This study aims to investigate cultural content as well as to find out students' perceptions and interests in cultural content in English textbooks of grade 7 junior high school. The research method applied in this study is a qualitative method in which the researcher conducts research by means of book analysis and interviews. The results revealed that in the English textbook "English Starter Interactive Book" grade 7 junior high school there is cultural content in accordance with the grand theory used, namely the first theory by Cortazzi and Jin (1999) about a good textbook must have 3 characters, including Source Culture, Target Culture and International Culture. The second theory by Adaskou, Britten & Fahsi (1990) about cultural content materials can be represented by four cultural frameworks, namely Aesthetic Sense, Sociological Sense, Pragmatic Sense and Semantic Sense. The results of the study further revealed that with the positive perceptions by students about cultural content in the English textbook "English Starter Interactive Book" grade 7 junior high school, the researchers also concluded that students were interested in learning cultural content in the book.

As the workforce becomes increasingly diverse and organizations elevate their efforts to address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), it is critical to engage in a deeper investigation of the experiences of multicultural individuals at work. In this qualitative study, nine multicultural individuals were interviewed using a sociological lens to gain their perspective on the relationship between their identity and their work ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank my family, friends, mentors, and all the wonderful people who guided, supported, challenged, and motivated me along the way. A heartfelt thanks to all of those who are and have been a part of the Bill & Melinda Gates Millennium Scholars Program, which provided me with generous support that allowed me to achieve this level of study.

We are already in the middle of a very cold winter semester looking forward anxiously for spring to be here. These are interesting times for family division members. The recession, which we hope is not the precursor to a full depression, has caused so many people to downsize and reevaluate super-sized lifestyles that we can expect big changes in the structure and function of the family. A Black family has moved into the White House. California has legally married thousands of same sex couples and now contemplates divorcing them whether they want to or not, surely changing the meaning of family, marriage, and divorce. Military families must maintain the tensions of pride, altruism, fear and poverty. We can look forward to exciting discussions about all this and more at our meetings in San Francisco this summer.

NCDs are, for example, cancer, heart diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes. These are statistically shown to be the leading cause of death in the world. By 'attacking' these, the assumption is that by better managing these conditions, the risk from COVID-19 will be reduced. pandemic; an empirical calculus of the threat of infection, illness and death for individuals. But these analyses ignore an even wider context -the politics of life -espoused through reactions to the accentuated assemblage of threats. The dissemination of scientific expertise, but also questioning thereof, brought fundamental aspects of biopolitics to the surface and made them visible in the old, renewed and innovative responses to what became known as 'the pandemic'. The contributions in this special issue draw attention to this wider biopolitical context and show how much more than just the virus was implicated during and after the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic, (or syndemic), has attracted rich debate on how life could and should be best ordered and vitalized in practice -'managing the virus is about managing people' 5 and interspecies relations. It is also a debate that has renewed theoretical interest in Foucauldian biopolitics, reaching scholars who were previously unfamiliar with the biologization of life and its changing historical expressions. Similar to previous cases of epidemic and pandemic threats, knowledge about the outbreak in 2020 mainly targeted human connectivity conceived as a matter of life and death. And when threats in any form rapidly flow through the population, so does the quest for new knowledge coupled with innovative ways of governing oneself and others. Depending on geographical positions and epidemiological preferences, the regulation of life via science, statistics and responsibility did, with COVID-19, not only diffuse logistically, motivated by biological longevity with racist implications, 6 but also opened up for ideas of future bodies and an expanded administration of life on a planetary scale. If the 'right to health' 7 originally demanded biopolitical intervention in the form of novel technologies of power that were flexible, economical and alluring enough, responses to COVID-19 have been suggested to permeate both discipline and sovereignty to remould and enforce them anew. 8 In India, for example, the government response often sought to victimize the poor, 9 and migrant workers became the necessary casualties in the effort to portray the impression of quick and 'strong' leadership. The migrants were forced to walk back home, to a domestic sphere, often hundreds of miles, going unfed and untreated during the hurriedly imposed lockdown. 10 Some of them were killed by heavy vehicles while walking, and how many 5

In particular, we will now be bringing out three issues per year -April / May, August / September, and late December -with each issue including six or seven texts. This format will allow for greater modularity in the treatment of the themes, and a more flexible reflection of research projects in psychoanalysis in progress.
