Using feminist methodologies to explore female genital mutilation/cutting and child marriage in low- and middle-income contexts by Jones, N, Pincock, K, Alheiwidi, S

“…However, dominant conceptualizations of the drivers and consequences of child marriage and FGM/C often fail to adequately engage with or reflect adolescent girls' own nuanced experiences and perceptions. A feminist epistemology underlines the need for research methods that can uncover and address dynamics of power and inequality, as well as the complexities of voice and agency surrounding these practices, both of which perpetuate harmful practices and marginalize the voices of those who are most affected. …”

Myth ascendant: issues of culture, media, and identity in the celebrity career of Glenn Gould by Campbell, A

“…Focusing on the circumstances of Gould’s career during his lifetime, it identifies three areas of overlapping conceptual interest that provide the basis for an explanatory account of his modern mythology: i) Gould's relationship to the culture of his time, particularly in Canada; ii) Gould’s relationship to the mass media; iii) Gould's relationship to his own artistic identity. This approach is refined through the application of Stuart Hall’s 'Circuit of Culture' model, which yields an understanding of Gould's celebrity in terms of the processes of its representation, production, regulation, and consumption. …”

From Words to Worlds: Bridging Language and Thought by Wong, Lionel Catherine

“…Language, in turn, stocks our mental inventories with new concepts and theories, communicating ideas that we might not otherwise have discovered by thinking on our own even over the course of a lifetime. How do we make meaning from language, and how, in turn, does the meaning we construct from language draw on the other resources and capacities of human thought, from perception, to mental simulation and decision making? …”

Neural and psychological correlates of stuttering by Demirel, B

“…Even more intriguing, people who stutter (PWS) may articulate complex ideas with complete fluency when there is no communicative intent, still may struggle to say their own name in public. My research examines the stuttering phenomenon in two stages: first, using functional MRI (fMRI) to find differences in brain activity associated with stuttering, and second, developing innovative techniques to provide options for people who want to work on their fluency.…”
