Uncertainty looms over UNM with proposed federal research funding cuts

The future of medical research at the University of New Mexico remains uncertain after a federal judge temporarily blocked funding cuts for overhead costs at research institutions.

President Donald Trump announced the cuts Feb. 7, which would put a cap on funding from the National Institutes of Health for “indirect costs.” These costs are used for things like laboratory space, faculty and equipment. The proposed cuts aim to maximize the amount of funds that go toward “direct” research costs, according to the announcement.

“That loss of funding really impacts our ability to do research,” said UNM Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs James Holloway. “Because it pays for all these essential support infrastructures that, in turn, really would negatively impact the health of New Mexicans, because that’s what we do this research for.”

The cuts would cap indirect fund-

University could lose over $20 million

ing at 15%, which would lead to an over $20 million loss for UNM, according to Holloway.

“It would also impact the economy of New Mexico, since it reduces the number of people we employ, reduces the amount of research dollars we could spend in the state,” Holloway said.

New Mexico is among 22 states that filed a lawsuit Feb. 10 challenging the funding cuts. Later that day, a federal judge temporarily blocked the cuts. Anjana Samant, deputy counsel for impact litigation at the New Mexico Department of Justice, is representing New Mexico in the suit.

UNM is the only medical educational institution in the state, Samant said, meaning it is the only facility that does research and teaching on medicine, care and human health. The funding cut could impact jobs, limit the amount of research UNM is able to do and the nature of its research.

“It also does have the potential for impacting the health and well-being of New Mexicans,” Samant said. “It’s a really broadly impacting decision.”

Indirect costs for research projects are negotiated with the NIH and vary in percentages, according to Samant.

Universities across the country, including the University of New Mexico, have reverted to 2020 federal regulations that increased rights for students accused of sexual misconduct and did not explicitly protect LGBTQ+ students.

This follows a Feb. 4 Department of Education notice that instructed schools to revert to the Title IX regulations that were in place during President Donald Trump’s first administration.

The last major shift for Title IX occurred in August 2024, when some universities, including UNM, implemented regulations put in place by then-President Joe Biden’s administration.

Passed in 1972, Title IX is a federal law that, in part, protects people from sex-based discrimination at public universities that receive federal funding. It also requires universities to prevent, assess, investigate and resolve complaints, according to UNM Compliance, Ethics & Equal Opportunity.

New Mexico has a 52% indirect cost rate, Samant said.

The University’s research includes treatment for substance use disorders, infectious disease, kidney disease and cancer, as well as public health-related research, according to Holloway and Samant.

Generally, UNM’s federal research funding works by the University spending money and being reimbursed at the end of the month, according to Holloway. For now, UNM will continue to perform research as planned.

“We’re taking some risk in doing that,” Holloway said.

A Feb. 21 hearing for further arguments in the lawsuit could determine whether UNM will be reimbursed less than expected, according to Holloway. If this happens, UNM will weigh its options, which include potentially reducing research spending, Holloway said.

“We don’t want to tell people to stop doing their research or stop spending on their research, because then, we’re just taking the uncertainty and transmitting it down to the level of individual researchers,” Holloway said.

If the funding cuts take effect af -

The reversion will not significantly impact UNM overall, according to Francie Cordova, chief compliance officer at the Office of Compliance, Ethics & Equal Opportunity. But the 2020 regulations defined sex as exclusively biological, whereas 2024’s regulations broadened this definition to protect students from discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.

The ED notice also cited a Trump executive order that reads that there are “two sexes, male and female,” stating that Title IX should be enforced accordingly.

Though UNM will no longer follow the 2024 regulations, it will find a way to maintain the expanded definition of sex through different policies or laws, Cordova said.

“For us, whether we proceed under Title IX or another policy we have — because our New Mexico state laws make it very clear that we protect gender identity and sexual orientation and all the things that we would have protected in the past — we will still continue to address

ter the hearing, UNM may have to raise tuition and the state legislature may have to provide additional financial support, according to New Mexico Sen. Martin Hickey (DAlbuquerque). Hickey is a retired physician and former UNM associate professor of internal medicine. He is now a member of the Senate Education and Senate Health and Public Affairs Committees.

“The impact will be just devastating, both to the University and to the state budget if it has to pick up some of the lost revenue that comes in,” Hickey said.

