Soul Food And Soul Searching: How The Relationship Between Food In Black Culture And Racialized Beauty Standards Can Lead To Disordered Eating Symptoms In Black Women, Sydni Davis
Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal
Food is an important part of Black culture, expression, and history, but it is often underrepresented in research on eating disorders. Previous research has shown that Black women experience eating disorders comparable to White women when measured using the Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnoses. In light of this, I wanted to know the stories behind women that might exhibit eating disorder symptoms. I used oral histories gathered from three women in my family and autoethnography to amplify the voices of Black women. I found that of my small sample size, 50% felt that they had an unhealthy relationship with food …
Closing The Gap: Documenting Black Women's Involvement In The Integration Of The University Of Mississippi, Brittany Ellis
Closing The Gap: Documenting Black Women's Involvement In The Integration Of The University Of Mississippi, Brittany Ellis
Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal
This paper explores the lack of documentation around the first Black woman to racially integrate the University of Mississippi—Verna Ann Bailey—and the rest of her cohort of the first Black female graduating class of 1968. In doing so, I recount how Black women were consistently and directly involved in political activism and student protests at UM in the years from 1965-1970. The narrative of integration at UM is oftentimes viewed as a singular event that started and ended in 1963—not a fluid and long-lasting effort made possible by the sacrifices and determination of a long list of pioneers.
Queer Politics In Pre And Post Independence Cameroon Through The Lens Of Weberian Political Authority, Logan Baggett
Queer Politics In Pre And Post Independence Cameroon Through The Lens Of Weberian Political Authority, Logan Baggett
Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal
Policy in Cameroon, and on the African continent more generally, is often summarily referred to as the result of neopatrimonial authority. This paper rejects the framework of neopatrimonial authority in Cameroon, applying Weberian notions of charismatic authority to trace the development of queer policy from the pre-colonial period to the present. This paper first analyzes the impact of European colonialism on legal language and then investigates the rhetorical defense of this legal language following independence. Since statehood, the presidencies of Ahmadou Ahidjo (1960 - 1982) and Paul Biya (1982 - ) have implemented selective enforcement of inherited legalisms through near …
By Her Hands: An Analysis Of The Hidden Labor Of Black Women At The Hugh Craft House Site In Holly Springs, Mykayla Williamson
By Her Hands: An Analysis Of The Hidden Labor Of Black Women At The Hugh Craft House Site In Holly Springs, Mykayla Williamson
Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal
This project considers the gap in theorizing the hidden labor of Black women in the seldom-researched setting of urban slavery. The project unearths the hidden labor of Black women by analyzing architectural, primary, and secondary documentary evidence surrounding the urban antebellum Hugh Craft House site in Holly Springs, Mississippi. It draws on household and Black feminist archaeology theories to uncover the hidden labor in the domestic spheres that the enslaved women were actively shaping. Research methods included reviewing archival footage; site visits; examining primary sources; and consulting secondary sources on antebellum households, household archaeology, and Black feminist archaeology. This research …
Watering The Desert: Azraq, Public Opinion, And Environmental Post-Materialism, Wesley A. Gerard
Watering The Desert: Azraq, Public Opinion, And Environmental Post-Materialism, Wesley A. Gerard
Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal
This article focuses on physical, socioeconomic, and political changes in the community of Azraq, Jordan. Azraq, a small town in northeastern Jordan, sits atop a large aquifer that has been heavily pumped by the government for several decades in response to an increasing nationwide demand for water. This has led to large-scale transformations in not only the physical landscape surrounding the aquifer, but also in the daily lives, economic statuses, and political opinions of the people living there. My research thus fits the case of Azraq into larger academic discourse on groundwater governance, resource access, and environmentalism. I use a …
The Gender Differences In Perceived Obscenity Of Vulgar, Profane And Derogatory - Language Usage Among U.S. University Students, Jacqueline Knirnschild
The Gender Differences In Perceived Obscenity Of Vulgar, Profane And Derogatory - Language Usage Among U.S. University Students, Jacqueline Knirnschild
Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal
With the Access Hollywood video of Donald Trump and the “This Pussy Fights Back” response by women, societal standards toward gender-specific language and appropriate conversation topics have become center-stage in our society. The concept that “boys will be boys” normalize vulgar conversations between men, whereas women who “swear like sailors” are seen by society as unprofessional, to have bad manners, limited vocabulary and to be seeking attention or “trying to be like one of the boys”. Such stigmas, although aim to make the perspectives of so-called “unladylike” women obsolete and invisible, may actually end up doing the complete opposite by …
Syrian Crisis Representation In The Media: The Cnn Effect, Framing, And Tone, Savannah S. Day
Syrian Crisis Representation In The Media: The Cnn Effect, Framing, And Tone, Savannah S. Day
Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal
Over the past seven years of the Syrian Civil War, Syrian refugees have been painted in a negative light by news media outlets around the world. History of media coverage regarding global humanitarian crises shows that with various tools and processes, media can shape public opinion and policy in whichever direction it desires, and oftentimes policymakers and the public are quick, as well as emotional, to react. In this paper, my objectives are to analyze specific examples of this CNN Effect phenomena within news coverage of the Syrian refugee crisis, as well as generally explain the negatively correlating relationship between …
The Case For Contraceptives: The Legislative History Of The Aca’S Birth Control Mandate, Julia Grant
The Case For Contraceptives: The Legislative History Of The Aca’S Birth Control Mandate, Julia Grant
Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal
This paper seeks to outline the legislative and judicial history of the Affordable Care Act’s contraception coverage mandate. It begins by explaining the justifications and specifications of the provision. It then highlights the three phases of litigation that have surrounded the mandate: closely held, for-profit companies; religious nonprofit organizations; and state attorney generals. This paper provides context for the litigation by describing the opposing stances towards the mandate of the Obama and Trump Administrations and the different modifications to the provision made under each administration. In the wake of last week’s finalization of the controversial rules the Trump Administration issued, …
