Violencias y precarización
Los jóvenes de Latinoamérica viven entornos diversos y contradictorios, muchas veces sentados en un proyecto adultocéntrico, heteropatriarcal y racializado, donde se vive violencia de género, violencia institucional, narcotráfico, pobreza y exclusión. En este contexto de precariedad social, esta obra coloca su centro de atención en el relato biográfico de jóvenes en lugares como Ciudad Juárez, México; Córdoba, Argentina, y Santiago, Chile, donde se muestra cómo se articula la experiencia juvenil con estos escenarios sociales. En ese sentido, surgen las preguntas: ¿Desde dónde hablan los jóvenes?, ¿qué particularidades adquiere el lugar desde el cual entretejen sus múltiples experiencias de vida?, que son desmenuzadas en los trabajos aquí presentados.
Refining Expertise
Winner of the 2015 Rachel Carson Prize presented by the Society for Social Studies of Science Residents of a small Louisiana town were sure that the oil refinery next door was making them sick. As part of a campaign demanding relocation away from the refinery, they collected scientific data to prove it. Their campaign ended with a settlement agreement that addressed many of their grievances—but not concerns about their health. Yet, instead of continuing to collect data, residents began to let refinery scientists' assertions that their operations did not harm them stand without challenge. What makes a community move so suddenly from actively challenging to apparently accepting experts' auth...

She was nonetheless commissioned by the Field Museum to make a series of life-size sculptures for the museum’s new racial exhibition, which became the largest exhibit on rac...
Developing a Toolkit for Fostering Open Science Practices
The National Academies Roundtable on Aligning Incentives for Open Science, established in 2019, has taken on an important role in addressing issues with open science. The roundtable convenes critical stakeholders to discuss the effectiveness of current incentives for adopting open science practices, current barriers of all types, and ways to move forward in order to align reward structures and institutional values. The Roundtable convened a virtual public workshop on fostering open science practices on November 5, 2020. The broad goal of the workshop was to identify paths to growing the nascent coalition of stakeholders committed to reenvisioning credit/reward systems (e.g., academic hiring, tenure and promotion, and grants)to fully incentivize open science practices. The workshop explored the information and resource needs of researchers, research institutions, government agencies, philanthropies, professional societies, and other stakeholders interested in further supporting and implementing open science practices. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop.