Holloway is concerned about the stability of funding to support UNM’s research staff, he said. The cuts could also impact undergraduate and graduate students who are supported by NIH funding, according to Holloway, as well as which research grants UNM has the capacity to pursue.

“This impacts the University of New Mexico more than any other institution in the state,” Holloway said.

Samant said the potential cuts are counterintuitive and ironic.

“One of the things that the feds have certainly talked about is our need as Americans to be on the cutting edge

those behaviors,” Cordova said.

The New Mexico Human Rights Act defines gender identity as a person’s self-perception, “whether or not it matches the person’s gender or sex assigned at birth.”

The 2020 Title IX regulations required live hearings during which a student accusing someone of sexual assault and the student being accused could cross-examine each other, according to The New York Times, including through a lawyer. UNM did not get rid of this practice with the 2024 regulations, so this will not prompt any changes, Cordova said.

In terms of addressing Title IX complaints, the Office of Compliance, Ethics & Equal Opportunity may change some things about the internal approach, according to Cordova, but will not change the fact that it addresses them.

“It’s really for us on the back end to make sure we’re capturing which policies are responsive to whatever the allegation is,” Cordova said. “At the front end, it’s still going to look the same.”

of science and technology,” Samant said. “We really need to be promoting and supporting that kind of work and achievement, and this rate cut has exactly the opposite effect.”

The 2024 regulations also expanded the University’s jurisdiction to address complaints through Title IX, though UNM already had separate procedures for investigating off-campus incidents.

Title IX regulations have changed with each of the last four administrations, according to the NYT. The 2024 regulations prompted federal judges to block them from being enforced in 26 states, according to the ED. Cordova said that approaching the law as a political issue rather than a civil rights issue is a “disservice.”

“We still want everyone on this campus, no matter what their status or statuses are, to be free from discrimination and harassment and feel safe,” Cordova said. “That’s still the vision and mission that we’re proceeding forward with, no matter how things are defined in one particular law.”

Men’s basketball: Tru Washington takes

Lobos stay hot after

The Pit saw a sold-out stadium with 15,411 fans on Sunday, Feb. 16, as people came to see the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team in a Mountain West showdown against the Utah State University Aggies. Both teams put on a show and the game was closely fought throughout.

Guard Tru Washington had a huge impact on the game, making his presence known especially in the second half. Washington was one of the major factors that went into the Lobos leaving The Pit with a 82-79 win.

Both teams came out of the gate playing a very intense brand of basketball in the first half; it was clear that whoever made the fewest mistakes was going to win this game. There was a great display of defense from both squads early on, but that did not last as the half went on. Toward the end of the half, the Lobos were turning the ball over uncharacteristically, which led Utah State to take a 42-36 lead going into halftime.

Coming out of the halftime break, each team kept the same intensity they had started with. However, early in the second half, the Lobos found themselves down by 9 points, and they seemed flustered.

During a dead ball play, Washington had everybody huddle up and displayed strong leadership skills, inspiring the team.

“When there’s dead balls, we all huddle,” Washington said. “I told everybody to buy in — one guy can’t do it, we have to do it together.”

After that moment, the whole demeanor of the team changed and they started to hold their own against the Aggies. This was where Washington started to go off as well, as it seemed as if he was everywhere on the court.

Washington’s presence was felt when he was on the court whether the ball was in or out of his hands. He finished the game with 25 points on 8-15 shooting with four assists and four steals with 19 of his points coming in the second half. Washington’s efforts did not go unnoticed either.

“I’ve always really liked (Washington); his role is increasing,” Head Coach Richard Pitino said.

Washington wasn’t the only one who had himself a game, as guard Donovan Dent showed up once again, dropping 23 points. Even with the team back in full gear, the game was still closely contested and it seemed as if either team still had a chance to win.

Big-time players make big-time plays, and that is exactly what Washington did. He hit a clutch 3-pointer to give the Lobos a 4-point lead with nine seconds to go in the game. While Utah State did make a final push in the last nine seconds, it was all for naught as the Lobos put the game away.

With the win, the Lobos are redhot sitting atop the Mountain West. They have moved their record to 22-4 on the season. The win also makes it the eighth in a row for the Lobos, and they will look for their ninth on Wednesday, Feb. 19 as they travel to Idaho to take on the Boise State Broncos.

