We'll All Be Better Off If We Ask Better Questions In 2017, Bruce Janz
UCF Forum
I find myself at the end of 2016 thinking about how differently we all make sense out of our shared experiences this year. “Common wisdom” seems to have it that 2016 was generally worse than other years – some of our favorite people died and the wheels fell off of whatever we thought they were on.

Policy Analysis and Program Evaluation
The Tasmanian Government is currently implementing significant reforms to improve students’ retention and attainment in Tasmania’s schools.

Gender Bias In It Hiring Practices: An Ethical Analysis, Harmony L. Alford
Gender Bias In It Hiring Practices: An Ethical Analysis, Harmony L. Alford
Student Scholarship – Computer Science
With the current movement to increase the number of women in STEM-related careers, modified IT hiring practices may be considered debatably unethical. Studies cited in this work have asserted that female representation in STEM fields is integral not only to encouraging continued progression toward gender equality in the workplace but also to creating more inclusive products. In turn, some argue that when faced with reasonably comparable female and male candidates, a hiring manager should select the female candidate in order to increase the female representation in the company and provide a female perspective. However, it is simultaneously debatably unethical and …

Undergraduate Studio Assistant Research
Writing Centers and Studios have the potential to be more than just an inclusive space—they can be spaces that actively foster advocacy and racial justice. This module examines how racial inequality manifests on a systemic and interpersonal level within learning spaces. Interactive scenarios examine and challenge what race, racism, and microaggressions mean in the context of learning spaces, and promote reflection on inclusive practices in peer tutoring.
