INTERSECTIONALITY: EXPERIENCES OF GENDER SOCIALIZATION AND RACIALIZATION FOR IRAQI STUDENTS RESETTLED IN THE UNITED STATES

Intersectionality: Experiences of Gender Socialization and Racialization for Iraqi Students Resettled in the United States

Individuals from conflict-affected countries, such as Iraq, face formidable challenges when they resettle in the United States.Drawing from intersectionality theory, we explore the lived experiences of adolescent boys and girls from Iraq who have resettled in Texas and Virginia.In this qualitative study, we focus on the school as an institution tha

Vortex formation and dynamics of defects in active nematic shells

We present a hydrodynamic model for a thin spherical shell of active nematic liquid crystal with an arbitrary configuration of defects.The active Micro Switches flows generated by defects in the director lead to the formation of stable vortices, analogous to those seen in confined systems in flat geometries, which generate effective dynamics for fo