Women’s basketball: Lobos’ unforgettable finish leads to victory against Boise State

On Thursday, Feb. 13, the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team took on Boise State University. Both teams came into the game on losing streaks and were hungry for a win. At the end of regulation, the score was 75-75, sending the teams into overtime.

The Lobos secured an 88-83 victory with a game-sealing 3-pointer by Vianè Cumber.

The first quarter started off rocky for the Lobos. They had a hard time with offensive rebounds making it hard to seek the rest of the game. They ended the quarter on a tight score of 14-15 due to a pick-up on offense.

Both teams had the same playing style, which led them to carry out back-to-back baskets throughout the whole game. Cumber said this created intense tension in The Pit.

“They play a lot like us — a lot of transitioning, a lot of quick buckets — but we sent it up on the right side today,” Cumber said. Cumber’s energy throughout the game was strong and focused. Cumber ended the game scoring 27 points, with 15 of those coming off her five 3-pointers. Overall, the team picked up more on offense but fell off on the defensive side, ending the first half with the Lobos leading 38-33.

The Lobos started off the third quarter strong, picking it up in offensive and defensive intensity and matching the second quarter’s energy with few minor changes. The Lobos led 56-55 through three quarters.

The fourth quarter was where the intensity and focus of both teams were showcased. Burnouts were shown from the players with fire and hunger for the win. Ending the quarter 75-75, they headed to overtime, when both teams were at it with multiple offensive rebounds.

With one minute remaining on the clock, the Lobos rushed down the court, leaving Cumber with possession when she shot for

the 3 and made a clean shot. With the mindset of clean defense from the Lobos, Boise State was unable to make one last shot, and the Lobos took the victory.

With such a tight game like this happening so close to conference championships, it may leave some wondering where this will leave the team moving forward.

“We played our first six games really well,” Head Coach Mike Bradbury said. “Middle six, not so much. And now we’re in the last six, and we gotta get right. And the way to do that is to get our competitive spirit in the right place.”

‘Our fight is not over’: Deb Haaland launches governor campaign tour in Albuquerque

@llilyalexander & @lauren_lifke

Former Secretary of the Interior and United States Rep. Deb Haaland kicked off her gubernatorial campaign tour in Albuquerque Thursday, Feb. 13 with a message of resilience.

Two days before the Albuquerque rally, which was held at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, Haaland formally announced her run for New Mexico governor.

“I’m going to go around the state and listen to people,” Haaland told the Daily Lobo. “Because we need to know what people are thinking, what they’re feeling, how they see their future of New Mexico.”

The campaign tour will feature 18 more stops across the state.

During her speech, Haaland, a Democrat, said she aims to increase safety, lower costs, provide more opportunities for children and protect the environment. She also referenced her past work creating renewable energy jobs, increasing trust in law enforcement and supporting small businesses.

“Sometimes, no matter how hard we struggle, how hard we work, how many sacrifices we make, it still feels impossible to give our children what they need to thrive,” Haaland said during her speech.

“The system just isn’t working for us, and it hasn’t been. But together, we can change that.”

New Mexico Sen. Shannon Pinto (D-Tohatchi) attended the rally. She said Haaland’s experience would help her make progress as governor. Haaland served as the first Native American cabinet secretary in U.S. history during former President Joe Biden’s administration.

“She’s very familiar with New Mexico, being a native New Mexican,” Pinto told the Daily Lobo. “It’s great to have someone come back wanting to

serve the people.”

Some legislation Haaland sponsored while in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2019-21 was signed into law by President Donald Trump, Haaland said during her speech. This legislation includes an act to increase benefits for disabled veterans, and a plan to address Colorado River water shortages. Haaland said Trump is currently causing uncertainty in New Mexico.

“Governors will be the first line of defense against him,” Haaland said during her speech.

Among those attending the rally was Albuquerque resident Karen Watson (Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation). She held up a sign with a photo of her sister, Dione Watson, who was killed in Gallup in 2015, she said. Karen Watson is still seeking answers about her sister’s death.

“I’m hoping to come out and bring awareness to MMIW cases — Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women,” Watson said. “I’m really hoping that our candidates this year will pay attention to what’s happening and be tough on crime.”

