This thesis examines the United States’ international humanitarian voluntourism industry. Four organizations are studied from various realms of aid, these organizations include the Peace Corps, United Planet, Break Away, and Cru and their humanitarian ministry, Unto. Key themes that are relevant to all the organizations studied are defined and interpreted. These organizations’ training efforts to promote ethical voluntourism are closely examined and critiqued. Finally, several improvements are suggested at the end of this thesis that serve as suggestions for ways in which the voluntourism industry can improve their partnerships with their host communities.

Since this is the first time in U.S. history that women have such a significant presence in the defense field, it is important to analyze and understand the changes that can come as a result.
The purpose of this research is to broadly understand the impact that …

Teaching Archaeology With Inclusive Pedagogy, Maxine H. Oland
Teaching Archaeology With Inclusive Pedagogy, Maxine H. Oland
Journal of Archaeology and Education
Introductory archaeology courses are attractive general education offerings at many colleges and universities, and teach students about human diversity in the past and present. Yet many professors struggle to manage the tremendous diversity within the classroom. This article incorporates inclusive pedagogy models, particularly Universal Design for Learning and Teaching Across Cultural Strengths, to propose an inclusive model of education in archaeology classes. An emphasis is placed on large introductory lecture classes, where many students are exposed to academic archaeology for the first time.

Sixty-three undergraduate students in a social studies methods class were each assigned a persona doll for the semester whose background differed from their own. Each was charged with becoming the advocate for the child, represented by the doll, by telling informed stories that would help other students better understand a level of diversity beyond what they knew from their own lives.
