The samples were then objectively and subjectively measured. Volume of bread samples of equal weight …
Reason And Rationality In The Post-Pandemic Era, Jordan Schwanke
Reason And Rationality In The Post-Pandemic Era, Jordan Schwanke
Student Research Symposium
My research investigates human reason and rationality's proper function and role in the Post-Pandemic Era. First, humans can intuit reasons for their beliefs and intuitions. But more importantly, reason is the metarepresentational ability to evaluate the strengths or weaknesses of reasons and arguments. Reason, through the process of evolution, is fundamentally used for justification and argumentation. Second, individuals can summon reason to justify an established moral intuition. Argumentation helps interlocutors self-reflect on political and moral beliefs, opinions, and intuitions, influencing people to change their minds. Third, human reason and rationality are accompanied by internal cognitive limitations: confirmation bias influences the …
The Zionist Mindset: How The Perception Of Israel Pushed Mormonism Toward Apocalypticism, Andrew Barber
The Zionist Mindset: How The Perception Of Israel Pushed Mormonism Toward Apocalypticism, Andrew Barber
Student Research Symposium
Since its very inception, and regardless of sect, the Mormon religious movement has always shared a similar ideology of Millennialism, the belief that Christ is preparing the world and especially Israel, for his imminent return. But especially, the mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has felt a parallel between their religious persecution and exodus to the Salt Lake Valley, and the similar Jewish Exodus and religious persecution both in the Old Testament and during the Holocaust.

Analyzing State Reactions To Panserbjørne Coup: A Case Study In Realism, Athena Dupont, Lyra Belacqua Silvertongue
Student Research Symposium
In a global climate of instability and increasingly volatile political shifts in both election-based and non-election-based governments, it is critical to understand how states react to sudden changes in leadership in other nations. While there are numerous theories that try to account for the decision-making processes on an international scale, few of them withstand application to historical case studies. One such study, the 1990s overthrow of Svalbard's King Iofur Raknison by the disgraced former king Iorek Byrnison, offers unique insight into the reactions of other nations. While the Panserbjørne nation is not generally considered a world power, its regional hegemony …

Personality Based Career Exposure: A Poster Series, Abigail Evans
Personality Based Career Exposure: A Poster Series, Abigail Evans
Student Research Symposium
The idea behind this project is to create a poster series that challenges students to begin thinking and exploring their future in a low pressure way. If the educational system begins introducing ideas of different career paths earlier on, will the transition from late-high school to higher level education and real life be more empowering for students? While this may seem simple, many curriculums deflect different ideas of career decisions until students reach approximately 17-18 years of age or older. This issue could be resolved by posters included in this series passively hanging on a wall for students to contemplate. …
Memento Mori Photography Exhibition, Hailey Larson
Memento Mori Photography Exhibition, Hailey Larson
Student Research Symposium
Artists Statement: I am an artist because art and photography allow me to escape the reality of life and imagine something new. It allows me to see past my own life and into someone else's, whether it be past, present, or future. As a deaf person, I grew up only experiencing half of the world's sound, forcing me to rely heavily on my vision and piece together life around me through visual storytelling. It’s why I think photography piqued my curiosity from such a young age. Because to take a picture is to capture a piece of reality. As I …

Historic Buildings: The Impact On Sustainability And Design, Sierra Stuart
Student Research Symposium
Historic districts or buildings are commonly found in many cities or towns and are often associated with a charming feel, but there is so much more. They hold hidden values and stories that play a role in each space. Historic buildings greatly impact sustainability by reducing material consumption and energy that could have been used to tear down a building and build a new one. Creating a sustainable space may look like restoring windows, adding insulation, and specifying durable furniture and furnishings with the space. When historic buildings are designed with a careful and knowledgeable mind, they can add to …
Why Write The Ride? Exploring Writing In The Bikepacking Community, Zackary Gregory
Why Write The Ride? Exploring Writing In The Bikepacking Community, Zackary Gregory
Student Research Symposium
While bicycle touring generally denotes multi-day trips ridden on paved routes, bikepacking emphasizes riding unpaved roads and narrow single track to out-of-the-way destinations. Bikepackers will often spend all day scrambling up and down rocky mountain trails and desert roads. Many Bikepackers recount their trips on social media, in personal journals and in publications like The Bikepacking Journal. This study investigates the relationship between writing and bikepacking, and considers what bikepackers gain by putting their experiences into words.

The Impact Of Divorce On Children Of All Ages, Mckinsey Watteyne
The Impact Of Divorce On Children Of All Ages, Mckinsey Watteyne
Student Research Symposium
Taking inspiration for the research topic from my own personal experience with my parent’s divorce, I wanted to research the effects of divorce on children of all ages and the connection to the loss of childhood innocence. Tying my research into a quilt, many people, including me, hold onto their childhood quilts well into adulthood. In child psychology, these comfort items are referred to as “transitional objects.” They are items that comfort children as they transition through different phases in life. These transitional objects offer a sense of stability and continuity. They often help children express their emotions and handle …

Not Your Grandma's Kitchen: Recipe Cards In The Digital Age, Emily Powell
Not Your Grandma's Kitchen: Recipe Cards In The Digital Age, Emily Powell
Student Research Symposium
With the rise in popularity of food bloggers and social media chefs, how do recipe cards function in a digital age? Although scholarly literature addresses the history of cooking, little research focuses on the recipe card, its history, and its use. Originally, recipe cards were not intended to be kept or treasured as family heirlooms. They served purely functional purposes, acting as prompts to housewives when cooking meals and later to promote new technology and foods in the culinary industry. Even with the rise of the internet, many hold onto old recipe cards. This study looks at the history and …

Roman Baths And Water Gods: The Syncretic Merging Of Roman Sacrality With Celtic Religion In Britannia, Alexis Hutchinson
Student Research Symposium
As a result of the merging of cultures and religions, the Romans left their mark on Britain, seen in many other provinces throughout Europe. One location that decidedly represents Roman influence is the Roman baths in Bath, England. Not long after the Romans arrived in Britain, they happened upon the underground hot springs, located in the modern-day city center. They settled and built a 'centre of healing and recreation, naming it Aquae Sulis.' (Bath City Council) A particular artifact of the baths, the Gorgon Head from the later first century AD,is situated at the top of a temple pediment. Often …

In Service To The Narrative: The Buried Giant Through A Folklore Lens, Vinn Mcbride
In Service To The Narrative: The Buried Giant Through A Folklore Lens, Vinn Mcbride
Student Research Symposium
Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2016 novel The Buried Giant has a history of causing contention over how it should be read. Literature, fiction, fantasy, historical fantasy, and other forms have all be the jumping off point for many analysts, but this paper argues that perhaps the best way to read this work is as an analysis of Western literary canon and violence through the lens of oral folklore. Using Axel Olrik’s Epic Laws of Folk Narrative or sagenwelt offers insights into how the novel functions as an examination of characters bound up in predestined narratives due to the nature of their original …