In her speech, Haaland said she wants to improve safety in New Mexican communities. Achieving this goal, she said, would involve making sure law enforcement has what it needs, keeping criminals off the streets and addressing the root causes of crime.

Watson said she hopes Haaland adopts a stronger stance than she had under the Department of the Interior’s Missing and Murdered Unit, which Haaland created in 2021.

“We didn’t really see a lot of benefits to the families of murdered women and Indigenous relatives,” Watson said.

Haaland told the Daily Lobo she wants to involve young voters in her campaign, and that she plans to visit university campuses across the state.

“Young voters are important because they can inspire their friends to also get out and vote,” Haaland

said. “If you don’t vote, you don’t have a voice.”

The next New Mexico governor will be elected on Nov. 3, 2026. Haaland is the first candidate to announce a bid for the position.

City Council approves $30 million bond for New Mexico United stadium

On Feb. 3, the Albuquerque City Council approved the issuance and sale of a $30 million Industrial Revenue Bond to fund the construction and maintenance of a stadium for New Mexico United.

Plans for the stadium were first approved by the City Council by an 8-1 vote in August 2024.

IRBs are private activity bonds issued by local or state governments on behalf of private companies for projects, according to Investopedia.

Sponsored by City Councilor

Joaquín Baca, O-25-71 passed 8-1.

The stadium is set to use seven acres of land at Balloon Fiesta Park and hold over 10,000 people.

New Mexico United told the City Council during the meeting that no tax dollars will be used for the project, with the exception of incidental circumstances.

The stadium also comes with a planned $40 million investment by New Mexico United.

were able to scratch out a tough win against the University of Wyoming Cowboys, beating them 71-67 Wednesday, Feb. 12. This extends their win streak to seven straight games. It was like deja vu at The Pit, as the game started similarly to when the two teams faced off earlier this season. The Lobos struggled early and

found themselves down 39-29 by halftime. They had 10 turnovers in the first half and only made 32% of their shots.

The Lobos came out of the break energized and went on a lightning-quick 10-0 run to start the second half and tie the game. Despite having a much-improved second half, it would take until there was only 4:58 left in the game for the Lobos to take their first lead.

The Cowboys were bolstered by their star guard Obi Agbim, who sat out the last game these two teams played against each other due to injury. Agbim led all-scoring in the game with 22 points.

With the game tied and less than a minute to go, freshman Jovan Milicevic was able to make the go-ahead three, followed by a clutch defensive stop to seal the game.

Head Coach Richard Pitino praised Milicevic and his shooting ability after the game.

“Just playing hard, that’s the main thing,” Milicevic said. “Coach Pitino, all he wants is just our guys to play hard on the defensive end

and just be junkyard dogs.”

Milicevic provided important minutes off the bench. He finished the night with 10 points and made three 3-pointers.

While both teams had flourishes of defensive brilliance, there were even more offensive lapses. The Lobos finished with 13 turnovers and the Cowboys had 18, though the Lobos were able to capitalize more effectively with 17 points off turnovers while the Cowboys only had 8 points.

While both teams were given free chances for points, it seemed like it was easier to score while being guarded. The Lobos shot 52.9% from the line while the Cowboys managed to shoot even worse, making only 28.6% of their free throws on the night.

Milicevic made one out of his five free-throw attempts.

“I definitely need to get back in the lab and work on my free throws,” Milicevic said.

While the Lobos struggled at times to find offensive rhythm, they were

able to successfully control the pace. They had 23 fast break points fueled by their 10 steals, though they were able to successfully catch the Cowboys sleeping occasionally and get a quick score off a made Wyoming basket.

Six of those steals came from guards Donovan Dent and Tru Washington, who had three each. They also led the Lobos in scoring, with Dent finishing with 20 points and Washington with 15.

Even though Dent had 20 points, it was a bit of an off night for him. He shot 7-19 from the field and missed all three of his 3-point attempts.

“He may not have been as great (because) they were playing off other guys,” Pitino said.

The Cowboys would constantly pack the lane and allow for more outside shots, while not allowing Dent and others to get to the rim effectively.

