cynicism.The paper argues that generative AI problematically affects political communication in ways that can alter national civic dynamics; additionally, it calls for further, urgent studies of generative AI’s impacts on political communication and civic discourse. This exploration aims to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the ways in which digital platforms and AI influence political dynamics, offering insights into the broader implications for global political discourse. The paper also outlines regulatory actions that institutions and social actors can take, thus adding to debates about the regulatory frameworks that need to be implemented in the age of generative AI.
Intersectionality of Religion and Immigration with Smoking among Arab Americans in California’s SJV

description: Background: Arab Americans are one of the fastest growing populations in the US. They have one of the highest smoking rates in the nation. These smoking rates are linked to historical use of tobacco products in their countries of origin. Yet, little is known on how religion, immigration and discrimination, and opinions about tobacco laws and tobacco products are related with smoking patterns among Arab Americans. 
 Methods: This study will be conducted in Fresno and Stanislaus counties, where a large community of Arab Americans resides. We will assess how religion, immigration and discrimination, and opinions about tobacco laws and tobacco products are related with smoking patterns among Arab Americans using two methods: 1) using surveys 2) doing in-depth interviews. For the surveys, we will collect 300 surveys of Arab American participants. We will compare the data to other data that will be collected by the Nicotine and Cannabis Policy Center at UC Merced as well as test for differences between first and second and above generations of Arab Americans in terms of tobacco use patterns and perceptions. As for the interviews, we will interview 40 Arab American smokers to expand our knowledge about the cultural, religious and structural experiences on smoking among Arab Americans. 
 Results from this study will serve as a foundation to create smoking interventions that are tailored to Arab Americans as well as inform policy makers and health providers about the attitudes of Arab Americans on tobacco products and tobacco regulations.
Consolidation and coordination of routes in urban distribution

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2019

description: In this dissertation, two relevant aspects of routing in the urban environment are studied. In the first part of the thesis, the implications of considering release dates when planning for delivery from distribution centers are discussed. The routing problems with release dates are contextualized in the class of routing problems, and in particular, in the lass of routing problems in which timing decisions must be considered. The Traveling Salesman Problem with release dates and completion time minimization is studied. Properties are introduced for the problem and a formulation is proposed. Two variants of a heuristic algorithm are tested against the optimal solution and shown to provide high quality results. The benefits of considering release dates are assessed by comparing the results with those obtained disregarding the release dates and delivering the parcels as soon as they arrive to the distribution center. The study on routing problems with release dates is then expanded to consider the stochastic and dynamic nature of the release dates. A reoptimization technique is proposed to tackle the dynamic aspect of the problem. Three reoptimization policies are proposed, with increasing reoptimization frequency, together with two models for the solution of the problem. The first is a stochastic model, considering the entire probabilistic information available for the release dates, and the second is a deterministic model, where a point estimation is used. The stochastic model is shown to perform better than the deterministic model, at the expense of the computational time required to evaluate any of the solutions explored. The second part of the thesis is focused on the management of the loading and unloading areas in the city center. Urban distribution requires vehicles to temporarily stop to perform the last leg of the delivery by foot. If a spot is not available, vehicles resort to double parking which is a known cause of road congestion. Two booking management systems and the arising routing problems are presented. The solutions provided by the two systems are compared with the current state of the distribution.

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the 4th-leading cause of death in the US, affecting approximately 15.7 million Americans. The societal cost of COPD was estimated at $39 billion in 2010, but the cost is rising. Many COPD patients also have evidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Patients with both COPD and CVD have a 3-fold greater risk of death when compared to smokers without COPD.
 
 Blood lipids – especially triglycerides – are an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. High blood lipids contribute to the development of “plaques” in the blood vessels (areas of inflammation and hardening of the arteries) that can lead to heart attack or stroke. Our preliminary data show that COPD patients have higher triglycerides than smokers without COPD, and this is associated with a reduced ability of the leg muscles to use oxygen to make energy. This association remained even after accounting for differences in lung function, smoking history, or physical activity. We propose that a diminished capacity of leg muscles to use oxygen results in lipids being used at a lower rate, thereby accumulating in the muscles and blood of patients with severe COPD. It is not known whether the ability of muscles to use oxygen is involved in the development of CVD in severe COPD. To investigate this, we will assess calcium formation in the arteries of 245 COPD patients, and test the association with the capacity of the muscles to use oxygen. 
 
 We also have preliminary evidence to suggest that a diminished capacity for tissues to use oxygen in COPD patients might not be limited to the leg muscles. All tissues require oxygen to make energy and, when this process is impaired, it limits the ability of the cells to function normally. Whether the immune system is also affected in this regard, is currently unknown. We aim to address this question by assessing oxygen use in both the blood and muscles of 40 COPD patients and 10 controls. In a further 10 patients, we will evaluate whether 8-weeks of exercise training (pulmonary rehabilitation) is sufficient to offset some of the negative effects of COPD. 
 
