Canelas and Shapiro share their love of teaching Duke University awarded its inaugural Judith Decker Prize for excellence in undergraduate teaching this year to three faculty members — Catherine Admay The prize winners were chosen from 120 faculty candidates identified last spring during an open nomination period where Duke faculty alums and current students submitted more than 500 nominations Duke’s Office of Undergraduate Education enlisted student writers to interview professors Admay Canelas and Shapiro for a take on their teaching philosophies Hi,” Catherine Admay said cheerfully as she rushed into a Sanford classroom to lead the “No Cash a health and human rights court simulation organized to prepare students for careers in law Admay created an immediate sense of welcome and connection This moment is emblematic of how Admay teaches — from a place of mutual engagement and shared purpose “I’m not a person who likes to be in the limelight I like to teach and get us involved,” she said Her students say they are co-creators in an experience rooted in trust and what Admay calls “right relationship.” Her classroom is a space where ideas are tested and stories shared — to practice deep listening and empathy “This is why I love constitutional law — my heart,” she said she draws connections between legal frameworks and lived experience using role-plays to help students wrestle with justice in both theoretical and tangible terms A white South African who came of age under Apartheid Admay’s teaching is animated by personal history and professional resolve “How do we together un-make structural violence and bring about flourishing for all?” she asked the classroom is not removed from the world’s challenges; it is a rehearsal space for justice Whether helping students find their “sparkle” in legal doctrine or cheering them on beyond graduation humility and a sense of shared responsibility Her students leave knowing that learning doesn’t end when class does — and that they’ve had a teacher who truly “held space for their greatness.” “Chemistry is not the most important thing you’re learning,” said Dorian Canelas “You’re learning something transferable about pattern recognition Or you’re learning to tackle a really difficult task and not give up but those are skills that will help you no matter what you do.” Over the past 16 years Canelas has taught almost every undergraduate chemistry course her pathway to her current career is quite the surprise “I wanted to work in industry.” Canelas earned her undergraduate degree in chemistry and then worked in research for four years before pursuing her Ph.D she returned to the private sector before receiving a call from a friend to apply to an open teaching position at North Carolina State University Canelas believes her experience in the private sector may be part of the secret to her talent as a professor; she said that it helped build professional skills such as collaboration on teams leadership and working with diverse groups of people when asked if she prefers research or teaching because I feel that I can make a bigger impact I have the option to impact the world by watching so many people become successful.” Canelas’ advice to her undergraduate students: “It’s important to struggle because that’s how you grow And you’re going to make a lot of mistakes and it’s really important to get good at accepting the responsibility for your actions That’s something a lot of people haven’t learned before they get to college.” She emphasized the importance of intellectual curiosity and responsibility There’s a lot of people at Duke whose entire story has been a success story But the people who have really become leaders in their field are the people who are willing to wipe out.” Karin Shapiro’s path to teaching African & African American studies at Duke was not straightforward as she navigated a range of interests and career paths on her way What is consistent is an eagerness to understand the world around her in particular moving between the histories of South Africa and the United States to find deep connections and distinctions in their fraught racial relations and a commitment to share this research with students and non-scholarly audiences As an undergraduate at the University of Witwatersrand Shapiro grew up in the politically tense backdrop of Apartheid South Africa Shapiro deferred her acceptance to study medicine in favor of a Fulbright Fellowship to pursue a history degree at Yale University with a focus on African-American studies A Duke faculty member for the past 25 years Shapiro has influenced the lives of many students Her students have won numerous awards for their research papers She seeks to empower students to take responsibility for their learning process interacting with young minds in a way that lets them know of their true potential and ability to excel  “There’s much to enjoy about being a Duke faculty member – superb colleagues opportunities to teach in interesting ways and to pursue wide-ranging intellectual interests,” Shapiro said Shapiro embodies the spirit of scholarly mentorship; in the classroom she encourages students to employ knowledge and skills to explore difficult questions on race creating a space where contentious topics are not shied away from but approached with evidence-based understandings The