"We'd learned that, it's no surprise, people with disabilities were the most underserved group in the mortgage and lending industry." In this video, Deborah McCarty explains the launching of the Back Home in Indiana Alliance in 1997. The original focus of the Alliance was on increasing low rates of home ownership among people with disabilities. Since then it has worked to advocate for a larger supply of integrated housing in the state that is both affordable and accessible. Deborah discusses the partnerships that have been instrumental in the Alliance's work and in its recognition by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development as one of 100 best partnerships in the country. Deborah, who is Executive Director of the Back Home in Indiana Alliance, was interviewed in 2017.

Wellbeing Informed by Science and Evidence in Indiana (WISE Indiana) is a partnership with the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute’s Monon Collaborative and the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) to engage Indiana’s nationally-recognized academic experts to evaluate and inform Indiana practices, programs and policies. The WISE Indiana team determined that the value of untreated mental illness in Indiana is over $4 billion.
My project aims to explain the enduring influence of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, especially among authors opposed to his racist and reactionary politics, by arguing that Lovecraft’s work presents a philosophy of “asymptotic reenchantment.” Discourses of asymptotic re-enchantment begin as realism or science fiction but then progressively approach the boundary between these naturalistic genres and fantasy, without ever crossing the border. To illustrate this epistemological shift, I use Topic Modeling to isolate characteristic topics (including “Creation,” “The Past,” and “The Apocalypse”) from a set of 12 fantasy novels and then track the prevalence of these topics across Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness” (1936) and Reza Negarestani’s Lovecraftian treatise/novel Cyclonopedia (2008).My results suggest that the magical character of these texts rises and falls periodically, cyclically disenchanting and reenchanting the world. This discourse provides an alternative epistemology to the racialized scientism and secularism of neoliberalism without abandoning science wholesale.
Poster presented at the Indiana University Medical Student Program for Research and Scholarship (IMPRS) Research Symposium held on July 27-28, 2023 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
This project intended to study the relationship between shift work (specifically third shift), and its effects on depression and anxiety symptoms. Working nights has shown to have serious negative side effects on one’s physical and mental health. Hypotheses were made that those working third shift would experience higher levels of depression and anxiety symptoms than those who did not work overnight. Participants surveyed in this research worked either first, second, third or a rotating shift, and were asked questions pertaining to levels of anxiety and depression in a typical work week. After analyzing the data from all eligible participants, the study found that there were significantly higher levels of depression in those working third shift, rather than first shift, and that there were significantly higher levels of anxiety in those working second shift rather than first shift.

Ethnographers routinely employ pseudonyms and even mask the sites (e.g., street corner, neighborhood, city) of their research. This is usually justified as an ethical necessity, to protect our participants. In this talk, drawing from a paper I am co-authoring with Alexandra Murphy (Michigan), I challenge this justification and spell out some of the ways that masking can potentially harm research participants and impede social science research. Regarding ethics, I show, on the one hand, how masking often fails to provide the guaranteed degree of identity protection and, on the other hand, how research participants may have a very different understanding of what the researcher owes them that has little to do with whether or not they are named (e.g., portraying them as a human, not just a social type). Regarding scientific integrity, I argue that masking reifies ethnographic authority, invokes a pseudo-generalizability that downplays the particularities of the case (e.g., "Middletown"), and inhibits replicability (or "revisits"), falsifiability, or comparison. I conclude by arguing that masking is a convention, not an ethical or IRB necessity, and while I concede that there are many cases in which masking is the ethical choice, I contend that we should no longer consider it the default option.
Discusses the relationship of crime to race, national origin, and minority groups. Points out patterns of belief and the misconceptions that exist. Relates living conditions and geographical distribution to crime. Concludes that race is irrelevant to criminality. (KQED) Kinescope.
Examines what has happened in Europe to check the threat of a menancing population growth. Traces the growth of population in Europe from the Middle Ages and suggests that the small-family concept, which began in England in the late nineteenth century, has had more effect on population than any other thing.
Evolution of inherited patterns: adaptation; the means of evolution –mutation and recombination; retention of variability; results of evolution –specific selected examples such as drug resistance, melanism, mimicry; ecological aspects.
Presentation at Open Repositories 2015 (OR2015), the 10th International Conference on Open Repositories, Indianapolis, Indiana, in session P5A: Building the Perfect Repository.
In this program, the problems facing the “ex-con” who leaves prison with a record and mingles with a public that forgets he is a criminal but that cannot forget that he has been imprisoned are discussed by criminologist Joseph D. Lohman. Filmed scenes illustrate the prisoner’s alienation from society and the lack of procedures to reintegrate him into the community. An inmate describes experiences he had while free which led him back to crime and prison. Hannum and Lohman discuss the aspects of prison life needed to teach skills and orient inmates toward release and the problems of return to society.
The challenges for patients and care providers are different in rural areas, compared to their urban counterparts. We're discussing that here with Dr. Christopher Owens, a recent graduate of the School of Public Health at Indiana University - Bloomington. Owens is now an assistant professor at Texas A&M University, where he works studying rural HIV prevention and care, rural LGBTQ+ health, and the sexual healthcare practices of rural healthcare providers.
Today the topic is his latest collaborative research, The Lived Experiences of Rural HIV Social Workers.
Owens co-authors on this qualitative research are Eva Voorheis, Harold D. Green, Debby Herbenick and Brian Dodge from the School of Public Health at Indiana University, Jessica N. Lester, from the Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology, School of Education at IU, and Randolph D. Hubach from Purdue University.

