New Books in BiographyHilary White, "Holes" (MA Bibliotheque, 2024)Holes splices forms of fiction and nonfiction. The narrator, a researcher of limits at an unidentified university, figures her entanglement with an unobtainable love object as the descent into a black hole. Everything she reads seems to shed light on the non-events that comprise their relationship, and study collapses into life as she struggles to separate events and forms, reality and ideation. Holes is a study in thematic fixation, engaging a range of ‘obsessional artists’ (including Yayoi Kusama, from whom the term is borrowed, Lee Bontecou, and Carolee Schneemann) for whom holes—as idea, imagery, philosophy—have proved evocative, inviting...2024-05-1035 min

Beyond The Paper Gown PodcastHow Women’s Health Research Affects the Bottom Line: WHAM
If you've gone to the doctor and been frustrated by a lack of options, then you've probably experienced the effects of a lack of research on women's health and the impact of certain diseases on women. Unfortunately, it wasn't until 1993 that a law was passed to ensure the inclusion of women and other underrepresented groups in health research. Many of us see this as an essential health equity issue. But you may be surprised to learn that it also affects our country's economy, impacting all of us, regardless of biological sex or gender. Our guest today, Carolee Lee, Founder...2023-02-2331 min

In Site“The Crucible of Friendship:" A conversation between Judith Freeman and Teresa JordanAccording to the Oxford English Dictionary, a friend is “one joined to another in mutual benevolence and intimacy. Not ordinarily applied to lovers or relatives…a boon companion.” It first appears in “Beowolf” in 1018 A.D. as “freondum.” Though the opposite of “fiend,” both words root in the same Germanic word soup for “love” and “hate,” so therefore inextricably intertwined. Here, two old friends, Teresa Jordan and Judith Freeman, both remarkable and accomplished writers and artists, born and bred in the American West, examine their own enduring relationship through the lens of Judith’s latest novel, the incisive, insightful, at times...2022-11-081h 01

A Base da BaseA Base da Base #7 - Aprendizagem Motora, Neurociência e Ensino do Esporte | Guilherme LageQuando se fala de Educação Física se fala de educação para o movimento em suas mais variadas manifestações. Nesse sentido, a Aprendizagem Motora é uma das áreas mais elementares e se refere às mudanças nos movimentos de um organismo que acabam por refletir mudanças na estrutura e função do sistema nervoso. O aprendizado motor ocorre em escalas de tempo e graus de complexidade variados: os humanos aprendem a andar ou falar ao longo dos anos, mas continuam a se ajustar às mudanças de altura, peso, força e outros ao longo de suas vidas.
