Black Issues Conference
As research has struggled to identify and define the Black experience (Du Bois, 1903; Bell, 2002), Obidah (2003) suggests that one of the lasting theoretical frameworks that resonates for the social science community and for Black people themselves is Dubois’ (1903) notion of double consciousness. Dubois (1903) found that as African Americans, we live two lives – one that is full of pride for its African-ness and all that it encompasses; and a the second life in which we have to assimilate into the American (White) culture. Therein lies the struggle, where the African American is seeking to find a …

Vote Or Die: The Power Of The Black Vote, Stephen J. Smith, Harlin Miller
Black Issues Conference
The progress of Blacks in America can, in many ways, be attributed to the advancements made by gaining the right to participate in the political process. From establishing equal opportunities in housing to leveling the playing field in the workplace, the quality of life we as African-Americans enjoy today would not be possible if those before us did not fight for the right to vote. However, today’s Black America exhibits great apathy when it comes to voting on all levels. Most, when asked about their political views and/or affiliation, cannot clearly articulate the differences between Conservative and Liberal, Democrat or …

Black Issues Conference
Despite evidence that mental health problems (ranging from very mild to severe) affect all people, the rates of minorities engaged in personal psychotherapy have remained low throughout the past few decades. Historically, minorities have tended to devalue the importance of mental health, and stigmatize therapeutic interventions. This session will focus on why we need to shed the stigma surrounding mental health issues, and detail where we’ve been, where we are, and where we need to head in term of opening ourselves to self-exploration within the realm of psychotherapy. Also learn about how our physical health is intertwined with our mental …

Digitalcommons@Wsu: Visibility Of Your Scholarship Matters, Dave Stout
Open Access Week
Wayne State University Libraries is taking a leadership role in helping scholars at Wayne distribute their scholarship and creative works via the Digital Commons service. Why is this important to you? Because visibility of your academic output to other scholars and stakeholders, around the world, is important. Digital Commons helps to remove barriers (paywalls, access restrictions, etc...) to your scholarship that is a common aspect of traditional commercial publishing avenues, and increases the global reach of your scholarship. It's easy, effective, and it works!

Readers' Copyright, Jessica Litman
Readers' Copyright, Jessica Litman
Open Access Week
An open lecture on reclaiming copyright for readers, listeners, and viewers, given by University of Michigan Law professor Jessica Litman.
A system of copyright protection makes little sense unless it is designed to encourage the use and enjoyment of the works it induces authors to create and publishers to disseminate. Litman argues that a clear-eyed examination of copyright's history reveals that solicitude for readers and members of the audience is, in fact, deeply encoded in copyright's DNA. Recently, readers' interests have faded in apparent importance in the copyright scheme in ways that have unbalanced the copyright system, and undermined public …

Concurrent Session, Understanding The Transitional Needs Of Transfer Students: A Mixed Methods Study, Kelly Gray, Kait Nagi
New England Conference for Student Success
"Transition to college is challenging for many students. New Student Orientations, First-Year Seminars,
Living-Learning Communities and other initiatives are designed to support students during this time but
sometimes transfer students are left out of the process. This session will review findings from a recent
mixed-methods study designed to better understand how transfer students perceived their academic
transition into a new institution. Intended audience: those with a novice to intermediate understanding of
the transfer student experience. Takeaways: ideas and resources to create programming on other
campuses."
