Between The Waves: A Historiographical Analysis Of The Long Women’S Movement, Tiffany Clapp
Between The Waves: A Historiographical Analysis Of The Long Women’S Movement, Tiffany Clapp
2020 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity
Feminism, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is the advocacy of women’s rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. Historically, the feminist movement has been categorized by two distinct waves. The first wave began around 1890 and is stated to have ended in 1920, after women successfully obtained the right to vote with the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The second wave does not occur until the 1960s and would continue into to the modern era. However, this paper is addressing how historians theorized about the “Long Feminist” movement that occurred between the two distinct …
Increasing On-Task Behavior With The Utilization Of A Verbal And Visual Prompt, Haley Pierce
Increasing On-Task Behavior With The Utilization Of A Verbal And Visual Prompt, Haley Pierce
2020 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity
A 1st grade student participated in a study that evaluated effectiveness of using a verbal and visual prompt to stay on task. An A-B-A single subject design was utilized. It was hypothesized that with a verbal and visual prompt the child would stay on-task and not want to escape the activity. Direct small group instruction with two to four students occurred twice a week for 50-minute sessions. Duration data was taken for 30 minutes of the time to see if the behavior increased. Baseline results found that the student was on task 25 minutes and 50 seconds out of a …

Into The World We Go, The Peace Corps Program As A Facet Of America-Ghana Relations, Godwin Gyimah
2020 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity
After Ghana had attained its independence in 1957, Nkrumah’s greatest domestic challenge became the transformation of the Ghanaian educational system as a tool towards modernizing the newly independent country. Having spent many years under colonial rule, little attention had been paid to the Ghanaian education system resulting in only a five percent literacy rate in 1957 when Ghana attained its independence. Upon assuming power, Nkrumah developed a Five-Year Plan which sought to ensure self-sufficiency in Ghana through universal education, a tool of a modernized nation. To enhance the ambition of making Ghana self-sufficient, the education sector had a role to …
The Impact Of Board Composition And Activity On Non-Performing Loans, Md Nurul Islam
The Impact Of Board Composition And Activity On Non-Performing Loans, Md Nurul Islam
2020 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity
This paper examines the impact of board composition and activity on bank non-performing loans (NPLs). The empirical evidence suggests that NPLs are negatively related to board independence, separation between the CEO and chairman roles, directors with financial expertise, and the frequency of committee meetings. Additionally, we find that, during the financial crisis period (2008–2009), a large board size and the presence of female directors may also help lower NPLs. The results support the hypothesis that shareholder-friendly bank boards and active boards are more effective monitors, and thus help lower bank’s NPLs.
The Effects Of Gall Formation Due To Gall-Inducing Insects On Solidago Altissima’S Stem Height, Sarah Mummel
The Effects Of Gall Formation Due To Gall-Inducing Insects On Solidago Altissima’S Stem Height, Sarah Mummel
2020 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity
Gall-inducing insects are an old evolutionary member of our world, but little is known about their impact on goldenrod, Solidago altissima’s growth and development. We tested the relationship between gall diameter and stem height and the effects of gall presence on stem height. We sampled 20 random 1m2 plots along a 30 meter long transect in a goldenrod field to find rosette and ball galls growing upon goldenrod. This transect was one of five other parallel transects, totaling approximately 150 m2 of land. We measured heights of galled plants, heights of healthy nearby plants, and the diameter …
The Role Of Language Education In Peacebuilding: The Case Of Cyprus, Maya Hunter
The Role Of Language Education In Peacebuilding: The Case Of Cyprus, Maya Hunter
2020 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity
In the context of post-conflict, linguistically divided societies, the promotion of a third language in national educational policy can be a catalyst for the creation of a syncretic national identity and an invaluable cornerstone of peacebuilding education. The promotion of humanistic values through foreign language instruction can provide younger generations in divided societies the social and practical education necessary to establish and maintain positive intercommunal dialogues. Such multipurpose lessons have been used to facilitate peacebuilding in cases ranging from Rwanda to the Balkans, but could they work in Cyprus? And if so, how? This research aims to answer that question …

Hypochondria And Interpersonal Relationships, Cynthia Kmety
2020 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity
Interpersonal relationships are important parts of our everyday lives, that can affect how we interact with others and can affect health status. This view on interpersonal relationships is often overlooked, however. This study was conducted with the goal of analyzing how the presence of hypochondria affects interpersonal relationships. It was hypothesized that those who have hypochondria will experience more negative interpersonal relationships. The researcher conducted a study using a survey that was administered to sixty-nine people. Results of the research and survey found that there were strained interpersonal relationship between people who have connections to hypochondria. Further research needs to …

