Morris said by spearheading innovative partnerships and leveraging resources from ASU, tribes and community organizations, she hopes that Inno-NATIONS will create a “collision community,” causing a ripple effect of economic change in tribal communities.

The first collision takes place with the inaugural learning lab series, “Beyond Buckskin: Beyond Online” on March 1 followed by “Protection in All Directions: A Fashion & Resistance Awareness Event” on March 4. The latter will include discussions, multi-media discussions and a fashion show highlighting local Native American designers including Jared Yazzie of OxDX.

Both events are free and take place at The Department in downtown Phoenix.

Inno-NATIONS will also launch a three-day pilot cohort with approximately 20 Native American businesses starting in June.

“Beyond Buckskin” features Jessica Metcalfe, a Turtle Mountain Chippewa, Dartmouth graduate and entrepreneur, who grew a small online store into a successful boutique on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in North Dakota.

The store promotes and sells Native American-made couture, streetwear, jewelry, and accessories from more than 40 Native American and First Nations artist, employing tribe members from the Turtle Mountain community.

ASU Now spoke to Metcalfe to discuss her work.

Jessica Metcalfe

Question: We’ve seen Native American fashion emerge and evolve. How did you get into the business?

Answer: I was writing my master’s thesis in 2005 and my advisor at the time had told me about some research she had done, which looked at Native American fashion in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. She had wondered if I was interested in picking up where her research left off. I looked into it and found that there were these breadcrumbs, little bits here in there, that something had been going on in the past 60-70 years, but hadn’t been looked at as a collective movement.

Through my doctoral dissertation, what I discovered was that Native American fashion has gone through waves of acknowledgements by the broader public, but what we’re experiencing now is perhaps the biggest wave yet.

You have designers like Patricia Michaels out at New York’s Style Fashion Week and the Native Fashion Now traveling exhibit touring the country, so there’s really a lot of exciting things happening lately. It’s coming from a collective movement. Designers basically grouping together to share costs but also to put together more events to cause a bigger ruckus.

Q: How did you build your online store into a brick-and-mortar business?

A: I first launched a blog in 2009 as an outlet for my dissertation research, and wanted to share it with more people and to also get more stories and experiences. My readers kept asking where could they see and buy these clothes? At that time, there wasn’t an easy way to access functions like a Native American Pow Wow or market in order to do that.

I had established a rapport with designers through my research and writing. They saw what I was doing through the blog and then a question popped into my head. “How would you feel about creating a business together?” There were 11 initial designers who said they needed the space, and I worked with them to sell their goods online. We just now opened our design lab on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. We are creating a system where we can meet demand and maximize a need in Indian Country.

We employ Native Americans from ages 15 to 22. There aren’t a whole lot of opportunities for people that age on the reservation. They either work at the grocery store or the gas station. One of them is interested in film and photography and so they run our photo shoots. Another person is interested in business entrepreneurship, and they get to see how an idea goes from concept to execution.

Q: The subtext is that this isn’t just about fashion but, history, representation and cultural appropriation?

A: Our clothing is just more than just objects. It’s about how the material was gathered, what the colors represent, what stories are being told and how does that tie into our value system. One of the things I often discuss is the Native American headdress. Our leaders wear them as a symbol of their leadership and the dedication to their communities. These stories are a way to share our culture with non-Natives and protect our legacy for future generations.

Q: Why is it important for Native American businesses to branch out into other cultures?

A: Native American people desperately need to diversify their economic opportunities on and off the reservations. Up until recently, people haven’t thought of fashion or art as a viable career path.

A recent study conducted by First Peoples Fund that found a third of all Native American people are practicing or are potential artists. That is a huge resource we already have in Indian Country and we need to tap it and develop it, and push for Natives in various fields to look at themselves as entrepreneurs and launching businesses.

Now, Native American people have an opportunity to make a positive impact in their local communities by reaching people through their art and sharing our culture with the rest of the world.

Morris said by spearheading innovative partnerships and leveraging resources from ASU, tribes and community organizations, she hopes that Inno-NATIONS will create a “collision community,” causing a ripple effect of economic change in tribal communities.

