"Risk And Refuge: The Role Of The Commonplace In Navigating Crisis" In Recollections From An Uncommon Time: 4c20 Documentarian Tales, Lynn Ishikawa
English Faculty publications
This collection of original essays was occasioned first by the 2020 Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) Annual Convention, and then, later, by the cancellation of it. As originally planned, Documentarians (attendees in a newly created role) would share their experiences of the CCCC Convention. After the meeting was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the collection became a means for the Documentarians to share a common experience in this uncommon time. As the volume editors write, "Expect to have some of the tales resonate with your experiences and others to depict a process of sensemaking that might not …

Examining The Impact Of Covid-19 On The Education And Development Of American Students, Riley Fortin '25
Student Research
After the COVID-19 pandemic, the vast majority of American children have fallen behind on core subjects due to the ultimate ineffectiveness of remote learning. This study attempts to discover the degree to which children have fallen behind through the trends in the National Association of Educational Procurement’s two most recent testing years. A database accessed from Google has been analyzed, filtered by state and visualized in tables in order to indicate any possible trends as a result of remote learning brought on by the pandemic. By looking at data in seven different states across the country, there is a notable …

President Lori S. White Inauguration Symposium
When Indiana Asbury College was founded in 1837, the groundwork was laid for a future unimaginable at the time. Though originally dominated by white men, the mission and values were put in plave tht afforded amazing accomplishments and continued progress over the next two centuries, culminating in the anauguration of Dr. Lori White as DePauw's 21st President. While there have been many "firsts" realized at DePauw, we would like to share ten that exemplify our heart, spirit, care and commitment to our community and larger world. As our motto states, "The college is the light and the splendor of the …
Greek Myth Or Fact? The Role Of Greek Houses In Alcohol And Drug Violations On American Campuses, Manu Raghav, Timothy Diette
Greek Myth Or Fact? The Role Of Greek Houses In Alcohol And Drug Violations On American Campuses, Manu Raghav, Timothy Diette
Economics and Management Faculty publications
Greek-letter student social groups, better known as fraternities and sororities, are a ubiquitous feature on many American higher education campuses. These organizations, especially fraternities, have a reputation for encouraging unruly and improper behavior among both members and non-members. This paper investigates the effect of the degree of prevalence of these Greek organizations at a campus, as measured by the percentage of students who are members of fraternities and sororities, on the instances of liquor and drug law violations on campuses, as measured by the number of arrests for liquor and drug laws violations. Using a unique dataset, which combines data …

Education Studies Faculty publications
In this chapter, we read the 2015-2016 #MustFall movement as an “event” in Badiou’s sense of the word. Employing Badiou’s (2005, 2013) interpretive scheme, we suggest that the #MustFall movement fractured the appearance of regularity of the South African higher education landscape to such an extent that it can be considered the kind of ‘event’ that Badiou defines as “something that brings to light a possibility that was invisible or even unthinkable. [It] is, in a certain way, merely a proposition. It proposes something to us” (Badiou, 2013:9-10). Reflecting on a long-term research project on ‘transformative student citizenship’ that started …

The Disaster That Lies Behind The Chalkboard: An Autoethnography About Education & The Power, Privilege And Diversity Requirement, Shafrarisi Bonner 21
Honor Scholar Theses
This thesis seeks to analyze the racial climate of the classroom, using my personal experiences at my predominately white institution (PWI) as its foundation. My experiences at DePauw University, both academically and socially, has played a key role in how I have navigated campus. These experiences are further analyzed using a Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Feminist lens. By analyzing the studies and research done by these scholars, this study aims to assess how whiteness operates and is maintained within the classroom, especially in DePauw University’s Power, Privilege and Diversity courses. This study also outlines the impact of classrooms that …

Bursting The Bubble: The 1988 “Ghetto Party” And Depauw’S Problem With Diversity, James Rueff
Student Research
This paper will delve first into the background information surrounding race relations at the national level, collegiate level, and at DePauw. Next, the paper will investigate how the University started to recruit minority students and faculty as a precursor to campus culture in the 1988-89 academic year of the party and its aftermath. How white people reacted to the event will be put into conversation with Barbara Applebaum’s book, Being White, Being Good. The book tackles how and why white people believe themselves to either be non-racist or unaware of their racist actions. In tandem with The DePauw articles that …
Food Insecurity Prevalence On College Campuses, The Stigma Associated With Food Pantries And The Best Practices Moving Forward, Olivia Neff
Student Research
Food insecurity among college students is three times higher than nationally representative households (Nazmi 2018: 8). Literature estimates between 12% and 59% of college students experience some sort of food insecurity (Cady 2014). Food insecurity is prevalent on all types of college campuses. However, there is limited data on food insecurity on college campuses and the stigmas behind food insecurity. This article discusses the prevalence of food insecurity on college campuses, the stereotypes which reproduce food insecurity, the stigma behind pantry usage and potential solutions. The article will highlight best practices for food pantries obtained through eight interviews with pantries …

