The Violence Induced By Climate Change: An Evolving Controversy, Josephine Kurdziel
The Violence Induced By Climate Change: An Evolving Controversy, Josephine Kurdziel
Senior Theses
Climate-induced violence has become more prominent and scrutinized in research, media, and discussion in the last decade with the emergence of new patterns of violence.

Islamophobia In America, Marina Rebecca Poudret

To accomplish this, I examine the particular methodology and characterization of these attacks among major cable networks— CNN and Fox News— to understand the overall narrative understood by the average American. I then analyze the political speeches delivered by Donald Trump after …