The first collision takes place with the inaugural learning lab series, “Beyond Buckskin: Beyond Online” on March 1 followed by “Protection in All Directions: A Fashion & Resistance Awareness Event” on March 4. The latter will include discussions, multi-media discussions and a fashion show highlighting local Native American designers including Jared Yazzie of OxDX.

Both events are free and take place at The Department in downtown Phoenix.

Inno-NATIONS will also launch a three-day pilot cohort with approximately 20 Native American businesses starting in June.

“Beyond Buckskin” features Jessica Metcalfe, a Turtle Mountain Chippewa, Dartmouth graduate and entrepreneur, who grew a small online store into a successful boutique on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in North Dakota.

The store promotes and sells Native American-made couture, streetwear, jewelry, and accessories from more than 40 Native American and First Nations artist, employing tribe members from the Turtle Mountain community.

ASU Now spoke to Metcalfe to discuss her work.

Jessica Metcalfe

Question: We’ve seen Native American fashion emerge and evolve. How did you get into the business?

Answer: I was writing my master’s thesis in 2005 and my advisor at the time had told me about some research she had done, which looked at Native American fashion in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. She had wondered if I was interested in picking up where her research left off. I looked into it and found that there were these breadcrumbs, little bits here in there, that something had been going on in the past 60-70 years, but hadn’t been looked at as a collective movement.

Through my doctoral dissertation, what I discovered was that Native American fashion has gone through waves of acknowledgements by the broader public, but what we’re experiencing now is perhaps the biggest wave yet.

You have designers like Patricia Michaels out at New York’s Style Fashion Week and the Native Fashion Now traveling exhibit touring the country, so there’s really a lot of exciting things happening lately. It’s coming from a collective movement. Designers basically grouping together to share costs but also to put together more events to cause a bigger ruckus.

Q: How did you build your online store into a brick-and-mortar business?

A: I first launched a blog in 2009 as an outlet for my dissertation research, and wanted to share it with more people and to also get more stories and experiences. My readers kept asking where could they see and buy these clothes? At that time, there wasn’t an easy way to access functions like a Native American Pow Wow or market in order to do that.

I had established a rapport with designers through my research and writing. They saw what I was doing through the blog and then a question popped into my head. “How would you feel about creating a business together?” There were 11 initial designers who said they needed the space, and I worked with them to sell their goods online. We just now opened our design lab on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. We are creating a system where we can meet demand and maximize a need in Indian Country.

We employ Native Americans from ages 15 to 22. There aren’t a whole lot of opportunities for people that age on the reservation. They either work at the grocery store or the gas station. One of them is interested in film and photography and so they run our photo shoots. Another person is interested in business entrepreneurship, and they get to see how an idea goes from concept to execution.

Q: The subtext is that this isn’t just about fashion but, history, representation and cultural appropriation?

A: Our clothing is just more than just objects. It’s about how the material was gathered, what the colors represent, what stories are being told and how does that tie into our value system. One of the things I often discuss is the Native American headdress. Our leaders wear them as a symbol of their leadership and the dedication to their communities. These stories are a way to share our culture with non-Natives and protect our legacy for future generations.

Q: Why is it important for Native American businesses to branch out into other cultures?

A: Native American people desperately need to diversify their economic opportunities on and off the reservations. Up until recently, people haven’t thought of fashion or art as a viable career path.

A recent study conducted by First Peoples Fund that found a third of all Native American people are practicing or are potential artists. That is a huge resource we already have in Indian Country and we need to tap it and develop it, and push for Natives in various fields to look at themselves as entrepreneurs and launching businesses.

Now, Native American people have an opportunity to make a positive impact in their local communities by reaching people through their art and sharing our culture with the rest of the world.

En las noticias mé leídas del día, el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump firmó un nuevo decreto migratorio que mantiene la prohibición de viajar a Estados Unidos por 90 días a ciudadanos de seis naciones, entre ellas rán, Libia, Siria, Somalia, Sudán y Yemen. El fundador del Infonavit, Jesús Silva-Herzog Flores, murió a los 81 años.

1. 5 puntos del nuevo decreto migratorio de Trump

El polémico presidente Donald Trump firmó el día de hoy un decreto revisado sobre una prohibición de viajes pero está vez dejó a Irak fuera de la lista de países cuyos ciudadanos no pueden ingresar a Estados Unidos, luego que su primer intento fuera bloqueado en los tribunales, dijeron funcionarios gubernamentales.