 The findings from these studies will improve our understanding of the causes of cardiovascular disease in COPD, and may point to therapeutic interventions that target the negative consequences.

description: Kierkegaard, like Plato, though using different methods and conclusions, sought to ground knowledge in the ineffability of subjectivity. For Plato, knowledge comes subjectively (internally); for Kierkegaard, it comes by God's grace through faith. Socrates becomes the facilitator for the slave in the Meno, as does God for the man of faith. Again, Kierkegaard is also concerned with passion. "...the paradox is the passion of thought, and the thinker without the paradox is like the lover without passion; a mediocre fellow" (p. 37). The paradox is necessitated by the metaphysical nature of the inquiry. Only knowledge through faith can approach the paradox since it is by definition beyond our knowledge. Passion must accompany the leap of faith, since knowledge acquisition for the man of faith is guided by God.

Verso una teoria locale dell'appropriazione nell'insegnamento/apprendimento della fisica

description: The research is framed within the scientific area of physics education and analyses implementations of a teaching proposal on thermodynamics in classes of a scientifically-oriented secondary school (grade 12). After a detailed review of research literature on teaching/learning thermodynamics, the thesis includes the description of the paths and of the materials used in the classes. The paths have been designed to create a learning environment rich enough to enable each student to integrate content knowledge into her/his broader path of personal and social growth. This has been possible because the material have been designed to exploit productive forms of complexity that take into account both the intrinsic complexity of the scientific thought and the complexity of learning processes. The main part of thesis concerns the systematic analysis of the data collected during the implementations. The analysis, together with careful methodological considerations, was carried out to capture and understand what happened in class and, as a result, it led to define and operazionalize the concept of appropriation. The analysis, then, moved toward building an humble theory of appropriation (how, when and why the appropriation occurs) by means of focal analyses on the classroom dynamics, both collective and individual. The last part of the thesis deals with the issues of transfer and reproducibility of a teaching experience.

description: TOWARD A HUMAN RESOURCE TRAINING PARADIGM FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: a complex and integral approach between EDGAR MORIN E KENNETH EARL WILBER. The aim of the thesis is to improve the way of thinking and practicing human resources training in Italy. There is currently no accepted paradigm but a fragmentation of initiatives. Also it can be said that these initiatives are not tailored to the needs of the twenty-first century.To do this I set out to hybridize Edgar Morin and Kenneth Wilber theories as outstanding representatives of the category of synoptic thinkers. I was forced to incorporate a broad introduction to the Integral Studies, Integral Theory and AQAL framework for the Italian public. The thesis proposes 1) a training-needs analysis of the twenty-first century, 2) a hybridization-grid of the three principles of complex thought with the three principles of the Integral Methodological pluralism, 3) the explanation of the need for a permanent trainers? training, 4) the hypothesis for a new paradigm. The hypothesis focuses on four phases: PHASE 0 or phase of trainers? training following Integral Life Practices principles; PHASE 1 or phase of analysis through psychograph and sociograph, levels/states diagram, typologies ; PHASE 2 or listening phase of the client; PHASE 3 or ?metabletichs? phase which contains the vertical development on postformal thought, ethical development, post-formal performance, the horizontal development of mindfulness in the waking, dreaming and dreamless state, the development of a ?tetrafocale? divided attention on the four quadrants; PHASE 4 or evaluation phase

description: Cigarette smoke (CS) is a major environmental risk factor for various pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atherosclerosis (Polverino, Celli, & Owen, 2018). While these diseases have been linked to endothelial dysfunction, little is known about the diversity and maintenance of the pulmonary endothelium, or about the responses of diverse subsets to CS. Among the thousands of different kinds of chemicals in CS are toxins that act as ligand of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), which is a ligand-activated transcription factor known to be induced by CS in vitro and in vivo (Rogers et al., 2017; Sarill et al., 2015). AhR activation has been shown to attenuate CS-induced inflammation in the lung (Baglole et al., 2008; Thatcher et al., 2007), however, the molecular mechanisms of AhR’s protective effects in pulmonary diseases remain largely unknown. 
 The Butcher Lab has pioneered functional studies of endothelial specialization and tissue-specific mechanisms for endothelial leukocyte recruitment. Combining single-cell transcriptomics and lineage tracing, the lab has more recently defined multiple lymph node endothelial cell (EC) subsets including tissue-specific venous phenotypes for immune cell recruitment, and distinct capillary subsets including a novel capillary resident endothelial progenitor population for immune angiogenesis. In my first year in the lab I applied these approaches to lymph node lymphatic endothelium: with our collaborators, I identified new subsets, and used computational tools to model and predict subset niches and alignments in the tissue, and to predict their functions. My long-term goal is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of vascular diseases for therapeutic ends. The immediate aims of this proposal are focused on how environmental factors such as CS affect the molecular pathways that control the survival of different populations of pulmonary endothelial cells.
 Elucidation of EC and their responses to CS at the single cell level will generate insights into the mechanisms of EC dysfunction in smoking-related diseases. The methods, data and hypotheses generated will provide a framework and roadmap for pathophysiologic and preclinical studies leading to novel therapeutics for CS-related disease.

