2016 Presidential Campaign And The American College Student, Madison Frost
2016 Presidential Campaign And The American College Student, Madison Frost
Scholars Week
It is perceived by many that college students have low awareness of the presidential campaign and its candidates. Many blame the sources from which knowledge is attained. Most researchers agree that the Internet and newspaper are the most popular sources, and both are positively related to political knowledge (Kenski & Stroud, 2006; Valentino, Hutchings, & Dmitri, 2004; Cao, 2008). Cao (2008) also found a positive association between young adults and political comedy shows, which have become even more popular since 2008. Other researchers found that watching presidential debates increased knowledge of candidates, but only individuals who were already interested in …

Boiling Over on the Back Burner: Why Downplaying North Korea’s Nuclear Ambitions is a Dangerous Proposition

Mentor: Dr. Ryan K. Baggett
Homeland Security Program, Eastern Kentucky University
Abstract
For over sixty years, the Korean Peninsula has teetered on the brink of violence between two countries still technically at war. Since the division of Korea at the 38th parallel in 1945, a power struggle between North and South and, ultimately, Communism and Democracy has become a dangerous stalemate.
While many have downplayed the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) as a backwards, isolated nation with a leader thirsty …
The Conflict In Syria: Should The United States Get More Involved?, Jacob Peoples
The Conflict In Syria: Should The United States Get More Involved?, Jacob Peoples
Posters-at-the-Capitol
The purpose of this research is to explore the relations between Syria, Russia, and the United States in the Syrian civil war. The relationship has been in turmoil because of the complexities of the situation. Syria has been a designated state sponsor of terrorism since December 29, 1979, five years before the next designated state of Iran. Syria is a very important and strategic country and now more than ever has a large risk of being completely overrun by the newest terrorist group ISIS. The turmoil is possibly stemming initially from the result of a failed 1957 Central Intelligence Agency …

US Federal Courts and Inter-Branch War Powers
Author: Erica Fields, with Dr. Jasmine Farrier and Dr. Laura Moyer
Department of Political Science- University of Louisville
Introduction
When a separation of powers issue arises between the branches of the United States government, they can seek remedy in the federal courts. This has become especially relevant in the area of war powers. Over the past 40 years, members of Congress have challenged Presidential encroachment of war powers 10 times in the courts.
Purpose
To determine if the rulings in the 10 war powers cases could best be explained by the ideologies of …

Exploring Regional And Telecoupled Land Use Change Impacts From Environmental Shocks, Kevin Hill, Liz Wachs, Brady Hardiman, David Yu, Shweta Singh
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium
Natural disasters or environmental shocks have the potential to disrupt local agricultural systems as well as distant agricultural systems through cascading effects. In this work we selected two distinct environmental shocks and traced their cascading effects on land use change. Quantifying cascading effects is a salient issue because climate change forecasts indicate an increase in frequency and intensity of global environmental shocks. This study incorporated the concept of telecoupled systems involving interrelating ecological, economic and political/social components. A telecoupled framework involving cascading effects was implemented using three approaches. The first approach involved using bilateral agricultural trade matrix data to analyze …

Mujeres Libres: Lessons On Anarchism And Feminism From Spain's Free Women, Alexandra Hastings
Mujeres Libres: Lessons On Anarchism And Feminism From Spain's Free Women, Alexandra Hastings
Scholars Week
Mujeres Libres was an anarchist women's organization formed during the Spanish Civil War from 1936-1939 by women who were working to eliminate the rampant, hypocritical sexism within the anarchist movement. Although Mujeres Libres was only active for three years, they mobilized over 20,000 women who all recognized that anarchism and feminism go hand in hand. This paper argues that Mujeres Libres was a successful example of both anarchism and feminism in practice, and contemporary feminists should see the framework and philosophy of this organization as something to model their own women's liberation movement after.
Best Practices For Self-Exclusion Reinstatement And Renewal, Alex Price
Best Practices For Self-Exclusion Reinstatement And Renewal, Alex Price
International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking
While many studies have examined self-exclusion few have focused on the processes through which gamblers return at the end of their agreements. In 2014, the RGC Centre for the Advancement of Best Practices examined voluntary self-exclusion reinstatement and renewal in an effort to develop evidence-informed best-practices for both land-based and online gambling operations. The presentation outlines the findings of the study and the recommended best practices for reintegration and ban renewal.
The study examined a range of practices around the world. In the end the study recommended an active reinstatement process in which all participants are required to apply to …
Argumentation Mining In Parliamentary Discourse, Nona Naderi
Argumentation Mining In Parliamentary Discourse, Nona Naderi
OSSA Conference Archive
In parliamentary discourse, politicians expound their beliefs and goals through argumentation, and, to persuade the audience, they communicate their values by highlighting some aspect of an issue, an action which is commonly known as framing. The choices of frames are typically dependent upon the speaker’s ideology.
In this proposed doctoral work, we will computationally analyze framing strategies and present a model for discovering the latent structure of framing of real-world issues in Canadian parliamentary discourse.

Vietnamese Contract Workers In The East German Republic, Sean W. Hough
Vietnamese Contract Workers In The East German Republic, Sean W. Hough
Celebration
This paper will analyze the historical and cultural conditions that affected how the German Democratic Republic treated one of its largest minority groups, the Vietnamese. During the height of the Cold War and as Decolonization reached its peak phase in the 1960s and 70s, these two factors pushed the GDR and Vietnam closer, which resulted in an exchange in workers. Contract Workers were brought to the GDR to work in an environment "united in socialist solidarity." However, despite this rhetoric, age-old racism, xenophobia, and Orientalism still infiltrated the so called "Socialist Paradise," as the GDR was often called by its …