Este nuevo decreto mantendrá la prohibición de viaje a Estados Unidos por 90 días a ciudadanos de seis naciones de mayoría musulmana: Irán, Libia, Siria, Somalia, Sudán y Yemen.

2. Homex se hunde, defrauda a inversionistas

Después del fraude contable, detectado por la autoridad regulatoria estadounidense, por 3,300 millones de dólares de Homex, en el que colaboró la Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, no sólo es otro duro golpe para la empresa, sino también para las emisoras del sector representadas en el mercado bursátil mexicano porque aumenta la desconfianza entre los inversionistas.

La semana pasada la Comisión notificó que la desarrolladora mexicana de vivienda reportó la venta de 100,000 casas que no había construido, ni vendido, con la finalidad de inflar sus ingresos del 2010 al 2013, con esto la emisora sobrevaloró sus ingresos en 355% o en alrededor de 3,300 millones de dólares y aumentó el número de casas vendidas en aproximadamente 317 por ciento.

3. Murió Jesús Silva-Herzog Flores a los 81 años

El día de hoy falleció a los 81 años de edad, Jesús Silva-Herzog Flores, político priista, académico, economista y fundador del Infonavit, confirmó el director general del Infonavit, David Penchyna en Twitter.

Silva-Herzog fue director fundador del Instituto del Fondo Nacional de la Vivienda para los Trabajadores (INFONAVIT), profesor e investigador de la UNAM y el Colegio de México, maestro en economía por la Universidad de Yale, analista para el Banco de México (Banxico) y ex secretario de Hacienda durante el gobierno de José López Portillo.

4. En enero el pago de intereses por endeudamiento creció 54% anual

En enero de este año, el gobierno federal gastó más en el pago de intereses que genera por endeudarse, que en inversión física destinada al mantenimiento y a la creación de obra pública.

De acuerdo con datos de la Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público, al costo financiero de la deuda se destinaron 54,079 millones de pesos, lo que significó 54% más respecto a enero del 2016.

Es el incremento más alto que se haya visto desde el 2009, como efecto de la crisis financiera, cuando se observó un aumento del costo financiero por 69.4%, en el primer mes.

5. ¿A qué aspiras en tu retiro?, una cuestión fundamental

Los resultados arrojados por la Encuesta Nacional sobre “¿Qué piensan los millennials mexicanos del ahorro para el retiro?”, elaborado por la Comisión Nacional del Sistema de Ahorro para el Retiro (Consar) se encontró que a pesar de que 88% de los encuestados dijo conocer qué es una administradora de fondos para el retiro (afore), ve el ahorro predominantemente como un mecanismo para enfrentar una emergencia o adquirir un bien inmueble y solamente uno de cada cinco lo ubica como un mecanismo para mejorar el retiro.

Ante esto, expertos reconocen la importancia de concientizar a esta generación sobre lo que significa el ahorro para el retiro, que conozcan productos financieros que les ayuden a enfrentar esta etapa de su vida y que piensen cómo les gustaría vivir en su vejez.

Esta semana Facebook activó en Estados Unidos una nueva función que ayudaría a los usuarios de esta red social a identificar noticias falsas luego de la polémica que generó la batalla contra la desinformación, protagonista en las campañas presidenciales estadounidenses de 2016. (Lea: Batalla contra las noticias falsas lleva a Facebook al banquillo)

La herramienta, que marca algunas noticias como “cuestionadas” (disputed en inglés), hace parte de una estrategia propuesta desde el pasado diciembre por el creador de Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, para así evitar información fraudulenta en esta red social. (Le puede interesar: Facebook, ¿el culpable de Trump?)

De acuerdo con el portal de tecnología Mashable, por la novedad del proyecto la función está llegando a los usuarios paulatinamente. No obstante, en el blog de Facebook la empresa aseguró que a las noticias que estén marcadas como “cuestionadas” se les adjuntará un enlace web en donde se explicarán las razones por las cuales el texto puede no ser verdadero. 

Facebook agregó que la ola de noticias falsas ha perjudicado a los consumidores, así como también ha afectado su discernimiento y credibilidad, razón por la cual decidieron tomar esta medida.

