Abstract:
The 18 th Annual Critical Geography Conference: Constructing a Radical Politics in an Age of Crisis took place in November 4–6, 2011, at Clark University, in Worcester Massachusetts. In this report the conference organizers summarize the results and offer some insights on the challenges and opportunities of mobilizing politically through the critical geography community. We argue that institutionalized actions within the academy, like this conference, are political events. We highlight the need for critical geographers to focus using the intellectual, financial, and institutional resources of the academy to facilitate activism and open new political spaces.

Abstract:
To begin, I wish to thank the Academy of Toxicological Sciences for bestowing this honor on me. I have had a rewarding career in basic research and clinical medicine, beginning with research in high school and always planning on becoming a physician. I have had the good fortune of having outstanding mentors, wonderful parents, and a supportive and intuitive wife and family. This article provides a brief overview of some of the events of my career and individuals who have played a major role, beginning with the M.D./Ph.D. program at the University of Wisconsin, pathology residency and faculty at St. Vincent Hospital, Worcester, Massachusetts, a year as visiting professor at Nagoya City University, and my career at the University of Nebraska Medical Center since 1981. This could not have happened without the strong input and support from these individuals, the numerous students, residents and fellows with whom I have learned so much, and the more than 500 terrific collaborators.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction In 2011, the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) published revised health supervision guidelines for children with Down syndrome (DS). In the absence of South African guidelines, we described the health supervision received by children with DS at a rural regional hospital in the Western Cape, South Africa compared with the AAP guidelines. Methods This was a 5-year retrospective description of the implementation of the 2011 AAP guidelines at the DS clinic at Worcester Provincial Hospital (WPH), specifically related to screening for and management of cardiac, thyroid, hearing and haematological disorders. Results Sixty-two children received care at WPH DS clinic during the study period. Thirty-six (58%) children lived in Worcester while 26 (42%) children were referred from peripheral hospitals. The median age at first clinic visit was 0.5 years [inter-quartile range (IQR) 0.2–1.2], a total of 177 person-years of follow-up with a median duration of 1.8 years (IQR 0.3–4.8). Two deaths occurred during the study period. Forty-nine (79%) children had a screening echocardiogram performed, the median age at first echocardiogram was 0.8 years (IQR 0.2–1.4). Five (14%) children from WPH compared with no children from the peripheral hospitals received the echocardiogram within the first month of life in keeping with AAP guidance (p = 0.06). Those requiring cardiac surgery were operated on at a median age of 2 years (IQR 0.9–2.3). Compared with the AAP guidelines, within the first month of life 17 (27%) children had a thyroid screen, 20 (32%) children had a full blood count and 7 (11%) children had a hearing assessment. Conclusion AAP guidelines for health supervision in DS are challenging to achieve within our local health system. The development and advocacy for a South African DS health supervision guideline that can be applied not only in specialist clinics might improve the care of children with DS.

Abstract:
Quentin Howieson Gibson was born in Aberdeen, obtained his MD (1944) and PhD (1946) from Queen's University in Belfast and subsequently took a faculty position at the University of Sheffield (1947), where he was appointed Professor of Biochemistry in 1957. In 1963 he moved to the USA, where he held a faculty position at the University of Pennsylvania before he became the Greater Philadelphia Professor in the Section of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Cornell University in 1966. After retiring from Cornell, he became a Distinguished Faculty Fellow at Rice University and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School at Worcester. While at Cornell, Quentin was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (1969), a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1970), and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, USA (1982), served as an associate editor of Journal of Biological Chemistry (1975–94) and received the Keilin Memorial Medallist Award and Lectureship (1990). Quentin's major scientific accomplishments include the discovery of the biochemical cause of familial methaemoglobinaemia, construction of the first practical stopped-flow rapid-mixing spectrometer, adaptation of flash photolysis methods to haem proteins, identification of the first semi-stable intermediates in the O 2 reactions of flavoenzymes, the first direct kinetic measurement of intermediates for the reaction of O 2 with cytochrome c oxidase, quantitative kinetic evaluations of cooperative O 2 binding to haemoglobins, determinations of how iron reactivity and ligand diffusion govern rates of ligand binding, and experimental mapping of the pathways for O 2 entry into the active sites of globins.

Abstract:
Following the implementation of online reading list software, Library Services at the University of Worcester (UW) encouraged academic staff to consider the reading list as a learning tool. Using an interactive teaching session timetabled as part of the Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education, lecturers are asked to consider how they can maximise the impact of their reading lists and increase library use. The pedagogy of reading lists and student engagement with reading are examined. Participants also discuss the type of content reading lists typically contain and question whether this accurately reflects what the students should be reading. It draws on best practice from academic colleagues at UW, examining (among other things) the effect of list length, structure and lecturer voice and presence.

Abstract:
At Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) a Global Perspective Program (GPP) has evolved that provides an international experience for most graduates. Currently more than half of WPI students travel internationally to do academic work. The GPP grew from the basic project-based educational structure implemented over 30 years ago. In this paper, we describe the structure and operation but will emphasize the multilevel assessment process used to understand student learning and improve the program. Although our specifics are related to technical education, our assessment design and implementation may be useful to a much wider audience.

Abstract:
Problem analysis conducted by a university-based research partner can provide communities with data-driven options to address the local drivers of serious youth and gang violence. Situated in Worcester, Massachusetts, this article describes how subsequent to early childhood trauma being identified as a potential driver of adolescent and young adult violence; problem analysis using local data confirmed that being the victim or witness of a traumatic incident before the age of 12 years was significantly correlated with involvement in violence in adolescence or young adulthood. Although there is a robust literature on the relationship between early childhood trauma and later delinquency, local decision makers did not consider this knowledge actionable until the research partner used the city’s own police records to demonstrate the extent of the problem in the city. Rigorous problem analysis, conducted collaboratively between practitioners and an academic research partner, helped to compel local change and ensured that strategies addressed the right risk factors and directed service to the appropriate target population.

Abstract:
Charles Bell spent his final days in the chair of surgery at the University of Edinburgh. He was not well off and was disappointed that his reputation did not bring more referrals and requests for consultation. Despite his good intentions, however, he could not get back fully into an academic way of life. He had lost his sense of urgency and purpose, and he preferred to spend much time fishing and painting. He developed angina pectoris and, on 29 April 1842, died suddenly of a heart attack in the arms of his wife at Hallow Park, near Worcester, while on his way to London. He died a poor man, having been more concerned with teaching, writing, and advancing knowledge than with the acquisition of wealth, and his wife was therefore granted a civil pension by a grateful government.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at Geoffrey Neate's present edition on the account of Elizabeth Sheppard of Oxford in January of 1737–8, written under the pen-name of ‘Shepilinda’. The main part of Shepilinda's manuscript is a tour of the Colleges made in the company of an older woman who is nicknamed ‘Scrippy’, and who is the dedicatee of the manuscript. The tour is largely arranged topographically, starting with Worcester in the west and ending with Magdalen in the east. There are then accounts of the academic halls, including the self-consciously bogus one of ‘Frog Hall’, which is actually Shepilinda's family home. This part of the manuscript ends with a description of the Bodleian Library, and the traditions associated with May Day and St. Scholastica's Day. The second, and shorter, part of her manuscript comprises some short poems.
