Reference excerpt

Norma Guillard Limonta is a Cuban social psychologist and adjunct lecturer at the University of Havana. She is a co-founder of Grupo Oremi, a now defunct lesbian discussion group in Cuba. Her academic works borders on gender, sexuality, race and identity. Guillard is a foundation member of the Cuban branch of La Articulacion Regional de Afrodescendientes de Latinoamerica y el Caribe, a joint regional discussion group composed of individuals of African descent in Latin America and the Caribbean. She appeared as one of the protagonists in Catherine Murphy's documentary, Maestra about the Cuban Literacy Campaign.

Life Guillard's spent her childhood in Santiago de Cuba. She participated in the Cuban Literacy Campaign when she was 16. In 1993, Guillard joined Magin, an association of professional women media communicators and worked with the organization as a public relations specialist before it was closed down. The organization worked to create awareness about gender equality and gender bias in the media and to challenge negative images of women in the media. Her work for Magin led her to write articles about sexuality and feminism. She was later approached by Mariela Castro of National Centre for Sex Education to organize a group of Cuban lesbians which was called OREMI. Oremi, the Cuban Multidisciplinary Society for the Study of Sexuality and the National Centre for Sex Education organized a symbolic same-sex marriage in 2007, the first-ever in the country to be recognized by the government. In 2016, Guillard did an interview with BBC World Service in which she described her life as a single, lesbian mother during the Cuban Revolution.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Norma Guillard

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Norma Guillard claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Norma Guillard before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Norma Guillard ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Norma Guillard

In research: Norma Guillard appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Norma Guillard in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Norma Guillard is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 20th-century Cuban LGBTQ people, 21st-century Cuban LGBTQ people, Academic staff of University of Havana, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Norma Guillard outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
