The Illusive Race Question & Class:
A Bacteria That Constantly Mutates
by Rodolfo F. Acuña, Ph.D.
California State University, Northridge
Occasional Paper No. 59
November 2005
Abstract
Racism resembles bacteria. It has an uncanny ability to resist cures. Like bacteria, racism
includes variants with unusual traits which have the ability to withstand an antibiotic attack on a
microbe. For the moment the drug or laws kill the defenseless bacteria, “leaving behind — or
‘selecting,’ in biological terms — those that can resist it. These renegade bacteria then multiply,
increasing their numbers a millionfold in a day, becoming the predominant microorganism.” My
point is that we once believed that racism had been defined and that we were on our way to
eradicate this ugly social disease only to find it active and well, but in another form.

The Julian Samora Research Institute is committed to the generation, transmission, and
application of knowledge to serve the needs of Latino communities in the Midwest. To this end, it has
organized a number of publication initiatives to facilitate the timely dissemination of current research
and information relevant to Latinos.
• Research Reports: JSRI’s flagship publications for scholars who want a quality publication with more detail than
usually allowed in mainstream journals. These are produced in-house. Research Reports are selected for their
significant contribution to the knowledge base of Latinos.
• Working Papers: for scholars who want to share their preliminary findings and obtain feedback from others in
Latino studies.
• Statistical Briefs/CIFRAS: for the Institute’s dissemination of “facts and figures” on Latino issues and conditions.
Also designed to address policy questions and to highlight important topics.

Brazil: A Comprehensive Country Analysis
Introduction:
Brazil, the largest country in South America, holds a pivotal position in the region and the global stage. With a rich history, diverse culture, vast natural resources, and a growing economy, Brazil has emerged as a significant player in various domains. This analysis provides insights into Brazil's geography, history, economy, culture, and future prospects.
Geography:
Brazil spans over 8.5 million square kilometers, boasting diverse landscapes, including the Amazon rainforest, the Pantanal wetlands, the Cerrado savannah, and a vast coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon rainforest, often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," plays a critical role in global climate regulation. The country shares borders with ten South American nations, showcasing its influence in the region.
History:
Brazil's history is marked by colonization by the Portuguese in the 16th century. The exploitation of indigenous populations, coupled with the forced labor of African slaves, laid the foundation for Brazil's societal and cultural fabric. Brazil gained independence from Portugal in 1822, establishing a constitutional monarchy. The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw significant waves of immigration, mainly from Europe, shaping the nation's demographic landscape.
Economy:
Brazil has one of the largest and most diversified economies in Latin America. Key sectors include agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and services. The country is a major producer of commodities such as soybeans, coffee, sugarcane, and iron ore, making it a crucial player in the global market. Challenges like income inequality, corruption, and a complex tax system, however, pose significant hurdles to sustained economic growth.
Culture:
Brazil's cultural identity is a blend of indigenous roots, European influence, and African heritage. The nation is known for its vibrant festivals, including Carnaval, a world-famous celebration of music, dance, and vibrant costumes. Football (soccer) holds a special place in Brazilian culture, uniting people across socioeconomic and cultural divides. Additionally, Brazilian music, including genres like samba, bossa nova, and MPB, has gained international recognition.
Society and Demographics:
Brazil is a multicultural society with a diverse ethnic makeup, including people of Indigenous, African, European, and Asian descent. Portuguese is the official language, and Roman Catholicism is the dominant religion, although religious diversity is acknowledged and respected. Socioeconomic disparities are prominent, with a significant gap between the affluent and the impoverished, particularly in urban areas.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
