Pisa: Behind The Headlines And Past The Rankings, Sue Thomson, Chris Wardlaw
2009 - 2019 ACER Research Conferences
Whenever the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) are announced, media headlines are full of reports about rankings, about how many countries Australia is outperformed by and outperforms. In early rounds of PISA, Australia ranked among the top 10 countries across all three education domains assessed. However, over time Australia’s position has declined, rather than improved, and Australia no longer sits in the top 10 of any of the assessed domains. This presentation will go behind the headlines and past the rankings, to look at where Australia has declined, and look at how we can improve outcomes …
The Relationship Between Gender And Perceived Stress Levels In College Students, Meghan Gilbert
The Relationship Between Gender And Perceived Stress Levels In College Students, Meghan Gilbert
Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
Previous research on stress in adults demonstrates that stress, even perceived stress, can take a toll on an individual’s health.

The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a difference between the stress levels of male and female college students and, if so, whether there is another factor involved that can account for this difference. The participants consisted of students attending Brigham Young University who were also active members of The Church …
The Construction Of Gender Through Man Ray's Le Violon D'Ingres, Louise Strandoo
The Construction Of Gender Through Man Ray's Le Violon D'Ingres, Louise Strandoo
Scholars Week
This paper works to deconstruct the performance of gender created in Man Rays’ famous 1924 Photograph, Le Violon d’Ingres.

I analyze the semiotic codes of violins and amputation to conceptualize how audiences decode the model in the photograph to be female and the image to be surreal. By offering an intersectional reading of this text, I encourage audiences to consider how photographic images hail specific representations of identity. I conclude by emphasizing the importance of the material body and argue that …
The Effect Of Androgynous Clothing On Male Expressions Of Masculine Gender, Cassandra Walsh
The Effect Of Androgynous Clothing On Male Expressions Of Masculine Gender, Cassandra Walsh
Scholars Week
Gender expression is a fluid combination of verbal and non-verbal communication and an essential element of individual identity. Clothing selection and personal style is perhaps the most immediately recognizable form of gender expression. Since the establishment of androgyny as a distinct gender identity and cultural symbol of modernity over the last century, clothing options have become much more homogeneous. This research explores the behaviors and attitudes held by masculine males in response to the use of traditionally masculine clothing items for female gender expression. I interviewed six males between the ages of 8 and 64 living in the Bellingham area …