Love in the Archives highlights the Center for Southwest Research’s vast collections

On Thursday, Feb. 13, the Center for Southwest Research & Special Collections hosted the sixth annual Love in the Archives event at the Frank Waters Room in Zimmerman Library.

This year, the theme was “Then and Now.”

Portia Vescio, the university archivist at the CSWR, co-organizes Love in the Archives. The theme explored the progression of time, she said.

One of the collections on display was a group of archival materials related to the life and work of American artist Wilson Hurley. The renowned landscape painter frequently depict-

The Associated Students at the University of New Mexico voted on 12 appropriations requests from student organizations and elected a new president pro tempore during its full senate meeting Wednesday, Feb. 12.

This was the second election for the president pro tempore position in three months.

In 2023, Hurley’s widow Rosalyn Roembke Hurley donated a collection of items from his long career as a painter to the CSWR. These include brochures from retrospectives of Hurley’s work and initial sketches. A laptop at the event showed a website containing images of all of Hurley’s paintings.

Another exhibit traces the evolution of UNM’s library, from one room in Hodgin Hall when the University opened in 1892 to the construction of Zimmerman Library in the 1930s and subsequent expansions and renovations.

The title previously belonged to Bailey Rutherford, who was elected over Josiah Ward during the final fall 2024 meeting. Both senators have since resigned from the assembly. Ward had been appointed S&R Committee chair after the previous chair, Jackson Zinsmeyer, vacated his seat.

The senate approved the National Society of Black Engineers’ appropriations request after last semester’s request was capped due to funding rules.

NSBE was among five organizations that were awarded more funding than originally approved by the Finance Committee — often for conference attendance and travel fees. Leaders from each organization, including the World Affairs Delegation, ASUNM Student Court, Small Satellite Group

and SCRAP Productions, spoke during public comment or through a senator in dedicated remarks.

The senate passed these and all other appropriations requests by a vote of 18-0-0-1, with the exception of SCRAP Productions’ request. Sen. Nicholas Romero abstained from voting, citing a belief that extra funding should be reserved for organizations that send representatives in person to advocate for the increase.

These remarks were rebuked by Sen. Gonzales, who spoke with SCRAP’s representative after they arrived at the meeting too late for public comment, and said she disagreed with the notion that every organization could spare the time to make it to a senate meeting in the first place.

During the first discussion for a request from a group advocating for

extra funding, Montoya expressed concern about the precedent the senate could set by repeatedly subverting the finance committee’s recommendations. However, she never voted or advised against any of the motions to increase funding beyond said recommendations from her committee.

Other organizations that were awarded funding by the senate included Alpha Omega Albuquerque, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Mock Trial UNM, the Bangladeshi Student Association, the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers, Phi Iota Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Hindu YUVA.

While a single bill was also brought to the meeting, it was inundated with questions and suggestions during the discussion. The bill ultimately

failed after a recommendation by Attorney General Hilaria Barragan that it be tabled for the appropriate edits to be made. The bill, sponsored by newcomer Sen. Britten Ratcliff, would have moved the cultural director position from its current place in Student Special Events to ASUNM Community Experience.

Vice President Mutazz Jaber said after the vote that it was the senators’ responsibility to work with Ratcliff and the S&R Committee to make their comments in discussion a reality.

ASUNM’s next full senate meeting is on Feb. 26.

OPINION: Bobbleheads of the week — Super Bowl edition

@kubiakizabella

In a Super Bowl stunner, the Kansas City Chiefs were thrashed around by a suffocating Philadelphia Eagles defense that clipped their hopes for a three-peat with a 40-22 loss.

The Chiefs grossly underestimated a brutal Eagles roster, and on the world stage, the Eagles shut down the Chiefs’ offense and dominated their defense.

Great success doesn’t come without a losing team, and sometimes athletes jeopardize their team’s chances. These athletes are favorably called bobbleheads.

Here are two Chiefs bobbleheads who inadvertently helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes’ misfires

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, typically the Chiefs’ offensive maestro, found himself orchestrating a symphony of errors.

The Eagles’ defense turned the Super Bowl stage into the team’s personal playground, sacking Mahomes six times and forcing two interceptions, one of which was a pick-six.

Mahomes’ music scraped the eardrums of Chiefs fans alike, singing a sad tune after the quarterback went 6-of-14 for 33 yards at the end of the first half.

