Methods: The project used a quality improvement design on the cardiac floor and cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) in a hospital in northwest Florida. Participants were registered nurses who were working on these floors. A survey was emailed to participants which gathered demographic data and also tested their knowledge of heart failure. Readmission rates for 2018 and 2019 were also obtained and analyzed. Results: It was found that there was not a statistically significant decrease in readmission rates between 2018 and 2019; however, the readmission rates were decreased. It was also found that nearly half of participants incorrectly answered questions about heart failure diet, fluid, and sodium intake. The majority of participants did answer that they provided heart failure discharge education with the hand-out supplementation toolkit every time. Discussion: Because of hurricane damage at the hospital during this survey period, there was only one functioning medical-surgical floor and one ICU. For the first aim, there was no significant decrease in the heart failure readmission rates between 2018 and 2019. For the second aim, more nurses than expected incorrectly answered pertinent questions about fluid and sodium intake for CHF patients. This indicates a lack of nursing confidence when educating patients at discharge and may be related to non-cardiac nurses working with cardiac patients. The expected outcome of the third aim was successfully met because most nurses used both verbal education and printed toolkit handouts during patient discharge education.Conclusions: This study suggested that heart failure education workshops for nurses are beneficial and should be further studied to determine if they help reduce heart failure readmission rates.Major Professor: Laurie Abbott, PhD, RN, PHNA-BC

Title: Loneliness is associated with risk of cognitive impairment in the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe.
Creator: Luchetti, Martina, Terracciano, Antonio, Aschwanden, Damaris, Lee, Ji Hyun, Yannick, Stephan, Sutin, Angelina
Abstract/Description: Objectives: To test whether loneliness is associated with risk of cognitive impairment up to 11 years later in a European sample of middle-aged and older adults. The study examines whether this association is independent of measures of social isolation, depression and other risk factors for cognitive impairment and dementia.Methods: Participants (N = 14,114) from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) answered a single item on loneliness at baseline and were assessed...
Show moreObjectives: To test whether loneliness is associated with risk of cognitive impairment up to 11 years later in a European sample of middle-aged and older adults. The study examines whether this association is independent of measures of social isolation, depression and other risk factors for cognitive impairment and dementia.Methods: Participants (N = 14,114) from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) answered a single item on loneliness at baseline and were assessed for cognitive impairment every two-to-three years for 11 years. Participants who scored at least 1.5 standard deviations below the age-graded mean on both a memory recall task and verbal fluency task were classified as impaired. A 3-item measure of loneliness was available for a sample of respondents followed up to 4 years.Results: Feeling lonely was associated with increased risk of incident cognitive impairment (HR = 1.31, 95%CI = 1.19-1.44), after accounting for age, sex, education, and SHARE country strata. The association was robust but reduced in magnitude when controlling for clinical and behavioral risk factors, health-related activity limitations, social isolation, social disengagement and depressive symptoms. The association was not moderated by socio-demographic factors and was also apparent when using the 3-item loneliness scale instead of the single-item measure.Conclusions: These findings expand the extant literature on loneliness and risk of cognitive impairment in older adulthood. Loneliness is one modifiable factor that can be intervened on prior to the development of severe impairment or dementia.

An in-home educational intervention was implemented among participants with CHF who had recently been discharged from the hospital. Data were collected at baseline and after the educational intervention at the posttest and 30-day follow-up points. The data were analyzed using the two-tailed T test. At the 30-day follow-up session, participants were also asked whether they had been readmitted to the hospital related to CHF. Results: There were statistically significant findings in participant knowledge from baseline to post-intervention (p < .001) and from baseline to the 30-day follow-up (p < .001). There were no significant (p = 0.171) score increases from posttest to the 30-day follow up period. Readmission rates were compared using the chi-square test, and the results showed no significant (p = 0.10) differences between groups.Discussion: The study findings indicated that the in-home educational intervention improved the participants’ knowledge concerning CHF, but it did not have an impact on the hospital readmission rates. The overall scores increased after the educational session at post-intervention, and the higher scores were sustained at the follow-up time point. Conclusions: The results of the study suggest that an in-home educational intervention can improve knowledge about disease management among people living with heart failure. Specifically, there were statistically significant differences in scores on the knowledge tests at the post-intervention and one-month follow-up time points compared with the baseline scores. These results are encouraging because they promote inter-disciplinary collaboration in efforts toward developing standardized educational interventions for people self-managing heart failure after hospital discharge.

Poslaiko, RN, BSNPurpose: Behavioral and psychosocial factors increase the risk of adverse health outcomes as emerging adults living with diabetes progress into independent life. This project examined psychosocial factors associated with young adult diabetics’ transition from family-centered pediatric care into adult healthcare services as a basis for recommendations to improve transition frameworks.Methods: A mixed methods design was used. A community-based sample of 85 young adults with diabetes, aged 18 to 30 years, was recruited through social media (College of Diabetes Network, Facebook: “Young Adults Living with Diabetes”). Diabetes-related distress, self-efficacy and empowerment in self-care behaviors were measured and correlated with last reported HgbA1C. Two open-ended questions identified unmet needs during the transition into adult healthcare. Results: Participants’ perceptions of self-efficacy and empowerment in relation to management of their diabetes were rated as high but diabetes-related burdens and challenges created a level of distress worthy of clinical attention. ‘Emotional burden’, ‘physician related stress’, ‘regimen related stress’ and ‘self-care’ demonstrated a strong relationship with HgbA1c. Unmet needs during the transition to adult healthcare were emotional support and validation, education and guidance, and healthcare provider sensitivity to developmental challenges specific to diabetes.Discussion: Participants viewed themselves as competent in managing their diabetes but indicated emotional distress commanded considerable mental and emotional energy to meet the demands of diabetes care. The relationship between diabetes related distress and HgbA1C was the most significant correlated psychosocial variable which was validated in the qualitative data regarding distress associated with unmet needs during the transitional period.Conclusion: The findings of this project highlight the need for emotionally supportive and developmentally sensitive healthcare with focused interventions to enhance self-care skills and self-efficacy of young adults transitioning from pediatric to adult health care.