Hoot Magazine And The Sexual Revolution At Depauw, Sydney Majka
Student Research
The multifaceted nature of the sexual revolution in America is a complicated topic to disentangle, but examination of the different strands of the movement reveals how people from all walks of life participated in this transformation of mores, even if they themselves were not consciously aware of their contributions. Beth Bailey’s work Sex in the Heartland closely examines these different factors that composed the sexual revolution, while emphasizing the theme that the sexual revolution was a complex combination of events that was experienced and constructed by different people in widely disparate ways. Bailey uses the town of Lawrence, Kansas and …

Changing Musical Canon In Depauw Piano Recitals, Eric Heaton
Changing Musical Canon In Depauw Piano Recitals, Eric Heaton
Student Research
In the present day, it is easy to imagine the tried-and-true simplicity of the current formula for piano recitals as something that must have always existed. A piano recital is expected to cover specific styles, genres, and composers, with a predictable framework to tie everything together. However, history reveals a wider and more varied offering of pieces, composers, and performers that could be presented in any configuration on a recital. This variety constitutes nearly half the history of the piano recital, but is not well known today. In the present directive of looking to the future for something new as …
Reaching Further: The Role Of Distance In College Undermatching, Lois Miller 17
Reaching Further: The Role Of Distance In College Undermatching, Lois Miller 17
Honor Scholar Theses
This thesis explores factors explaining why so many high-achieving, low-income students apply to and enroll at universities with relatively low academic standards, despite generous financial aid packages and evidence that these students would be successful at colleges that are more selective. Amazon's Mechanical Turk was used to gather data and a probit analysis confirms an established result that low-income students are more likely to undermatch. The primary contribution of this work is the result that as the distance between a student's home and the university they attend increases, the probability that the student will undermatch decreases. The decrease in likelihood …

The Allure Of Music: Implications For Academically Gifted Students, Erin Tolar 16
Honor Scholar Theses
This thesis explores the complex interactions of academic giftedness as it relates to the pursuit of music. The literature review covers some of the main topics of giftedness, including what it means to be gifted, identification of giftedness, and music in gifted programs. Research was conducted at a small liberal arts college with a School of Music on academically gifted students. The survey and follow-up interview were constructed to assess whether academically gifted music students were more likely to experience conflict about their choice of major than academically gifted liberal arts students, non-academically gifted School of Music students, or non-academically …

Depauw Women During World War I: Female Citizenship And Higher Education In Early 20th Century America, Kristine Ruhl
Depauw Women During World War I: Female Citizenship And Higher Education In Early 20th Century America, Kristine Ruhl
Student Research
Women at DePauw University were propelled into positions of power on campus with the outbreak of World War I and America’s eventual entrance into the conflict. As male enlistment numbers rose, female students were forced to fill vacant jobs in organizations and clubs, as well as in the workforce. Working as educated people, the women at DePauw adjusted to the conflicting messages of the university and the government and developed their own understanding of what it meant to be a woman in World War I. Facing down widespread stereotypes, women pursued unparalleled positions of power during the war, thus, female …
The End Of The Best Men’S College West Of The Alleghenies: Coeducation At Indiana Asbury University, Carroll T. Bible
The End Of The Best Men’S College West Of The Alleghenies: Coeducation At Indiana Asbury University, Carroll T. Bible
Student Research
Therefore, this research will explore the influences of religion, particularly Methodism, at Indiana Asbury in the context of the national trend in the late nineteenth century to admit women to higher education institutions. This paper will layout the foundational beliefs of Methodism, Indiana Asbury’s road to becoming coeducational, the experiences of the first Asbury women at college and after graduation, and the establishment of exclusive female organizations. Through detailed analyses, I will demonstrate how Indiana Asbury’s affiliation with the Methodist Church and students’ Methodist faith dramatically shaped: 1. Indiana Asbury’s decision to become coeducational in 1867; 2. the first collegiate …

The Gamma Chapter Of Alpha Phi: 1900-2000: A Demographic And Cultural Study, Laura Parks
Student Research
Throughout the years, DePauw University has proved to be a fertile ground for the development of Greek life. A Few of the first fraternities were founded in this soil as well as many of the early chapters installed on this campus. The environment conducive for Greek life inspired the women of Alpha Phi to pursue the idea of establishing a chapter on DePauw's campus. The chapter, founded in 1887, has undergone many changes through the years. With six original women, the membership has since grown to over 100 women in the collegiate chapter today with alumnae across the country. The …

The Evolution Of The Depauw Woman, Amanda M. Stoermer
Student Research
Widespread participation by women in higher education is something that many people in my generation take for granted. While women now outnumber men on the DePauw campus by about a 55 to 45 ratio, that is a remarkably recent phenomenon. Nearly 150 years ago four fearless women came to Greencastle to pave the way for thousands of women who followed by the 1990s. We do not know, without some research, what our predecessors have had to go through in order for us to be here at DePauw today. Not only have the numbers of women on campus exploded over the …
