J. Stanion’s Novel My Place Among Them Named Finalist in the 2023 Goethe Book Awards
United States, 25th Sep 2024, –
My Place Among Them, the debut novel by J. Stanion, has been named a finalist in the 2023 Goethe Book Awards for Post-1750s Historical Fiction. This competition, part of the Chanticleer International Book Awards (CIBAs), recognizes outstanding works of historical fiction set after the 1750s. The novel, based on a manuscript written by Stanion’s great-grandfather, has garnered attention for its portrayal of the challenges faced by Indigenous peoples during the U.S. government’s Indian Education program.
The Goethe Book Awards are named after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a key figure of the Enlightenment, and highlight books that explore significant historical periods. My Place Among Them tells the story of John Iron Horse, a twelve-year-old survivor of the Wounded Knee Massacre who is forced to attend a government-run boarding school. The novel follows his journey as he tries to preserve his Lakota culture while being subjected to policies aimed at assimilating Indigenous children. It also explores the evolving relationship between John and his teacher, Carter Heath, a white man who becomes an advocate for his Native American students.
In an exclusive interview, J. Stanion highlighted her commitment to preserving cultural histories. “Cultural identity has intrinsic value,” she stated, emphasizing how diverse traditions help societies survive and thrive. She also shared how facing criticism, such as being labeled “woke,” challenged her but reinforced her dedication to telling stories that promote cultural understanding.
Sylvia Leclair’s article titled “Rural Roots, Rich Stories: How J. Stanion’s Farming Life Influences Her Writing,” she looks into how J. Stanion’s life on her South Carolina farm shapes her storytelling. This connection to rural life extends beyond mere setting—it impacts her cultural and narrative perspective. The parallels she draws between farming and storytelling highlight a cultural resonance in her work. Stanion reflects, “The patience required for tending to animals mirrors the care I put into crafting my narratives.” This approach infuses her writing with the grounded, resilient qualities she experiences daily on the farm. Stanion explains, “The physicality of farm chores, the changing seasons, and the rhythms of nature ground my stories in something tangible.”
In another interview, J. Stanion emphasized the importance of cultural representation in her work, saying, “I believe that most people have a deep respect for the people who lived on this continent prior to the white man’s arrival. However, they’ve only heard or read the stories of battles and massacres and the fight for possession of the land. Many of the people I’ve met through my book bought it because they wanted to know more.” She continued, “I made a point of purchasing relatively recently published books written by Indigenous authors as reference materials. Thankfully, more of those are becoming available because they offer a new perspective on the history I was taught.”
In an article titled “J. Stanion’s Connection to Cultural Heritage in My Place Among Them,” Glenn Prior looks into how J. Stanion’s deep-rooted connection to cultural history profoundly shapes her work. Prior highlights that Stanion’s novel is not just a historical account but a personal mission to honor her ancestors and their experiences. “Stanion’s great-grandfather’s manuscript provides an authentic basis for My Place Among Them, reflecting a time of profound change and cultural upheaval,” Prior notes. He emphasizes Stanion’s commitment to accurate representation, stating, “Her dedication to respecting Lakota traditions and consulting with tribal elders underscores her respect for cultural heritage.” According to Prior, Stanion’s novel offers more than a narrative; it serves as a poignant tribute to Indigenous resilience and a crucial reminder of the value of cultural identity.
J. Stanion also stated that Pine Ridge Pottery holds significant meaning in her work, offering insight into the resilience of Indigenous peoples. In another interview, she reflected on the role of this pottery in her novel: “The story of Pine Ridge Pottery is a story of the resilience of the Lakota people.”
In addition to becoming a finalist in the Goethe Book Awards, My Place Among Them has received several other recognitions, including the BREW Fiction Book Excellence Award for Political Fiction of the Year 2023 and the BREW Seal of Excellence. The novel has been celebrated for its meticulous research and compelling narrative grounded in historical events.

The Effects of Ashwagandha on Academic Performance, Announced by the Stanford University Sleep Research Institute
United States, 20th Feb 2025, – On January 13, 2024, the Stanford University Sleep Research Institute published study results indicating that ashwagandha can positively affect sleep, thereby boosting students’ academic performance and overall work productivity. According to the study, ashwagandha is often referred to as a natural stress reliever and may have beneficial effects on the human body.
Studies on cognitive enhancement have shown that compared to the non-supplement group, those who took ashwagandha experienced a 51.7% improvement in logical memory and a 17.1% increase in verbal associative memory over an eight-week period. (Intake period: 8 weeks / Choudhary, D., Bhattacharyya, S., & Bose, S. (2017). Efficacy and safety of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal) root extract in improving memory and cognitive functions. Journal of dietary supplements, 14(6), 599-612.)
Ashwagandha is a natural plant that has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. In recent years, its various health benefits have been scientifically studied, aligning with the findings of this research. It is particularly known for reducing stress, improving sleep, and enhancing cognitive function. One of its key features is that it provides these benefits without adverse side effects.
Stress is known to be one of the factors that hinder learning efficiency. Ashwagandha helps reduce stress and anxiety by lowering cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress. In particular, it has shown remarkable efficacy in improving cognitive function, memory, and concentration. One report suggests that taking ashwagandha twice daily for eight weeks led to significant improvements in general memory, executive function, sustained attention, and information processing speed.
In particular, the compounds withaferin A and withanolide D in ashwagandha are cited as the main factors that help reduce stress and improve cognitive function, both of which contribute to better academic performance. Furthermore, published findings indicate that these compounds are also highly effective in treating insomnia, often viewed as an incurable ailment among students and modern individuals.
Ashwagandha plays a crucial role in regulating various hormones. It helps lower stress levels by reducing cortisol secretion. Additionally, it supports weight management by regulating ghrelin, the hormone responsible for appetite, and leptin, the hormone that signals fullness. and depression by modulating serotonin levels. Finally, it is believed to improve chronic fatigue and lethargy by supporting adrenal function. Through these mechanisms, ashwagandha significantly relieves insomnia.
As a result, ashwagandha’s ability to enhance sleep quality is seen as an important factor in stimulating brain function among growing students. By improving physical condition and relieving stress, it helps create an optimal environment for maximizing concentration and absorbing new information.
A health supplement formulated with L-theanine, magnesium, and ashwagandha first gained attention in Palo Alto, California, a region known for its strong academic culture. It has since expanded its availability across the United States.
In particular, parents in Palo Alto have been spreading the word about the supplement’s ability to reduce stress and enhance learning abilities in students, making it increasingly popular. One parent shared in a local interview, “I noticed a clear improvement in my child’s concentration after he started taking it” and added, “He now takes it consistently every day.”
According to industry sources, the supplement is currently being distributed primarily through major pharmacies in the U.S. and plans to expand into larger retail outlets and online marketplaces in the near future.
