Cognitive Dissonance In Society, Brittany Fields
Cognitive Dissonance In Society, Brittany Fields
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
This poster illustrates the effects that society and culture have on the psyche and psychology. The difficulty of people trying to function in a society that does not resonate with them can be seen as the root of many mental health problems. I use theories identified with Maslow and Erikson as a way of getting the teachings of psychology more integrated into society. Works of Sylvia Plath, Elizabeth Church, Betty Freidan, and Leon Festinger are used as a way of explaining how unresolved cognitive dissonance has negative effects on people.

Community of Scholars Day—Posters
The historical and current implications of language bias in the education system of the United States. From the Lau v. Nichols (1974) Supreme Court case to the misunderstanding of African American English, this is an issue that is necessary for the education system to evolve and to enable students to reach their full potential.

Engaging Bilingual Students In The Grade Six Classroom, Kathryn Contini
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
In this presentation, I will share my ongoing case study research on factors that support reading motivation and engagement for three emergent bilingual learners (BLS) in my grade six English language arts classes. I will present a variety of information gained through both quantitative and qualitative research methods, and share strategies that been helpful to engaging these sixth graders. Feedback from other practitioners will be solicited.
Emerging Technologies And The Measurement Of Consciousness, Kristin Corona
Emerging Technologies And The Measurement Of Consciousness, Kristin Corona
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
With significant advancements in science and technology, along with increased focus on neuroplasticity, new ways to measure consciousness and changes in consciousness are emerging. Advanced neuroimaging technologies are being succeeded by more holistic methods of gathering data with the use of electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring. The implications are better tools for the scientific community to assess medical conditions and cognitive states as well as higher awareness and integration of consciousness into our everyday lives.

At present, the refugee crisis has elicited varied reactions by individuals, communities, and nations. This poster aims to raise awareness on how a person gains refugee status and is granted resettlement into the United States, and debunk misconceptions about refugees. It also seeks to raise awareness about the diversity within refugee groups that live in the United States. The information presented is a combination of research from online sources, site visits, interviews with refugees, and work experience with refugee communities.

Made In America: The Prison Wage Gap, Jordan Henn-Terhune
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
My poster will be framed around my research paper regarding the prison wage gap, and will offer statistics, excerpts from my work, and visuals such as graphs and pictures. Through my presentation, the audience will learn about what the label “Made in America,” means, the role mass incarceration plays in the oppression of those labeled “criminal,” and the importance of fair wages and education in American prisons to reverse the cycle of poverty, oppression, and legal discrimination.

Renewable Energy Education For A Better World, Nataliya Ryzhenko
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
Alternative Energy is a critical topic in modern education because knowledge of it helps to ensure a cleaner environment and can help people around the world to lead healthier and happier lives. It is our responsibility to teach about renewable power generation. These sources include solar, wind, soil, salt, and wastewater–derived energy.

The Empathy Project: The Importance Of Transitional Bilingual Education Programs, Angela Raimo
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
The audience will learn about the benefit of transitional bilingual education programs as well as the curriculum taught to my first and second grade students. They will also learn the strategies I have implemented to instill empathy and hold expectations for students who are struggling academically and socioeconomically. There will be a large amount of research on transitional bilingual education programs, multicultural teaching practices, multicultural students, and teaching empathy in an elementary school classroom.
Attributes Of First Generation Students Enabling Them To Complete A Baccalaureate Degree, Jackie Masloff
Attributes Of First Generation Students Enabling Them To Complete A Baccalaureate Degree, Jackie Masloff
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
The audience will learn about the barriers faced by first generation college students in their endeavors to complete a four–year degree, and the attributes and traits of these students that I have so far found enable them to do so. The significance of this research is that it can help improve retention rates at the colleges these students attend and, at some point, provide a guide for admissions people to be better able to determine which students are the best fit for their institutions, better enabling these students to graduate.
Global Comparison Of Incarceration: Punitive Versus Rehabilitative Frameworks, Rachel Digangi, Joshua Baldwin
Global Comparison Of Incarceration: Punitive Versus Rehabilitative Frameworks, Rachel Digangi, Joshua Baldwin
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
Inspired by an internship at Billerica House of Corrections, I have found interest in conducting research on the different frameworks used for incarceration across the world. I am focusing on comparing the recidivism rates between rehabilitative and punitive prison systems. Especially in countries that have decriminalized drugs, the treatment component has been enhanced tremendously. Their success in rehabilitation forces us to question if our system is truly a broken system; reinforcing our concept of stereotypical “criminal behavior.”
More Than This: A Creative Space For Healing And Community, Stormy Saint-Val
More Than This: A Creative Space For Healing And Community, Stormy Saint-Val
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
This project explores the outcomes of utilizing creative expression as a tool to enhance critical thought within communities on the attitudes towards sexual abuse and its victims. The ability for survivors of sexual abuse to share their complex stories of experiencing sexual violence and the aftermath invites survivors to cultivate understanding, healing, and resilience. It invites individuals to gain perspective on sexual trauma while illustrating to survivors that their community supports them.

Are Highly Sensitive People More Conscious Of Environmental Harm?, Samantha Sheppard
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
I will present my honors psychology capstone study on sensory processing sensitivity and its role in pro–environmental behavior. This study weaves the worlds of evolutionary psychology, personality psychology, and environmental activism to explore the role of personality type on behavior. Through this study, I hope to further the research being done on sensory processing sensitivity and provide new insight on the intersection of evolutionary psychology and ecopsychology.
Preventing Aftershocks: A Multidisciplinary Exploration Of Gender–Based Violence, Molly Pistrang
Preventing Aftershocks: A Multidisciplinary Exploration Of Gender–Based Violence, Molly Pistrang
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
This session explores how experiences as a gender–based violence research intern with the Lesley Women’s Center and the development of an installation that examines the after–effects of sexual assault provide the genesis of my master’s thesis: a multidisciplinary, data driven course for middle school students on healthy relationships and consent. This course, tailored to diverse cultural contexts, provides relevant and appropriate prevention programming that promotes the inclusion and empowerment of all voices, especially those of underserved populations.
Health Care Standards For Incarcerated Women In Massachusetts, Beth Williams-Breault
Health Care Standards For Incarcerated Women In Massachusetts, Beth Williams-Breault
Community of Scholars Day—Posters
The general health care disparities among incarcerated women are vast, although when women are imprisoned, they gain a constitutional right to health care that doesn’t exist outside of prison. However, no federal government body has established national standards for medical care in prisons. This research project serves as a public health policy memo to the Bureau of Child, Adolescent, and Family Health of the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) recommending accreditation standards for county and state correctional facilities for women.
