Language Documentation In The Aftermath Of The 2015 Nepal Earthquakes: A Guide To Two Archives And A Web Exhibit, Kristine A. Hildebrandt, Tanner Burge-Beckley, Jacob Sebok
Language Documentation In The Aftermath Of The 2015 Nepal Earthquakes: A Guide To Two Archives And A Web Exhibit, Kristine A. Hildebrandt, Tanner Burge-Beckley, Jacob Sebok
SIUE Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
We describe two institutionally related archives and an online exhibit representing a set of Tibeto-Burman languages of Nepal. These archives and exhibit were built to house materials resulting from documentation of twelve Tibeto-Burman languages in the aftermath of the 2015 Nepal earthquakes. This account includes a detailed discussion of the different materials recorded, and how they were prepared for the collections. This account also provides a comparison of the two different types of archives, the different but complementary functions they serve, and a discussion of the role that online exhibits can play in the context of language documentation archives.
Navigating The Path To Presence: Ideology, Politics, And The Campaign For Gender Balanced Boards And Commissions In Iowa, Ezra Temko
SIUE Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
From 1986 through 1988, Iowa adopted and strengthened a gender balance law that required men and women be equally represented on state boards and commissions. In 2009, Iowa extended this law to also require its counties, municipalities, and school districts to gender balance their boards and commissions. Iowa’s law remains unique in the United States. Through archival research and interviews, my research investigates how advocates navigated the ideological landscape associated with this policy issue. My research unveils the mechanisms that substantially deradicalized gender balance in Iowa, enabling its passage and shifting Iowans’ perceptions of gender, governance, and affirmative action—disembedding gender …
Presidents’ Vetoes And Audience Costs, Laurie L. Rice, Samuel Kernell
Presidents’ Vetoes And Audience Costs, Laurie L. Rice, Samuel Kernell
SIUE Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
Veto threats may offer presidents bargaining leverage, but such leverage will be diminished if they and those with whom they transact business view a veto as hurting the president’s approval rating and his party’s prospects in the next election. How concerned must presidents be about the audience costs associated with a veto? Political science research suggests that they should be in that the public does not like vetoes and punishes presidents when they exercise this authority. In this article we test this argument with survey responses during times after presidents have issued a veto threat but before an actual veto. …
Black Curativeness: Understanding Black Voter Selection Through An Assessment Of Racially-Charged Districts, Timothy E. Lewis
Black Curativeness: Understanding Black Voter Selection Through An Assessment Of Racially-Charged Districts, Timothy E. Lewis
SIUE Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 most scholarship on Black voter selection explains who Black voters select as opposed to why they select them. This study seeks to deepen understandings of Black voter selection beyond descriptive explanations through an assessment of a racially-charged district. Racially-charged districts can be used as microcosms for understanding political thought and behavior of racial minorities, particularly Black voter selection. These locales, where proven racial inequity propels race and racism as the overarching themes for all political and social concerns, are important in understanding why Black voters show positive affect towards viable …
Snapchat And Civic Engagement Among College Students, Laurie Rice, Kenneth Moffett
Snapchat And Civic Engagement Among College Students, Laurie Rice, Kenneth Moffett
SIUE Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
During the 2016 presidential election cycle, Clinton and Trump used Snapchat as one part of their overall voter outreach and engagement efforts. This portion of their campaign strategy was disproportionately targeted toward younger voters, since those between 18 and 25 comprise a vast portion of Snapchat’s user base. Did their efforts, those of political parties, or those of interest groups on Snapchat produce higher levels of civic engagement among college students? We utilize a survey that we conducted from a college campus in the Midwest in October 2016 to answer this question. Using a series of matching analyses, we discover …
Student Perceptions Of Teaching Effectiveness And Learning Achievement: A Comparative Examination Of Online And Hybrid Course Delivery Format, Deborah Sellnow-Richmond, Michael Strawser, Deanna Sellnow
Student Perceptions Of Teaching Effectiveness And Learning Achievement: A Comparative Examination Of Online And Hybrid Course Delivery Format, Deborah Sellnow-Richmond, Michael Strawser, Deanna Sellnow
SIUE Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
Although a good deal of research has been published that compares the effectiveness of communication courses delivered in face-to face and online formats, much less is known about the comparative effectiveness of fully online versus hybrid (a.k.a. blended, mixed mode) courses. Thus, this research project examined student perceptions of teaching effectiveness and learning achievement efficacy in online and hybrid basic communication courses. This two-part study assessed student perceptions (N = 136) about halfway through the semester and again after finishing the course (N = 156). The examination revealed several key conclusions. First, technology constraints must be overcome pedagogically for students …
Building A Diverse Curriculum: The Role Of Diversity Across Communication Coursework, Martin Jason, Deborah Sellnow-Richmond, Michael Strawser
Building A Diverse Curriculum: The Role Of Diversity Across Communication Coursework, Martin Jason, Deborah Sellnow-Richmond, Michael Strawser
SIUE Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
The present study utilizes student essays about diversity to examine ways in which students are exposed to diversity as communication majors throughout their coursework. Four themes emerged from this analysis. First, students became more aware and open-minded. Second, their understanding of different viewpoints and cultural differences increased. Third, they learned about diversity in an array of courses. Finally, their communication curriculum became more connected and relevant to their use and evaluation of media, journalism, and film.
