- Summary:
- It was an honor to have Dr Porges on the podcast. As you probably know, he is the creator of the Polyvagal Theory and author of "The Polyvagal Theory" and "The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory." I recommend both of these books, but the Pocket Guide is easier to take in, understand and apply. Polyvagal Theory as the basis for understanding and human experience. “Understanding comes from feeling safe with ideas and thoughts.” “Polyvagal Theory enabled me to understand the portals we have to optimize the human experience.” Before PVT, the focus was on events versus feelings Feelings Emotion versus bodily experience Feelings sit on top of autonomic state Inverted triangle, bottom point is the brainstem and wider point are the higher brain structures “What higher brain structures can do are in part limited by the state that the brainstem is in.” ”Many of the observables in our human behavior are not intentional.” “We have feelings and we respond to them.” Empathy vs Compassion Empathy - we feel other people's’ feelings “Empathetic pain” - If another feels pain, we may not be in a good position to support Evaluating pain, like “That’s horrible.” Compassion - respectful and acknowledging of another’s pain, but there to witness and support “People aren’t prepared to listen, to witness, in a compassionate way.” “Healing” the Vagus Nerve? Vagus nerve is a conduit Vagus isn’t the concern, it’s the feedback loop between organ and brainstem that is the concern Certain feedback loops or defense strategies can get stuck Comorbidities come along with an ANS that is in a defensive state Be careful of ‘hacking the system,’ there are more natural ways to perform neural exercises, like singing, socializing, rocking, pranayama yoga and playing Extend the duration of the exhale Other Fs… The responses are adaptive, not bad “Flop” is an adaptive response to death feign, part of the most ancient dorsal vagal circuit “Shutting down” is literally passing out, but not everyone does that, but will have immobilization features Hybrid and gradation of sympathetic along with immobilization A body that goes into immobilization features may actually mobilize in an attempt to resist immobilization Substance Use Addictive behavior is a strategy to regulate state True physical addiction is secondary to initial benefit of addictive behavior The addictive behavior is protecting the individual from shutting down Psychiatry Child psychiatry is about pharmacological manipulation Psychiatry is not looking at the social engagement system behaviors “Psychiatry needs a reeducation.” “The warmest home for the polyvagal theory… is in trauma.” Polyvagal Theory provides a narrative consistent with client reports “Drugs effect physiology,” they are looking to “down-regulate” arousal “Some drugs will calm people down and they will be isolated in their calmness.” Calmed down doesn’t mean socially engaged Vagal tone means the amount of information coming down the vagus. Psychiatric medications may remove efficiency of regulating physiological state Psychiatry needs to measure autonomic regulation of the individual on and off the drugs Dominant State Safe and social system needs to be accessible to reduce ambiguity of a cue “Freeze” is the mix of dorsal vagal immobilization plus sympathetic arousal “Shut down” is limp, “freeze” is rigid Clinical Disorders as Adaptations Adaptations are a shifting of the more global autonomic states Clinical disorders are a compromise to the social engagement system As a species, we evolved to co-regulate, if we take that out of the equation, you get self-regulatory behaviors that result in diagnoses "I think what you would find is it really doesn't matter what the diagnosis is. That they share some common features. And the common features have to do with state regulation. And in fact the manifestations... has to do with the strategies that the higher brain structures developed to regulate their state. And in a sense the personal narrative that evolved from those psychological or mental experiences." -Dr. Stephen Porges A disruptor (like abuse or traumatic event) occurs that disrupts opportunities to co-regulate with a safe other Personal Narratives PVT brings the narrative that there is a reason someone is feeling the way they feel Higher brain structures (cognitive and sense of awareness) attuned body state, it will act as a container to the feelings Narrative will change when people become attuned to their state Narrative can be a container to physiological activity Our body’s reactions were heroic attempts to save our lives Dissociative Identity Disorder & Dissociation Alters may be seen as a polyvagal state, they have autonomic components Often, DID systems have no more than three alters Dissociation can be understood as decreased blood flow to the brain Dissociation is an adaptive feature in place of passing out; repeated passing out can result in injury or death Dissociation is common and there are gradations Polyvagal theory is an evolving theory that others are adding to, it’s a framework of thought.

- Summary:
- John Dickerson, retired Executive Director of The Arc of Indiana, explains that after World War II, parents across the country began to think differently about the future of their children with disabilities. In 1951, there was a national meeting of parents and other interested individuals that kick-started state organizations. The first schools for children with disabilities started in church basements. At the time, there were no special education teachers. Parents found teachers accredited in other things, but who were interested in providing educational opportunities to children with disabilities. The Arc is a national community-based organization advocating for people with disabilities. The Arc of Indiana was formed in 1956 when there were few services for individuals with disabilities.

- Summary:
- In 1950, the U.S. Customs seized various materials that Alfred Kinsey was trying to import from Europe, a circumstance that led to the federal court case “United States v. 31 Photographs etc.” Among these controversial objects were books, engravings, and photographs that were deemed “obscene” according to the legal standard of the time. In 1957, thanks to the support of the IU President Herman B. Wells and a group of lawyers involved in civil liberties activities, the Kinsey Institute won the case and was able to recover the books and artworks, which are now part of its library. The verdict of this trial greatly contributed to redefine the notion of “obscenity” in legal terms, by creating an exception for the purpose of study and research, and thus consolidating academic freedom. This interdisciplinary project, at the crossroads of literary and legal studies, will develop a digital collection of books and artworks that were seized by U.S. Customs and then apply to this corpus tools of text mining and analysis meant to identify patterns that lead to the accusation of obscenity.