Methodology This quality improvement project took place from October 2019 to January 2020. A CPR education course was provided to a convenience sample within Newberry. Three surveys (pre-, immediate post-, and three-months post-education) collected data on participant demographics, perceived barriers to CPR education, bystander CPR initiation, and bystander CPR performance. Results The initial survey revealed the greatest learning barrier of bystander CPR was lack of information, while the greatest bystander CPR performance barrier was lack of confidence. The two post-education survey results indicated the threat of contracting a disease was the greatest concern in performing bystander CPR. ConclusionResults from this intervention support the need for timely and consistent CPR training in remote, rural, areas of the United States. This quality improvement project identified and reduced perceived bystander CPR learning and performing barriers when comparing median scores before, immediately after, and three months after the CPR education intervention.

Show moreThe ability to discover cyberbullying "hotspots" on social media is vitally important for purposes of preventing victimization. This study attempts to develop a prediction model for identifying cyberbullying "hotspots" by analyzing the manifestation of charged language on Twitter. A total of 140,000 tweets were collected using a Twitter API during September 2019. The study reports that certain charged language in tweets can indicate a high potential for cyberbullying incidents. Cyberbullies tend to share negative emotion, demonstrate anger, and use abusive words to attack victims. The predictor variables related to "biology," "sexual," and "swear" can be further used to differentiate cyberbullies from non-cyberbullies. The study contributes to the detection of cyberbullying "hotspots," by providing an approach to identify a tendency for cyberbullying activity based on computational analysis of charged language. The contribution is significant for mediation agenciesdsuch as school counseling and law enforcement agencies. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Show morePurpose: This project evaluates the outcomes of colorectal surgical patients following the implementation of the ERAS program at a community hospital to determine the effects of adherence on LOS and opioid use. The investigator hopes to demonstrate a reduction in opioid use for acute surgical pain when utilizing the ERAS pathway. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on patients who underwent standard and enhanced recovery colorectal surgeries at a community hospital in 2018. Data on LOS and opioid use (MEQ/D), were extracted from a corporate and hospital database. Independent sample t-tests and descriptive statistics were used to examine correlations among the surgical pathways, LOS, and opioid use.Results: A total of 82 colorectal surgical patients were examined: 42 ERAS patients and 40 standard colorectal surgery patients. ERAS patients had a shorter LOS (M = 3.24 ± 1.45 vs M = 5.80 ± 3.09; p < .001) and utilized less MEQ/D (M = 7.62 ± 10.45 vs M = 41.25 ± 38.07; p < .001). Adherence with the pathway items was associated with shorter LOS; the impact on MEQ/D were mixed. Discussion: The impact of individual pathway items on LOS and opioid use requires further investigation. Surgical prescribing culture influences the use of opioids for pain management. A reduction of opioid use should translate to fewer opioid prescriptions at discharge. Conclusion: The ERAS pathway reduces LOS and MEQ/D compared with the standard surgical pathway. Compliance with the ERAS pathway items were correlated with shorter LOS, however the impact of compliance on MEQ/D was mixed. Preoperative carbohydrate drink administration and postoperative ambulation are areas of improvement opportunity. More research is needed to determine whether opioid use decreases upon discharge and which pathway items most significantly impact outcomes.

Show moreThe effectiveness of undergraduate career courses has been demonstrated for a variety of variables, such as career certainty, career maturity, career decision-making skills, and reducing dysfunctional career thoughts. While such studies used the career course as an intervention, most failed to include a comparison course and were not grounded in career theory. Therefore, 152 undergraduate students enrolled in four sections of a career development course and 47 students enrolled in three sections of an undergraduate human relations course completed pre and post tests on career-related constructs. Results indicated that the career course yielded significant improvements in career development variables, such as career decision state, cognitive information processing skills, career decision-making stage, knowledge of next steps, and anxiety about current career concern, but the human relations course did not. The CIP-based career course is supported as a valid career intervention, and individuals may benefit from targeted interventions depending on their stage in the CASVE Cycle. Future research might compare different career-theory based or a-theoretical career courses on career development outcomes.

Show moreMany protein architectures exhibit evidence of internal rotational symmetry postulated to be the result of gene duplication/fusion events involving a primordial polypeptide motif. A common feature of such structures is a domain-swapped arrangement at the interface of the N- and C-termini motifs and postulated to provide cooperative interactions that promote folding and stability. De novo designed symmetric protein architectures have demonstrated an ability to accommodate circular permutation of the N- and C-termini in the overall architecture; however, the folding requirement of the primordial motif are poorly understood, and tolerance to circular permutation is essentially unknown. The β-trefoil protein fold is a threefold symmetric architecture where the repeating ~42-mer “trefoil-fold” motif assembles via a domain-swapped arrangement. The trefoil-fold structure in isolation exposes considerable hydrophobic area that is otherwise buried in the intact β-trefoil trimeric assembly. The trefoil-fold sequence is not predicted to adopt the trefoil-fold architecture in ab initio folding studies; rather, the predicted fold is closely related to a compact “blade” motif from the β-propeller architecture. Expression of a trefoil-fold sequence and circular permutants shows that only the wild-type N-terminal motif definition yields an intact β-trefoil trimeric assembly, while permutants yield monomers. The results elucidate the folding requirements of the primordial trefoil-fold motif, and also suggest that this motif may sample a compact conformation that limits hydrophobic residue exposure, contains key trefoil-fold structural features, but is more structurally homologous to a β-propeller blade motif.