Decker’s prize is recognition of the lasting influence she has had on her students and the colleagues with whom she has connected Shapiro’s advice for aspiring academics is simple: “Have fun Read on Trinity College of Arts & Sciences Duke Today is produced jointly by University Communications and Marketing and the Office of Communication Services (OCS) Articles are produced by staff and faculty across the university and health system to comprise a one-stop-shop for news from around Duke Geoffrey Mock of University Communications is the editor of the 'News' edition Leanora Minai of OCS is the editor of the 'Working@Duke' edition Stony Brook University student Victor Canela was one of 50 students statewide in SUNY’s Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) who were honored with the Norman R now celebrating its sixth class of honorees recognizes outstanding EOP students for their academic merit and perseverance a graduate of the University at Albany and former assistant dean for special programs at SUNY alongside former Assembly Deputy Speaker Arthur O helped create the EOP as a statewide program “Victor Canela embodies the resilience, dedication, and excellence that define Stony Brook’s EOP students,” said Pamela Matzner, director of Stony Brook’s Educational Opportunity Program/Advancement on Individual Merit (EOP/AIM) “His recognition as a recipient of the SUNY Norman R and commitment to academic and personal growth are incredibly proud of his achievements and look forward to his continued success.” “I am constantly reminded of the profound impact SUNY’s Educational Opportunity Program has had on countless lives and unwavering determination of SUNY’s EOP students serve as beacons of hope and inspiration for future generations of students,” said Chancellor John B we are immensely grateful for the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the Legislature who continue to support this transformative program that ensures students not only start but have the support to complete their degrees.” Heastie ’90 congratulated the award recipients “Your dedication and perseverance have led you to this moment and we are confident that they will continue to move you forward in achieving your many aspirations,” he said award is named after a visionary who was committed to fostering an environment that promoted the growth and development of students from all walks of life We trust that you will draw inspiration from his legacy striving for excellence while inspiring generations to come.”  and supplemental financial assistance to students from disadvantaged backgrounds many of whom are the first in their families to attend college the EOP has served more than 85,000 students and evolved into one of the country’s most successful college access programs and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Admay further emphasized how receiving the award was “really about the students who [she has] had the great privilege to see and hold space for.” She also called on the “hive” of hard-working faculty

socioeconomic rights conflict transformation and interdisciplinary engagements with law — such as ethics Canelas has taught several introductory-level chemistry courses working to implement student-centered pedagogies and increase undergraduate retention in the sciences Her research interests include chemical education research the scholarship of teaching and learning and macromolecules for industrial and biological applications “[Professor] Canelas shows up almost every day to [chemistry] lecture with balloons metals or some other materials to let us actually physically see the applications of what we’re learning in class,” wrote junior Kristina Schaufele in an email to The Chronicle “She’s a chemistry teacher that has likely made every one of her students laugh aloud at one point.” a social historian of the American South by training now primarily teaches courses in South African history Her courses explore issues related to “race nationalism and unfulfilled political and economic commitments,” topics she wrote she does not want to “shy away from.” Shapiro shared that she strives to create “ever-evolving courses” that are thought-provoking and satisfying for students and that provide students with the opportunity to take ownership of their learning and explore their individual interests I truly believe they have something to say and I’m curious to discover what that might be,” she wrote All current Duke faculty members who have taught an undergraduate course within the past four semesters are eligible to win the award students and alumni were able to submit their nominations throughout April Shapiro described reading students’ letters of nomination as “a deeply moving gift” that “reminded [her] of why [she] love[s] to teach.” Nominated