“Las historias que hayan sido cuestionadas podrán además aparecer con menos prominencia en el News Feed”, escribió la red social en su blog.

“Cuestionada”, así se empezaron a marcar desde esta semana algunas noticias en Facebook en Estados Unidos, las que mediante datos engañosos desinforman a los usuarios de la red social.

De ese modo empieza el despliegue de la estrategia que Mark Zuckerberg, creador de Facebook, anunció desde diciembre con el fin de combatir las noticias falsas. Esos contenidos, según algunas acusaciones que se han hecho contra la red social en internet, se aprovecharon para engañar a los votantes en los meses previos a las elecciones en las que Donald Trump fue elegido presidente. Facebook señala que esto ha perjudicado a los usuarios y por eso las medidas tomadas.

Según el portal de tecnología Mashable, la herramienta está llegando a los usuarios de forma paulatina. En las publicaciones de noticias de la red social que sean falsas o desinformen se está poniendo el aviso de “cuestionada”, de esa manera Facebook le informa a sus usuarios que esa información no es verdadera.

Lea aquí, la guerra contra las mentiras en Internet

Además de ser cuestionada, cuenta Facebook en su blog, se añadirá un link a un artículo donde le explican al usuario por qué la noticia tiene ese estado. “Las historias que hayan sido cuestionadas podrán además aparecer con menos prominencia en el News Feed”.

Argentina tiene buenas noticias para Tesla y malas noticias para los productores en Chile y Australia: el país puede estar a punto de inundar el mercado con litio.

Después de que el presidente Mauricio Macri retirara los controles de divisas y de capital y los impuestos introducidos por sus predecesores, unas 40 empresas extranjeras empezaron a considerar oportunidades en la industria minera argentina, más de la mitad de ellas en litio, según el secretario de Minería, Daniel Meilán.

Importantes empresas del sector, como Albemarle Corp., Soc. Química y Minera de Chile SA, Eramet SA y Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co., figuran entre los grupos que están considerando expandir o construir nuevas operaciones de litio en Argentina, como parte de una serie de proyectos mineros de US$20.000

millones hasta 2025, dijo Meilán en una entrevista el lunes. La China CITIC también está buscando oportunidades, según el gobierno.

Si todos los proyecto prosperan, la producción anual de Argentina del metal utilizado en baterías de vehículos eléctricos aumentaría a 165.000 toneladas métricas, o cerca del 45% de la oferta mundial, según proyecciones del gobierno. Los precios aumentarán hasta un 15% este año, pronosticó Albemarle el mes pasado.

“Conservadoramente, Argentina representará alrededor de la mitad de la producción global de litio para 2020”, dijo Meilán desde Toronto, donde participa en la conferencia minera PDAC. “Esto nos muestra que estamos empezando a ser bien considerados a nivel mundial”.

Además, el interés de los inversionistas está siendo alentado por un conjunto de normas estandarizadas para las provincias que Meilán dijo que probablemente estará implementado en junio o julio. Según un acuerdo negociado entre los gobiernos federal y provincial, a las mineras se les cobrará una regalía de hasta un 3%, dijo.

El acuerdo aún necesita la aprobación del Congreso.

I looked into it and found that there were these breadcrumbs, little bits here in there, that something had been going on in the past 60-70 years, but hadn’t been looked at as a collective movement.

Through my doctoral dissertation, what I discovered was that Native American fashion has gone through waves of acknowledgements by the broader public, but what we’re experiencing now is perhaps the biggest wave yet.

You have designers like Patricia Michaels out at New York’s Style Fashion Week and the Native Fashion Now traveling exhibit touring the country, so there’s really a lot of exciting things happening lately. It’s coming from a collective movement. Designers basically grouping together to share costs but also to put together more events to cause a bigger ruckus.

Q: How did you build your online store into a brick-and-mortar business?

A: I first launched a blog in 2009 as an outlet for my dissertation research, and wanted to share it with more people and to also get more stories and experiences. My readers kept asking where could they see and buy these clothes? At that time, there wasn’t an easy way to access functions like a Native American Pow Wow or market in order to do that.