Show morePurpose: The purpose of this study was to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program designed to help reduce burnout among critical care nurses. Methods: The use of pre-intervention surveys, an educational toolkit, and post-intervention surveys were used to collect data for this study. The pre-survey included demographic information, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Areas of Work-life survey (AWS). The MBI was used to identify burnout presence and severity among participants before and after the intervention. The AWS survey was utilized to search for a correlation between burnout and six key areas of the workplace (workload, control, reward, community, fairness and values). The educational tool created by the PI and a licensed mental health counselor was designed to teach nurses about burnout and provide effective coping mechanisms to help reduce or prevent burnout. Data was analyzed using SPS 25.0 to calculate descriptive statistics, a Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and a Pearson Correlation coefficient. Results: A total of 42 registered nurses in the ICU at Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center participated in this study, with 34 nurses completing the post-intervention survey. Sixty-nine percent of participants (n=29) were experiencing burnout; 48.3 percent (n=14) of those were experiencing mild burnout, 34.5 percent (n=10) had moderate burnout, and 17.2 percent (n=5) were suffering from severe burnout. There was not a significant change in scores for Emotional Exhaustion (EE) (p=0.11), Depersonalization (DP) (p-0.695), or Personal Accomplishment (PA) (p=0.120) following the educational workshop. There was no decrease in the prevalence of burnout following the intervention but there was a reduction in burnout severity among some of the nurses (32%, n=8). The Pearson Correlation Coefficient analysis showed a significant inverse relationship between workload and emotional exhaustion (r= -.328, p < 0.05); values and emotional exhaustion (r= -.367, p < 0.05); and between values and depersonalization (r= -.353, p < 0.05).Discussion: The majority of nurses that participated in this study had burnout, which is consistent with the literature review with critical care nurses. The educational tool did not decrease prevalence of burnout among participants but was successful in reducing severity of burnout among some nurses. Finding ways to help reduce the workload and improve the organizations values would also help to reduce burnout. Conclusion: Burnout remains highly prevalent among critical care nurses. It’s imperative that more research be done to find effective solutions for reducing and preventing BOS. Educating and reinforcing effective coping strategies coupled with improving certain workplace factors would likely be an effective solution.

The structure of the project is a pre and post questionnaire with an educational intervention to identify gaps in the knowledge of compassion fatigue and treatment. Convenience sampling was utilized with a sample size of 40 participants.Results: Repeated-measures t-tests were used for each of the three primary analyses. There was a significant increase in recognition of compassion fatigue over time, t(39) = -2.47, p = 0.018, and there was a statistically significant decrease in burnout from pre-intervention to post-intervention, t(29) = 2.09, p = 0.023. There was not a significant change in STS across time, t(29) = 1.22, p = 0.23. As for demographics and compassion fatigue, there was a significant correlation between years of practice and compassion fatigue post educational intervention, r=0.32, p=0.048. It was found that there was not a significant correlation between other demographics, such as age and gender, and compassion fatigue.Discussion: The implications from this study reiterate the importance of educating healthcare providers about compassion fatigue and ways to deal with the phenomenon. Research has proven that with yearly education on compassion fatigue, the incidence and severity of compassion fatigue decreases. Conclusion: This research study provides insight into the detrimental effects of compassion fatigue on healthcare providers. Through education and awareness of compassion fatigue, there is a potential to reduce the negative outcomes that may affect healthcare providers.

Based on focus groups and individual interviews with administrators, faculty, and staff (659 participants) from 21 state colleges, we found a continuum of three data cultures ranging from democratic data cultures to blended data cultures to “need to know” data cultures. We triangulate these results with survey data from FCS institutional leaders and find considerable variation in the extent of data sharing and perceptions of effectiveness of institutional data use. Institutions with democratic data cultures tended to have distributed leadership that encouraged information sharing and collaboration among staff to use data to inform change. Need-to-know institutions faced challenges, including weak data quality, concerns about adequate time and resources among staff for reviewing data, and perceptions that staff lack data literacy skills.

A significant Tier 1 quadratic effect for time [pre-test, post-test (immediate), post-test (delayed)] was found (p = 0.029) as well. At the Tier 2 level, pre-post comparisons indicated no statistically significant group improvement. Pre-post comparisons at the individual level found that about 39% of the children had statistically significant improvement in social skills, with 9% indicating a decrease in problem behaviors.

Show moreDepression is a common and devastating instance of ill-being which deserves an account. Moreover, the ill-being of depression is impacted by digital technology: some uses of digital technology increase such ill-being while other uses of digital technology increase well-being. So a good account of ill-being would explicate the antecedents of depressive symptoms and their relief, digitally and otherwise. This paper borrows a causal network account of well-being and applies it to ill-being, particularly depression. Causal networks are found to provide a principled, coherent, intuitively plausible, and empirically adequate account of cases of depression in everyday and digital contexts. Causal network accounts of illbeing also offer philosophical, scientific, and practical utility. Insofar as other accounts of ill-being cannot offer these advantages, we should prefer causal network accounts of ill-being.

