Environmental Equity In An Unjust World, Carly R. Hopp
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
Climate change and related flooding in the Ganges Delta and Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) Basin region disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. This is examined through the lens of environmental justice by exploring how common themes are portrayed in photography and mainstream media. Fifty photos taken in and around the Ganges Delta and GBM Basin were selected for analysis. Photos were collected from a variety of news articles by international media companies and organizations about flooding and divided into five primary categories: Unnatural Disaster, Aftermath, Life Goes On, Resilience, and Awe-striking.
Examining The Accessibility Of Digital Payment: The Rise Of Socioeconomic Inequality Due To The Cashless Revolution, Kaylie Mcrea
Examining The Accessibility Of Digital Payment: The Rise Of Socioeconomic Inequality Due To The Cashless Revolution, Kaylie Mcrea
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
This paper analyzes the evolution of cashless payment, known as the cashless revolution, and its complex contributions to socioeconomic inequality. While a cashless global society is ultimately inevitable, it will contribute to significant inequity. People who cannot access bank accounts will struggle to participate in the buying and selling of goods and services. In societies with a weak social welfare net and a low percentage of overall banked citizens, there must be multifaceted solutions to mitigate effects of the ongoing cashless revolution. These solutions include the issuing of central bank digital currencies, financial literacy programs, and economic incentives to offset …

Perspectives On (In)Human(E) Displacement And Migration, Jordan Carey
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
This interdisciplinary, multimedia document gathers various media pertaining to human displacement and migration. The collected perspectives take the form of poetry, academic research, books, photography, as well as un-sortable multimedia projects. Depending on the source, they are cited, introduced, quoted, summarized and/or analyzed. These sources are connected by their enactment of creative resistance, authenticity, proximity to lived experience with displacement and migration, and dedication to uplift the very truths silenced by colonialism and every intersecting mode of oppression that seeks to control and dominate. These truths are that every single human seeking asylum is a capable, resilient, intelligent, self-reliant, creative, …

Language Barriers Among Immigrant Communities, Rosia Aning
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
This research explores the challenges presented by language barriers among immigrant communities. The study focuses on the impact of limited English proficiency on different aspects of immigrant life, including education, employment, healthcare, cultural integration, and social interactions. Immigrants are individuals who have relocated to a foreign country that is not their country of origin, and they face significant challenges due to language barriers. The inability to communicate effectively with native speakers can lead to social exclusion, economic disadvantage, and restricted access to important resources and information. This project aims to shed light on these challenges and provide potential solutions to …

Holocaust Distortion And The Covid-19 Pandemic, Lyric Crane
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
This project explores the use of Holocaust distortion in the COVID-19 pandemic. It seeks to understand how Holocaust distortion has been used in the pandemic. It also aims to understand how the use of distorted information has contributed to current trends in global antisemitism. In order to answer these questions, this project compares accurate information about the Holocaust with the distorted information seen in protests around the world. It also examines current trends in antisemitism and explores links found between them. The findings of this project are significant because they help grant understanding about how Holocaust distortion can directly contribute …
The Sociohistorically Situated And Structurally Central Nature Of Race: Toward An Analytic Of Research Regarding Race And Racism, Rolf Straubhaar
The Sociohistorically Situated And Structurally Central Nature Of Race: Toward An Analytic Of Research Regarding Race And Racism, Rolf Straubhaar
Journal of Educational Controversy
In a response to Wacquant’s (1997) call for “an analytic of racial domination” (p. 230) to theorize about race and racism, this conceptual article puts forward one such analytic. This analytic is based principally on the continued centrality of race in society, the recognition that racism is always shaped by particular sociohistorical factors, and the importance of documenting racism’s contextual intersectionality with class, gender and other elements of social structure through academic inquiry focused on both discourse and measurable action as data for racial analysis.