I had established a rapport with designers through my research and writing. They saw what I was doing through the blog and then a question popped into my head. “How would you feel about creating a business together?” There were 11 initial designers who said they needed the space, and I worked with them to sell their goods online. We just now opened our design lab on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. We are creating a system where we can meet demand and maximize a need in Indian Country.

We employ Native Americans from ages 15 to 22. There aren’t a whole lot of opportunities for people that age on the reservation. They either work at the grocery store or the gas station. One of them is interested in film and photography and so they run our photo shoots. Another person is interested in business entrepreneurship, and they get to see how an idea goes from concept to execution.

Q: The subtext is that this isn’t just about fashion but, history, representation and cultural appropriation?

A: Our clothing is just more than just objects. It’s about how the material was gathered, what the colors represent, what stories are being told and how does that tie into our value system. One of the things I often discuss is the Native American headdress. Our leaders wear them as a symbol of their leadership and the dedication to their communities. These stories are a way to share our culture with non-Natives and protect our legacy for future generations.

Q: Why is it important for Native American businesses to branch out into other cultures?

A: Native American people desperately need to diversify their economic opportunities on and off the reservations. Up until recently, people haven’t thought of fashion or art as a viable career path.

A recent study conducted by First Peoples Fund that found a third of all Native American people are practicing or are potential artists. That is a huge resource we already have in Indian Country and we need to tap it and develop it, and push for Natives in various fields to look at themselves as entrepreneurs and launching businesses.

Now, Native American people have an opportunity to make a positive impact in their local communities by reaching people through their art and sharing our culture with the rest of the world.

Nuestro objetivo es construir el periódico personalizado perfecto para cada persona del mundo”, declaró Mark Zuckerberg de Facebook en 2014. Ese diario “te mostrará las cosas que van a interesarte más”.

Para muchos, esa declaración explica perfectamente por qué Facebook es una fuente de noticias tan espantosa.

Una “noticia falsa” que aseguraba que el Papa Francisco respaldaba a Donald Trump fue, según un análisis de BuzzFeed, el artículo noticioso de más leído en Facebook durante los tres meses previos a las elecciones estadounidenses. Si eso es lo que los algoritmos del sitio determinan que es interesante, está lejos de ser un “diario perfecto”.

No es de extrañar que Zuckerberg se encontrara a la defensiva tras la victoria electoral de Trump. Poco después de su triunfo, Zuckerberg declaró: “Creo que la idea de que las noticias falsas en Facebook influyeron en las elecciones de cualquier manera . . . es una idea bastante descabellada’. Su comentario fue recibido con una despectiva reacción.

Creo que aquí debería confesar mis prejuicios. Desprecio a Facebook por todas las razones por las que la gente suele despreciar a Facebook (la privacidad, el poder de mercado, la distracción, las interacciones sociales con falsas sonrisas y lo demás).

Pero, a pesar de eso, voy a defender a Zuckerberg, que recientemente publicó un ensayo de 5.700 palabras en defensa de los medios sociales. Lo que él señala parece estar equivocado. Pero los datos sugieren que tiene razón. Las noticias falsas pueden alimentar incidentes aislados de odio y de violencia. Pero ni las noticias falsas ni la “burbuja de filtros” impulsada por los algoritmos representan una fuerza importante en el panorama general de los medios de comunicación. Todavía no.

“Noticia falsa” es una frase que ya se ha degenerado’. Una definición de noticia falsa es un informe completamente fabricado que se presenta como un artículo noticioso. Esto excluye las coberturas sesgadas, la sátira y las mentiras de los políticos mismos.

A primera vista, esos engaños parecen estar presentes en todo Facebook. El análisis de BuzzFeed descubrió que los cinco artículos falsos más populares fueron más exitosos que los cinco artículos verdaderos más populares.

Pero las historias falsas son menos significativas de lo que este análisis indica, en parte porque Facebook no es la principal fuente de noticias para los estadounidenses (la cual sigue siendo los noticieros de televisión), y en parte porque en general las informaciones verdaderas generalmente aparecen de alguna forma en decenas de medios, lo cual reducirá la popularidad de cualquier versión. Cada engaño, sin embargo, es único. No es de extrañar que las noticias falsas más populares superen a los informes verdaderos más populares.