Illustrates such eye defects as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, and describes their correction with proper glasses. Calls attention to eye infections, the removal of foreign bodies, and damage by radiation.
In this talk, Cassidy Sugimoto argues that altmetrics have failed to deliver on their promise. She discusses criticisms of altmetrics (including those dealing with validity and reliability issues), but argues that the largest failure of altmetrics has been the focus on a single genre‰ÛÓthat is, the journal article‰ÛÓand setting altmetrics up as an alternative to citations. Sugimoto introduces the notion of outcomes-based evaluation and demonstrates that altmetrics cannot be equated with outcomes in this model. She urges the community to rethink ways in which we can build metrics that can capture larger societal impact. She discusses four axes of potential impact: production, dissemination, engagement, assessment. In each of these, she reviews various examples of current initiatives and challenges the audience to conceive of possible metrics to capture the desired outcome in each scenario.
Discusses the changes taking place in the structure of the American family. Dr. Margaret Mead and Dr. Bertram Beck are questioned on the effect of cultural pressures on family life and the changing distinctions between men and women. Also presents views on a trend toward family centeredness, early marriages, and a greater desire for children.
Bash Kennett takes a trip to show the crude wooden tools used by the pioneer and tells the story of tools from the plow, combine and steam tractor to modern farm equipment. The use of primitive farm tools illustrates a way of life; with each improvement in tools came a change in the way of life of the settler and thus history is reflected in the tools farmers use. Songs include “Old Joe Clarke” and “I Know My Love.”

Summary:
"A documentary tribute to the farm women of America and an explanation of their part in winning the war. Exemplified by 'Mom,' the farm woman is shown to be a potent force in lining up the farm family behind the agricultural war production program. It is "Mom" who helps the child out of difficulty. She looks after the chickens, the pigs, the young calf. If she's not in the garden or in the orchard, she is in the kitchen canning vegetables, picking a chicken, cooking, so that all will have enough and the right kind of food to eat. Everything and everybody on the farm depends on 'Mom.' She lends cheer and encouragement when morale is low. She is the moving spirit in community affairs. The things she does every day on the farm are war work. The attitude of farm women in general is summed up in 'Mom's' closing speech, 'If our farm can help—I guess it's little enough. It's kind of up to you and me to see it through' " (Motion Pictures of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1945, 22).
Examines the fundamental political ideas of fascism--rejection of the individual and deification of the state, distrust of reason and belief in force, and renunciation of freedom in favor of security. Uses documentary film footage to show the environment in which fascism rose in Germany and Italy immediately following World War I, and the disastrous results it brought until its defeat in 1945. Points out that fascism was not necessarily eradicated by World War II.