Debunking Eurocentrism In Organizational Communication Theory: Marginality And Liquidities In Postcolonial Contexts, Joëlle Cruz, Chigozirim Utah
Debunking Eurocentrism In Organizational Communication Theory: Marginality And Liquidities In Postcolonial Contexts, Joëlle Cruz, Chigozirim Utah
Faculty Research and Creative Activity
This article centers marginal organizational actors—the disenfranchised of the Global South—to remedy their theoretical erasure and disrupt the Anglo-American grand narrative of organizational communication. This task is urgent amidst discussions of decolonization and whiteness in the discipline. We reengage Western theory on liquidity, hereby conceptualized as shape-shifting and adaptive organizing, moving like a liquid at the margins. We draw on fieldworks in Nigeria and Liberia to unearth three properties of liquidity in postcolonial contexts: motion, solvency, and permeability. Motion refers to movement, solvency refers to the ability to dissolve into one’s surroundings, and permeability refers to organizing that infiltrates life …

Revitalizing Scholarship On Academic Collective Bargaining, Daniel J. Julius
Revitalizing Scholarship On Academic Collective Bargaining, Daniel J. Julius
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
Research on unions in academe began in the 1960s and 1970s. It continued in the 1980s as greater numbers of faculty organized but then declined in the 1990s, with the exception of a small group of scholars who continue to study and comment on labor management relations in post-secondary education. Many prognostications, originally put forward in the 1970s and 1980s, remain unexamined. The last two decades in particular, have seen less attention focused on unions in academe. Organizing efforts continue to be robust, and advocates from all vantage points continue to offer arguments both in favor or against collective bargaining. …
Adjuncts And The Chimera Of Academic Freedom, Deirdre M. Frontczak
Adjuncts And The Chimera Of Academic Freedom, Deirdre M. Frontczak
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
The last 40 years have seen a dramatic shift in the hiring, evaluation and promotional structures prevalent in higher education. While the model of a largely full time, tenure-track faculty continues to be the ideal of most academic institutions, economic, political and social changes have eroded that model. A substantial percentage, typically a majority, of college and university faculty are now hired on a contingent or part-time basis, with fiscal and other conditions determining job security, compensation, professional advancement, and an opportunity to participate in governance of departments and institutions. This paper examines the unseen impact that such hiring practices …

Strong Fusion Of Social Unionism And Normative Contract Negotiations: A Square Peg In A Round Hole?, Barry Miller
Strong Fusion Of Social Unionism And Normative Contract Negotiations: A Square Peg In A Round Hole?, Barry Miller
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
This paper considers a recent strike at York University in Toronto, Canada by three units of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 3903, representing teaching assistants, contract or adjunct faculty and graduate assistants. The consideration of the strike has a two-fold purpose: The first is to situate it within the concept of social unionism, illustrating how this concept assists in understanding the strike beyond its strictly local and sector context. The second purpose is to consider how the strike reflects back on social unionism. In this regard, the paper considers challenges that can arise from the fusion of normative …

Examining The Employment Profile Of Institutions Under The Mission-Driven Classification System And The Impact Of Collective Bargaining, Louis Shedd, Stephen G. Katsinas, Nathaniel Bray
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
The focus of this study is an analysis of institutions, salary expenditures, employment categories (full-time professors by academic rank), and number and average pay of full-time faculty. Our new mission-driven classification system provides the framework for the analysis and specifically presents the data by both the presence or lack of a collective bargaining agreement. The goal of this paper is to illustrate differences in monetary compensation of full time faculty using the mission-driven classification system (as opposed to the Carnegie Classification) and to see the impact of the presence or lack of collective bargaining agreements. We argue that the Carnegie …

Maintaining Peer-Based Faculty Evaluation: A Case Study Involving Student Surveys Of Teaching, Laura Murphy, Leah M. Akins
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
Bargaining regarding faculty evaluation is challenging in an environment in which administrators throughout higher education have successfully imposed corporate-style forms of evaluation and supervision that many have come to accept as normal, despite their incompatibility with principles of academic freedom and peer-review. Student surveys of teaching are increasingly central to this management strategy, despite the growing body of evidence indicating bias against historically marginalized groups in student survey results. This paper presents a case study of contract negotiations undertaken in 2016 at Dutchess Community College (SUNY) in Poughkeepsie, New York. During these negotiations the college administration sought to expand the …
