The Time of Becoming Resilient? Rohingya Women of Bangladesh Camps in Between Hopes and Waiting
(Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group, 2022-06) Sengupta, Sucharita
This article probes an ethnographic account into the lives of Rohingya women in Bangladesh camps. The dispossession of the Rohingyas from Myanmar and their subsequent marginalisation and deracination is widely known across the globe in contemporary times. Their forced migration resulting from their lack of citizenship status or statelessness has led them to live in Cox‘s Bazar of Bangladesh in huge numbers, which I shall describe later. Any discussion on dispossession, refugeehood or statelessness necessitates us to study the borders and migration from a feminist perspective because women are most often the worst sufferers of any displacement, ethnic persecution, violence, conflict or war. Refugee women are also subjected to myriad gender-based violence like trafficking, rape and sexual abuses. The usage of the term 'gender' loosely refers to the social construct surrounding roles of men and women in society.

(2022) van Dreumel, Lynda
Envision YU Instructor Website:
Envision YU is a pedagogical approach supporting students to gain the skills necessary to successfully transition into and through their university studies, then out of university and into their careers or further studies when they graduate. This site hosts a collection of teaching resources and instructor supporting materials. It was designed to aid Course Directors in providing opportunities for students to develop personally and academically, all while enhancing student engagement with the instructor’s existing assessments and classroom activities. Many of these resources have been student tested for understanding, interactivity and functionality.
Envision YU Student Pressbook (ENGLISH):
Envision YU is a suite of open educational resources encompassing instructional materials, learning activities, worksheets and evaluation tools. The tools have been designed to support learners in developing their confidence and ability to successfully transition through and out of university. The resources focus specifically on four capacities that are important to student success, namely teamwork, reflection, self-regulation, and transfer. Under each capacity, instructors can find a range of resources that support learners across the stages of development from comprehending to developing, applying, and advancing each capacity. By stacking complementary resources in a single course, instructors can include opportunities for scaffolded learning and timely feedback.

COMS4208: Praba Pilar technotamaladas
(2024) Pilar, Praba; Buiani, Roberta
A lecture performance by Praba Pilar about her work connecting AI, Food, and the Americas tradition of making tamales as a cherished community activity. Pilar sees the connection between food and technology as a natural one. In fact, cultivating corn in the Americas has involved century old techniques to preserve its nutritional value that have guaranteed the survival of countless populations. In fact, Nixtamalization is a centuries old process in which maize is soaked then cooked with ash or lime high in alkali. It removes almost all fumonisins, resulting in tortillas and other maize based foods being substantially free of these mycotoxins. This event was part of the course COMS 4208 Dreaming of Electric Sheep: Emergent Practices in Communications 1.
