D-CORE Racial Justice Library

Since 2017, the Diversity Center of Representation and Empowerment D-CORE has served as a physical space for underrepresented students to gather in companionship and comfort. The ADVANCE Summer Institute and Lane Library are pleased to announce a new Racial Justice Library installation, now available online or via curbside pickup (details below).

This new collection of 140 books, 64 of which have been made available online through Stanford Libraries, were purchased from Marcus Books in Oakland. This collection consists of both fiction and nonfiction works by and for Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color (BIPOC). We hope BIPOC members of our Stanford community will enjoy this collection, and we encourage allies to use this collection to further their antiracist education and familiarize themselves with the work of BIPOC authors.

You can find a comprehensive list of all the works in this collection with online access links here, and you can schedule a curbside pickup from Lane Library here. Additionally, you can find this list inventoried through the Lane Library website by searching “DCORE”, another route to digital access and curbside pickup. We are happy to take suggestions for additional books here
Please share this resource within your department, with current and prospective students. We look forward to creating space for folx to enjoy these books in the D-CORE once the pandemic is under control.

Stay tuned for a virtual opening event to celebrate this new collection in February 2021!

Classes

Humor: Serious Business, a Stanford GSB Course


Apply for Stanford GSB’s MKTG 346: Humor: Serious Business

2:50 - 5:50 pm or 6-9pm Tuesdays, April 6, 13, 20, 27, May 4, 11, 18, 25

Online until further notice
 

Application due Tuesday 2/23 @ 11:59pm 

 

YOU, oh fearless leader of the future (and maybe present) are very important.

You will go on to make critical and far-reaching economic, political, and social decisions in your quest to change lives, organizations, and the world. That’s serious stuff.

So, why humor? The late journalist Eric Sevareid said “Next to power without honor, the most dangerous thing in the world is power without humor.” Our goal is to pin you down and not let you leave Stanford without a healthy dose of humanity, humility, and intellectual perspective that only humor can bring.

This class is about the power (and importance) of humor to make and scale positive change in the world, and also – surprise! – to achieve business objectives, build more effective and innovative organizations, cultivate stronger bonds, and capture more lasting memories.  You’ll learn why humor is one of the greatest competitive advantages in business (and life), why it’s underutilized, and how YOU can use more of it, better.  More better.  Welcome to your (re)introduction to humor.

This Spring 2021, enroll in the 3-unit Stanford Graduate School of business course Humor: Serious Business 

Upcoming Events

Tea with Director Lianne Kurina
Winter Quarter: Save the Dates!


 Join HumBio Director Dr. Lianne Kurina for Tea on Thursdays of weeks 6 & 9, from 4-5 PT. The vision is "tea, chit chat, checking in, and hearing from you about what we in HumBio could be doing to support you all at this juncture."

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY: Butcher Lab

The Butcher lab in the Dept of Pathology and the VA Palo Alto has a number of projects for students interested in pursuing honors research in immunology and/or computational bioinformatics.  

  1. Mucosal immunology.  Study lymphocyte development and migration in humans and in mouse models of development, infection and inflammatory bowel diseases.  Learn flow cytometry, chemotaxis assays, and assays of immune function. 
  2. Aid in development of novel computational tools and algorithms for exploring genetic programs.   Probe genes that drive stem and progenitor cells to differentiate into effector or regulatory lymphocytes, or in the vascular system as they develop into lymphocyte- recruiting endothelial cells.  Learn revolutionary new techniques in single cell transcriptomics.   
  3. Tumor biology.  Help study how cancer reprograms the immune and vascular systems, and how novel immune therapies re-establish the anti-tumor response.

Contact ebutcher@stanford.edu and Lourdes Magalhaes <lourdesm@stanford.edu> with brief statement of interest.


 

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY: Outbreak Data Liaisons

We are eager to announce a new research opportunity in a collaborative project between CDPH, Dr. Joe Lewnard at UC Berkeley School of Public Health, and. Dr. John Openshaw at Stanford University/CDPH COVID-19 Clinical Team.

Hours will be scheduled flexibly throughout the week including daytime, evening, and weekend options. Those fluent in Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, or other languages are especially encouraged to apply.

We will hold weekly meetings with California Department of Public Health colleagues on Tuesday evenings, where we will also invite weekly guest lecturers to share their insights and professional experience working on the front lines of public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional sessions may cover topics of interest such as careers in public health and applying to public health graduate programs.

As this is a large undertaking, we are aiming to recruit interviewers who can make a roughly ~10h/week time commitment. We are enthusiastic to support students looking to receive independent study credit for participation in this research, if this can be allowed at their home institutions. If you are interested, fill out the form at this link: https://forms.gle/gz3FJk36CbDZ8nYz7

Past projects have included:

  • Meeting and working with members of Congress (MOCs) to help pass COVID-19 Relief bills that include substantial funds for contact tracing
  • Working with MOCs to jumpstart the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act of 2020
  • Partnering with other Stanford organizations to run birddogging and Letter to the Editor events
  • Educating ourselves and our communities about global health, health equity, voluntourism, the White Savior complex, and the work that Partners in Health does.

There are many opportunities to gain leadership experience, run individually designed projects, work with other schools, and make a difference in the fight for global health equity! You can learn more about Partners in Health Engage HERE and HERE!
