“…For example, the use of prisoners as study participants in the Guatemala syphilis study is another such example. Similarly, the Japanese Imperial Army tested biological weapons on prisoners and those experiencing mental illness in Unit 731 including exposure to the bubonic plague, cholera, and botulism (Nie et al, 2013).…”

Given the adverse impact of stigma on efforts to increase access to health care services (e.g., HIV screening and care, mental health), it is imperative that researchers not further stigmatize their study participants. The history of unethical research on marginalized communities necessitates careful consideration for researchers who hope to address issues of stigma among historically marginalized groups. This article will provide a guide to research conceptualization and an exploration of ethical considerations to minimize stigmatizing experiences for vulnerable populations participating in qualitative research. The authors aim to inform and prepare qualitative researchers for the complexities of conceptualizing and implementing research among communities experiencing stigma. The article will include a discussion of potential biases, positionality and reflexivity, possible ethical dilemmas, and participatory methodologies, as well as provide recommendations for specific safeguards that may be appropriate for studying minority populations using examples from previous qualitative research with vulnerable and stigmatized communities.

Japanese Modernism at a "Branch Point": On the Museum of Modern Art, Hayama's 1937 Exhibition

This article frames the Museum of Modern Art, Hayama's 2017 exhibition on Japanese modernism during the simultaneously vibrant and tumultuous 1930s through the lens of Japan's uneven capitalist development and wartime mobilization. The author suggests that the exhibition's unique international scope, rich selection of figurative and abstract modernist works, and emphasis on the year 1937 as a nexus through which the decade's competing tendencies can be reevaluated readily disclose the constitutive, dialectical relationships between historical difference, total war, and modernist form in imperial Japan and its colonies. The exhibition's featured works and curator Asaki Yuka's direction together emphasized the inseparability of Japanese modernism from the encroaching conditions of world war during the late 1930s, thereby contributing to a growing body of scholarship and series of exhibitions challenging the received oppositions between autonomous modernism, proletarian realism, and wartime propaganda. After introductory remarks on the reassessment of 1930s-era Japanese avant-garde aesthetics, the article provides a series of close readings of significant paintings included in the exhibition, including Murai Masanari's 1937 Urban, Matsumoto Shunsuke's 1935 Building, and Uchida Iwao's 1937 Port. These formal readings explore how the year 1937 marked a pivotal "branch point" for Japanese society, not only in terms of the confluence of various artistic trends but also in terms of the fierce opposition between socialism and fascism that bifurcated potentialities for Japan's future.

Effective Reparation for the Guatemala S.T.D. Experiments: A Victim-Centered Approach

Discussion of reparations for U.S.-Guatemala STD experiments of the 1940s and 50s should be informed by a range of international and U.S. reparation experiences, so that features that impair the effectiveness of repair are avoided, and features that enhance effectiveness of repair are emulated. Two features have contributed to the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of repair elsewhere but have not been critically examined in relation to the Guatemalan experiments: Whether experimental subjects or their families have the opportunity to participate in reparations processes, and whether any group of experimental subjects is intentionally denied recognition. Three advantages of victim participation are explored, and a critique provided of one narrow delimitation of victims. Even if political and moral failings ultimately prevent reparations for Guatemalan experimental subjects, an emphasis on effectiveness and victim-centeredness should nonetheless shape reparations for other, future victims of human rights abuses in experimentation.