Title: An Exploration of Actionable Insights Regarding College Students with Autism: A Review of the Literature.
Creator: Cox, Bradley E., Nachman, Brett Ranon, Thompson, Kerry, Dawson, Steven, Edelstein, Jeffrey A., Breeden, Chase
Abstract/Description: A large and growing population of students with autism is increasingly pursuing higher education. Yet, the field has a remarkably small literature base from which to glean actionable insights that might enhance postsecondary success for this population. Our examination of 13,000 items published in sixteen journals over a sixteen-year period revealed only 21 articles on the topic; none were published in mainstream higher education journals.

Show moreA large and growing population of students with autism is increasingly pursuing higher education. Yet, the field has a remarkably small literature base from which to glean actionable insights that might enhance postsecondary success for this population. Our examination of 13,000 items published in sixteen journals over a sixteen-year period revealed only 21 articles on the topic; none were published in mainstream higher education journals. Our explication of this literature maps the contours of the emerging body of literature on college students with autism, uncovers problematic patterns within that literature, identifies important questions that remain unanswered, and provides explicit guidance for future research on the topic.

Although the findings reported in the present report do not meet the standard cutoff for statistical significance (e.g., 95% confidence), effect-size estimates for student achievement in the first year of implementation were positive for the tests that focused on problem solving, applications of mathematics, and algebraic thinking, and they were negative for the computation-focused tests. Those effects varied by grade level. Implications and suggestions for next steps are discussed.

Title: Role of Olfaction for Eating Behavior.
Creator: Fadool, Debra Ann, Kolling, Louis John
Abstract/Description: Our olfactory system not only detects chemicals in the external environment but also subserves to detect the chemicals in our internal environment - the chemistry of energy homeostasis and metabolism. Olfaction guides our eating behavior using an array of neuroendocrine molecules that are detected across the main olfactory epithelium, the olfactory bulb, and higher cortical regions. Both metabolic state (fasting, satiation) and metabolic balance (obesity, metabolic disease) can affect...

Olfaction guides our eating behavior using an array of neuroendocrine molecules that are detected across the main olfactory epithelium, the olfactory bulb, and higher cortical regions. Both metabolic state (fasting, satiation) and metabolic balance (obesity, metabolic disease) can affect olfactory-regulated eating behaviors. This review will delve into the physiological and behavioral link between olfaction, metabolism, eating, and health.

Independent researchers evaluated the program at both a school-wide level (Tier 1) and at a referred-group level (Tier 2). The sample included third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students in a Title 1 public school with a 100% African-American population. At the Tier 1 level, pre-post (immediate) comparisons on a social skills rating scale indicated statistically significant differences by group at the α = .10 level (p = 0.058). A significant Tier 1 quadratic effect for time [pre-test, post-test (immediate), post-test (delayed)] was found (p = 0.029) as well. At the Tier 2 level, pre-post comparisons indicated no statistically significant group improvement. Pre-post comparisons at the individual level found that about 39% of the children had statistically significant improvement in social skills, with 9% indicating a decrease in problem behaviors.

Since that time, hundreds of scholarly works in the form of conceptual and empirical articles, book chapters, and so forth, have been written on the key elements of CIP theory. In fact, Brown (2015) stated that “probably the most widely studied career interventions have been those devel-oped” from CIP theory (p. 62). CIP has been well-cited since its development, with 188 peer-reviewed articles and 350-plus total scholarly works (Sampson, Reardon, Peterson, & Lenz, 2019). The majority of these scholarly works are from the United States; however, several are from international contributors. In addition, the Center for the Study of Technology in Counsel-ling and Development (https://career.fsu.edu/tech-center/about-us), which focuses on exploring and building upon CIP theory and practice, has hosted 47 international visitors with interest in research and application of CIP theory. These contacts have shared via scholarly work as well as anecdotally about the impact of applying CIP in their settings.

Show moreTracking students’ learning states to provide tailored learner support is a critical element of an adaptive learning system. This study explores how an automatic assessment is capable of tracking learners’ cognitive and emotional states during virtual reality (VR)-based representational-flexibility training. This VR-based training program aims to promote the flexibility of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in interpreting, selecting, and creating multimodal representations during STEM-related design problem-solving. For the automatic assessment, we used both natural language processing (NLP) and machine-learning techniques to develop a multi-label classification model. We then trained the model with the data from a total of audio- and video-recorded 66 training sessions of four adolescents with ASD. To validate the model, we implemented both k-fold cross-validations and the manual evaluations by expert reviewers. The study finding suggests the feasibility of implementing the NLP and machine-learning driven automatic assessment to track and assess the cognitive and emotional states of individuals with ASD during VR-based flexibility training. The study finding also denotes the importance and viability of providing adaptive supports to maintain learners’ cognitive and affective engagement in a highly interactive digital learning environment.

Our numerical and experimental results showed that optimized PMO coil design offered us a device that enabled the operator to examine and operate the melt more convenient without losing the efficiency and decreasing refinement effect. Our work also showed the distance between the coil and the melt surface had little effect on the grain sizes refined. Therefore, in ingot production, the dropping of melt surface is not a problem for PMO application.