In the second half, Mahomes made a disappointing attempt at a comeback in the late fourth

quarter, clawing his way to a 4022 defeat for the Chiefs. This came after the Eagles confidently started their back-ups and drenched Head Coach Nick Sirianni in Gatorade with two minutes left on the clock.

Travis Kelce’s vanishing act Tight end Travis Kelce, usually Mahomes’ reliable partner-in-crime, was more like “Where’s Waldo?” than a playmaker. He managed a meager four receptions for 39 yards, a far cry from his usual game-changing performances.

Critics pounced when, during a crucial third-quarter play, Kelce appeared to stand idly by as Mahomes scrambled under pressure, leading to accusations of throwing in the towel. The score at the time was 27-0.

Kelce’s lackluster performance left a “Blank Space” on the field and resulted in stunted offensive schemes from the Chiefs.

While the Chiefs’ dynamic duo stumbled, the Eagles’ defense delivered a masterclass, effectively clipping the wings of Kansas City’s high-flying offense and securing a decisive victory.

Maybe next year the Chiefs can “Shake It Off” and hold their breath for their next meeting in Kansas City during the 2025-26 regular season.

Ballet Folklórico de México de Amalia Hernández comes to Popejoy Hall

@lchapa06 & @paloma_chapa88

On Friday, Feb. 14, Popejoy Hall was filled with colorful costumes, lively music and passionate dancers as Ballet Folklórico de México de Amalia Hernández performed for one night in Albuquerque before returning to Mexico City.

The world-renowned dance group traveled to New Mexico and shared its artistry of traditional song and dance, celebrating Mexican culture and heritage. The group performed at the Lensic Performing Arts Center in Santa Fe on Feb. 12 before its Valentine’s Day performance at the University of New Mexico.

The performance and choreography exhibited traditional Folklorico dances from throughout the country and celebrated precolonial Mesoamerican cultures, according to a Popejoy press release.

The show started with an homage to the Mayans and included other moments from Mexico’s history, including “La Danza del Venado,” or The Deer Dance, and Las Adelitas, which is the name given to female soldiers who fought during the Mexican revolution.

The state of Veracruz was represented by dancers passionately striking their shoes in a “zapateado” dance on a wooden platform, their feet rhythmically in sync to cheerful Veracruz harp music. The stage was filled with move-

ment as the women swayed in white flowy skirts between men dancing in all-white suits.

“La Danza del Venado” represents the state of Sonora and is recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage, according to the program booklet. The dance is rooted in Indigenous Yaqui and Mayo cultures and is performed as a ritual before hunting expeditions.

The performance features a dancer dressed as a deer who runs and leaps across the stage, accompanied by two dancers dressed as hunters who gracefully circle around the deer to the songs of drums, singing and rattles.

Ballet Folklórico de México was founded by choreographer Amalia Hernández in 1952 and has been performed throughout the world for over 70 years, according to the press release.

“There are nine dances in this program and each is a different historical or mythical reenactment,” the press release reads.

The company continues under the leadership of Hernández’s grandson, Salvador López López, and has earned several awards including the National Arts Award from the Mexican government, the Tiffany Award in New York and Lo Nuestro Excellence Award from the México Unidos Foundation, according to the press release.

Performers occasionally chanted “Viva México,” which never failed to energize the audience.

Some dancers went into the seating area, inviting audience members to dance with

New Mexico author presents on ‘The Holy Doves’ at Wheels Museum

On Saturday, Feb. 15, the Wheels Museum hosted a reading and Q&A session with New Mexico author L.E. Austen. The talk centered on Austen’s 2024 book, “The Holy Doves.”

“The Holy Doves” is an exploration of gender and politics within modern organized religion. As Austen explained, it reimagines the true creator of humans as Inanna, the female counterpart of Jehovah and the feminine side of God.

In the book, Inanna was the one who chose to give humans curiosity and free will. However, when human society went awry, Jehovah wanted to rid the world of humans, but Inanna chose to go behind his back to

save the species with a new Messiah.

The primary story of the novel revolves around Joseph Pirelli and Bria Tanaka, the secret descendants of the first Messiah, aka the Holy Doves. They are pulled into a world of secrets and conflict between two rival Catholic Brotherhoods — the Opus Christos, who seek to kill the Holy Doves, and the Guardians, who seek to protect them.