description: This research presents an historical comparative analysis (1945-2001) of Italian migrants? associations in two Europe?s country: Belgium and Geneva. The research compares the associative practices of Italians in Brussels and Geneva, it focuses on the importance of immigrant organisations. Such organisations are not only important for the immigrants themselves, but also for their participation and integration into the host society. Immigrants set up organisations to create, express and maintain a collective identity. Using examples from specific types of organisation (mutual benefit societies, religious groups, hometown associations, political groups, cultural associations) we examine the factors that shape immigrants? formal sociability. We can thus see what differences were made important by whom, for whom, and for how long. The information gathered in this way can only be assessed if we know what factors influence the founding and continuation of organisations, and how this influence works. The study focus on how and why immigrant organisations originate, and how they manage to survive and change over time. The study demonstrates the strength of ethnically based organizations to be an especially powerful determinant of the likelihood of ethnic collective action. The essay approaches the topic from a historical perspective to show how quasi-universal processes on the one hand, and local and temporal specificities on the other, shaped associational practices in a way that transcended the ethno-national traditions and characteristics of particular immigrant groups and host countries.

description: Smoking cigarettes is associated with high blood pressure, which represents a major public health and socioeconomic issue. However, the mechanism underlying this process is unclear. Nicotine is the active ingredient of cigarettes and can be one of the links between smoking and blood pressure elevation. E-cigarettes containing nicotine have become more popular in recent years and may have the potential to cause high blood pressure. We previously showed that both nicotine and electronic cigarettes increase stress hormone and elevate blood pressure in mice. We propose that nicotine mediates the detrimental effects of combustible and electronic cigarettes on blood pressure. In this project, we plan to expose mice to nicotine via electronic cigarettes, and study the mechanism of this exposure could cause blood pressure elevations and how to prevent and treat this disorder. The results of these studies will increase our understanding of the mechanism of detrimental effect of electronic cigarettes on blood pressure, and may aid in the development of medications to prevent and treat the increases in blood pressure induced by combustible and electronic cigarettes.
A new test for topographic disorientation in elderly people. Preliminary results in a healthy sample

description: In the physiological aging, a reduction in processing speed, episodic memory and working memory have been well established. However, little is known about navigational abilities in elderly people and a few ecological tools are available. Recently, some evidences (Cushman & Stein, 2008; Hort et al., 2007) have suggested topographic disorientation (TD) as a possible marker of conversion from amnesic Mild Cognitive Impairment (a-MCI) to Alzheimer?s disease (AD). The purpose of this research was to create a new ecological instrument in healthy elderly subjects to be subsequently used in clinical setting. Sample: 38 healthy volunteer participants were enrolled, mean age 67.05 (SD = 8.06), 18 males and 15 females. All of them were right-handed. Instruments: a neuropsychological standard battery and experimental tasks that consist of Bidimensional stimuli and the Plastic City with several subtests have been administered. The role of cognitive reserve in navigation abilities has been also evaluated by a recent standardized questionnaire (CRIq) (Nucci, Mondini & Mapelli, 2011). Results: significant correlations among the experimental tests, spatial planning tasks and executive functions have been found. In navigation testing, no differences were detected according to gender, while age resulted to play an important role. Younger elderly showed better performances in execution times, learning of different paths and remembering landmarks met in the previous way. Participants who made many navigational mistakes showed worse scores in cognitive reserve and in visual-spatial memory task (Map Replacement, Recall Replacement on Map and Bidimensional stimuli). Conclusion: according to the previous studies (deIpolyi, Rankin, Mucke, Miller & Gorno-Tempini, 2007; Cushman & Stein, 2008), remembering the correct place of landmarks seems to be an important ability in orientation, along with age and cognitive reserve. These preliminary interesting results support going on the research in elderly navigation; however the Plastic City needs to be improved and subsequently test and re-test. In future research, the Plastic City deserves to be applied also in MCI and early AD patients.