Show moreIn the preface to Les Belles lettres (1961), Charlotte Delbo argues that l’art épistolaire reclaims significance through contemporary political events. Letterwriting becomes a mode of indignation previously expressed through political parties, protests, and collective action at the turn of the twentieth century. In Les Belles lettres, Delbo curates a selection of letters featuring testimony about the Algerian War, selected primarily from Le Monde, but also from political journals such as Les Temps modernes and Vérité-Liberté. Interspersing biting commentary, Delbo condemns French imperialism in Algeria and critiques comparisons to the Holocaust, Vichy France, and Nazi Germany. She democratizes the epistolary genre to amplify voices and testimonies that are often silenced or censored because of race, gender identity, political affiliation, religion, and socio-economic status. Delbo’s subversion of belles lettres is an act of civil disobedience. Letter-writing disrupts the political discourse by channeling le bruit des femmes.

Show moreComing from distinct cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, Algerian painter Baya Mahieddine (born Fatma Haddad, commonly known as Baya) and Moroccan photographer Lalla Essaydi predominantly feature women in their artwork through their female gaze. Despite Baya’s reticence to discuss her colorful and unique depiction of women, animals, and vegetation, her mesmerizing gouaches have inspired abundant commentary by poets, writers, curators, and artists. Through her accomplishments and artwork, she moreover instills “hope” among her fellow female compatriots in their “combat de femme” as they contend with gender-specific quotidian struggles (Khanna 210; Djebar 18). In contrast to Baya’s reserve, Essaydi deluges her public with words, whether through her photo/calli-graphic texts or artist statements and interviews in which she informs her audiences about the content of her work. By inscribing (un)veiled women’s bodies with Arabic calligraphy, she produces provocative photographs that incite an introspective critique of the Western gaze while simultaneously sensitizing her Arab publics to reactionary compulsions that dictate the (in)visibility of women. The objective of this article is therefore to examine how their art corrects Orientalist misinterpretations and questions gender-bound Arab traditions. From post-colonial and feminist angles, I argue that both women usetheir female gaze to create artwork that serves to reimag(in)e girlhoods of Maghrebi women.

Show moreIn her work Framing Silence (1997), Myriam J. A. Chancy posits that Haitian women writers redefine the status quo rather than depend on a unified understanding of Haitian culture to write their narratives. According to Chancy Haitian women writers offer a feminized version of Haitian History where fiction serves as a conduit for historical discourse that either silences women or refuses to tell their story. Drawing from Chancy’s study of authors who create a space for female voice within a Haitian history that has denied female expression, this paper considers the telling of history in the novels of two contemporary Haitian women writers. In Le Livre d’Emma (2001) and Bain de Lune (2014), Marie-Célie Agnantand Yanick Lahens employ an intermediary in the narrative to uncover the silenced voice of a female protagonist. In Le Livre d’Emma, the eponymous character has been silenced by a paternalistic society that ignores women that speak too loudly and too often. Diagnosed as mentally unsound, Emma relies on Flore, a translator, to tell her story and transmit the historical narrative she has uncovered. In Bain de Lune, a spectral first-person narrator is used to speak for a young woman whose body is found washed ashore. Through a close reading and comparison of these two novels, this paper uncovers the specific narrative devices used by Agnant and Lahens to bring to light feminine voices from the past and considers what these approaches suggest about Haitian women and their relationship to the past.

When the organization was created in 1978, its founding mothers stated that its goals included “promot[ing] women’s growth and impact within higher education settings by welcoming women’s leadership in departments, divisions, and the university hierarchy.” In 2018, exactly forty years after its creation, Women in French reached a new milestone: that goal had been achieved to the point where women leaders who had been integrated in the higher education administration hierarchy realized they actively wanted and needed to encourage more women to enter by hosting a roundtable about the importance of female voices in higher education administration, a topic that aligned perfectly with the conference theme of “Le bruit des femmes” (Women’s Voices). The roundtable aimed to demonstrate how women administrators find and use their voices while simultaneously underlining the importance of recruiting more women into higher education administration. The session was well attended, a lively discussion followed the panelists’ presentations, and audience members, some of whom were seasoned administrators while others were relatively new to higher education administration or were merely considering entering it indicated they found it a useful contribution to their professional development.

Abstract/Description: In “‘Ma voix se dégagea’: Music, Risk, and the Heroine’s Voice in George Sand’s Malgrétout,” I argue that Sand’s 1870 novel Malgrétout offers a view of the complexity of Sand’s thinking about sound, whether in a child’s holistic and mythical understanding of nature and music, in an artist-hero’s exhausting performances of genius, or in the erosion of the restraint and pragmatism in the heroine’s musical production.

Returning through the novel, as a fulcrum on which the heroine, Sarah, balances her relationship with violin virtuoso, Abel, is the little children’s song Sarah invented, “La Demoiselle.” I propose that “La Demoiselle,” which begins as a musical exercise for a child, becomes for Sarah a means to measure Abel’s commitment to their relationship through his interpretation, arrangement, and dissemination of the little song. At stake in the returns and reiterations of Sarah’s song is a reconceptualization of the Romantic artist story through the heroine’s narrative of the discovery of the sound of her own voice and soul. Moreover, drawing from feminist care ethics, Sand studies, and sound studies, I propose that Sand’s narrative of vibrating instrumental chords, shivering bodies, and trembling voices, which explores the intersubjective and relational nature of sound, articulates a vision and ethics of people as fundamentally and vitally relational beings.