Santa Canela opened on March 12 steps away from Homestate; it’s a gorgeous compact space by architect Lena Kohl that evokes Mexico City vibes right in Highland Park so prepare to wait for Ramos’s rotating menu of pastries which will likely include her signature LA-shaped churro My current favorite standout is her maple bar-inspired champurrado long Juan doughnut with a delightfully spongy texture and icing that’s not too sweet She takes inspiration from the traditional champurrado a thick Mexican hot chocolate typically made with masa take a bite of the long Juan for a joyful moment walk less than a block south for the longstanding and excellent Delicias bakery A lot of food enthusiasts are aware of Ichimiann in Downtown Torrance one of the best spots for casual soba in Los Angeles which occupies a sleepy strip mall spot on Hawthorne Boulevard The near windowless space feels like a busy Japanese train station restaurant or office worker go-to with the place packing in with mostly Asian folks for lunch The mentai tororo is admittedly going to be a Marmite dish with the slimy grated mountain yam something that takes a little getting used to which is provide a thick almost creamy binder for the noodles and broth nutty buckwheat noodles here are as good as Ichimiann’s while the balanced dashi brings it all together The salty cod roe gives that extra umami punch to a dish just bursting with deliciousness My only wish is that they served a larger version so I could actually get completely full with this bowl (I ordered a pork tonkatsu bento as well and easily ate both dishes) Although tomato season hasn’t really hit Los Angeles yet BLTs are starting to sneak back onto menus as early crops ripen I had my first BLT of the season at Barbara’s at the Brewery in Lincoln Heights which sits on the Brewery Artist Lofts complex While my usual order here is fish and chips I was surprised by a weekend brunch menu that offered more breakfast-like options A good BLT is so dependent on the tomato quality While not as sweet as mid-summer heirlooms they were juicy with the right balance of acidity and sweetness The rest of the sandwich was simple but well-executed The za’atar tossed fries on the side made it all the better The kitchen at Chi Spacca is firing on all cylinders under chef Armen Ayvazyan who has now helmed the Nancy Silverton-owned steakhouse for the past year and a half Ayvazyan has prepared a much more California-style menu with only just a few nods to Italian cuisine in the focaccia de recco and bistecca/costata alla Fiorentina (the English-style meat pies are also still there) like basturma-style veal tongue dressed with salsa verde or these terrific porcini-dusted short ribs with scallion ribbons Inspired by Osteria Mozza’s chef de cuisine Elizabeth Hong’s mother I had charcoal-grilled galbi that came in big white buckets that my family would cook up at church picnics or family gatherings though with the ultra-sharp steak knives it’s easy to slice away bite-sized pieces instead of gnawing on them like cavemen Spanish-language content now available to millions of Samsung TV viewers viewers can now enjoy the finest selection of Spanish-language content including Canela Originals on Samsung TV Plus' linear FAST Channels two new channels have been added to the Samsung TV Plus lineup: Samsung TV Plus viewers have enjoyed Canela.TV content and will now have access to additional FAST channels available at their fingertips In addition to previously available channels in Mexico (Clasicos two additional channels are now available for Samsung TV Plus viewers: "Samsung TV Plus viewers have enjoyed Canela.TV content and will now have access to additional FAST channels available at their fingertips," said Isabel Rafferty "We will continue to create more content to keep audiences entertained and bring cultural experiences to Hispanic families in the U.S We are thrilled to continue a successful partnership with Samsung."

River Waves Productions: Secretos de villanas para Canela.TV es nuestra primera gran producción Isabel Rafferty de Canela Media: Serie original Secretos de villanas debuta el 20 de octubre por Canela.TV Mexico is a very important territory for Canela Media it is a land very close to her heart because she is a Mexican native.“What we have seen is that the audiences on the streaming side have adapted very quickly but what has been lacking in the Mexican territory since being an AVOD company we still see that the brands depend a lot on the TV side and have not yet made the leap to invest in OTT which complicates for us the Mexican territory a bit today” but the brands have been a bit slow to invest noting that it is important to educate brands about the benefits of AVOD.“OTT has not found its space yet: it is not TV it is not digital and I think it makes it difficult for it to grow This is what happened in the US a couple of years ago when the AVOD market grew because that investment was not very well defined on the brand side I believe that in the Mexican market today there is a great desire We know that the audiences are there and that Mexicans consume a lot of streaming but the brands have been a bit slow on the investment side,” commented Rafferty.MEXICO IS WAITING FOR THE ADVERTISING EXPLOSION IN AVODAccording to a Statista study the revenue generated by OTT services in Mexico was close to US$1,115 million in 2021 and by 2026 it will be US$1,900 million 2022 saw the highest percentage of growth in the number of Internet users in the last eight years reaching 96.87 million (+9.3%) which represents 80.8% of the population +6 years of age according to data from the MX Internet Association and the firm Knowsy AI The favorite activity of Internet users in Mexico is connecting to networks and digital platforms (84%).In addition according to the Digital 2022 Global Overview Report carried out by WeAreSocial and Hootsuite in Mexico 97.9% of Internet users consume streaming TV on a monthly basis.