The Experience Of Pet Ownership In Transitional Housing, Kathryn Holden Ots, Susan Macdermott Otd, Otr/L

Summer 2024 OTD Capstone Symposium

25% of people experiencing homelessness have pets, but few transitional housing programs allow pets (Rhoades et al., 2015); therefore, there is a gap in the literature about the experience of pet ownership during the transitional housing process. This study aimed to explore pet owners' experiences at a transitional housing site in San Diego County. The student interviewed two current dog owners and four recent dog owners. All participants prioritized their pets because it was their strongest relationship. The prioritization of their dogs positively and negatively influenced occupational engagement. While receiving services, owners experienced consequences when separated from their dogs, including …

Sexism In Spiritual Divination: Tarot Cards, Noel Grinsteinner

Sociology Student Work Collection

An exploration of gender depiction and heteronormativity in the art of Tarot Cards. This art originated in France and Italy during the 14th century, yet did not have connections to spirituality until 4 centuries later. This presentation provides a condensed breakdown of the cards, and argues that Tarot is inherently linked to femininity, due to significant contributions from women particularly amidst the Second Wave Feminist Movement. Includes examples from the Rider-Waite Smith deck to compare the difference between portrayal of the sexes and their underlying misogynistic meanings. Deck authors advocate for more inclusivity in tarot, and to show up for …

Clase Social, Circulación Y Consumo De Pan. Análisis Histórico Y Etnográfico De La Panadería Bogotana, Miguel Felipe Suárez Gómez, Jairo Clavijo Poveda

Ciencias Sociales, Humanidades y Ciencias Políticas

Este libro explora cómo el pan y las panaderías en Bogotá constituyen un universo social complejo, lleno de normas, procesos y actores que forman parte de un campo sociológico según la teoría de Pierre Bourdieu. Desde una perspectiva descriptiva, analítica, esquemática y sociológica, se revela cómo la producción, enseñanza, consumo y significado del pan configuran trayectorias dinámicas y simbólicas en la ciudad. Este estudio no solo narra históricamente la evolución del pan desde la Antigüedad hasta el presente, sino que también invita al lector a experimentar y comprender la ciudad a través de sus panaderías y productos, subrayando así la …

The Relationship Between Fatalities In Police Violence And Their Identifying Characteristics: Age, Gender, Race, And Region, Yuechu Hu

Undergraduate Research Symposium 2024

Police violence, highlighted by the George Floyd incident in 2020, has intensified concerns about police brutality and perceived racism in U.S. law enforcement (AP News, 2022). Therefore, we intend to analyze Fatal Encounters data, which documents non-police deaths that occur in the presence of the police in the United States. By creating statistical tables and graphs, as well as applying time-series methods, classification and regression trees, and a multinomial logistic regression model, we find that males and transgender people are more likely than females to encounter victimization during police brutality enforcement for any cause of death. Victims older than 19 …

The Single Dimensional Deviant: The Socialization We Receive Concerning Disabled Bodies, Coral Sky

Sociology Student Work Collection

The socialization process cultivates an environment where individuals can assimilate to the upheld societal beliefs and norms. When we look at this socialization process through the lens of disability, we will find a multifaceted set of beliefs that predict the treatment those with disabilities receive and the perpetuated perceptions concerning the disabled community. The media plays a sizeable role in shaping the beliefs, norms, and attitudes that wider society adheres to. Through critically analyzing the media consumed, it becomes intelligible that there is an inextricable link between disability and disadvantageous stereotypes. For instance, the films "Me Before You," directed by …

Male Caregiver Strain: The Mental Effects Of Being An Informal Caregiver For A Family Member With Dementia And Alzheimer's Disease, Alessandra M. Barillas, Elijah Rammel B. Borja

Nursing | Student Research Posters

Background: Caregivers are vital in fulfilling patients' primary care needs, and families prefer them over sending their loved ones to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia are prevalent conditions necessitating continuous assistance due to memory and cognition impairments. As a result, support is essential for tasks like mobility, feeding, bathing, and perineal care, as well as emotional and physical challenges inherent in caregiving. Purpose: Upon diving into the mental health impacts of serving as an informal caregiver for individuals with Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia, a notable research gap becomes evident, especially concerning male caregivers. This lack of information …
