‘Hot Girl Teaching’ In A Faith-Based Environment, Niya Pickett Miller

“Civil Dialogue” As Feminist Pedagogy: Engendering Material And Symbolic Movement, Sarah E. Jones
Feminist Pedagogy
In the United States, we are socialized to think in Western dualisms, and these patterns of communication characterize discussion of social issues.

Texting Etiquette And Its Effects On Our Perceptions Of Intimate Relationships, Taylor Clarke

Abstract
This study seeks to understand the association between texting habits and characteristics and partner perceptions of intimate relationships.
