A Content Analysis Of Spanish Language Curriculum In Texas, Sarah Moore, Jessica Sanchez, Sarah Herrera
A Content Analysis Of Spanish Language Curriculum In Texas, Sarah Moore, Jessica Sanchez, Sarah Herrera
Journal of Global Awareness
The shortage of Spanish-speaking social workers is significant in the United States, especially in border states such as Texas. Experts are calling for Spanish language training in social work education. However, it is unclear whether social work programs are incorporating Spanish into their curriculum at a pace needed to keep up with demand. Using conceptual content analysis, this article examines the frequency of Spanish language courses relevant to social work education across Texas.

Domestic Violence Survivors And Resiliency: An Investigation Of Belief In God And Faith Factors Impacting Survivors’ Ability To Leave And Thrive Post-Violence, Sherry A. Palmer
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose [KC1.1]of this phenomenological study is to describe the role of faith in the process of leaving an abusive relationship for IPV survivors who believe in God from MA. The theories guiding the study include the survival theory of DV created by Gondolf and Fisher (1988), which believes victims of DV as survivors who most times do desire and seek help and should not be viewed as passive victims. Further, resilience theory builds on survival theory, which will guide the inquiry regarding resiliency. Survival theory and resilience theory both view survivors of DV not as helpless victims but as …
From Theology To Practice: A Faith-Based Financial Literacy Program For Church Leaders And Congregants, Jacklyn Morrison
From Theology To Practice: A Faith-Based Financial Literacy Program For Church Leaders And Congregants, Jacklyn Morrison
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This Dissertation-in-Praxis addresses the pressing need for financial literacy within church communities by developing a faith-based financial education program tailored for Reignited Worship Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite the abundance of biblical teachings on stewardship, many churches and their members experience chronic financial instability, limiting ministry effectiveness and personal well-being. The praxis project identifies a gap between theological understanding and practical financial management among African American congregants, exacerbated by systemic economic challenges and limited educational resources. Guided by biblical principles and a holistic ministry approach, this study proposes a comprehensive program integrating scriptural stewardship with practical financial tools. The …
“Forward Into Light”: The Shaping Of The Suffrage Ideology Of Alice Paul And The Practical Theological Application Of The Quaker Spices In The American Women’S Suffrage Movement, Alice L. Alvarado
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
In 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution gave women the right to vote after decades of dedication and agitation by women in their monumental fight to win the franchise. Alice Paul, a second-generation suffragist, dedicated her life to the cause and became the new face of the suffrage movement in Progressive America. A birthright Hicksite Quaker, Alice Paul’s ancestry can be traced back to the Quakers of England, and her extended family connected with early practitioners such as George Fox, along with a blood relation to William Penn. Paul’s Quaker ancestry, Quaker upbringing, Quaker guarded education, and …
Being Radical Community: “Pleasure Activism” In Higher Education, Misty D. Saribal, Taisha Mcmickens Dr.
Being Radical Community: “Pleasure Activism” In Higher Education, Misty D. Saribal, Taisha Mcmickens Dr.
Feminist Pedagogy
This paper argues for the necessity of pleasure in abolitionist pedagogy as a condition for sustaining movements toward collective liberation. Grounded in abolition feminism and radical pedagogy, it introduces the “Pleasure Activism Lineage” (PAL) as a tool for cultivating campus movement communities through joy, care, and collective resistance. Drawing on adrienne maree brown’s framework of pleasure activism, the PAL assignment invites students and educators to trace transformative influences, reclaim subversive forms of joy, and build solidarities rooted in liberatory traditions. By centering pleasure as a site of resistance, this project disrupts the pitifully punitive logics and pessimistically professionalizing ethos of …

There Is No Finish Line: The Intersection Of Sport And Race In St. Louis During The Civil Rights Era, Brandon Winfred Black
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This project focuses on the intersection of sport and race in St. Louis during the 1950s and 1960s, revealing how Black athletes became both symbols of progress and targets of resistance, illustrating the broader Civil Rights Movement’s parallel fight for visibility and systemic change. St. Louis was a city of contrasts. Its location and culture made it a focal point for the racial struggles that defined the Civil Rights Movement, often symbolizing both the persistence of inequality and the potential for change. Black athletes not only challenged racial barriers on the field but also catalyzed social change off it, revealing …

Foregrounding Subplots And Shifting Practices In Co-Design: An Ethnographic Journey In A Chinese Village, Jingyuan Tan
Foregrounding Subplots And Shifting Practices In Co-Design: An Ethnographic Journey In A Chinese Village, Jingyuan Tan
IASDR Conference Series
Co-design is increasingly recognized as a means of public participation with the potential to bridge top-down policies and locally grounded change. Yet, when professional co-design practices remain aligned with dominant narratives of progress, they risk becoming instruments of govern mentality, reinforcing existing hierarchies and marginalizing local communities. This raises a critical question: how can co-design praxis disentangle itself from these narratives and attune to local competencies and imaginaries, particularly in rural contexts shaped by centralized governance? This research is embedded in a two-year co-design initiative focused on age-friendliness improvements in a village in Southern China. It employs design ethnographic approaches …

