We leverage the HiDROplatform to identify and explore a noncanonical role of GSK3A, offering insights into chromatin dynamics and potential therapeutic strategies for cohesin-related disordersAbout Dr. Joyce:Eric Joyce, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Genetics and core member of the Epigenetics Institute at the Universityof Pennsylvania. Dr. Joyce conducted his postdoctoral training with Dr. Ting Wu at Harvard Medical School, where heco-developed a novel type of FISH probe called Oligopaints. Dr. Joyce's lab continues to develop and utilize newtechnologies to interrogate chromosome structure at single-cell resolution. His lab aims to understand how thestructure of chromosomes within the nucleus is established and inherited across cell divisions, and how dysfunctionalorganization contributes to genome instability and disease. Most recently, his lab developed HiDRO, an automatedimaging pipeline to identify novel proteins that regulate genome organization.Publications:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37438531/ (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37438531/)https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36449519/ (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36449519/)Joyce Lab (https://ericjoycelab.com/)

- 3:35 PM1h 10mOf Displacement and Resilience: The Emergence of Rohingya Rickshaw Art in BangladeshThe paper explores the emergence of rickshaw art and artisan practices by the Rohingya people in the refugee camp of Bangladesh. It also investigates how the encounter between Bangladeshi and Rohingya identities allows these refugees to seek resilience in the state of displacement through the reorientation of their Rohingya knowledge and skills. The mass exodus of the Rohingya people has resulted in an unprecedented reformulation of cultural identities. From the Rakhine state of Myanmar to Bangladesh, the displacement has often attracted a narrative of loss, never a story of creation. Despite the countless international efforts to preserve the cultural memory of the Rohingya community, the mushrooming of a diverse set of unrestricted and unregulated economic, mechanical, and cultural ventures through jugaad in the camps underscores their true resilience and willingness to sustain. As a case study, the paper examines the newly formed rickshaw art and artisan practice in the recently built, controversial Rohingya camp located in Bhasan Char, Bangladesh. I argue this practice is born out of the encounter between numerous Rohingya art and artisan practices and Bangladeshi rickshaw art, allowing the Rohingya people to incorporate their knowledge and skills in conjunction with what they have attained from the rickshaw art of Bangladesh. The paper analyzes a series of newly manufactured rickshaws in the camp and the aesthetics of their decorations to demonstrate how the foundation and fabric of these endeavors reflect not only the state of displacement but also the reformulation of belongingness. These rickshaws, with their colorful decorations, function like an archive in motion for this vulnerable community, where their stories will be written and rewritten indefinitely.

Yvette Young (https://thevillage.org/team_members/yvette-young-lpc/), LPC, Associate Vice President of Training and Advocacy at The Village joins Gupta on the panel as an expert in human trafficking and support for survivors. Elise Delacruz (https://womenscenter.uconn.edu/about-us/meet-the-staff/), Interim Director of UConn's Women's Center, will moderate. This panel extends from the aim of the Malka Penn Award for Human Rights in Children's Literature to shed light on pressing human rights issues in an accessible way for children and youth. About the Malka Penn Award The Malka Penn Award for Human Rights in Children's Literature (https://humanrights.uconn.edu/awards/malka-penn-award/) is given annually to the authors of an outstanding children's book addressing human rights issues or themes such as discrimination, equity, poverty, justice, war, peace, slavery or freedom. Named in honor of author Michele Palmer, who writes under the pseudonym Malka Penn, the award recognizes works of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir, or biography which are written for children from preschool to high school. Within these larger themes, the award committee is particularly eager to recognize stories about individuals – real or fictional, children or adults – who have been affected by social injustices, and who, by confronting them, have made a difference in their lives or the lives of others. The 2024 Malka Penn Award will be presented to the authors of the winning books by the Dodd Human Rights Impact Programs as part of this event. How to Join Us This event will take place in-person with an optional livestream (http://www.kaltura.com/tiny/uyrei) for those unable to join live. We encourage all those able to join us live in The Dodd Center for Human Rights to come in-person.
