How Does Current Sex Education Perpetuate Rape Culture, Alec Deboard, Alyssa Williams
How Does Current Sex Education Perpetuate Rape Culture, Alec Deboard, Alyssa Williams
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
Rape culture as it is used within this analysis refers to the general trend as a society to normalize the occurrence of sexual violence and can encompass behaviors such as acceptance and perpetuation of common rape myths, “slut-shaming”, and victimblaming. These behaviors are taught from a young age, mostly through the media or socialization. However, through examining sixteen sex education textbooks, certain themes seem to highlight the notion that children are exposed to rape culture through school systems. The aspects explored include discussions of consent (or lack thereof), forced stigma towards sexuality, perpetuation of harmful misconceptions including gender stereotypes, and …

Against all odds, Donald J. Trump shocked the world when he won the 2016 presidential election and became the 45th President of the United States. Few foresaw such a victory for the Republicans; it was widely believed among political scientists, election analysts, media pundits, and reportedly even Trump himself that victory would ultimately go to the Democratic party. So how and why did he win? We examine the multitude of factors that contributed to his electoral victory, including his iconic “Make America Great Again” campaign, how his policies resonated with voters (as well as his primary opponent’s policies), and shifts …

Archaeological Investigations At The Fort Hill Earthwork Complex, Michael Dodrill, Bridget Coyne
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
Geophysical and archaeological investigations were conducted this past summer at the Fort Hill Earthwork Complex located in the Rocky River Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks. Our investigations have not only revealed when the earthworks were created and by which prehistoric culture group, but we also have uncovered data to suggest how they were constructed and for what possible purpose they may have served. In addition, we conducted extensive archival research at several local historical societies and museums looking for previously unpublished information about this site’s initial discovery in the mid-1800s and for any additional information concerning the prehistoric occupation of …
Effectiveness Of Anti-Discrimination Policies: An Analysis Of Housing Advertisements, Brad Dowling
Effectiveness Of Anti-Discrimination Policies: An Analysis Of Housing Advertisements, Brad Dowling
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
This project investigates the efficacy of a proposed policy intervention related to housing discrimination. The student designed and executed a python script to collect information from rental housing advertisements in order to assess them for discriminatory language. Looking through apartment rental listings, common information includes number of bedrooms and bathrooms, location, rental cost, and whether the landlord allows pets. It is not uncommon to see the phrase “No Section 8” as well. These advertisements are exhibiting source of income (SOI) discrimination, whereby a landlord does not rent to a prospective tenant because of where the tenant receives the money to …

The Formation Of Twitter Networks Among U.S. City Mayors, Sam Motes, Gabrielle Parsson
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
This project (a) explores the extent to which mayors use social media to interact with other mayors, (b) identifies the different types of information shared, and (c) examines the factors that influence whether mayors share information. Focusing on the 100 largest cities in the United States by population, we conduct a network analysis of interactions between mayors, occurring on Twitter from 2016-2018. Findings demonstrate an active information network. Types of information shared address city operations, the favorable presentation of a mayor’s city, political positioning, and symbolic acts of congratulations, gratitude, and condolences. Results from a Quadratic Assignment Procedure Logistic Regression …

Environmental Certification Program Iso 14001: A Study Of Membership Motivation And Effectiveness, Lauren Egensperger
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
ISO 14001 is an environmental management standard developed by the International Organization of Standardization in 1996. The standard was designed to assist companies with improving environmental performance, enhancing efficiency, and advancing business relations. However, studies suggest that ISO 14001 has experienced varying degrees of success. For this research project, academic literature from environmental journals along with ISO data and annual reports were reviewed. Initially, resources were encountered which propose that the extent to which ISO 14001 improves environmental outcomes remains uncertain due to the presence of symbolic adoption and external motives in some certified organizations. These findings indicate that data, …