- Summary:
- This project examines publicly available statements about sex and sex work in light of the #MeToo movement and in response to the passing of the FOSTA-SESTA. It focuses on the online efforts of sex-work advocates against the passing of the SESTA, and how those efforts affect the public deliberative democratic process, especially with the rise of Democratic Socialist candidates, such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who oppose the legislation. I want to consider how coalition building between different activist groups online contributes to new methods of rhetorical invention that can push outward to influence the public process of deliberation.

- Summary:
- Between 1880-1920s, the United States experienced the most significant relocation of Italian immigrants - over 4 million. Known today as the 'Great Arrival,' this dramatic surge was the result of decades of internal strife happening across the country, which left society rife with violent uprisings, widespread poverty, and soon the rise of Mussolini. For the following decades, Italian immigrants faced unforeseen hardships dealing with a landscape and culture that was unknown to them and discrimination from those who did not approve of their arrival. For this body of work, archives from the Terracina family were selected starting after their migration from Italy to the United States (1910) up until they assimilated into the Cajun culture in Bayou Teche Louisiana (the 1950s). Photo's in this particular time frame were chosen because of the striking discrepancies between what the photographs depict on the surface–images of family bliss and cultural representation, and the conflicts they faced being immigrants. What these petals represent is the cultural displacement a migrant family faces when adopted by a land and culture that is not their own, and the frailty of maintaining their original customs during a time of cultural assimilation. Process These portraits were created using a combination of cut fabric and laser engraving. The material was torn and warped to represent the southern magnolia petal. Each picture selected was meticulously chosen based on the family's immigrant generation: first and second generation Italian immigrants. The memorial box was created to contain the petals; acting as a portfolio, archive box, and interactive installation piece.

- Summary:
- My research project topic models the letters of Alexander Hamilton. I will compare the results of a topic model of Hamilton's outgoing correspondence from his arrival in the American colonies (after October 1772) to his death (July 1804) with the lyrics from Hamilton: An American Musical. In doing so, I study the extent to which the vocabulary of Hamilton's letters shape the musical's lyrics,and how this shift reflects changes in perceptions of his place within eighteenth-century American political culture. This project serves as the foundation for my MLIS digital humanities capstone project.

- Summary:
- As a scholar-activist devoted to anti-racist, decolonial, femme-inist, anti-capitalist, anti-ableist struggles to decriminalize undocumented people in the United States, I continuously organize in the hopes of altering or dismantling the systems and institutions that perpetuate violence against marginalized, Black and brown communities. Inspired by the website Torn Apart/Separados, which maps Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities across the settle U.S. (volume 1) and the amount of money congress representatives have received from ICE (volume 2), and as part of my dissertation, I wish to create a network graph visualization --eventually accompanied by written and audio interpretations in at least English and Spanish-- of the overlaps between ICE funding congress (potential effects on public policy), government representatives benefiting from public universities, and universities' ultimate complicity with ICE. In tracing "money moves," this project lays the groundwork for activist mobilizations that deploy working-class, labor movement tactics as a means to organize within/against the imperial, neoliberal university (in this case, Big 10 institutions). Finally, my larger aim is to create inter-state, national, and international (no-border) networks of communication and support for the communities to which we belong and/or with whom we are in solidarity.

- Summary:
- This project is part of my ongoing doctoral research which investigates the establishment of recipe collections and cookbooksas a genre in the early days of print. Building from the anonymous recipe collections from the Italian peninsula of the XIII and XIV centuries, Maestro Martino’s manuscript Libro de Arte Coquinaria– composed in the second half of the XV century– lead to the monumental treatises of the XVI century, Messisbugo’s Banchetti (1549) and Bartolomeo Scappi’s Opera (1570). I analyze these cookbooks through a network analysis of ingredients in order to study historic culinary practices, gustatory culture, and the cookbooks as a form.

- Summary:
- My project focuses on societal trends and changes surrounding homosexuality as expressed in the Indiana Daily Student (IDS). The paper is an ideal source to track change over time because it has been running with weekly publications since 1867. It also represents a unique perspective on events as it is both written for and by college students. After digitizing issues of the IDS, I will perform a text analysis in order to track how articles portray the LGBT community. Those articles will then be used to create a timeline that visualizes key moments in gay rights history and the public perspective of homosexuality.

- Summary:
- As part of my PhD dissertation in Musicology,I am building a network graph (visualized using Gephi) of Russian émigré and traveling performers who toured the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. By visualizing these relationships in a graph, I more clearly define the extent to which these people are related while presenting these relationships in a way that is more useful and illustrative than prose text. The relationships that exist between the people in my study fall into six types: artistic (when individuals collaborate together for a performance or other creative enterprise), patron (when one individual is providing money or influence in support of another with no expectation of reciprocation), professional (when an individual is employed by another individual), family (marriages, family relationships), educational (teacher-student relationships), and personal (mutual acquaintances exclusive of artistic or professional endeavors). The graph frames a more nuanced reading of particular nodes in the artistic networks of New York City in the 1920s.
