James Glisson will use William Merritt Chase (founder of Parson’s School of Design) landscape paintings to articulate how 19th century Americans understood pollution and vectors of infection in light of the miasmatic theory of disease. At the same time Chase was painting near the canal, its putrid soup of rotting animal carcasses and sewage stank up a large swath of Brooklyn and prompted a public health crisis. Dr Glisson considers how Chase’s landscape painting mirrored the protocols and practices of the field of introspective psychology, as described by Edward B. Titchener and William James.

Social Media Safety Tips
Sex offenses are increasingly being committed through the use of social media and other electronic tools.

  *   Check your privacy settings frequently, and
  *   before using social media to interact with others in a way that might seem OK (i.e., sharing private photographs of yourself),
  *   consider how someone else might exploit those same tools against you (i.e., further circulating those photographs or using them to blackmail you).

Additional Safety Tips (Social Media)

  *   Keep in mind that even if you set your social network page to private, it doesn’t guarantee that your information is completely private.
  *   Don’t forget your friends may be able to see your other friends’ posts and pages even if they’re not friends with each other.
  *   Be thoughtful about who is on your friend list when you post or link to certain items.
  *   Read the social network’s privacy policy and find out who else has access to your information, such as advertisers, third‐parties, etc.
  *   Make sure you are running anti‐virus and anti‐spyware software and make sure that definitions are updated.
  *   Document any content found online by taking screenshots to capture all images and information posted with it. Also record the URL of the sites. Keep a record of any other harassing or unwanted contact to you or anyone you know. Make sure to save all original emails or messages.
