A collection of almost 30,000 rarely seen images of the black diaspora in the UK and the US, dating from the 19th century to the present, has been launched as part of an educational initiative to raise awareness of the history of black people in the UK.
The Black History & Culture Collection includes more than 20 categories of images including politics, hair, education, female empowerment and LGBTQ+.
It begins with images from the 1800s, including a portrait of two South African children – Albert Jonas and John Xignite, of the African Choir – erupting with laughter in 1891. Photos of abolitionist and civil rights figures, the Notting Hill carnival in the 1980s and the Black Lives Matter protests of recent years are also included.
The push to increase summer enrollment is a component of Purdue’s Transformative Education initiative, one of the most successful Purdue Moves, a series of priorities conceived by President Mitch Daniels in 2013. Transformative Education’s “year-round university” initiatives aim to increase overall capacity and move students more quickly toward graduation, making higher education more affordable as well as enabling faster completion rates and helping employers address staffing needs with college graduates.
Thanks in part to Summer Session programs, Purdue’s four-year graduation rate has increased to 65% for students who started in 2017, from 55.9% for those who started in 2012 (latest data available), while average time to degree has decreased from 4.26 years for the 2012-13 academic year to 3.95 years for the 2020-21 academic year.
For this year’s Summer Session, of 22,000 students, 13,515 are undergraduates, marking a 100% growth rate from Summer Session 2012. Most undergraduate students are taking online courses, sometimes while participating in an internship, conducting research, working or living at home. Purdue officials expect to award more than 100,000 credit hours, up 10% from last summer – another Purdue record.
In addition, one of the university’s most important experiential learning programs, Purdue Study Abroad, has more than 700 students participating this summer. While not at record numbers, the program is coming back strong at about 70% of its peak prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in numerous cancellations and postponements due to travel restrictions.

Pain cards with pictures to describe feelings and poetry can all help people portray chronic pain more meaningfully, according to the research.
Doctors will get a better understanding of the impact of pain – and patients will be better able to express how they feel.
Giving patients other ways of expressing the impact of pain could help to reveal important information which will aid diagnosis or allow doctors to give better support.
Pain charts and visual-linguistic scales were developed during the twentieth century to help doctors and patients measure pain. But asking people to report pain in this way can be challenging for some.
Researchers have said only using scales “displaces the patient’s own story, sidesteps the issue of pain’s private meaning, and disrupts the potential for humane communication between patient and doctor”.
The research, by Nicole of the University of Milan and the University of Haifa and Jessica Stanier from the University of Enter, is published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research.