“It is a challenge to help brands make that leap I think it’s also a bit of a learning curve because they have a digital side where they don’t know how to give value to streaming and they try to put digital video models on a more premium platform The CPM values that try to include a more premium model are not there and has been difficult in the Mexican market,” she commented.Canela.TV was the first platform in Latin America to include formats with interactive versions in its inventory almost doubling audience interaction time: +38 seconds gained above 20 seconds delivering engagement rates of 3.97 % vs .70% beating their benchmark by 459% for AVOD platforms.Another example of the benefit of Canela’s platform for its advertisers is that it has “increased the awareness of mass consumption brands in Mexico and the US through channel sponsorships that display customized collections where the reach goes beyond the actions within of the Canela.TV linking their brands with targeted and segmented audiences relevant to their products and delivering results such as 96.51% in VCR 96.68% in billboard ads and amplifications in social networks.”“Our sales teams are educating agencies good information and research,” Rafferty said.Ana Laura García Téllez senior manager of Cinnamon Marketing in Mexico mentioned that there are already “very good brands that are working with Cinnamon in Mexico.” She indicated that they are in full ‘evangelization’ work with decision makers and there is a lot of interest in advertising with the

Listen Put yourself out there: You might have the most incredible product or service The best way to increase your chances of getting a lucky shot is by throwing many shots As a part of our series about “Why We Need More Women Founders” I had the pleasure of interviewing Filipa Canelas Filipa Canelas is a productivity expert, course creator, and the author of “Around is Forward: The Productivity Cycle Behind Extraordinary Results”. With her online courses, Filipa has taught more than 40,000 leaders, students, and entrepreneurs to improve their performance while enjoying the process. You can find her work at www.filipacanelas.com. our readers would like to get to know you a bit more Can you tell us a bit about your “backstory” What led you to this particular career path my backstory begins earlier than I could ever imagine was a Youtube Channel about makeup and fashion We got about 1,000 subscribers and a couple of partnerships This gave me a hint of how much I love to create content [Second Attempt] Right after the end of the Youtube Channel I crossed paths with online courses’ platforms I had this brilliant idea of creating a course teaching “How to DIY your own makeup” This was the start of my career as an online course creator the author presents different ideas and case studies for microbusinesses I became fascinated by the possibilities and immediately decided the following: “I’m creating my version of a micro business” and my 14-year-old-self saw an opportunity I created a Facebook page called “Vendas da Crise” (Crisis Sales’) in which I re-sold eBay products for a margin… drop shipping enough to finance my most common expense — books [Fourth Attempt] The possibility of working for myself in my pyjamas spiked my interest back in 2015 I learned the art of SEO (search engine optimization) and started offering some freelance services on Fiverr at 15 years old I published an e-book on Amazon helping students succeed with my best hacks for thriving in school… don’t ask me if it was any good resulting in my book “Around is Forward” 5 years later [Sixth and best Attempt] I finally gained enough momentum and was established as a blogger and course creator all the previous failed attempts were stepping stones for everything I accomplished Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you began leading your company When I started creating online content regularly I received several messages of people calling me “teacher” It was hilarious to be called that way when I was still in school Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that there was a problem — I was still 13 years old I thought nobody would ever take me seriously and consider buying my course I literally faked the pitch of my voice to make it sound older and professional I can’t describe how terrible it sounded… but I was able to sell two courses Sometimes you must go through some cringe moments to get where you want to be None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way Is there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are My parents were the biggest supporters of my journey I don’t even know how they coped with my weird requests my father shared his bank account details to receive the scarce payments And my mother lent me some money so I could buy bulk SSD cards and re-sell them… I did not pay her interest It is never just about one single factor. The gender funding gap is a combination of factors that usually hold women from starting their businesses. From lack of confidence, to doing more unpaid work than men, to less representation in the founding world. I’ve certainly have experienced a lack of confidence during multiple periods of the journey. Both in my ability