À partir d’une étude de l’intertextualité et des sources du poème, il propose d’identifier ces formes d’expression inarticulées à des bruits de souffrance. Les enjeux politiques de tels bruits sont abordés au moyen de références au travail de Nicole Loraux dans Les Mères en deuil. L’historienne montre que dans la Grèce antique la législation réglementait de manière précise l’expression de la souffrance féminine, et que cette réglementation visait à imposer à la fois la distinction et l’inégalité entre les genres. L’article a pour but de montrer qu’une telle aliénationdes femmes par leur assignation à un certain type de bruit est remise en cause dans « El Desdichado » dans la mesure où Nerval instaure un réseau de correspondances entre les genres qui les rend réversibles. Cette réversibilité trouve son prolongement dans l’intérêt de l’auteur pour l’androgynie, qu’il manifeste tout particulièrement dans la nouvelle Pandora. L’article envisage l’actrice héroïne de ce texte comme une incarnation du principe poétique d’alternance des genres construit par Nerval autour des soupirs de la sainte et des cris de la fée. Un tel regard sur « El Desdichado » et Pandora conduit à considérer ces deux textes comme étant investis d’un potentiel d’émancipation politique pour quiconque saurait y discerner la déstabilisation des genres qui y opère.

Ce pourrait être un fait divers presque ordinaire, si ce n’est qu’il s’agit d’un roman et que la voix maternelle et meurtrière se charge de faire entendre au lecteur l’inconcevable. Au fil des pages, la narratrice entrechoque, avec acharnement, les mots là où la société avait contraint cette mère célibataire au silence. Elle raconte minutieusement le détail de son échappée depuis ce jour où elle est partie, avec Stan et Kevin, pour découvrir ce bord de mer pluvieux qui donne son titre au bref roman de Véronique Olmi, paru en 2001. L’oralité du récit trahit progressivement la précarité et le désarroi maternels, mais aussi la maladresse et la fragilité d’une langue qui aisse entendre les prémices du drame : la mère, finalement, étouffe l’un après l’autre ses deux garçons, de tout le poids de son corps, comme elle avait, jusque-là, étouffé sa propre voix. L’analyse du fonctionnement et des modalités de la narration permet ici de définir le bruit d’une voix maternelle qui, bien que particulièrement puissante et dérangeante, n’en reste pas moins isolée dans la production romanesque française contemporaine. L’impensable et l’indicible sont à l’origine d’une langue unique dont il est nécessaire d’envisager les enjeux et les échos parmi le bruit des femmes aujourd’hui.

Show moreThe following article examines the role of sound and silence in the work of the Franco-Algerian author Maïssa Bey, Puisque mon coeur est mort (2010). The text takes the form of an epistolary novel written by a mother, Aïda, to her murdered son, Nadir. Despite the acutely personal histoire which acts as a catalyst for the act of writing, Bey’s protagonist endeavours to speak out for the maternally dispossessed in Algeria—and elsewhere—in order to give voice to a more public Histoire: the textual emphasis on the importance of audibly speaking to her son through her written letters encompasses a political objective of speaking out for all those who have lost a child in Algeria’s bloody décennie noire, leaving a compte rendu of a mother’s profound grief. That account is most vividly conveyed through the many sounds and noises which made up Aïda’s daily life with Nadir and to which she returns repeatedly throughout the work as a source of comfort and strength. She refuses to succumb to both sonic and writerly silence, but seeks to disturb the enforced silence imposed by the Algerian authorities following the execution of Nadir by ‘loudly’ bearing witness to private and political truths. This article argues that the much-quoted adage ‘Speech is silver, but silence is golden’ is both meaningless and politically noxious for those women for whom freedom of expression is denied.

The explicit comparison of the ethnographer to a parasite evokes the seminal work by philosopher Michel Serres, Le Parasite (1980), in which he proposes the parasite as a figurative model for social relations. Drawing from the polysemy of the word parasite in French, Serres seeks to demonstrate the intrinsic relation between the three meanings of the word and the ways in which they execute similar functions in a system. These three figures find direct parallels in two of Chamoiseau’s novels, Solibo Magnifique and Texaco (1992), through the constellation of the female body, the ethnographer, and the tape recorder. Since both novels are ostensibly based on the narrator’s recordings, this article thus proposes to use Serres’ theorization of the parasite to posit the tape recorder as a site of renegotiation between oraliture and gender. Through a comparison of the male Maître de paroles, Solibo, and the female conteuse, Marie-Sophie, we may tease out the ways in which sound recording imposes new paradigms of reproductive fidelity onto oraliture, what I term “parasitic reproduction.”

Show moreInspired by the phenomenon of “child witches” in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Léonora Miano’s second novel, Contours du jour qui vient (2006), reveals the psychological and physical violence children accused of witchcraft experience and its detrimental consequences. This article examines the manner in which Musango, the protagonist of the novel, reconstitutes her fragmented sense of self and reestablishes relationships with others after surviving her mother’s violence and her banishment from home. After analyzing the extent of the damages Musango sustained within her own home and community, especially her trauma-induced mutism, I examine how an already fragile Musango witnesses the silencing of women in a human trafficking camp and in a community revivalist church. I show how this silencing engenders a resistance within Musango and sparks a desire to use her voice. Lastly, I study how this resistance is further cemented and refined by the women she meets in the second half of the novel. These women guide Musango in her transformation from a mute traumatized self to a self-assured vocal individual. Furthermore, these women show her the ability of women’s voices to not only transmit knowledge and values but to also change the community for the better. Ultimately, I demonstrate how Musango is able to affirm her self-worth, reconstruct her fragmented sense of self, establish a connection with others and become a guiding voice through her interactions with the women she meets in her journey to recovery.