En enero de 2017, los economistas Hunt Allcott y Matthew Gentzkow publicaron una investigación que exactamente estudiaba qué tan predominantes habían sido los informes falsos antes de las elecciones. Su ingenioso método evaluaba el recuerdo que tenía la gente de las noticias falsas, en comparación con las historias verdaderas y las historias ‘placebo’ (falsas noticias falsas) inventadas por los investigadores. La gente no recordaba muchos artículos de noticias falsas, y dijeron recordar bastantes placebos. En general, no parecía haber suficientes noticias falsas para influir en el resultado de las elecciones, a menos que fuera realmente potente, incluso en pequeñas dosis.

“El votante promedio vio una noticia falsa antes de las elecciones”, me comentó Gentzkow. “Ese número representa una imagen muy diferente de la que se podría obtener observando la discusión pública”.

Preocupa más que Facebook -y su algoritmo “más interesante para vos”- simplemente ofrece noticias que están en línea con los prejuicios ideológicos de cada usuario. Es indudablemente cierto que nos rodeamos de personas que están de acuerdo con nosotros en las redes sociales. Pero no está claro que el algoritmo de Facebook sea el mayor problema en estos casos. Twitter estaba políticamente polarizada incluso durante los días en que no usaba ningún algoritmo en absoluto. Y los periódicos también tienen sesgos ideológicos.

Un reciente estudio de la lectura online de noticias fue realizado por Seth Flaxman, Sharad Goel y Justin Rao, que tenían acceso a los datos del navegador de Microsoft y los utilizaron para analizar cómo la gente consumía noticias online. Descubrieron una situación mixta: las redes sociales parecían promover historias que estaban más lejos del centro del espectro político, pero también exponían a las personas a una mayor variedad de puntos de vista ideológicos. Eso tiene sentido. Leer el mismo diario todos los días también representa una burbuja de filtros.

Gentzkow estudió el contraste entre las noticias online y offline usando datos de 2004-2009 trabajando con su colega economista Jesse Shapiro. Encontraron poca evidencia de que el consumo de noticias online estuviera más polarizado que los medios tradicionales. Pero las cosas están cambiando rápidamente. “Mi suposición es que la separación es notable y significativamente mayor que en el pasado”, comentó Gentzkow, “pero sigue siendo bastante modesta”.

Éste parece ser un momento importante. Las noticias falsas no son predominantes, pero podrían llegar a serlo. Las burbujas de filtros probablemente no sean peores de lo que han sido durante décadas, pero eso también podría cambiar rápidamente.

“En última instancia mucho depende de cuáles son las motivaciones de los votantes estadounidenses”, declaró Gentzkow. “¿A la gente realmente le importa saber la verdad y recibir información correcta?”. Él tiene la esperanza de que, en el fondo, la gente ve y lee las noticias porque quiere aprender sobre el mundo. Pero si lo que los votantes realmente quieren es que les mientan, entonces Facebook es el menor de nuestros problemas.

Morris said by spearheading innovative partnerships and leveraging resources from ASU, tribes and community organizations, she hopes that Inno-NATIONS will create a “collision community,” causing a ripple effect of economic change in tribal communities.

The first collision takes place with the inaugural learning lab series, “Beyond Buckskin: Beyond Online” on March 1 followed by “Protection in All Directions: A Fashion & Resistance Awareness Event” on March 4. The latter will include discussions, multi-media discussions and a fashion show highlighting local Native American designers including Jared Yazzie of OxDX.

Both events are free and take place at The Department in downtown Phoenix.

Inno-NATIONS will also launch a three-day pilot cohort with approximately 20 Native American businesses starting in June.

“Beyond Buckskin” features Jessica Metcalfe, a Turtle Mountain Chippewa, Dartmouth graduate and entrepreneur, who grew a small online store into a successful boutique on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in North Dakota.

The store promotes and sells Native American-made couture, streetwear, jewelry, and accessories from more than 40 Native American and First Nations artist, employing tribe members from the Turtle Mountain community.

ASU Now spoke to Metcalfe to discuss her work.

Question: We’ve seen Native American fashion emerge and evolve. How did you get into the business?

Answer: I was writing my master’s thesis in 2005 and my advisor at the time had told me about some research she had done, which looked at Native American fashion in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. She had wondered if I was interested in picking up where her research left off.
