Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Through Body Adornment, Linore Huss
Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Through Body Adornment, Linore Huss
Honors Projects
I conducted a series of interviews with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder survivors or their family members and completed an interactive body of work in body adornment and jewelry that reflects their stories. Last year I decided to focus on the people behind the trauma rather than the trauma itself, which I feel connects the survivor and the viewer more deeply than presenting a general image. Each piece draws from a survivor's personal story, the titles pulling from interview quotes, and the interaction with the viewer representative of each personal struggle.

Children's Understanding Of Kindness, Elizabeth R. Coalter
Children's Understanding Of Kindness, Elizabeth R. Coalter
Educational Specialist, 2009-2019
The purpose of this project was to explore the understanding of the concept of kindness from the perspective of children. Fifteen elementary students were interviewed by the researcher about what kindness means to them. Through the use of grounded theory, themes were identified by searching student responses for common phrases and key words. Interviewing children about their conceptions of kindness without comparing the responses to adult responses will give a better indication about how children develop definitions and rules pertaining to kindness. This will inform future research and programs pertaining to elementary aged students understanding of the concept of kindness.
