I worked three jobs to avoid student debt. Many students find themselves in a similar vulnerable spot, choosing to either face burnout now or later.

Three years ago, I graduated from my MFA program. I wanted to hit the ground running, so right from the start, I crafted myself a ritual: around the first of each month, I’d spend a morning scouring listservs and social media for writing opportunities. I tracked submissions calls, literary magazine

Have you listened to yourself recently?

For 25 years, I thought I was a great proponent of LGBTQ+ rights. I supported queer friends and acquaintances; I stayed up to date on terms and phrasing; I asked for gender pronouns; I went to Pride. So when I had my first same-sex crush, I thought my transition from ally to community member would

When a new faculty member is hired at a university, having trusted colleagues and faculty mentors who help navigate a path to growth, belonging, and success is essential.

Abstract – Introduction: Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) face barriers to moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) such as uncertainty with self-management, limited access to supportive environments, and stigma related to living with diabetes. Opportunities for peer activities with T1D role model support are limited. To address this need, we tested iterative refinements of pilot Virtual Exercise Games for Youth with T1D (ExerT1D) for feasibility and acceptability. Methods: The program included 6 versions: study 1 (1.1–1.4) included an active video game, and study 2 (2.1–2.2) included a virtual reality (VR) active video game. All versions included T1D exercise management education by clinicians and goal-setting guided by young adult coaches with T1D. Results: Seventeen adolescents (median age 15.4 [IQR 14.6–16.4] years, 7 non-Hispanic white, 8 male, median HbA1c 8.1% [IQR 7.4%–11.1%]) were enrolled. Participants rated the program, comfort, clinicians, coaches, and group cohesion high/very high. Motivation for the video game was high. Building T1D and MVPA self-management skills was rated excellent at most sessions, as were peer interactions and enriched communication after adding immersive VR in study 2. Transitions between VR apps caused delays of 19 ± 6 min per 60 min–90 min session. Compared to baseline, HbA1c or glucose management indicator decreased over time in an exploratory analysis (d = −1.12, 90% CI: [−1.78, −0.48]). Conclusions: In a small cohort, the ExerT1D program facilitated a supportive environment for engaging diverse youth with T1D in an MVPA program led by T1D coaches. Larger studies are needed to assess the intervention’s impact on engagement with physical activity, glycemic outcomes, and quality of life. © 2026 S. Karger AG, Basel

Individuals who face the daily impact of health inequities and their social drivers have knowledge and invaluable insights about solutions that are feasible at the local level. Community organizing is a dynamic and proven approach for building power among residents to identify community priorities, advocate for change, and co-create solutions to community issues, which has been applied to advance community priorities in the public health field. To build on evidence and further cultivate a pathway to strengthen community power and capacity within a public health framework, the Community Alliance for Research and Engagement (CARE), a health equity-focused partnership among Southern Connecticut State University, Yale School of Public Health, and the New Haven community, developed and implemented a new initiative, the Community Health Leaders (CHL) Program. The CHL program provides a model for community-centered leadership development as a strategy for advancing health equity. By equipping residents with the skills and support needed to advocate for change, CHL contributes to strengthening community power. Ultimately, continued investment in programs like CHL has the potential to create responsive public health programs and policies, reduce health inequities, and improve health outcomes. © 2026 Society for Public Health Education

In response to a call for PBLL to address language learners’ 21st-century needs, the present chapter showcases two examples of technology-assisted PBLL (TAPBLL) carried out in 100- and 300-level Spanish courses at a regional public university in the eastern United States. The TAPBLL using Generative AI chatbots in the lower-division Spanish course exemplified how content could be foregrounded in foreign language (FL) courses that might otherwise tend to overemphasize grammar. The TAPBLL using collaborative online international learning as a virtual exchange project in an (or the) upper-division course exemplifies how content can be prioritized early and often through projects that address learners’ 21st-century needs. When woven throughout the FL curriculum, TAPBLL can successfully build learners’ bilingualism, digital literacies, and cultural competence while at the same time working to counteract decreasing FL enrollments and imprudent narratives concerning the inapplicability of FL instruction to learners’ future academic and career goals.

As Türkiye transitions from a sending to a receiving country for migrants, it faces new challenges and opportunities. The country has experienced a significant influx of migrants, notably Syrian refugees, which has strained its educational infrastructure while also presenting potential benefits. The current article examines the role of Türkiye’s linguistic landscape in integrating diverse migrant populations, considering its historical emphasis on a singular national identity. Türkiye’s evolving sociocultural context invites a reassessment of linguistic diversity policies, particularly for national minorities and immigrant communities. We propose a systematic bilingual education program to foster a bilingual future in Türkiye, advocating for educational policies that preserve minority languages and encourage linguistic pluralism in an increasingly interconnected global society. Türkiye göçmen gönderen bir ülkeden göçmen alan bir ülkeye dönüşürken yeni zorluklar ve fırsatlarla karşı karşıyadır. Ülke, özellikle Suriyeli mülteciler olmak üzere önemli bir göçmen akını yaşadı ve bu durum eğitim altyapısını zorlarken aynı zamanda potansiyel faydalar da sundu. Bu makale, Türkiye’nin dilsel manzarasının çeşitli göçmen nüfuslarını entegre etmedeki rolünü, tekil bir ulusal kimliğe olan tarihsel vurgusunu göz önünde bulundurarak incelemektedir. Türkiye’nin gelişen sosyokültürel bağlamı, özellikle ulusal azınlıklar ve göçmen topluluklar için dilsel çeşitlilik politikalarının yeniden değerlendirilmesini gerektirir. Bu makalede Türkiye’de çift dilli bir geleceği teşvik etmek için azınlık dillerini koruyan sistematik bir çift dilli eğitim programı öneriyoruz ve artan bir şekilde dilsel çoğulculuğu teşvik eden eğitim politikalarını savunuyoruz.

Abstract We study five pencils of projective quartic Delsarte K3 surfaces. Over finite fields, we give explicit formulas for the point counts of each family, written in terms of hypergeometric sums. Over the complex numbers, we match the periods of the corresponding family with hypergeometric differential operators and series. We also obtain a decomposition of the incomplete L -function of each pencil in terms of hypergeometric L -series and Dedekind zeta functions. This gives an explicit description of the hypergeometric motives geometrically realized by each pencil.

Annual celebration of the new year among Cham communities in Vietnam. This two-day experience happens during the first month of the year (according to the Cham calendar, the Sakawi), and incorporates a number of ritual practices and ceremonial events where religious dignitaries communicate between the spiritual realm and the broader community to expel bad and unlucky things, and ensure a positive, productive new year as the rainy season begins.

Imposter Phenomenon (IP) is a set of psychological experiences characterized by self-doubt, attributing success to external causes, and a constant fear of being perceived as a phony (Clance & Imes, 1978), which may be suggestive of dissatisfaction with basic psychological needs of competence, autonomy, and relatedness. Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) workers (N = 325, 61% men, 39% women) ranked their self-identified knowledge and abilities relative to others, completed the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) assessing IP, and the Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs (BMPN) assessing competence, autonomy, and relatedness. We hypothesized that IP and dissatisfaction in basic psychological needs would predict underestimation of knowledge and abilities relative to those of other people. However, we found imposter phenomenon and basic psychological needs predicted positive self-evaluations. Inflated self-evaluations may be strategically used to defend against IP feelings and against a sense of “ill-being” associated with thwarted psychological needs. Thus, a positive, confident presentation may be compensatory or defensive in nature. Future research could explore specific defense mechanisms that may mediate this positive self-evaluation of knowledge and ability relative to others as well as the role of styles of perfectionism.
