Black Digital Spaces: Theorizing Resistance In The Wake Of Racist Technology, Shannan Moore Dec 2023

Black Digital Spaces: Theorizing Resistance In The Wake Of Racist Technology, Shannan Moore

Graduate Student Research Fellowship

In the wake of major technological advancement, social media has increasingly become a communal space of daily congregation, particularly for Black people. This paper specifically explores how the Black Diaspora navigates these spaces at a complex intersection of social media and transnational Black histories. I draw from critical Internet studies, Black Diaspora studies, Black feminisms, and media studies to investigate how new technology allows Black folk to engage in conversations about our identity, community, and resistance. Employing a critical ethnographic approach, this paper analyzes online discourse within the Black community about Marvel's Black Panther (2018). This analysis emphasizes the parallels …

Peer Research Tutors Articulate The Value Of Information Inquiry, Jennifer Schwartz Nov 2023

Peer Research Tutors Articulate The Value Of Information Inquiry, Jennifer Schwartz

Staff Publications - University Libraries

The University Library’s FY23 Assessment Report examines the Learning Outcome: Students attending DePaul University Library instruction sessions, workshops, and engaging with its services will be able to articulate the value of information inquiry. This year, we chose to evaluate a segment of our student employees who work at our research help desks, our Peer Research Tutors. Each was asked to write a reflection answering three prompts about how they help other students navigate the research process. These responses were evaluated for how strongly the answers showed an understanding of the value of information inquiry. Six of eight Peer Research Tutors …

Calladita No Te Ves Más Bonita: Cultural Practices Within Latina Women’S Advocacy, Gabriela Córdova Nov 2023

Calladita No Te Ves Más Bonita: Cultural Practices Within Latina Women’S Advocacy, Gabriela Córdova

Undergraduate Student Research Fellowship

Historically, Latina women-led advocacy groups have faced significant underrepresentation within academia, leading to an erasure of their experiences and contributions. For this reason, it is imperative to take on a thorough analysis that respects the nuances of Latina women's advocacy. In recognizing how their identities enable them to bring about meaningful change, we see the Latina woman's role as an agent of advocacy. Therefore, this exploratory research study investigates the incorporation of cultural practices within two Latina-led organizations in Chicago, Amigas Latinas, and Mujeres Latinas En Acción, from the mid-20th century to the present. I employ Anita Tijerina Revilla's Muxerista …


Disrupting The Gender Script: How Beyoncé’S Lemonade Reimagines A Black Queer Feminine, Samara J. Smith Nov 2023

Disrupting The Gender Script: How Beyoncé’S Lemonade Reimagines A Black Queer Feminine, Samara J. Smith

Undergraduate Student Research Fellowship

By virtue, Beyonce’s visual album, “Lemonade" can be seen as a form of Black Feminist theorizing as she creates images of the feminine along a personal narrative backdrop of infidelity and healing. To delegitimize controlling images of Black femininity, I will investigate how forms of the Haitian Vodou Lwa Ezili appear in the visual to problematize feminine constructions. Thus, this project aims to confront existing literature that either imposes external definitions of Black femininity or centers these images in its critique. I will take a triangular approach to trace how and where Iwa Ezili appears in Lemonade. By using Jennifer …


Invisible In Plain Sight: A Qualitative Analysis Of The U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study And Contemporary Issues Of Iatrophobia In Black Women, Krystal Morgan Nov 2023

Invisible In Plain Sight: A Qualitative Analysis Of The U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study And Contemporary Issues Of Iatrophobia In Black Women, Krystal Morgan

Undergraduate Student Research Fellowship

The U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study (USPHSSS) is the nation’s most infamous example of biomedical misconduct in the United States. Using the wives and the descendants of the USPHSSS as a case study, this project examines and conceptualizes how the lack of healthcare access and secondhand healthcare the wives and descendants received has had a cumulative impact on Black women and contemporary iatrophobia, using a Black feminist ethical and constructivist theoretical framework. Findings reflect two major themes for contemporary iatrophobia: systemic racism and what Muhjah Shakir terms the cultural constellation of silence.


She Was There Too: Enslaved Black Women, Agency, And Community, Jael Davis Nov 2023

She Was There Too: Enslaved Black Women, Agency, And Community, Jael Davis

Undergraduate Student Research Fellowship

Rarely are the experiences of enslaved women prioritized in studying the history of enslavement in the United States. This is particularly true in relation to how black women experienced, survived, and carved out agency in the face of sexual violence. Rather than acknowledge the strength demonstrated by these women, contemporary historiography relegates them to the position of victims. This research intervenes in this practice and argues that enslaved women worked hard to create agency for themselves in the face of sexual violence from those that enslaved them. More specifically, it argues that the presence of a community of other enslaved …

The Bracero Program’S Legacy On Its Participants | Poster, Lila Nambo Nov 2023

The Bracero Program’S Legacy On Its Participants | Poster, Lila Nambo

Undergraduate Student Research Fellowship

The Bracero Program was a bi-nationally sponsored by the U.S. and Mexico which meant to provide labor in the agricultural and industrial sectors of American society during World War II. The program ran from 1942 and 1964 where about 4.5 million Mexican men were contracted to provide labor in the U.S. for a period of time not exceeding six months. There is much documented about the Bracero Program’s history, but there is not a vast amount of sources that focus on the braceros’ personal accounts on their experiences in the program. How the Bracero Program is remembered often doesn’t include …

2021 Depaul University Library And Art Museum Climate Survey Report, Wendall Sullivan, Subcommittee For The Survey And Report, Idea Committee, Depaul University Library, April Hummons, Dorian Rodriguez-Spicer, Christine Mcclure, Matthew Krause

Climate Surveys and Reports

In the fall of 2021, the DePaul University Library and Art Museum’s IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility) Committee decided to conduct a survey of the library’s climate to establish a baseline for its work. The survey was sent to all full and part-time library staff and ran for six weeks. One of the goals of the IDEA committee is to bring awareness of implicit biases, micro-aggressions, exclusionary practices, and structural racism and discrimination within Library and Art Museum operations, environment, and culture; to review, audit and propose internal polices and processes for the Library and Art Museum to implement IDEA …
