Perceptions Of The Body Haunted: An Analysis Of Significant Pilot Study Findings On The Abuse And Harassment Of Women With Disabilities Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Pia C. Mingkwan
International Studies Honors Projects
This pilot study conducted with Disability Research and Capacity Development in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, found that women with disabilities (WWD) reported significant experiences with abuse and harassment. Analysis of these findings revealed that the abuse and harassment of WWD is directly connected to the complex roles that gender and disability hold within Vietnamese society. Vietnam is a patriarchal society and WWD experienced abuse and harassment due to their roles as women; their expressions of gender and sexuality in connection with disability; and their desire for participation in processes such as sex, intimacy, and childbearing. Additionally, disabled bodies in …
Solidarity Starts At Home: An Analysis Of The Polish Perception Of Social Inclusion And Exclusion Of Migrants, Dagmara K. Franczak
Solidarity Starts At Home: An Analysis Of The Polish Perception Of Social Inclusion And Exclusion Of Migrants, Dagmara K. Franczak
International Studies Honors Projects
With the Eurosceptic and anti-refugee Law and Justice Party in power in Poland, advocating for the rights of Polish migrants in the Brexit negotiations, the question, then, arises: how do Poles simultaneously justify the idea of a borderless EU and the rejection of refugees? I argue that all actors in the debate on social inclusion and exclusion of migrants are using the value of solidarity, but defining it differently because of the collective identities that they prioritize. There are two prevalent, historically grounded sides in the debate: one side is liberal, and cosmopolitan, the other is illiberal and ethno-nationalist.
Rabid Response: Unpacking The History Of The Rabies Virus To Examine Resource Allocation, Eliza C. Ramsey
Rabid Response: Unpacking The History Of The Rabies Virus To Examine Resource Allocation, Eliza C. Ramsey
International Studies Honors Projects
Rabies is a neurological disease transmitted by the bite of an infected animal and has assured fatal consequences if untreated. Despite the existence of an effective vaccine, the virus kills more than 50,000 people every year, primarily in low-income countries where dog-mediated strains of rabies persist. The long history of the disease has seen many transitions in disease context but also given rise to salient socio-cultural narratives that shape control and elimination campaigns. Effective future address of the disease requires knitting together historical lessons with frameworks of resource allocation.
Narrative And Belonging: The Politics Of Ambiguity, The Jewish State, And The Thought Of Edward Said And Hannah Arendt, Jacob A. Bessen, Jacob Bessen
Narrative And Belonging: The Politics Of Ambiguity, The Jewish State, And The Thought Of Edward Said And Hannah Arendt, Jacob A. Bessen, Jacob Bessen
International Studies Honors Projects
At the core of this thesis, I examine the difficulties of giving an account of oneself in modern associational life. By integrating the theory and political activism of both Edward Said and Hannah Arendt, I follow the Zionist response to European antisemitism and the Palestinian responses to Jewish settler colonialism. Both parties struggle against their ambiguous presence within local and regional hegemonic social taxonomy, and within the world order. Contemporarily, this struggle takes place in the protracted conflict between Israeli and local Arab groups, which has been managed through violence and objectification, as opposed to allowing the dynamism and reconfiguration …
Defining Biometrics: Toward A Transnational Ethic Of Personal Information, Nicola Morrow
Defining Biometrics: Toward A Transnational Ethic Of Personal Information, Nicola Morrow
International Studies Honors Projects
Innovations in biotechnology, computer science, and engineering throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries dramatically expanded possible modes of data-based surveillance and personal identification. More specifically, new technologies facilitated enormous growth in the biometrics sector. The response to the explosion of biometric technologies was two-fold. While intelligence agencies, militaries, and multinational corporations embraced new opportunities to fortify and expand security measures, many individuals objected to what they perceived as serious threats to privacy and bodily autonomy. These reactions spurred both further technological innovation, and a simultaneous proliferation of hastily drafted policies, laws, and regulations governing the collection, …
Desconocido: Conversion To Islam In México, Ashley E. Dunn
Desconocido: Conversion To Islam In México, Ashley E. Dunn
International Studies Honors Projects
Unless proven otherwise, subaltern subjects are assumed to lack agency. Through an exploration of conversion to Islam in México in the southern state of Chiapas, in the north along las fronteras, and in Mexico City, this project intervenes in discourses that deny the subaltern agency. Through the analytical frameworks of coloniality, this project redefines the choices that converts make and their expressions of faith as acts of creation, as inherently authentic, and as articulations of their desires. Converts to Islam in México serve as a case study of modes of resistance against the epistemological powers of coloniality.
