Protests by professional and amateur athletes against racial and gender discrimination are not new or isolated events in U.S. history. In fact, sports have long been connected to the social, economic, and political issues of the day. With a particular focus on labor and civil rights struggle, our goal is to better understand the history of sports as it relates to social class, race, and gender. Students will analyze current controversies through this critical approach to sports and society.

This course covers the principles of materials science and cell biology underlying the design of medical implants, artificial organs, and matrices for tissue engineering. Methods for biomaterials surface characterization and analysis of protein adsorption on biomaterials. Molecular and cellular interactions with biomaterials are analyzed in terms of unit cell processes, such as matrix synthesis, degradation, and contraction. Mechanisms underlying wound healing and tissue remodeling following implantation in various organs. Tissue and organ regeneration.

This course provides an introduction to laboratory techniques in biomedical engineering with an emphasis on cellular processes. Laboratory exercises will explore topics, such as cell culture technique, microscopy and molecular probes, quantification of cell proliferation and migration, and assessment of cellular differentiation in the context of the assigned projects. The student will learn proper handling of laboratory chemicals, operate common analytical instruments, describe the theory and applications of various analytical instruments, and practice laboratory safety.

?Nuestra Se?ora: Popular Marian devotion in Latin America?

If you visit Latin America - or even the home of a Latinx neighbor - chances are you will see at least one image of the Virgin Mary. Perhaps you have seen her image on a family altar for Day of the Dead, on a candle in the living room, on a tiny card tacked to a bulletin board, or adorning a throw pillow? Also known by Spanish speakers as la Virgencita and Nuestra Senora (Our Lady), Mary has manifested in a diversity of media reflecting the many different cultures devoted to her.
