Video: No, You Can’t Touch My Hair: The Importance, Necessity, and Controversy of the CROWN Act
The Black Law Students Association welcomes you to our Fall 2020 panel event, which focuses on the 2019 CROWN Act. The CROWN Act, which stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,” is a law that prohibits race-based hair discrimination, which is the denial of employment and educational opportunities because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including braids, locs, twists or bantu knots.This panel focuses on the legal perspective from different vantage points. Attendees will learn more about the Act, how it was handled, and the current political climate surrounding the Act.

Young Muslim women's experiences of Islam and physical education in Greece and Britain: a comparative study
Previous research suggests that Muslim women can experience particular problems when taking physical education (PE) lessons, for example with dress codes, mixed-teaching and exercise during Ramadan; and they can face restrictions in extra-curricular activities for cultural and religious reasons. The area is under-researched and there is little evidence of comparative studies that explore similarities and differences in cross-national experiences, which is the aim of this paper. Two studies conducted in Greece and Britain that explored the views of Muslim women on school experiences of physical education are compared. Both studies focused on diaspora communities, Greek Turkish girls and British Asian women, living in predominantly non-Muslim countries. Growing concerns about global divisions between 'Muslims and the West' make this a particularly pertinent study. Qualitative data were collected by interviews with 24 Greek Muslim women, and 20 British Muslim women. \ud

Physical education has national curriculum status and a similar rationale in both countries but with different cultures of formality and tradition, which impacted on pupils' experiences. Data suggested that Greek and British groups held positive views towards physical education but were restricted on their participation in extra-curricular activities. For the British women religious identity and consciousness of Islamic requirements were more evident than for the Greek women. Differences in stages of acculturation, historical and socio-cultural contexts contributed to less problematic encounters with physical education for Greek Muslims who appeared more closely assimilated into the dominant culture
Pluto's global surface composition through pixel-by-pixel Hapke modeling of New Horizons Ralph/LEISA data
On July 14th 2015, NASA's New Horizons mission gave us an unprecedented
detailed view of the Pluto system. The complex compositional diversity of
Pluto's encounter hemisphere was revealed by the Ralph/LEISA infrared
spectrometer on board of New Horizons. We present compositional maps of Pluto
defining the spatial distribution of the abundance and textural properties of
the volatiles methane and nitrogen ices and non-volatiles water ice and tholin.
These results are obtained by applying a pixel-by-pixel Hapke radiative
transfer model to the LEISA scans. Our analysis focuses mainly on the large
scale latitudinal variations of methane and nitrogen ices and aims at setting
observational constraints to volatile transport models. Specifically, we find
three latitudinal bands: the first, enriched in methane, extends from the pole
to 55deg N, the second dominated by nitrogen, continues south to 35deg N, and
the third, composed again mainly of methane, reaches 20deg N. We demonstrate
that the distribution of volatiles across these surface units can be explained
by differences in insolation over the past few decades. The latitudinal pattern
is broken by Sputnik Planitia, a large reservoir of volatiles, with nitrogen
playing the most important role. The physical properties of methane and
nitrogen in this region are suggestive of the presence of a cold trap or
possible volatile stratification. Furthermore our modeling results point to a
possible sublimation transport of nitrogen from the northwest edge of Sputnik
Planitia toward the south.Comment: 43 pages, 7 figures; accepted for publication in Icaru
