The selection committee includes scholars who are chosen for their breadth of methodological skills and intellectual rigor. This year’s committee was chaired by Keita Takayama (Kyoto University) and included Nelli Piattoeva (Tampere University, Finland), Amrit Thapa (University of Pennsylvania), Nisha Thapliyal (University of Newcastle, Australia), and Fang Yanping (National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore). From 29 research articles published in volume 66 (2022) of CER (themselves selected from over 200 annual submissions), the George Bereday Committee awarded the honor to Meixi, Sukanda Kongkaew, Panthiwa Theechumpa, Amornrat Pinwanna, and Alison Ling for their article “Making Relatives: The Poetics and Politics of a Trans-Indigenous Teacher Collective,” published in August (66 [3]: 442–64). The committee reported the following: “‘Making Relatives’ was written by educators and researchers who have been deeply involved in the establishment and management of an Indigenous school in Northern Thailand, which adopted an Indigenous educational model from Mexico called Tutoría. The piece is not only beautifully written and wonderfully rich in its contextualization and empirical details but also admirably creative in its operationalization of conceptual tools drawn from interdisciplinary literature around storywork and social poetics.” The CER editors congratulate the authors on this honor.The committee also noted the high quality of other articles and in particular offered an honorable mention to Susanne Ress, Nancy Kendall, Sophia Friedson-Ridenour, and Yaa Oparebea Ampofo for their article “Representations of Humans, Climate Change, and Environmental Degradation in School Textbooks in Ghana and Malawi,” published in November ( 66 [4]: 599–619).George Zygmunt Fijalkowski Bereday, born in Warsaw in 1920, was both the founding editor of the CER and a cofounder of the Comparative Education Society, along with his close colleague William Brickman. A graduate of London and Oxford (while also serving in the British army during World War II), Professor Bereday subsequently arrived in the United States for PhD studies at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education. Later he received a JD from Columbia Law School, where he studied while teaching comparative education, sociology, and juvenile law at Columbia Teachers College from 1955 until his untimely death in 1983. William Brickman (writing in the fall of that year in Western European Education) called Bereday an extraordinarily talented and gifted personality: “A polyglot, he read, spoke, comprehended, and lectured in several Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages … and he attained a practical ability in the use of Japanese.” Brickman also enthused that “Professor Bereday represented a rare blend of the classical and the modern, of Eastern and Western European education and scholarship, and of the Occidental and Oriental cultures” and that he “exhibited endless evidence of humanism toward other cultures and humanitarianism toward persons of all ethnic, racial, and national backgrounds.” Previous articleNext article DetailsFiguresReferencesCited by Comparative Education Review Volume 67, Number 2May 2023 Sponsored by the Comparative and International Education Society Article DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1086/724822 © 2023 Comparative and International Education Society.

‘A normal life’: Karel Tuytschaever on the dramas of Easy Tiger

In this interview, actor–director Karel Tuytschaever and I examine his first feature film, a critical-creative project entitled Easy Tiger (2022). In it, the meeting between a psychologist (Mickaël Pelissier) and his client (Casper Wubbolts), a deaf man, proves revelatory for them both. The client speaks of a dying man with whom he was deeply in love, which leads him to explore his feelings about the possibility of finding true love. These confessions prompt the psychologist to re-evaluate his relationship with himself and with the world. Tuytschaever and I discuss how he brings together his roles as a director, an actor and an academic, before examining the film and how he communicates his complex vision with us and with his actors. Much of the film involves stillness, and it unfolds in silence. We discuss how Tuytschaever speaks volumes with it, making the film of significant interest for both hearing and other/non-hearing people. Easy Tiger received an Honorable Mention as Indie Feature Film in the Paris Film Awards; and it has earned Best Queer, Best Directing and Best International Film awards at the SENSEI FilmFest. This interview advances scholarship by introducing us to Tuytschaever’s critical work and by examining how it informs his artistic project.

Abstract P5-07-05: Improving Health-Related Quality of Life with Outpatient High-Dose Methotrexate Regimen Among Solid Tumor Oncology Patients with Intracranial Metastases: A Qualitative Study

Abstract Introduction: Breast cancer patients with intracranial (IC) metastases including leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) confer poor prognosis. Upon disease progression with standard lines of therapy, high-dose intravenous methotrexate (HD IV MTX) is offered to patients given its effective CNS penetrance. HD IV MTX is commonly administered inpatient, requiring extended hospitalization, rigorous leucovorin rescue, IV hydration, and urine alkalinization. Currently, quality of life (QoL) aspects of inpatient v. outpatient regimens remain unknown. Methods: An outpatient MTX protocol with daily visits to outpatient infusion centers was institutionally developed. Study eligibility criteria included solid tumor diagnoses with IC±LM metastasis, disease progression on standard of care treatment, and transition from inpatient to outpatient regimen within the past 12 months. For eligible patients upon consent, qualitative semi-structured phone interviews were conducted with focus on physical functioning and symptom burden. Thematic analysis was utilized. Results: Of the 10 patients who were screened, three (breast=2, sarcoma=1) were eligible. Patient demographics included 2 Caucasians, 1 African American, mean age of 52 years, and s/p prior whole brain radiation. Among QoL measures, no differences in functional status were reported between the two regimens. Single sarcoma patient reported less nausea and emesis with the outpatient regimen. All patients agreed on convenience, autonomy, greater personal and family time, and stronger emotional support while undergoing the outpatient protocol. Despite honorable mentions of inpatient onsite staff and services, all patients reported higher QoL experienced with outpatient MTX protocol vs. inpatient. Conclusions: Interview analysis determined that patient autonomy and nonobligatory hospitalization are key outpatient MTX treatment hallmarks that greatly enhanced patient QoL. Despite the small preliminary patient pool, this study delineates the feasibility in development of an institutionalized patient-centered outpatient MTX protocol. Future clinical trials will additionally be dedicated in conducting a cost-effective analysis comparing both MTX regimens.