Title: The Screaming Mother and Silent Subaltern in Ousmane Sembene’s La Noire de….

Show moreOusmane Sembene’s 1966 La Noire de…, the first full-length feature film by an African director, follows a young Senegalese woman who works for a French couple as a maid. With the exception of answering “Oui, Madame” or “Oui, Monsieur,” Diouana, the protagonist, does not speak in the space of the couple’s home; however, throughout the film, the voice-over discloses her inner monologue. Unable to express her outrage through language, she commits suicide to silence her female boss. Recent scholarship on this film qualifies the couple as her oppressors without exploring their vastly different interactions with her. In this essay, I show how the relationship between the three protagonists’ speech and silence reveals gendered differences in neocolonialist motivations. In contrast to the husband, neither Diouana nor the wife achieve recognition of their speech acts. Characterized by their silence and screaming, these two women lack the acknowledged authority necessary to enact performative utterances. I argue that the wife oscillates between the roles of the civilizing missionary and the slave master in a futile attempt to gain acknowledgment for her speech. This essay shows how the film’s juxtaposition of a white European woman screaming to be superior and a black African woman making her silence heard through suicide underscores the complexity of gendered relations between neocolonialists and women from formerly colonized countries. In a film critiquing the desires of all its characters, Sembene points to the limits of screams, silence, and the overvaluation of male voices in bringing about change for post-colonial institutions and relationships.

Show moreHistorian, translator, publisher, novelist, and journalist, polemicist and political activist during the French Revolution, Louise de Keralio (1756–1822) challenged prevailing gender roles by her ambitious incursion into areas considered the sole province of men. Yet, in apparent contradiction with her bold actions, authoritative voice and ambitious writing projects, she also reiterated gender stereotypes and made antifeminist remarks, much to the perplexity of recent critics such as Annie Geffroy (“Louise de Kéralio-Robert, pionnière du républicanisme sexiste”). I argue that this contrast between her “masculine” endeavors and authoritative voice, on the one hand, and her espousal of normative femininity, on the other, may best be understood by analyzing the discursive strategies she adopts to express her gender-nonconforming ambitions. From her earliest writings, a fundamental dilemma pits her female body, her “corps petit,” viewed in Rousseauian terms as consigned to modesty and domesticity, against her “âme grande” with its ambitious longing to do something for the benefit of society as a whole, to publish and enact her equally Rousseauian progressive ideas. They reveal that, for Keralio, writing is enabled by the repetition of restrictive gender norms, even as it is undercut by them. Her attempt to substitute for this binary thinking of gender in terms of either/or a utopian logic of both/and ultimately results in the silencing of her female-gendered, yet powerful, male-coded political voice during the evolution. Even so, her ideal of both/and endures.

Title: Voicing Herstory: Women Making History in Villedieu’s Les Désordres de l’amour (1675).

Show moreAt the peak of his reign, Louis XIV commissioned several of the best writers of the time to chronicle the story of his reign. Much like in previous historical narratives, female characters were rarely featured and often silenced. However, as twentieth-century feminist criticism has shown, women writers like Mme de Villedieu actively combatted and upended these dynamics of power by rewriting women’s role in historical events in their historical novellas. In Les Désordres de l’amour, Villedieu gives back their rightful place to sixteenth-century female characters and also gives them voices. In doing so, she not only reverses the overwhelming silencing of women in historical narratives but also asserts the power of the female voice, traditionally dismissed as babil, caquet, and rumeur. In what follows, I will show that in focusing on the material noise produced by female speech, in giving her female characters voices, tones, and individual textures, Villedieu writes a her-story that is “not one story” (Elam 37), but rather a space where “several histories (are) underway” at once (Cixous 160). I will first lay out the originality of Villedieu’s own voice. Then, using the first novella of Les Désordres de l’amour as a case study, I will focus on the character of Mme de Sauve, and examine how the paraverbal nuances rendered by Villedieu, by making her unique, also contribute to her success at court. Finally, I will focus on the choral role of the thunderstorm, a metaphor for a female alliance in the text, as a noisy locus of female power.

It then turns to a character who does not roar, the daughter born to the young Romany mother, just before the mother’s death, who finds her voice as the novel progresses and will use it to speak truth to power. Finally, the conclusion presents the hypothesis that, implicit in the 1853 novel is a fourth roar, that of Sand herself, as she continues her writing career after the events of 1848 and, especially, after the coup d’état of December 1851.

Show moreLiterary tourism draws visitors to sites associated with writers or their works such as the recently restored natal home of Colette in rural Burgundy where she lived from 1873 to 1891. Purchased in 2011 and opened to the public in 2016, La maison de Colette is a writer’s house museum that incorporates the interpretive techniques of storytelling to communicate information and engage the emotions and imaginations of visitors as they literally walk in Colette’s footsteps. The director of the museum drew on Colette’s own stories about her childhood to recreate the house and gardens as she would have known them growing up, and to design a narrative for the guided tour that evokes the connection between Colette’s childhood and her genesis as a writer. Each tour is facilitated by a guide who uses storytelling to make Colette’s house come alive and “speak” to each visitor. To illustrate this aspect of storytelling, the author of this essay uses the example of three stories “told” to her during multiple visits to Colette’s house in 2017. The first uses the house to establish the outsider status of the Colette family in the village; the second relates the experience of Colette’s childhood bedroom to her close relationship with her mother; the third focuses on the garden wall featured in Colette’s story “Le curé sur le mur,” to illustrate how imaginative engagement with the enclosed garden provided insights into how Colette developed her sensibilities as a writer.

