15. GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSION SERIES FEATURING DEEPTI CHATTI
Thursday, November 13, 1:30-2:30pm, Zoom
Gender empowerment is often one of the stated goals of sustainable development projects, but what “empowerment” actually is on the ground, how it is experienced subjectively, and the nature of its relationship to “development” is less understood. Based on long term ethnographic research in India, I analyze women’s subjective experiences of empowerment and the ways in which they are related to development projects to expand clean cooking energy access in rural India. My analysis includes juxtaposing household energy decisions with agrarian decisions and their concomitant labor needs. I argue that the empowerment potential in energy programs lies not necessarily in the grand imaginaries articulated by external development actors, but in the myriad ways in which they are heterogeneously embraced by targets of sustainable development to meet specific local needs.

42. COVES FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM – DEADLINE: DECEMBER 11, 2025
Interested graduate students may apply for the Commonwealth of Virginia Engineering and Science (COVES) summer fellowship until December 11, 2025. The COVES Fellowship is a 12-week full-time summer fellowship program (May 17-August 6) operated by the Virginia Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine (the Academy) and open to STEM graduate students. According to the Academy, the aim of the program is to strengthen ties between the scientific community and Virginia’s state government, and to encourage and train more scientists and engineers to be effective advisors for public policy and programs in the Commonwealth. During the program, fellows will receive training in science policy and science communication, spend time in legislative offices, executive agencies, companies, or nonprofits in the state, and will be paired with an Academy mentor and involved in briefings, meetings, and the Academy’s annual summit in August. The program begins with a week-long boot camp on science policy, governance, and policy-making in Virginia. Thereafter, fellows spend their time with the entity with which they are matched, and are also paired with a mentor. The program includes a stipend. The Graduate School will submit five finalists for the fellowship program to the Academy, which will then choose one to represent the university in the program.

Participation involves one 60-minute video-recorded session. During the session, children will play with a Lego set, do reading and math activities, play iPad games, and play a Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulder game. Meanwhile, parents complete two surveys lasting about 15 minutes. Sessions can take place at a lab located in the Blacksburg campus, Roanoke, or the participant’s home. Participant qualifications: 2nd and 5th graders this fall, and their parents, who speak and read English. Compensation: Participants will be compensated with $20 for their time and effort upon completion of the session and surveys. Fill out the interest form here:  https://forms.gle/kHLdTAcf8x4gnyPW9

50. PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH STUDY ON SLEEP AND BRAIN-MACHINE INTERFACE LEARNING – 3^rd posting
This Virginia Tech study (VT IRB # 17-860) aims to uncover what events occur in the brain during sleep that help facilitate the learning of a new task. To meet this goal, we utilize a number of physiological recordings in the lab, such as EEG, EMG, and EOG recordings. The Brain-machine interface learning translates neural data into commands to control external software or hardwire, like controlling a moving ball on a computer screen with your thoughts. Participants that are assigned to the experimental group must sleep in the lab, either by taking a nap or by sleeping overnight. If you are assigned to the control group, you will watch a documentary during nap. Total study time is approximately 11 hours for overnights or 5 hours for naps. Participant qualifications: People between 18 and 26 years with no history of significant chronic neurological disease, diabetic problems, severe mental illness, or any DSM-IV axis I disorders, and no hearing or sleep disorders. Compensation: Compensation is $50 (overnight) or $25 (nap) cash upon completion of the study. Please email ndnestudies@gmail.com for more information!

In this study, you will test a prototype LBG with a remote partner, share your thoughts and feedback on the game’s features, and complete a short survey and interview about your experience. The study session is expected to take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Interested individuals will be asked to complete a screener survey to determine eligibility. If eligible, you will be invited to provide consent and indicate your preferred day(s) and time(s) for participation. Only individuals 18-years or older and capable of providing consent are eligible to participate in the study. Participants will be compensated with a $15 Amazon gift card.