A framework for future national pediatric pandemic respiratory disease severity triage: The HHS pediatric COVID-19 data challenge.

With persistent incidence, incomplete vaccination rates, confounding respiratory illnesses, and few therapeutic interventions available, COVID-19 continues to be a burden on the pediatric population. During a surge, it is difficult for hospitals to direct limited healthcare resources effectively. While the overwhelming majority of pediatric infections are mild, there have been life-threatening exceptions that illuminated the need to proactively identify pediatric patients at risk of severe COVID-19 and other respiratory infectious diseases. However, a nationwide capability for developing validated computational tools to identify pediatric patients at risk using real-world data does not exist. HHS ASPR BARDA sought, through the power of competition in a challenge, to create computational models to address two clinically important questions using the National COVID Cohort Collaborative: (1) Of pediatric patients who test positive for COVID-19 in an outpatient setting, who are at risk for hospitalization? (2) Of pediatric patients who test positive for COVID-19 and are hospitalized, who are at risk for needing mechanical ventilation or cardiovascular interventions? This challenge was the first, multi-agency, coordinated computational challenge carried out by the federal government as a response to a public health emergency. Fifty-five computational models were evaluated across both tasks and two winners and three honorable mentions were selected. This challenge serves as a framework for how the government, research communities, and large data repositories can be brought together to source solutions when resources are strapped during a pandemic.

Dear Girlhood

Dear Girlhood Mary Angelino (bio) 1. Anagrams for girls who don’t play in the sea My sleepyhead—all heeltapsand leash, all pleatedand petaled from playdates— ahead are steeplesof sea, pedestals of atlaselapsing. Don’t let girlhood drift, don’t dare it to drag—my eyelash, my sad little eel. So what? I’ll deal.I’m gloried, adored, she sings, haloed and splayed on the shore. (I’m all plea,no play.) Death an eyeshade,a pale lady, wades into the deep. [End Page 28] 2. Song for queer girls For catching pollywogs (those squirmycommas) with a net or hands or anychipped wayward old mug; for mud-cakedBarbie’s hair, for the cleft of plastic (like a comma, net, or hands)between her legs, for her shinyhair and her clefts of plasticbreasts and for Velcro’s easy rip-away between her legs; for my shiny,wooly strokes. For loving the neighbor girl’sbreasts and for Velcro’s easy rip-awaywhen I loved myself, for my pillow’s wooly strokes. For loving the neighbor girland her mother’s, Be back when the streetlightscome on. For loving myself, my pillow,and all the girls who stayed out past dark, after the streetlights came on, their voiceschipped wayward old mugs. For mud-cakedgirls who stayed out past dark.For Barbie’s hair. For the cleft of plastic. [End Page 29] 3. How girls are made She’s old enough to wonder how it’s done.Her thumbs slide across the screenand those little comet tails between the letterstrail, they clip made down to mad and dam and me,or stretch it to demons or demand—see howmaiden weaves herself in? Sometimesa cheerful mead, a willful dame. A willful dame, a cheerful mead—sometimes a maiden weaves herself in.See how it stretches to demons or demand,how dam and mad clips down to me?Between the letters, those little comet tailsslide across the screen; her thumbswonder how it’s done. She’s old enough. [End Page 30] 4. How the girl got thick skin First, she felt it thin and shrinklike a child caught in a lie,so she took it off and carried it.Please don’t ask how she looked underneath (like a child caught in a lie),splashing through the creek.Please don’t ask how she lookedwhen she hid, when a predator—mid-hunt— splashed through the creek. You want toknow how she stretched and toughenedthat hide when the predator was through,how it felt to slip back into her skin— its arguments stretched and toughened,outgrown. She took it off, carried it,turned it back into skin, and slipped in.Don’t ask how she looked.

She lives in Valencia, California, where she teaches composition and creative writing at College of the Canyons and serves on the Santa Clarita Art Council’s Sidewalk Poetry Project. Fairy tales were my first experience with the image. They taught me to see things in my mind’s eye: the Beast’s blood-red roses, Sleeping Beauty’s thorn-choked tower, the gnarled hand of the witch holding out the apple. In “Dear Girlhood” (a love letter of sorts), I let the images from my childhood haunt and pout and sing, tangle and untangle themselves through their forms—anagrams, pantoums, and the mirror poem.
