Enacting A Third Space Pedagogy In An Art Museum Setting: Strategies, Intersections, And Values, Claudia Patricia Orjuela Borda
Theses and Dissertations
This ethnographic case study investigates the theory and practice of third spaces in relation to a
professional development program for K-12 teachers in an art museum setting, with emphasis on
arts-based programming, lived curriculum, contemporary art, and critical teaching strategies. I
investigate how museums negotiate the transition from a pedagogy of place towards a pedagogy
of third spaces. The questions guiding my study were: how a third space is valued by educators
and museum staff? What are the components, strategies, and methodologies that allow for the
emergence of third spaces in professional development programs? What does a third space
pedagogy …

These interviews championed …
Ancient Andean Tattooing Practices, Madison Auten
Ancient Andean Tattooing Practices, Madison Auten
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores the practice of tattooing in the ancient Andean world focusing on Peru. I ask the question: What can we learn about how people in the ancient Andean world used tattoos? For example, who were the people receiving tattoos, where on the body were tattoos located and what did they depict? To address this, I collected data on tattoos preserved on human remains. Mummies originating from Peru were examined and their tattoos were photographed. The mummies I examined come from collections in three museums in the United States, including: the Milwaukee Public Museum (MPM), the Field Museum (FM) …

The Impact Of Research Data Sharing And Reuse On Data Citation In Stem Fields, Hyoungjoo Park
The Impact Of Research Data Sharing And Reuse On Data Citation In Stem Fields, Hyoungjoo Park
Theses and Dissertations
Despite the open science movement and mandates for the sharing of research data by major funding agencies and influential journals, the citation of data sharing and reuse has not become standard practice in the various science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Advances in technology have lowered some barriers to data sharing, but it is a socio-technical phenomenon and the impact of the ongoing evolution in scholarly communication practices has yet to be quantified. Furthermore, there is need for a deeper and more nuanced understanding of author self-citation and recitation, the most often cited types of data, disciplinary differences regarding …

Analysis Of Family-Health-Related Topics On Wikipedia, Yanyan Wang
Theses and Dissertations
New concepts, terms, and topics always emerge; and meanings of existing terms and topics keep changing all the time. These phenomena occur more frequently on social media than on conventional media because social media allows a huge number of users to generate information online. Retrieving relevant results in different time periods of a fast-changing topic becomes one of the most difficult challenges in the information retrieval field. Among numerous topics discussed on social media, health-related topics are a major category which attracts increasing attention from the general public.
This study investigated and explored the evolution patterns of family-health-related topics on …
Issues With Reality: Defining And Exploring The Logics Of Alternate Reality Games, Jay Johnson
Issues With Reality: Defining And Exploring The Logics Of Alternate Reality Games, Jay Johnson
Theses and Dissertations
Alternate Reality Games (ARGs), a genre of transmedia experiences, are a recent phenomenon, with the first recognized ARG being The Beast (2001), a promotion for the film A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (2001). This dissertation seeks to more clearly define and investigate contexts of transmedia narratives and games, specifically ARGs. ARGs differ from more popular and well-known contemporary forms of gaming in several ways, perhaps most importantly by intensive use of multiple media. Whereas a player may experience most or all of a conventional video game through a single medium, participants in ARGs must navigate multiple media and technical platforms— networks of …

Fluid Functionality: An Examination Of Shifting Identities Using North American Indian German Silver Brooches At The Milwaukee Public Museum As A Case Study, Victoria Catherine Pagel
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores the social lives of Woodland silver and German silver brooches
beginning in the late 18th century up to the present day using examples from the collections at the
Milwaukee Public Museum. As a popular trade item introduced by Europeans, silver brooches
provided a new medium for personal adornment in North American indigenous communities
throughout the Woodland region. Brooches were fastened on clothing as singular items and
occasionally worn in the hundreds to display wealth, status, and other aspects of identity. The
majority of brooches used for this project originate from Canada, New York, and Wisconsin.

In Phase 1, quantities of class numbers were analyzed by edition and discipline. The main class with the most consistently …
Quantitative Phenotype Analysis To Identify, Validate And Compare Rat Disease Models, Yiqing Zhao
Quantitative Phenotype Analysis To Identify, Validate And Compare Rat Disease Models, Yiqing Zhao
Theses and Dissertations
Introduction
The laboratory rat has been widely used as an animal model in biomedical research. There are many strains exhibiting a wide variety of phenotypes. Capturing these phenotypes in a centralized database provides researchers with an easy method for choosing the appropriate strains for their studies. Current resources such as NBRP and PhysGen provided some preliminary work in rat phenotype databases. However, there are drawbacks in both projects: (1) small number of animals (6 rats) used by NBRP; (2) NBRP project is a one-time effort for each strain; (3) PhysGen web interface only enables queries within a single study – …
