Gender Performance In Contentious Politics: A Case Study Of The 2020-2021 Protests In Belarus & The 2013-2014 Euromaidan Protests In Ukraine, Darya Maliauskaya

Senior Theses and Projects

This thesis aims to explore women’s participation in contentious politics in post-Soviet Eurasia states. In both Belarus and Ukraine, women were both visible and invisible drivers of demonstrations: attending marches, creating solidarity chains, supporting other protestors, providing medical assistance, participating in peace-keeping, etc. By performing different gender roles and utilizing particular gender symbols, women were able to claim their presence in these protest spaces.

Resurrection Through Community: The Collapse And Rebirth Of Phoenixville, Pa, Julie Pesta

Senior Theses and Projects

Phoenixville, PA was a thriving industrial town located on the Schuylkill River, thirty miles outside of Philadelphia. After almost a century of success in the steel and iron markets, the factory and town suffered great hardship during the deindustrialization of the 1970s and 1980s. The community of Phoenixville had stayed strong throughout social and cultural shifts from the founding of the town, and they knew this era would be another struggle. In the late 1980s, the community and local government banded together and decided that Phoenixville needed a change in identity. No longer able to be an industrial center, Phoenixville …

Foreground And Background: Environment As Site And Social Issue [Pre-Print], Susan Opotow, Jen Jack Gieseking

Faculty Scholarship

To examine how the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) has engaged with environmental issues throughout its 75-year history, we consulted five SPSSI-based data sources.

In SPSSI's early years, social issues research was often situated within specific locales. Since 1960 and the emergence of environmental psychology and the environmental movement, SPSSI increasing focuses on environment as a social issue in its own right as well part of …