Toward Robot-Driven Elderly Care Home Services And Systems In Hong Kong: An Ecosystem Perspective, Sanqi Yang, Jaehyun Park, Ting Han
IASDR Conference Series
In previous studies, researchers have highlighted the potential of robots and gerontechnologies to address the current caregiver shortage and enhance elderly care home services and systems. Yet most established robot-driven elderly care services and systems often fail to deliver value in actual service environments. Therefore, our study explores design features of robot-driven elderly care home services and systems from a service ecosystem perspective. To address this, we adopted an ecosystem theory incorporating economic, environmental, cultural, and social systems, and conducted multiple field observations in four care homes in Hong Kong. Surprisingly, we found most robot services and systems were overlooked …

Beyond Prefixes And Suffixes: A Systematic Literature Review Of Doctoral Education In Art And Design, Luke Feast
Beyond Prefixes And Suffixes: A Systematic Literature Review Of Doctoral Education In Art And Design, Luke Feast
IASDR Conference Series
This systematic review examines the literature on doctoral education in art and design. We analysed 1,086 publications to categorise different approaches to art and design doctorates. Our analysis reveals three distinct doctoral types aligned with different educational aims: knowledge development doctorates emphasising systematic research and theoretical contribution; social utility doctorates focusing on professional practice and practical application; and individual development doctorates prior it ising artistic self-discovery and creative expression. The apparent confusion in the field, reflected in debates about terminology such as "research through practice" versus "practice-based research," stems from fundamental disagreements about educational purposes rather than mere semantic differences. …

Artifacts As Mediators: Translating Co-Creation Into Organizational Well-Being In Chinese Soes, Ziwei Lin, Bicheng Wang, Jie Meng
IASDR Conference Series
In hierarchical organizations like Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), top-down structures exacerbate employee burnout and challenge the democratic ethos of co-creation. This paper reports on a two-year Research through Design (RtD) project that navigated this tension by co-designing the Happy Doodle Toolkit (HDT), a low-tech wellness intervention. This study first surveyed burnout with 222 questionnaires and 40 interviews, then used an Analytic-Hierarchy co-creation workshop (3 psychologists, 2 executives, 2 employees) to develop the Toolkit. In a four-week pilot, 38 participants produced 152 doodle diaries and paired MBI-GS surveys; t-tests showed significant drops in emotional exhaustion and cynicism and a rise in …

The Good Move-In: Enhancing Voice And Participation In Transitions To Supported Housing, Line Gad Christiansen, Joan Pedersen
IASDR Conference Series
This project explores the complexities surrounding the transition of young adults with special needs into municipally operated supported housing in Denmark. This life-changing move is managed by local municipalities and ideally involves collaboration between the resident, their relatives, and a caseworker. Despite the intention of ensuring participation and involvement, practical and emotional challenges often limit meaningful inclusion. The project ’The Good Move-in’ enabled the researchers to examine how such transitions are currently handled and developed methods to strengthen the voice and self-determination of residents—particularly those with limited verbal communication. Through interviews, visual tools, and co-creative tasks—including a construction task—the project …
Designing Ai Based Service For Dementia Care Through Innovation Management Lens: A Model Of Trust Through Imperfect Technology, Chu-Yun Lin, Mimi Nguyen
Designing Ai Based Service For Dementia Care Through Innovation Management Lens: A Model Of Trust Through Imperfect Technology, Chu-Yun Lin, Mimi Nguyen
IASDR Conference Series
As AI technologies increasingly enter ethically sensitive domains like healthcare, questions emerge about how to design for trust, transparency, and appropriate human-AI interaction. This paper examines how imperfection in AI systems - when made interpret able and ethically governed - can become a design feature rather than a flaw, especially in the context of dementia care. Situated in Taiwan’s rapidly ageing demographic, the study engages with the dual tensions between technological efficiency and relational care. Through a quantitative survey (n=70) and statistical analysis, it interrogates how design strategies such as 'controllable imperfection' and 'exiting mechanisms' influence user trust, emotional attachment, …

Encountering Automation Surprise In Everyday Automated Driving: An Exploratory Phenomenological Inspired Study Using A Wizard‐Of‐Oz Vehicle On Real Motorways, Haoyu Dong, Yuanzi Wang, Pavlo Bazilinskyy, Miguel Bruns, Marieke Martens
IASDR Conference Series
Automation Surprise (AS) has traditionally been studied as a system‐ or user‐induced failure in high‐risk or safety‐critical domains. However, as automated vehicles (AVs) enter everyday mobility, wearguefora shift in perspective: from As as failure, to ASasalivedexperience. This study explores how ASunfolds during non‐critical automated driving, using a phenomenologically informed, design research approach. We conducted a Wizard‐of‐Ozstudy in which participants experienced automated driving on realroads. By mainly interpreting interview data, we show how subtle mismatches between AVbehaviouranduser expectations can trigger surprise, even when the system performs technically correctly. These moments involved embodied sensations, attentionalshifts, and sensemaking of the environment. We propose …
