La Granada: Short Films Inspired by Food
On Monday, February 3 from 5:00-6:30 pm, join WSU student filmmaker Hollen Foster-Grahler at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU for a screening of her short film “La Granada”. Shot in Aberystwyth, Wales, the film is a visual journey exploring feminine rage, empowerment, and community through surrealist imagery and movement. The title and central emblem of the film, la granada, is the Spanish word for both “pomegranate” and “grenade”—simultaneously a symbol of femininity and destruction. Through this dual meaning, the film examines the precarious nature of womanhood: What happens when that potential energy is finally released?

Join us for this collaborative event with the Association for Faculty Women and WSU Pullman Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclusive Excellence, Dr. Lisa Guerrero, as she encourages us to locate, implicate, and disrupt existing power structures and contextual factors that perpetuate inequity in how we conduct research from setting the research agenda to designing research questions, from identifying methodologies and epistemologies to conducting the research, all the way through the dissemination and application of findings.

The fear of low-level ionizing and non-ionizing radiation has been present almost since the discovery of radiation. This fear has often served as an impediment to the uses of radiation and radioactive material for purposes that range from medical treatments to the generation of electric power. Given this background, it is important to understand results from the science of radiation biology especially with respect to low-level ionizing radiation exposure. To this end, the following questions will be addressed. What is the radiation induced cancer risks following whole body acute radiation, including the potential effects of cancer and genetic damage? Are the risks of radiation induced genetic effects almost equal to the risks for cancer? Does radiation exposure increase the “genetic load”? What is the risk from internally deposited radioactive materials that have non-uniform distribution? What is the risk of bone cancer and birth defects induced by 90Sr-90Y? What is the risk for thyroid cancer induced by 131I. Is 239Pu the “most hazardous substance known to man”? What are the risks for liver, bone, and lung cancer from 239Pu. Finally, there will be a discussion about the costs to society driven in part by the fear of radiation.
