Public Obsceneties
Sukanya Chakrabarti
When Choton returns to Kolkata on a research trip with his Black American boyfriend Raheem, his grandfather’s photograph stares down at him from the walls of his family home. Choton loves being the translator, toggling nimbly between Bangla and English, interviewing queer locals, showing Raheem his world. But through the lens of Choton’s grandfather’s old camera, Raheem begins to notice things Choton can’t. 'Public Obscenities' is a bilingual play about the things we see, the things we miss, and the things that turn us on.

Public Art as Resistance in San Jose
Katherine D. Harris, Kerri J. Malloy, and Alena Sauzade
Public Art as Resistance in San José, an ongoing project with a series of activities that investigates the history of resistance embedded in downtown San José public art. The research required to create a walking tour, panel of art experts, and community exhibit each act as sites of community dialogue and engagement that can afford agency through art. The primary resulting activity, a guided walking tour, begins on the urban campus of San José State University and continues through downtown San José, highlighting a history of resistance and community empowerment through twelve unique works of public art. While the art works that make up this tour are among the many murals, monuments, sculptures and ephemeral pieces of pieces of public art in this area and in the city at large, this particular walking tour takes a singular approach by considering how San José’s communities actively challenge narrow and exclusionary interpretations of local history through public art creation. The digital footprint for this project as a static website and a self-guided tour using a free mobile app, will be amplified with proposed funding requests to the National Endowment for the Humanities to create an augmented reality version in a unique mobile app that will create a sustainable digital representation of this tour and all of its collaborative partnerships. We continue to add works of art (and unfortunately retire some due to demolition of murals on buildings) with each successful funding. The activities inherent to building this project may become one of the future HonorsX courses and continue the tradition of our SJSU students becoming tour guides and experts about the social justice of public art.

Plastic Landscape - The Reversible World
Yoon Chung Han
My AI-generated 3D animated video design “Plastic Landscape - The Reversible World” was exhibited as a part of Seoul Light Gwanghwamun in Seoul, South Korea from December 15, 2023 to January 21, 2024 on the media facade of the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History. The work shows the apocalyptic and surreal world surrounded by artificial plastic mixtures and objects in the ocean, urban city, antarctica, and forest. Four different scenes are animated, with the camera panning slowly from left to right. Viewers can observe how the plastics are decomposed at a slower speed by looking at particle animations. Surreal objects/buildings in this animation made out of plastic look beautiful and mesmerizing at first glance. However, the viewers can notice that they are the decayed objects and destroyed nature impacted by human beings. This new multi-sensory artwork addresses the awareness of plastic pollution through the apocalyptic lens.

A Love Letter
Carmen Kennedy-Saleh
"A Love Letter" steps you into the sharp tenderness of a loved one’s transition. “Its pages expose your mind to the various mirrors of an embrace while also walking you down the predatory nodes of a medical system that serves capital and rage with equal measure. In a few pages, you are years changed,” writes the former San Francisco Poet Laureate, Tongo Eisen Martin. "A Love Letter" should make you feel uncomfortable. It should confront you with humanity and inspire your active support for newly imagined forms of universal, comprehensive care that is free for us all.

Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Analytics for Food Security
Chandrasekar Vuppalapati
Climate change, increasing population, food-versus-fuel economics, pandemics, etc. pose a threat to food security to unprecedented levels. It has fallen upon the practitioners of agriculture and technologists of the world to innovate and become more productive to address the multi-pronged food security challenges. Agricultural innovation is key to managing food security concerns. The infusion of data science, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced analytics, satellites data, geospatial data, climatology, sensor technologies, and climate modeling with traditional agricultural practices such as soil engineering, fertilizers use, and agronomy are some of the best ways to achieve this. Data science helps farmers to unravel patterns in fertilizer pricing, equipment usage, transportation and storage costs, yield per hectare, and weather trends to better plan and spend resources. AI enables farmers to learn from fellow farmers to apply best techniques that are transferred learning from AI to improve agricultural productivity and to achieve financial sustainability. Sensor technologies play an important role in getting real-time farm field data and provide feedback loops to improve overall agricultural practices and can yield huge productivity gains. Advanced Analytics modeling is essential software technique that codifies farmers’ tacit knowledge such as better seed per soil, better feed for dairy cattle breed, or production practices to match weather pattern that was acquired over years of their hard work to share with worldwide farmers to improve overall production efficiencies, the best antidote to food security issue. In addition to the paradigm shift, economic sustainability of small farms is a major enabler of food security. The book reviews all these technological advances and proposes macroeconomic pricing models that data mines macroeconomic signals and the influence of global economic trends on small farm sustainability to provide actionable insights to farmers to avert any financial disasters due to recurrent economic crises.

Data Science Inscription of the Jyotirlingas! Volume 1
Chandrasekar Vuppalapati
A Jyotirlinga or Jyotirlingam is a devotional representation of a Hindu Deity. The word is made up of Sanskrit ‘jyotis’ which means ‘radiance’ and linga, also spelled lingam, means ‘sign’ or “distinguishing symbol”. Hinduism defines Jyotirlingam as the radiant sign of the Almighty. In our data scientific view, nonetheless, Jyotirlinga represents the embodiment of time series. It exhibits stationarity and multi-model patterns of naturally occurring time series, a classical data science pattern, that has a causative relationship with historical events, world macroeconomics, agriculture, and other worldly events.

Getting the Runaround: Formerly Incarcerated Men and the Bureaucratic Barriers to Reentry
John Halushka
Getting the Runaround takes readers into the bureaucracy of prisoner reentry, examining how returning citizens navigate the "institutional circuit" of parole offices, public assistance programs, rehabilitation facilities, shelters, and family courts. Tracing the lives of men returning to New York City after incarceration, the book argues that the very institutions charged with facilitating the transition from incarceration to community life perversely undermine reintegration by imposing a litany of bureaucratic obstacles. This "runaround" is not merely a series of inconveniences but rather an extension of state punishment that exacerbates poverty and diminishes citizenship rights. By telling the stories of men caught in vicious cycles of bureaucratic control, Halushka demonstrates the urgent need to shift reentry away from an austerity-driven, compliance-based framework and toward a vision of social justice and inclusion.