Show moreLa voix est indéniablement pour nos sensibilités modernes à la fois une expression intime de l’individu et une arme de séduction à la frontière du dedans et du dehors, de l’âme et du corps, de la parole et de la musique. Mais le Moyen Âge est-il sensible à ses charmes ? En évoque-t-il les sortilèges lorsqu’une femme parle (il ne sera pas ici question du chant, dont les séductions sont bien connues et documentées)? Une idée préconçue veut que la voix féminine soit inaudible dans les textes parce que l’on rêve la femme muette au Moyen Âge. C’est partiellementvrai. Cependant, aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles s’opère une réelle réhabilitation de la parole. Le roman courtois, parce qu’il est contemporain de ce mouvement de revalorisation, et parce qu’il met en scène de nombreux personnages féminins séduisants, sera mon domaine d’exploration : nous rend-il sensibles au doux bruit de la voix féminine? Je montrerai tout d’abord qu’alors même qu’il peut accorder une grande importance à la parole de ses héroïnes, il n’en fait pas beaucoup entendre le son, et j’explorerai ce paradoxe d’une parole sans bruit. J’essaierai parailleurs de montrer que c’est au moment où se construit une culture écrite vernaculaire et où la lecture silencieuse devient la norme que les voix féminines se font plus audibles dans les textes. C’est en effet dans leur rapport au livre que les femmes du roman courtois font le plus clairement résonner une voix séduisante, voire sensuelle et érotique.

Show moreMarie-Madeleine Jodin and Olympe de Gouges were among the women who believed that the new state created by the French Revolution would offer equality to men and women. Both of them published political pamphlets arguing in favor of their sex: Vues législatives pour les femmes by Jodin in 1790 and (among other writings) Déclaration des Droits de la Femme in 1791 by Gouges. Jodin’s pamphlet shows the extent of her culture: she quotes philosophers, uses examples from history, and offers some remarkable perspectives (on prostitution for instance). Gouges’ pamphlet, the most famous of all, is a clever pastiche of the 1789 Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme, and contains her thoughts on marriage,divorce, and illegitimate children. While neither one of them seems to have been truly active in women’s manifestations and clubs or developed contacts with the Assembly or other proto-feminists, both women participated in the Revolution and its events mainly through these writings. This paper explores Jodin’s and Gouges’ paradoxical participation (loud in print but silent in speech) and compares them to other female writers of the Revolution: was their participation atypical or did it represent the norm?

This article will examine two post-revolutionary salonnières who managed to create a space and a role for themselves within the new maledominated literary circles: Juliette Récamier, whose more conventional approach made only slight modifications to the earlier codes of mondain sociability, and Delphine de Girardin, whose more radical approach integrated the new Romantic codes of sociability and literary recitation. The social success of these two women required a strict attention to the codes of feminine speech and silence that complicated women’s participation as literary performers.

Show moreDriven out of France for her conversion to Protestantism, ridiculed by her contemporaries for her scathing criticisms of the Roman Catholic Church as well as the nascent reformed church in Geneva, Marie Dentière emerges as a controversial public female figure whose voice was considered clamorous and intolerable for sixteenth-century authorities immersed in an era fraught with religious upheaval. In her Epistre tres utile (1539) addressed to Marguerite de Navarre, Dentière sets forth a clear agenda: the justification and defense of the reformed faith by all people, and especially women. Not only does she overtly propagate the reformed faith, Dentière also argues that women have the right topreach and teach this faith to others. While Dentière’s Epistre serves as a typical example of epistolary rhetoric written as a means to garner Marguerite de Navarre’s support in the defense for the reformed faith in Geneva and France, I analyze Dentière’s stylistic choices that stage a sermon, albeit in the form of a letter. Moreover, the formal qualities of Dentière’s written text illustrate the notion of dilatio—an opening and abundance of discourse—that provides a gendered lens through which I approach the Epistre. Dentière’s Epistre enhances our current understanding of the prescheresse and its impact on female spiritual identity and community during the Reformation.

Afro-Creole women’s speech developed as a tradition within conditions of fugitivity (Derby 2014; Moten 2008). Fugitive speech here refers to speech and vocalized sounds, meant to be understood only by those in a position to know its meanings, under repressive conditions. Caribbean women use vocal expressions to constitute themselves into collectivities that sustain and support them. This essay firstconsiders the sphere of women’s gossip and its meta-linguistic sounds, and then the links between gossip and magic that reveal themselves in the ethos of fugitivity and silence in the magico-juridical secret societies in Haiti. Finally, we listen to the noisy, boisterous women’s songs in the public street bands called Raras. A final section considers the silences, sufferings, and punishments that men have visited on Creolophone women and the links between silence, para-linguistic sounds, and suffering. This essay builds on Sarah Mantilla Griffin’s work on Black women’s “sonic performatives” in American literature. Griffith argues that black women’s writings incorporate sound-based ways of knowing that have contributed to Afro-modernity, but have gone underappreciated (Griffin 2012, vi). I extend her insights to consider the Creolophone sounds, noises, and speech that Haitian women have created to sustain and express themselves and defy male repression.