to achieve ambitious goals and in my ability to establish myself as a real entrepreneur. Can you help articulate a few things that can be done as individuals, as a society, or by the government, to help overcome those obstacles? Like multiple factors can hold back women, there are also numerous ways to overcome each and one of the existing obstacles. As individuals, we can do something: believing in ourselves, despite how things turn out. Not all days will feel good, but our inner strength will help us move forward. As a society, we must be more supportive of women founders — recognizing the existing challenges, addressing them and assisting women in filling the deserved roles. This might be intuitive to you as a woman founder but I think it will be helpful to spell this out. Can you share a few reasons why more women should become founders? It is a fantastic opportunity to create your own version of reality. You get to decide the why, the how and the what. You get to choose whom to work with. You get to give as much as you want. I can’t think of anything more exciting. What are the “myths” that you would like to dispel about being a founder? Can you explain what you mean? You must be tough and insensible: The role of a founder is usually associated with power, toughness and insensitivity. But I don’t believe it to be true. What you need is to notice, feel, care and help. As Glennon Doyle said: “The opposite of sensitive is insensitive, and that’s no badge of honor.” You must be greedy: This is far from the truth. Money is just a resource, and there is so much more to that. You can support so many causes while being a founder. You should, actually. Is everyone cut out to be a founder? In your opinion, which specific traits increase the likelihood that a person will be a successful founder and what type of person should perhaps seek a “regular job” as an employee? Can you explain what you mean? You must be comfortable with uncertainty. There is never a well-established ladder to climb up as a founder. You might perform exceptionally well, do everything you have planned, and still get nowhere. If you’re not ok with it, perhaps you should seek out another path. Ok super. Here is the main question of our interview. Based on your opinion and experience, what are the “Five Things You Need To Thrive and Succeed as a Woman Founder?” 1. Put yourself out there: You might have the most incredible product or service. But if nobody is aware of its existence, it is not of much help. You must be willing to share your product, story, and personality. Luck plays a role you can’t predict. The best way to increase your chances of getting a lucky shot is by throwing many shots. 2. Get up: Literally and metaphorically. Get up, literally, and get to work on your most ambitious projects. Get up, metaphorically, because you will likely face obstacles that will knock you off. Get up. 3. Respect yourself: I’ve had moments in which I felt down, physically and mentally. And you know what did not help? Continuing to push past my limits. If there is one thing you need as a founder and entrepreneur, it is respecting yourself, setting boundaries and taking time to recharge. 4. Have grit: Grit is the combination of passion and perseverance. And you have no idea of what you can achieve when these two join forces. In fact, Angela Duckworth found that grit predicted success, even when controlling for talent or IQ. This idea is stuck with me forever: passion + perseverance > talent. 5. Be prepared: You will make a ton of mistakes… be prepared. You will succeed beyond your imagination… be prepared. Be prepared for both scenarios as they’re likely to happen. How have you used your success to make the world a better place? I’ve always been a person of causes, something I’ve learned with my mother’s example. From food collection and distribution to monetary donations and the representation of Portugal as the Ambassador of WAVE (a European NGO whose goal is to eliminate violence against women and children). There is always a way to help, and I don’t back off. You are a person of great influence. If you could inspire a movement that would bring the most amount of good for the greatest number of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger. I aspire to fund a social enterprise supporting people in need through educative programs, e.g. teaching skills that increase the chances of breaking the poverty cycle. It is heart-breaking how millions still die due to poverty. I believe education could contribute to ending this harsh reality. We are very blessed that some very prominent names in Business, VC funding, Sports, and Entertainment read this column. Is there a person in the world, or in the US with whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch with, and why? He or she might just see this if we tag them. I can’t hide my admiration for Melinda Gates. After reading her soulful book “The Moment of Lift” and getting to know the fantastic work of the Gates Foundation, my appreciation never stopped growing. Melinda got inspired to create a charity institution after visiting Africa in 1993. She founded Pivotal Ventures, supporting women in the male-dominant tech industry. She is a wholehearted human being. Thank you for these fantastic insights. We greatly appreciate the time you spent on this.
