A Troop, A Raft, A Bed, Hanna Jane Guendel
A Troop, A Raft, A Bed, Hanna Jane Guendel
Senior Projects Spring 2020
A Troop, a Raft, a Bed tells the interwoven fictional stories of three major animals (the mountain gorilla, the Adélie penguin, and the American eel) and four transitional animals (the white stork, the humpback whale, the common octopus, and the great white shark). The stories are told from the animals' perspectives, and are written with language that considers each animal's unique intelligence, mind, and behavior. These stories seek to communicate how animals around the world may be experiencing the various effects of climate change and global warming.
Does The Direction Of Current Flow Using Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation (Tdcs) Affect One’S Ability To Perform Motor Tasks?, Zongheng Zhang
Does The Direction Of Current Flow Using Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation (Tdcs) Affect One’S Ability To Perform Motor Tasks?, Zongheng Zhang
Senior Projects Spring 2020
Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS), is a non-invasive, painless brain stimulation treatment that uses direct electrical currents to stimulate specific parts of the brain. This is achieved by placing two electrodes--one positive (the anode) and one negative (the cathode)--on the scalp and running current across them. Altering the cortical excitability in this manner has been associated with changes in a variety of cognitive and motor tasks, those thought to be controlled by the underlying regions. While most of the existing literature has focused on the effects of placing the anode over the target region (often benefitting the associated performance), there is …
Rezistance: Diné Grassroots Organization And Modes Of Activism, Eric Robert Dougherty
Rezistance: Diné Grassroots Organization And Modes Of Activism, Eric Robert Dougherty
Senior Projects Spring 2020
This ethnography looks at themes of Indigeneity and activism as it exists in the everyday realities of young people living in or around the Navajo reservation in the southwest United States. Through work-related projects of hogan construction, land reclamation, watershed management, and language restoration Navajo youth are given opportunities to take control of their present circumstances and imagine a different future for themselves and their families. Besides work, youth and activism are constituted through other mediums and spaces that allow people to express who they are, what they care about, and why these things are important to them. The consistent …

Assessing Food Insecurity In The Hudson Valley Through The Capabilities Lens, Nicole Grace Vascimini
Assessing Food Insecurity In The Hudson Valley Through The Capabilities Lens, Nicole Grace Vascimini
Senior Projects Spring 2020
In the Hudson Valley Region in Upstate New York there is an existing conundrum in which despite all areas of the region being covered by farmland with an abundance of fresh food available in every county; there are still people going hungry and experiencing food insecurity. Low-income communities as well as low-access communities are disproportionately dealing with the inequities of the Hudson Valley food system. This project looks at past and existing frameworks towards assessing and measuring food security and discusses these approaches in relation to the methodologies being employed by local organizations to assess the prevalence of food insecurity …
