Every search, whether it’s Google, a library database, or a museum’s online collection, is built on (mostly) human decisions about what to include/exclude and how to describe materials. This workshop goes behind the scenes of the University of Idaho’s digital archival collections to show that process in action: how historical materials are selected, described, and indexed for search. You’ll see how those decisions affect the success or failure of your searches, and how to develop search strategies to find relevant historical materials.

Remediate with Friends
CETL
Faculty and staff are invited to CETL's Remediate with Friends, a weekly drop-in working session held Thursdays from 11a-12p in ED 220. Bring whatever you are wrestling with: a scanned PDF that will not cooperate, a syllabus that needs restructuring (or created!), a Canvas page flagged by Ally, or simply questions about where to start. You will get hands-on help alongside colleagues and accessibility staff, and you will leave with progress made rather than another item added to your list. Cannot make Thursdays? Student Accessibility Assistant (SAA) support is available 8a-4p, Monday through Friday, for individual remediation help throughout the week.

Japan's Long Postwar in "Godzilla Minus One"
University of Idaho - CLASS
World-renowned Godzilla expert William M. Tsutsui will give a talk titled "Is Your War Over Now? Nationalism and Japan’s Long Postwar in Godzilla Minus One," as a part of the Habib Institute's five-year anniversary celebration.
Yamazaki Takashi’s 2023 Godzilla Minus One thrilled fans, won an Academy Award, and broke box-office records. But critics were divided, with many criticizing the film for distorting history and supporting resurgent Japanese militarism. How does Godzilla Minus One help us better understand Japan’s fractured “long postwar” period and the nation’s ongoing struggle to find closure for an unsettled history of war, defeat, and occupation?
William M. Tsutsui is Chancellor and Professor of History at Ottawa University. A graduate of Harvard, Oxford, and Princeton, he has written or edited nine books, including Godzilla on My Mind: Fifty Years of the King of Monsters (called a “cult classic” by the New York Times), In Godzilla’s Footsteps: Japanese Pop Icons on the Global Stage, andJapanese…

Title: Genomic Architecture, Hybridization, and Conservation of Imperiled Oncorhynchus mykiss Lineages
Abstract:
Widespread introductions of nonnative trout have long threatened native trout populations throughout western North America, in part through hybridization. The extent of hybridization varies considerably, with some populations remaining genetically distinct while others have become extensively admixed. Hybridization can occur both between species and between native and introduced lineages of the same species, making introduced ancestry especially difficult to identify. Accurately distinguishing native from introduced ancestry is essential for identifying remnant native populations, characterizing their genetic diversity, and informing their conservation. In this dissertation, I use genomic approaches to investigate hybridization and assess the g…
