<Title>ANTH 211 Textbooks</Title>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Hello,<div><br></div>
    <div>Has anyone taken ANTH 211 course with Nicholas Welcome before in the past? If so, does anyone on campus have the textbooks to the class that they don't use anymore (titles being Black Food Geographies, Race, Self-Reliance, and Food Access in Washington D.C., Forecasts: A Story of Weather and Finance at the Edge of Disaster and The Healthy Ancestor: Embodied Inequality and the Revitalization of Native Hawaiian Health respectively). I am unable to purchase the textbooks on Amazon and similar sites, so I would really like some help.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If anyone has taken ANTH 211 and has these books available with them, please reach out to me at <a href="mailto:ktotime1@umbc.edu">ktotime1@umbc.edu</a> so I can receive these books to use this semester before my next class session.</div>

    <p><strong><u><span>New NSF Research Security Training Modules</span></u></strong></p>
    
    <p><span>NSF has launched four <a href="https://new.nsf.gov/research-security/training" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>interactive online research security training modules</span></a>,
    now available to researchers and institutions across the U.S. These modules are
    designed to facilitate principled international collaboration in an open,
    transparent and secure environment that safeguards the nation's research
    ecosystem.</span></p>
    
    <p><span>Fueled by the "<a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-117publ167/pdf/PLAW-117publ167.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>CHIPS and Science Act of 2022</span></a>,"
    these training modules signify a major first step in reconciling the needs of
    the research, law enforcement and intelligence communities to pursue trusted
    relationships in the global research community while minimizing economic and
    security risks. They provide researchers with clear guidelines and effective
    strategies to protect against existing and emerging research security threats.
    The modules also reinforce NSF's commitment to President Biden's priorities to
    strengthen protections of U.S. government-supported research as outlined in the
    <a href="https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-memorandum-united-states-government-supported-research-development-national-security-policy/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>National Security Presidential
