  Veiled Voices in Postrevolutionary Iranian Cinema, Women’s Vocal Presence and Rethinking Acousmatic Sound

  Raha Shojaei

  This book explores the concept of the veiled voice, which conceals the bodily aspects of the voice and suppresses its discursive power. Focusing on the veiling of women’s voices in New Iranian Cinema, it examines their relationship to authoritative voices, their limitations within cinematic space, and their detachment from the female body. The book argues that this detachment can function as a feminist strategy to bypass restrictions on women’s on-screen representation. It analyzes how female voices are marginalized structurally and narratively within patriarchal frameworks and investigates moments of unveiling, where the female voice becomes an object of aesthetic admiration and desire while navigating censorship.

  Scenic Design for "Georgiana & Kitty - Christmas at Pemberley"

  Andrea Bechert

  I was the Scenic Designer for the production of "Georgiana & Kitty – Christmas at Pemberley" produced by TheatreWorks, and performed at the Lucie Stern Theatre in Palo Alto, in December of 2025. As the Scenic Designer, I oversee the design and visual aspects in three departments and work directly with the people in those departments. These areas are Scenery (the architectural aspects of the setting), Scenic Art & Paints (the textures, painting, and finish of the scenery), and Properties (anything that you would move in or out of your house in a moving van, including all décor). I can provide both ¼”=1’-0” scale color models (there are two for this production), paint elevations, and drafting.

  Ink and Ink and Flesh and Length

  Anne F. Walker

  These 100-word prose poems are contained. They spread between sections. They break out of themselves. They repeat. They reflect on landscapes, bodies, travel, time, and rooted memories, concentrating on precision of image, narrative, and language. All different shapes, colors, and textures fly over and in the multiple same-sized square boxes of the prose poem form. This collection began on the train journey between the Bay Area and Toronto, and is supported by Walker's appreciation and integration of visual art techniques. It bursts with various narrative voices, synesthetic and surprising imagery, and a fluidity between seemingly historical events and dreamlike voyaging.

  Agrippina the Younger: Poems

  Diana Arterian

  A poetic journey through the past of the Roman Empress Agrippina looks toward the future. Agrippina the Younger follows one woman’s study of another, separated by thousands of miles and two millennia but bound by a shared sense of powerlessness. Agrippina was a daughter in a golden political family, destined for greatness—but she hungered for more power than women were allowed. Exhausted by the misogyny of the present, Diana Arterian reaches into the past to try to understand the patriarchal systems of today. In lyric verse and prose poems, she traces Agrippina’s rise, interrogating a life studded with intrigue, sex, murder, and manipulation. Arterian eagerly pursues Agrippina through texts, ruins, and films, exhuming the hidden details of the ancient noblewoman’s life. These poems consider the valences of patriarchy, power, and the archive to try to answer the question: How do we recover a woman erased by history?

  Addressing Racism and Ableism in the Classroom and Teacher Education Case Studies of Special Education Teachers of Color

  Saili Kulkarni

  Addressing Racism and Ableism in the Classroom and Teacher Education centers and elevates narratives of special education teachers of color, an overlooked and underserved population in public education, as a vehicle for analyzing the tensions of race and disability. Special education teachers of color, who work and may themselves live at the intersections of these complex identity constructs, are uniquely positioned to develop effective approaches to countering racism and ableism. This book offers five critical case studies of special education teachers of color, whose replicable practices span preschool through high school classrooms while also holding urgent implications for teacher education programs. Building toward an original framework that synthesizes DisCrit and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies, these narratives refuse deficit readings of disability among students of color and instead prepare teachers to model collective joy and pride in their identities.

  Divine Feminine Energies in Vedic Anthologies: A Scientific Inquiry Using AI and Large Language Models

  Chandrasekar Vuppalapati

  This groundbreaking book explores the sacred and often overlooked dimensions of feminine divinity in the Vedic tradition, weaving together ancient wisdom and modern technology to uncover the enduring power of the divine feminine. Rooted in the timeless legacy of the Vedas-the oldest surviving body of human memory and spiritual knowledge - this work illuminates the role of feminine energy in shaping not only Hindu theology but also global cultural and spiritual consciousness. With a focus on Vedic chanting, archelogy, history, architecture, symbolism, and inscriptional poetry, the book examines how the divine feminine has been expressed, preserved, and interpreted across centuries. Using tools such as Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models, and acoustic analytics, it offers a multidisciplinary lens into etymology, rhythm, iconography, and energy patterns of sacred texts. At its core, this book is a call to reclaim the sacred feminine as a vital force in personal empowerment and societal transformation-honoring women not just as equals, but as essential bearers of life, wisdom, and spiritual balance. A compelling blend of philosophy, technology, and cultural history, this work redefines the place of the divine feminine in both ancient traditions and contemporary discourse.
