Brown-Pérez, University of Massachusetts AmherstPublication Memorial to Mexico's victims of violence(2011-05-26) Pérez, Ventura RThis image serves as the main image for our laboratory, the Violence & Conflict Research Laboratory (VCL). The VCL at the University of Massachusetts Amherst provides the infrastructural and analytical support for the creation of a cohort of students working on issues of violence in both its biological and cultural manifestations. Through the lenses of bioarchaeology and cultural, linguistic, and forensic anthropology, it facilitates research and teaching development with collaborators within the University of Massachusetts Amherst community and worldwide. Additionally, the VCL provides editorial and publication opportunities through the open-source, peer-reviewed academic journal, Landscapes of Violence.Publication Vol. 2 No. 2: Bioarchaeological Perspectives on Violence(2012-05-10) Zimmer, Adam CVol. 2 No. 2: Bioarchaeological Perspectives on Violence Background image provided by: Dr. Ventura Pérez, University of Massachusetts AmherstPublication Vol. 3 No. 2: Movimiento por la Paz con Justicia y Dignidad.

I argue that the gender and maternal affiliations of these women—which coalesce around their common experience of the male gaze and a belief that children’s clothing represents the embodied tastes of the mother—are ultimately overwhelmed by distinct attitudes towards conspicuous consumption, in-group/out-group signals, and even facial expressions. I conclude that, when judging the ads, these mothers engage in a vicarious process referencing their own daily practice of social interaction. In other words, they are auditioning the gaze through which others will view their own children.Publication Professional Resource: Code of Best Practices in Fair Use For Media Literacy Education(2009-01-01) Boulton, ChrisNew media and communication technologies have expanded both our object of study and the range of techniques for teaching our students, but powerful gatekeepers remain. From corporate owners crying foul when we quote from copyrighted material to school administrators haunted by the specter of lawsuits, a culture of fear has descended over teaching in the digital age, bombarding us with a myriad of confusing guidelines and dubious restrictions. Some have pushed back, arguing that our right to access and produce media in educational settings is protected by the doctrine of “fair use” as outlined in Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976.