description: The oral cavity is a dynamic environment in which cells must regularly handle bacterial, chemical and physical insults. A major group of insults are the carcinogens, with smoking and E-cigarette vaping being prime culprits. To cope with these stresses, the epithelium that lines the oral cavity is highly regenerative, with an average turnover of several days. However, how this regeneration is achieved is unknown and is of great clinical importance, as there are many oral pathologies, such as periodontitis and cancer that likely involve defects in this process. The overall goal of this proposal is to provide definitive information about the direct effects of E-cigs on the interplay between intracellular pathways and extrinsic microenvironmental factors that are responsible for oral epithelial barrier maintenance.

description: Tobacco use accounts for 91% of oral and oropharyngeal cancers (OC) among males and 59% among females. Underserved populations have the highest rate of tobacco use and carry the highest rate of OC prevalence and mortality. Early diagnosis is the primary determinant of OC outcomes, yet >2/3 of OCs are diagnosed late, when 5-year survival <20%. If OC is detected early, five-year survival >80%. There exists no non-specialist tool for detecting OC early , and >90% of underserved individuals who carry the highest OC risk do not have access to the specialists who detect OC using surgical biopsy. Long-term goal: develop a smartphone-based intraoral camera (IOC) system, diagnostic algorithm and App designed for non-specialist use that will detect OC early and provide immediate decision-making guidance. Objective: develop and test in high risk individuals an innovative IOC system which can record autofluorescence and polarized white light images from all areas of the oropharynx. A novel machine learning-based diagnostic algorithm that analyzes these images combined with OC risk factors to detect OC and provide a differential diagnosis vs. other oral conditions will also be developed and tested. The diagnostic algorithm will be accessed through a simple smartphone or tablet-based App which also can connect with a specialist for communication and remote examination. 
 
 Specific Aims, Research Design and Methods: Aim 1: Construct and test IOC with large field of view and bendable soft tip. The IOC will record autofluorescence and polarized white light images from all areas of the oropharynx. Functionality will be evaluated in 125 healthy subjects by 5 clinicians. Aim 2: Develop and train a machine learning-driven algorithm to identify OC. An App-based algorithm will be developed that analyzes IOC images combined with personalized OC risk factors to detect OC and differentiate it from oral pathologies with similar presentation. The algorithm will be developed, tested and refined using our database of 10,000 intra-oral images with histopathology/specialist diagnosis and high risk behavior records. Aim 3: Evaluate IOC system’s diagnostic accuracy. Diagnostic accuracy will be tested and refined in 3,000 high-risk subjects of whom at least 60% will be tobacco users and >70% have conditions resembling OC such as leukoplakia, erythroplakia or oral ulceration.

description: AIM: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is typically associated with impaired quality of life, depression, anxiety and psychological stress. Expressive writing (EW) has shown beneficial effects on such variables in patients with a variety of chronic illnesses. We sought to determine for the first time whether EW benefits also patients with CHD. METHODS: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial was carried out in order to evaluate the psychological and physical effects of administering EW to patients with CHD (N=64) participating in a residential cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. Patients were randomly assigned to write thoughts and emotions (EW group) or facts (control group) about heart disease and treatment. Depression, anxiety, health-related quality of life, post-traumatic growth and weight were recorded at baseline, at the end of the 4-week CR program, at 3 months and at 6 months after discharge. RESULTS: Physical health significantly improved in both groups at 3 months and no between-group effect was evident in longitudinal multilevel regression modeling. Post-traumatic growth showed a significant improvement only within EW group. CONCLUSION: EW showed additional psychological and physical benefits in patients with CHD when included as a component of residential cardiac rehabilitation.

?What can I do when I know the system is wrong??. Rappresentazioni delle disuguaglianze nel Child Welfare System a New York City
Creators: name: CASTELLANO, Viola

description: My dissertation focuses on the child welfare system in New York City, which consists of services developed to protect the well being of children subjected to abuse or neglect and the rehabilitation of family's members charged with their endangerment. The child welfare system and its institutional arena is ?racially disproportionate?: 95% of families in the system are black and Latino. I analyze the debate around social and racial justice issues within and without the institutional field of the child welfare system and how the practice of community partnership is imagined as a way to address many of its problematic aspects. My aim is to show how social suffering, racialization and poverty are interconnected in shaping the child welfare pool of recipients. I am looking especially at the way in which the child welfare system is experienced and conceptualized by parents, who often perceived it as punitive and invasive. My research questions focus on how the discrepancy between institutional actors and local communities is performed and re-enacted in the practices related to child welfare, and how parents manage and choose to engage in them in order to get their children back. Putting an accent on the process of co-production of a ?dense? system of control and subjectification of the population, my ethnography describes how multiple layers of conflicting practices inhabit a governmental device which is primarily about surveillance, disciplining, labeling and citizen-making. In order to do so, I analyze and interrogate discourses and practices of everyday interactions between practitioners and families in a variety of settings: support groups and parenting skill classes for parents, family courts, community-based NGO's and anti-racist organizers who are working towards policy changes in the system.
