Intimate Inequalities
When it comes to the topic of romantic and sexual intimacy, social observers are often quick to throw criticisms at millennials. However, we know little about millennials’ own hopes, fears, struggles, and triumphs in their relationships from the perspectives of millennials themselves. Intimate Inequalities uses millennials’ own stories to explore how they navigate gender, race, social class, sexuality, and age identities and expectations in their relationships. Situating millennials’ lives within contemporary social and cultural conditions in the United States, Intimate Inequalities takes an intersectional approach to examining how millennials challenge—or rather, uphold—social inequalities in their lives as they come into their own as full adults. Intimate Inequalities provides an in-depth look into the intimate lives of one group of millennials living in the United States, demystifying what actually goes on behind closed doors, and arguing that millennials’ private lives can reveal much about their ability to navigate inequalities in their lives more broadly.
Casualties of Care
This book explores the unintended consequences of compassion in the world of immigration politics. Miriam Ticktin focuses on France and its humanitarian immigration practices to argue that a politics based on care and protection can lead the state to view issues of immigration and asylum through a medical lens. Examining two "regimes of care"—humanitarianism and the movement to stop violence against women—Ticktin asks what it means to permit the sick and sexually violated to cross borders while the impoverished cannot? She demonstrates how in an inhospitable immigration climate, unusual pathologies can become the means to residency papers, making conditions like HIV, cancer, and select experiences of sexual violence into distinct advantages for would-be migrants. Ticktin’s analysis also indicts the inequalities forged by global capitalism that drive people to migrate, and the state practices that criminalize the majority of undocumented migrants at the expense of care for the exceptional few.

Investigating Mechanisms Responsible for the Pro-regenerative Effects of Conditioning Electrical Stimulation
Though capable of regeneration, repair surgeries following peripheral nerve injury are often incomplete or entirely unsuccessful. The slow rate of regeneration (1-3mm/day) of a proximal injury requires up to two years to reach the distal target, whereas significant muscle atrophy occurs after 6-12 months; therefore, even if the regenerating axons reach these muscles they may no longer be amenable to reinnervation (Ginsell and Keating, 2014). Despite the advancements in surgical techniques, over half of patients with peripheral nerve injury experience lifelong deficits that can severely impact quality of life (Ruijs et al., 2005). The conditioning crush lesion (CCL), a technique in which a cr...
