Recent cases are included to help employers understand how some of these laws are being interpreted in court, and to highlight the importance of understanding when the various laws apply to a company or a specific situation.

Physiological effects of various kinds may mediate the acculturative stress and mental health outcomes measured in the U.S. Latinx population. In this project we illustrate a possible three-step line of causal associations from the social environment to subsequent bodily changes to mental health. To narrow the scope of this project, the main mental health outcomes of focus, for which associated physiological effects are discussed, were anxiety/depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or PTSD-like symptoms. The literature gives sufficient evidence that not only is there a wide variety of physical changes that occur due to acculturative stress and in response to perceived discrimination, but that these physical changes have been associated with consequences on mental health. This analysis also demonstrates the need for further research into the physiological effects of acculturative stress. Specifically, there is a need for more longitudinal studies in the Latinx population that accounts for other dimensions of identity such as gender identity, sexuality, skin color, etc. The research presented in this study can help healthcare professionals and the public understand how acculturative stress, as well as most forms of discrimination, can have tangible and serious consequences on the health and wellbeing of the vast Latinx population of the U.S.Item Planning Forum Volume 02(The University of Texas School of Architecture, 1996) Powell, LeilahItem Red-Eyed Vireos Have Difficulty Recognizing Individual Neighbors Songs(1993-10) Godard, Renee; Godard, ReneeI investigated recognition of individual neighbors' songs in a migratory species with large repertoires, the Red-eyed Vireo (Vireo olivaceous). To test for abilities to recognize individual neighbors, I measured responses to playbacks of neighbors' songs from appropriate and inappropriate boundaries in two different years. Because the responses to the two types of playbacks were not statistically different in either year, I concluded that Red-eyed Vireos have difficulty recognizing their neighbors by song. If recognition of neighbors serves to reduce energy expended in territorial defense during the breeding season, a large repertoire could be costly to male Red-eyed Vireos.Item Usama Malik Interview(2021-03-17) Institute for Diversity & Civic Life; Department of Religious StudiesThis interview is with Usama Malik, a Muslim Chaplain at Muslim Space in Austin, Texas.
