Studying racism is challenging. Most people avoid publicly expressing racialized comments in fear of being labeled racist. Much public talk is sugar coated and coded to distance the speaker from the racist message. This study captures behind the scenes commentary-racetalk-that degrades people due to race and ethnicity. Despite racial inroads made over the past several decades, the racetalk in this study evinces old fashioned racist ideas persisting in modern imaginations. These scripts say that African Americans are dangerous. Whites are superior. Latinos are dirty and disposable. Indians are sinister. Slavery is a trivial-if not nostalgic and amusing-historical anomaly that is better forgotten. Private racetalk keeps these old scripts hidden yet alive. Through racetalk, people imbue different racial and ethnic groups with oppositional statuses. Racetalk delineates boundaries between whiteness, blackness, and brownness. Racetalk is a tool used in policing these boundaries. Most people who cross racial/ethnic boundaries through alliances, friendships, and courtships are sanctioned. Nevertheless some people are able to cross more successfully than others. An analysis of the content of racetalk reveals the processes through which people negotiate racial/ethnic meanings and boundaries on a daily basis. In so doing, they often perpetuate the old racial regime but occasionally they challenge it.

About Twin Turbulence The story starts in 2004 when journaling became first-time author Kristin Myers'' outlet. This is not a handbook - it''s a labor of love. While reading you will nod, laugh and empathize with Kristin as a woman, as a parent, as a wife, as the mother of twins (which is a completely different ballgame) and as part of a team facing a cancer diagnosis. These are the honest reactions to the constant, unexpected nature of life that was magnified by twins. The trials and errors, the ups and downs, and the in-betweens. This is the truth of living through the rough parts while searching for any and all silver linings. Praise for Twin Turbulence ?Great read for all parents, I was unable to put the book down. It was written with compassion and honesty.? ?I found myself laughing, crying, and remembering along with her.? ?Kristin tells it like it is and that kind of honesty is refreshing. ?

This Side This Side This Side This Side Up: An Alternative Approach to Social Design is my graduate thesis, completed for Pratt Institute’s MFA Communications Design program. The thesis advocates an approach to social design in which design acts as neither problem solving nor speculative critique, but as a catalyst that shifts perceptions and propels itsaudience to action.The written thesis and corresponding body of work were represented in both a designed book and a gallery exhibition. This thesis book reflects the central component of disrupting perception and acknowledging multiple ways of experiencing the same reality by reading in multiple directions. There’s no clearly “correct” direction that the reader should follow.

Coffee with the Savior is about relationship. Women long for the fulfillment of relationship with their Savior. This study helps show the way using the example of Moses'' relationship to the Lord God.
