Lived Experiences Of Adults Who Were Removed From Primary Caregiver And Placed In Foster Care Before Age Three, Jillian Eve Young
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The capacity to form attachments early in life with important and primary caregivers can significantly influence a child’s psychological development in numerous areas across the life span. Healthy attachments early in life have been shown to be essential; however, due to various situations, many children have trouble developing healthy attachments or experience disruptions with primary/important caregivers. This transcendental phenomenological study focused specifically on the lived experiences of adults ages 18-64 (born between 1960 and 2004) who were removed from their primary/important caregiver during the first three years (even temporarily) and placed into foster care. In these circumstances, it could be …

Bridge Over Troubled Water: Crossing The Bridge Between Biblical Confession And Pastoral Practice Regarding Divorce And Remarriage In Unie-Abc Congregations, Marco H. Kälin
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Quite a few pastoral workers within the Unie-ABC perceive a discordance between their churches’ biblical-theological confessions regarding divorce and remarriage and the pastoral practice in which they minister. This could induce tension in which a pastoral worker’s counsel is constrained by the church’s biblical position on these issues. In order to diminish that gap, the purpose of this action research project is to implement a redesigned biblical-theological framework regarding divorce and remarriage in training seminars for Unie-ABC pastoral counselors. The project utilized quantitative data collected through email responses and documents provided by Unie-ABC congregations. In addition, qualitative data was developed …

History Professors' Attitudes About Civil War Monument Removal: A Qualitative Study, Natania Y. Piper
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Violence in the United States is on the rise creating movements such as Black Lives Matter and others who call attention to ongoing racism in our country. One area of argument within the discussions of racism is the presence of Civil War monuments (CWMs) throughout the country. Many support the destruction, deconstruction, or relocation of these monuments, due to arguments that they are intended to demean and subjugate racial minorities. Others argue they do not carry this intent or meaning and are simply a memorial to former leaders. Little research exists that explores historian perspectives on this issue. The purpose …

Supervision Success: Experience Of Supervisee's Successful Navigation Of A Faith-Based Value Conflict, Veronica R. Conley
Supervision Success: Experience Of Supervisee's Successful Navigation Of A Faith-Based Value Conflict, Veronica R. Conley
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Due to the counseling field’s recommendations for best practice, counselors should not refer a client solely based on a value conflict (American Counseling Association [ACA], 2014; Kaplan et al., 2017; Remley & Herlihy, 2020). Yet many feel unprepared or unsupported to navigate faith-based value conflicts (Blair, 2015; Hunt, 2019; Sells & Hagedorn, 2016). This study explored the strengths side of this issue, interviewing counselors or counselors in training (CIT) and exploring how a supervisor who did not align with them spiritually aided them in successfully navigating a faith-based value conflict.

A Quantitative Descriptive Study Of Authentic Leadership Practices And Attracting The Millennial Generation, Bria L. Tillman
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The millennial generation represents the largest group of the American population, but this statistic is not reflected in local church attendance. Barna Group (2022) explains that many millennials have a relationship with God but are absent from church due to certain customs, leadership practices, and lack of belonging. This rationale is the basis of this research, designed to explore church leadership practices and how to create leadership that builds trustworthy, transparent, and authentic relationships. This descriptive study aimed to examine the extent to which Avolio, Gardner, and Walumbwa’s (2018) authentic leadership practices of transparency, trustworthiness, and relevancy attract millennials to …

China’S Infiltration Of The U.S. Higher Education System, Joshua Harden
China’S Infiltration Of The U.S. Higher Education System, Joshua Harden
Helms School of Government Spring Public Policy Conference
The People’s Republic of China has established numerous methodologies for power projection. A portion of this process is its assertion and coercion of higher education to spread communist ideology and Sino-centric narratives to either directly or indirectly press the goals of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). China’s assertion of soft power in higher education highlights an acute risk to the stability of a democratic government as its principles are slowly eroded. The CCP utilizes the internationalism of higher education, foreign exchange students, and the development of higher education institutions abroad to facilitate the ideological change of a nation’s image. The …

Nuclear Weaponry & The International System, Shannon Morlock
Helms School of Government Spring Public Policy Conference
The invention of nuclear weapons has majorly impacted the international system, altering the dynamics of warfare, diplomacy, and national security.

Classical Worldview And Secular Materialism: Natural Law And The Political Ideals Of Modernity In The Formation Of Consequential Public Policy, David W. Bolton
Helms School of Government Spring Public Policy Conference
Historically, morality has been rooted in and expressed through a religious lens. Early views on morality were often formed under the auspices of the reward/penalty social contract displayed in historical religious texts. Questions arise. If morality did not have a basis in religion, from where would its ideals and structure be provided for otherwise? How does one evaluate the standards and effectiveness of secular morality? In this paper, the major factors exposing the failures of modern secular materialistic liberalism will be explored: freedom of choice and modern liberal politics; God’s existence as a cardinal assumption of all philosophy and the …

Tackling Violent Extremism And Terrorism In Ghana: Approaches And Strategies Adopted By Non-State Actors, Peter Joilah Lambon
Helms School of Government Spring Public Policy Conference
Globally, non-state actors have played crucial roles in supporting the state in key areas of national security and defense. The recent spread of violent extremism and terrorism within the West African-sub-region, particularly within the Sahel region, has called for a renewed spirit of partnership and cooperation between state and non-state actors in tackling these emerging threats. This is evidenced in the sporadic nature of attacks carried out by jihadists and terrorist cells across the Sahel region. Ghana’s close door neighbor’s, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, are currently being threatened by violent extremists and terrorist’s cells within the Sahel region. There …