Austen said the story was a work in progress for almost 25 years that she finished during the COVID-19 lockdown. But some of the first story inspiration came from Austen’s time with the Trappist monks, a secluded Catholic order.

“One day, I was in Vespers, I think, with the monks, and I’m looking at them, and I’m looking at the face of a friend of mine who was a very, very

devout Catholic, and their faces were glowing,” Austen relayed. “They were glowing. And I said to myself, ‘Why can’t I feel like that? Why do I question all of this?’ And all of a sudden, this story just came into my brain.”

The book features strong feminist themes, particularly investigating the role and history of women within the church.

“The women in the book are among the strongest, and underneath create something much better than is above the surface. It is very feminist — you have to take a group that’s value has been somewhat ignored and bring it up to equality,” Austin said.

One quote Austen shared from the book reads, “Where did Christ come from? From God and a woman, man has had nothing to do with him.”

She further added that the book has a timeliness and universality, even beyond the workings of the Catholic Church.

Austen said she’s been asked before by readers: “Is this about church, or is this about politics?”

“The answer is yeah,” Austen said. “This is the same kind of behavior from the powerful, be it in the church or in government. This is not a new thing that has happened.”

Austen explains that “The Holy Doves” is an important story now more than ever, given the actions of the powerful on a global scale.

“We’re in a real crust,” Austen said. “This is what’s going on right now, not only here, but in Gaza, in Ukraine, everywhere — it’s reliving this over and over, and we have to stand up and do something about it, and that may be

just our internalization of realizing what’s right and wrong and pushing toward love of each other.”

She hopes the book serves as a jumping off point for people to reflect deeply on their beliefs and spirituality and relationship with higher power, she said.

“You can’t have someone else tell you what that relationship is supposed to be,” Austen said. “It has to be something you develop within yourself, and so that is the whole focus of the book — to make you question who you are and how you relate and how you feel and what you need to do.”

AI-generated art is only the newest form of a decades-old concept.

Attendees were invited to vote for which AI-generated image was their favorite. Vescio also included one of the Art1 images in the contest, which was the most popular with library patrons.

Other displays included a set of first edition New Mexico stamps and a collection of technology from various decades that was used for archival purposes, such as VHS and cassette tapes.

While it received critical acclaim, the miniseries elicited a considerable deal of controversy due to its frank depictions of drug use and Queer life and sex, especially because it was broadcasted on public television. No follow-up series was produced by PBS due to the backlash “Tales of the City” received.

The CSWR has a collection of materials from Albuquerque’s PBS affiliate station KNME, including papers related to the channel’s uncensored airing of “Tales of the City” and its subsequent backlash. These include letters from out-

raged viewers and a petition put together by the American Family Association, which highlighted the material in the show that they deemed “objectionable.”

“If you’re familiar with LGBTQ issues today and you read these letters, it’s disheartening because you’re hearing a lot of the same language (and) the same arguments that you hear today,” Bush said.

On the other hand, some letters came from audience members who recognized the importance of the miniseries and felt represented by it.

Francisco Uviña-Contreras, a professor at the UNM School of Architecture and Planning, attended the performance. He said the show brought back his childhood memories of growing up in Juarez.

“As a Mexican, there’s a level of pride that engulfs you into the music, into your country,” Uviña-Contreras said. “There’s always a connection to history, a connection to Indigenous people, to cosmology … that’s the identity that us Mexicans have.”

a fellow in Latin American Collections at the CSWR, co-curated an exhibit entitled “Love for La Tierra.” Centering around the history of farmworkers’ movements in America, the exhibit drew attention to the continued exploitation of Latin American farmworkers and their varied forms of resistance and community organization.

Prints on display as part of “Love for La Tierra” included protest posters from the 1970s from organizations such as the Fireworks Graphics Collective and the Texas Farm Workers Union. Other pieces come from the Asamblea de Artistas Revolucionarios de Oaxaca, who have pro-

“We wanted to do something relevant to both Latin America and our current time, (as well as) expanding the idea of love,” Campbell said. “We didn’t want to do a superficial romantic love. We wanted to look at the idea of love for place.”
