The Durrës Regional Archaeological Project (DRAP) was a intensive surface survey field project centered around the modern town of Durrës, Albania.
This collection represents all of the raw data collected from the project, whether born analog or born digital.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder commonly characterized by centrofacial erythema, papules, pustules, vascular instability, and ocular involvement. Although extensively studied in lighter skin tones, significant disparities remain in the diagnosis, detection, and treatment of rosacea in individuals with skin of color. This review examines current literature regarding rosacea in melanin-rich skin with emphasis on prevalence, biomarkers, pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, Demodex folliculorum involvement, and treatment approaches. Current diagnostic standards rely heavily on visible erythema and telangiectasia, which are often less apparent in darker skin tones, contributing to underdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Research also suggests differences in inflammatory biomarkers, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and vascular responses in skin of color. Treatment methods including topical therapies, lifestyle modifications, and laser-based thermal therapies are reviewed alongside their limitations and risks in melanated skin. Emerging diagnostic technologies, such as computer-aided imaging systems and biomarker-based approaches, demonstrate potential for improving diagnostic accuracy across diverse populations. Overall, this review highlights the need for more inclusive research, improved clinical education, and culturally competent diagnostic criteria to better address rosacea in underrepresented populations and reduce disparities in dermatologic care.
This poster disseminated a National Science Foundation-funded study that examined the challenges faced by research enterprise professionals in supporting social science research funding, with particular attention to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Primarily Undergraduate Institutions. (PUIs). Using focus groups and a national survey, participants identified barriers and promising solutions. Findings highlight the dedication of professionals in this field and the potential for innovative strategies to strengthen and expand social science research across institutions.
This paper explores queer artist Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt (b. 1948) and his piece titled Allegory of the Stonewall Riot (Statue of Liberty Fighting for Drag Queen, Husband, and Home) (1969). I take a biographical approach to the paper, dissecting Lanigan-Schmidt’s childhood and young adult life living as a queer street kid in the 1960s. I follow him to New York City, where he continued creating his kitsch style art and started getting recognized for it. Outside of his artistic endeavors, Lanigan-Schmidt would catch himself hanging out at The Stonewall Inn, a gay bar on Christopher Street. In the early hours of June 28, 1969, The Stonewall Inn was unexpectedly raided by the police. At a time when being queer was criminalized, the patrons of Stonewall had had enough and fought back against the police, sparking a riot that turned into a weeks-long protest. Lanigan-Schmidt was in attendance that night and joined the fight for gay liberation. It was this night that inspired his creation, Allegory of the Stonewall Riot (Statue of Liberty Fighting for Drag Queen, Husband, and Home). By analyzing the contextual importance of The Stonewall Inn and the riots that ensued, I show how Allegory of the Stonewall Riot reflects queer life in the 1960s. In the art historical canon, queer art is largely underrepresented. However, in this paper I show how Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt and Allegory of the Stonewall Riot deserve a place in the art historical canon
