Minimizing Co-Sleeping Disruptions: A Design Intervention, Yining Shi
Minimizing Co-Sleeping Disruptions: A Design Intervention, Yining Shi
Theses - ALL
A recent survey indicates that 30% of adults in the United States sleep separately from their partners because of co-sleep disruptions (Rogojanski et al., 2013). However, research suggests that sleeping together is good for couple relationships (Holt-Lunstad, Smith, & Layton, 2010). While there are many products on the market designed to help individuals with sleep problems, there are few that address co-sleeping problems. This thesis addresses this gap in the market for co- sleeping products by exploring how a design intervention of bedroom furniture can help couples sleep together despite the disruptions to each other. This paper records the design …

Theory And Practice: The Formation And Limitation Of Feminist Scholarship In The Study Of Religion, Hayden Elizabeth Hains
Theses - ALL
My thesis explores the methodological and political im/possibilities opened up by the incorporation of feminist theory and WGS into the study of religion. Drawing on intersectional feminist scholarship, my thesis will be organized around case studies of feminist and womanist scholarship in the study of religion and theological studies in order to examine the history of how feminist theory became institutionalized within the academic study of religion and theology, fields that are both masculine and hierarchical in structure, in order to locate the possible limitations this institutionalization has for creating space for political activism. In addition to religious studies, I …

Celebrating Slow Movement: Design Of A Sensory Experience Through An Intergenerational Platform, Asal Andarzipour
Theses - ALL
This thesis explores the intersections between wisdom, happiness, and aesthetics through intergenerational experiences of older adults and younger individuals. Parallel to this, I have researched the virtues of Slow Cooking, Slow Design, and the Slow Movement to address wellness needs throughout our world. The original solutions explored for balancing these values focused on mindful activities. Case studies of relationships within families in comparison with alternative communities, such as Eco-villages, have guided my research and revealed meaningful efforts that engage individuals with shared environmental and moral values. The final idea that I envisioned is, in essence, a form of sensory experience …

Theses - ALL
Assessment is a critical component in the teaching of writing and plays an important role in discovering and helping to address students’ writing difficulties. Therefore, it is essential for teachers to approach writing assessment in a reliable and valid way. Previous studies showed that assessment rubrics, used as a standard to describe performance evaluation, can help teachers effectively assess student writing. The reliability and validity of the use of rubrics for helping teachers in assessing writing fairly and improving students’ writing ability has received much research attention; however, less attention has been paid to teacher training in the area of …
Control As Multiple Agree, Deniz Satik
Control As Multiple Agree, Deniz Satik
Theses - ALL
This thesis presents a new theory of control in which the control predicate establishes control between PRO and the controller by Agreeing with both of them and checking their semantics at a later point of the derivation. Each DP possesses its own index as a syntactic feature. As the predicate Probes for these two Goals, it keeps track of the indexes of the controllee and controller with the control calculus, a part of the narrow syntax. The calculus is sensitive to the semantics of these nominal phrases after transfer to LF. This derives subject control in (1), which Culicover & …
