An Examination Of Non-Traditional Bridal Wear And Its Primary Consumer, Erica Thalmann, Kristina Dimaria
An Examination Of Non-Traditional Bridal Wear And Its Primary Consumer, Erica Thalmann, Kristina Dimaria
Senior Honors Projects
Bridal wear has traditionally been viewed as big white dresses. But as times change, so do brides’ preferences for bridal wear. Jumpsuits, rompers, short dresses, and other “non-traditional” choices are experiencing an increased demand in the market. Unfortunately, brides who seek these options are often not met with a promising assortment. This study examined primary consumers of non-traditional bridal wear. Specifically, we sought to find out whether women who belong to the LGBTQ community choose to consume more non-traditional bridal wear compared to heterosexual brides. The study also examined through which channels (e.g., online, in store, etc.) consumers predominantly purchase …
The Relationship Between Science And Policy, Michaela Warren
The Relationship Between Science And Policy, Michaela Warren
Senior Honors Projects
Increased human development and its adverse effects on nature require that our society establish new environmental policies to address these. The implementation and/or modification of environmental policies and regulations comes with its challenges. Evidence-based scientific discoveries play a key part in making effective environmental policy. Without access to and transmission of scientific information, environmental mangers and politicians have no basis to support regulatory changes. Similarly, scientists that do not engage with environmental managers and politicians are restricted developing their scholarly findings into active reform. Growth of environmental protection relies on managers, policy makers, and scientists being aware of each other …
Redefining “Success”: Toward A Community Minded Restaurant Industry, Molly Bennett
Redefining “Success”: Toward A Community Minded Restaurant Industry, Molly Bennett
Senior Honors Projects
Restaurants are at the heart of communities across the United States. They contribute to the local culture, provide space for families and neighbors to gather, and help shape the identity of towns, and cities. Restaurants should reflect not just the culture, but the values and priorities of the communities where they are located. Whether it’s in terms of the treatment of their workers, the environmental impact of their daily operations, or the health implications of their food, I believe that restaurants should reflect the values of a community. As a student graduating with a major in supply chain management, my …
Tour Guides Take Technology: Mobilizing The Coverage Process, Cassie Jes Jacob
Tour Guides Take Technology: Mobilizing The Coverage Process, Cassie Jes Jacob
Senior Honors Projects
Technology has progressed more in the past decade than it has in the past century, and it has changed the way we live. To succeed in this society, innovation is a necessity. A recent phenomenon in technology is the use of mobile applications designed to make our lives and daily activities, such as note-taking and scheduling, more convenient.
This project explores the use of mobile applications in a business. At URI, the Tour Guide team acts as a business that manages over 100 employees as they lead visits around campus for prospective students.
These employees are college-age students raised in …
A Process For Field Studies In Behavioral Economics, Victoria Ferraro
A Process For Field Studies In Behavioral Economics, Victoria Ferraro
Senior Honors Projects
Field experiments enable economists to test whether theory adequately captures behavior in natural settings, or whether evidence supports reevaluating the reasoned abstractions comprising the theory. Economics, and social science more generally, has increasingly valued the evidence provided by field studies. These studies typically require a relationship with an external partner site providing the environment for the study, but existent research offers little guidance for developing these relationships and designing procedures for effective collaboration. The purpose of this paper is to provide greater insight into what is necessary to conduct field experiments in economics, particularly behavioral economics in private market settings. …
Rhody's Run For Dana Farber 5k, Mark Albanese, Bryan Poston
Rhody's Run For Dana Farber 5k, Mark Albanese, Bryan Poston
Senior Honors Projects
The event itself was designed to benefit the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. In the early stages of the project, it was clear that a charity event would have the largest impact both on our experiential learning as well as the community as a whole. Dana-Farber was selected as the events beneficiary due to their impressive contributions to cancer research worldwide. While the success of the project isn't solely determined by charitable contributions we collected, it provided a form of measurement of progress throughout the semester. With the goal of simultaneously promoting student health, the event was organized …
Virginia Woolf & Michel Foucault: Methods Of Justice, Elizabeth K. Doré
Virginia Woolf & Michel Foucault: Methods Of Justice, Elizabeth K. Doré
Senior Honors Projects
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is primarily known today as a central British modernist novelist. In addition, she was also an important theorist of power, subjectivity, and ethics, especially as she turned her attention in the 1930s--as fascism spread and intensified across Europe--toward the public sphere in which European women were still then more or less without (easy) access. I read her late novels and essays alongside her diary in order to excavate the theoretical/political/ethical premises of her thought. I contend that she shares with the late thought of French philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-1984) an original conception of ethics. Woolf and Foucault’s …

Bond Volatility Transmissions Between United States and European Markets
Seth Kulman
Faculty Sponsor: Gordon Dash, Finance and Decision Sciences
Recent events have illustrated the degree of connection between the world’s economies. Economic events occurring in one country are felt in countless others, most vividly demonstrated by the onset of a worldwide recession following the financial collapse in the United States. Volatility no longer stays contained within one local economy.
The purpose of this study is to examine volatility spillovers between the United States and European bond markets. To identify volatility effects in a given country, we will be using a …
