Establishing And Sustaining No-Kill Communities: Best Practices For Animal Services Directors, Kristin R. Barney
Establishing And Sustaining No-Kill Communities: Best Practices For Animal Services Directors, Kristin R. Barney
Theses and Dissertations
The relationship between humans and non-human animals in the United States has evolved from the capturing and impounding of stray livestock found in colonial times to the billion-dollar industry supporting companion animals that exists today (Irvine, 2002; Zawistowski & Morris, 2013). As people's perceptions and attitudes about the treatment of non-human animals have evolved over time, so have the expectations of the organizations that are in place to care for them. A current movement exists to end the killing of healthy and treatable pets within the United States. Known as the no-kill movement, shelter directors and community stakeholders around the …
Best Leadership Practices Of Female Film Directors, Sara Carraway
Best Leadership Practices Of Female Film Directors, Sara Carraway
Theses and Dissertations
Female film directors are highly underrepresented within the U.S. film industry, especially within narrative film (S.L. Smith, Pieper, & Choueiti, 2013). In 2019, only 12% of directors in the top 100 grossing films were female (Lauzen, 2020). There are several obstacles female directors face in their careers. Financing is more difficult to obtain for female directors due to stereotypes of women as risky investments (P. Smith et al., 2013). Closely tied to financing, gendered networks and homophily can prevent women from making relationships with gatekeepers and accessing the same opportunities as men (Jones & Pringle, 2015; Wing-Fai et al., 2015). …

A Phenomenological Study Of Flourishing In Mid-Career Professionals, Sohyun Lee
Theses and Dissertations
