“It has caught a lot of people by surprise.”
The surge in anti-Asian hate crimes in major U.S. cities has started an important and long-awaited conversation for this country. In an event hosted by the Ira A. Lipman Center for Journalism and Civil and Human Rights on April 14, Ellen Wu, associate professor of history and director of Asian American studies at Indiana University Bloomington, and Jiayang Fan, a staff writer for The New Yorker, examined the United States’ long-standing history of violence and discrimination against Asians.

Relationship and sexual satisfaction are linked to better self-care for people with epilepsy
When people with epilepsy are more satisfied with their intimate relationships, they are also more likely to manage their condition better, according to a study from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University Bloomington and the IU School of Nursing at IUPUI.
The IU study recently published in the journal Epilepsy & Behavior provides an increased understanding of the significant role that intimate relationships can play in the lives of people with epilepsy. Data gathered from a survey of 88 people with epilepsy revealed that intimate connections with others are a common concern, and many have difficulties navigating and maintaining relationships.

Erik Stolterman is Professor of Informatics at Indiana University Bloomington, as well as a professor at the Institute of Design at Umeå University, Sweden, where he originates.
A prolific scholar of design theory and philosophy, he has co-authored 5 books and more than 150 academic publications with a focus on the design of digital and interactive systems.
His work has been immensely useful to mine. In his writings, I find the words I need to articulate my ideas. He writes, among other things, on the relationships between people and products, on the value and ideals of various design research approaches, and on the synergy of design research and design practice. I spoke with him about the basics: How does he know what he knows? And what can designers learn from philosophy?

America is still in the midst of a health crisis triggered by the global coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately, this has brought financial hardship to many Americans especially because most have insufficient emergency funds. In a recent GOBankingRates survey, nearly half of those polled claimed to have less than one month of emergency savings tucked away, and fewer than 19% have more than six months of savings. At times like these, it’s more important than ever to focus on just how much income you take home from your paycheck so you can budget appropriately going forward.
