An Attachment Style Based Experimental Design To Maximize Dog Adoption Success, Claire Weinman
An Attachment Style Based Experimental Design To Maximize Dog Adoption Success, Claire Weinman
Senior Projects Fall 2015
Evolution and domestication have brought dogs very close to humans. Research has found numerous behavioral, cognitive, neurological, and physiological similarities between the two species. Additional research has found that humans and dogs can share cross-species attachments that are comparable to mother-infant attachments. Furthermore, attachment styles in dogs are classified the same way they are in children. The statistics on the vast amount of dogs in animal shelters, too many of which are being senselessly killed, are shocking. I propose a two-part study that first assesses which attachment style pairings are most successful and which are unsuccessful based on measurements of …
Siddhartha's Smile: Schopenhauer, Hesse, Nietzsche, Benjamin Dillon Schluter
Siddhartha's Smile: Schopenhauer, Hesse, Nietzsche, Benjamin Dillon Schluter
Senior Projects Fall 2015
In this project, I argue that Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha can be read as an attempted reconciliation the antithetical worldviews of Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche. The first two chapters show that the figures of Gotama and Siddhartha represent Schopenhauerian and Nietzschean worldviews, respectively. The third chapter analyzes the smile as a symbol used to reconcile Siddhartha and Gotama. In the fourth and final chapter, I investigate Hesse’s development of symbol of the smile in relation to his engagement with Chinese philosophy, specifically Taoism, a tradition of thought based on the ultimate reconciliation of apparent opposites.

The Lens Of Language, Eli Ridley Segal
The Lens Of Language, Eli Ridley Segal
Senior Projects Fall 2015
This project seeks to contextualize the iconic philosophical questions regarding skepticism, object existence, perception, and emotion, within the discourse of ordinary language philosophy. Aided by Wittgenstein, Austin, and Cavell, I argue for the non existence of objects-in-themselves. This provides the scaffolding for an examination of perception and emotion unhindered by a reliance on, or appeal to, the so-called 'objective world.' Recognizing the influence exerted by language over our conscious experience, I argue for an ordinary-language formulation of embodied cognition. With this in mind, I demonstrate the philosophical implications of such a picture through the canonical problem of 'other minds.' Ultimately …
The World Through Your Eyes: An Analysis Of Spike Jonze's Her, Thatcher Kupple Snyder
The World Through Your Eyes: An Analysis Of Spike Jonze's Her, Thatcher Kupple Snyder
Senior Projects Fall 2015
The skeptical concerns of Spike Jonze's Her mirror those of Stanley Cavell's, representing a cinematic adaptation of his therapeutic analysis of philosophical skepticism. Her addresses the loneliness of the skeptic, and demonstrates a way by which one can pacify, or better understand, the skeptical impulse.

Phyro: Exploring An Untethered Model For Robots In Cs-1, Philip Franchi-Pereira
Phyro: Exploring An Untethered Model For Robots In Cs-1, Philip Franchi-Pereira
Senior Projects Fall 2015
Robots are becoming more popular, both industrially and commercially. As new robots are created, designers must choose whether to tether to a primary computer. Many robots used in an introductory computing context, like the Scribbler robot and Fluke attachment, are tethered. Untethering educational robots is the next step in improving the way robots are used in CS-1. This project aims to demonstrate the advantages of untethered robots, using the Scribbler robot and Fluke singleboard computer attachment as a model. We developed the Phyro library to make programming an untethered Scribbler and Fluke easier for students. By comparing program performance and …

Gaussian Cosmology: A New Model For The Accelerated Expansion Of The Universe, Brian Robert Neils Strigel
Gaussian Cosmology: A New Model For The Accelerated Expansion Of The Universe, Brian Robert Neils Strigel
Senior Projects Fall 2015
In this paper I lay the groundwork for an alternative model for the contemporary expansion of the universe. The current model states that the universe is growing exponentially due to the vacuum of space pulling on it. This model states that the growth rate of the universe is linear in time. However in 1998, researchers suggested that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating. This means the universe is not expanding logarithmically, not linearly. In my model, I lay the groundwork for future research and suggest that the universe develops in time in accordance to a Gaussian scale factor …

Attitudes And Intentions Towards A Novel Male Contraceptive: A Health Belief Model Approach, Aisha Saliha King
Attitudes And Intentions Towards A Novel Male Contraceptive: A Health Belief Model Approach, Aisha Saliha King
Senior Projects Fall 2015
Unintended pregnancy is a serious problem that can result in a host of negative consequences for parents and children. A new long-acting reversible contraceptive could increase male contribution to family planning, and thus reduce the high rates of unintended pregnancy seen today. Vasalgel is one such contraceptive that is currently being developed in the United States. The current study used the Health Belief Model (HBM), with additional variables of interpersonal factors and social norms, as a basic framework to investigate men’s attitudes towards and willingness to use Vasalgel. In the context of this study, the HBM suggests that behavior is …

Black Hollywood: The Stereotypes, Erasure, And Social Inclusivity Of Black Entertainers In Hollywood, 1930-60s, Jalen Thomas Robinson
Black Hollywood: The Stereotypes, Erasure, And Social Inclusivity Of Black Entertainers In Hollywood, 1930-60s, Jalen Thomas Robinson
Senior Projects Fall 2015
The purpose of my senior thesis paper involves the racial politics concerning the presence of African-American entertainers in Hollywood cinema. I will note the changes over time in how black entertainers-- whether they are musicians, dancers, singers, and actors--were typecast in stereotypical roles that defined how black culture would be represented. The beginning of my timeline starts with the limited opportunities applied to black talent on screen during the Great Depression in the 1930s, the social destabilization during World War II and the integration policies and awareness of racism as a social issue throughout the 1950s-1960s. More importantly, I will …
