The American Psyche Of The 1900s: A Nation In Disappointments, Jany Cabezas Mar 2007

The American Psyche Of The 1900s: A Nation In Disappointments, Jany Cabezas

Undergraduate Student Symposium

There is a psychological mind frame that persists where the American dream is pursued. Disappointments are a part of American life, both in the 1900s and today. In Glaspell’s Trifles and William’s The Glass Menagerie, each character in society portrays the American Psyche and different methods to cope with disappointments. From the disillusionments of war to the unrealistic expectation of parental units, both works display issues of the psychological mind in 1900 American Literature. Multiple perspectives of coping show how the psyche reacts to lack of feminism and failed expectations; responding to the struggles is unique and defines the …


Nuclear Fuels Dominant Over Fossil Fuels?, Arthur Graber, Kim Pham, Aisha Syed Mar 2007

Nuclear Fuels Dominant Over Fossil Fuels?, Arthur Graber, Kim Pham, Aisha Syed

Undergraduate Student Symposium

With decreases in fossil fuel reserves and the resulting increases in price (especially with the war in Iraq), converting to nuclear power just may be the proper solution to this political, economical and social conundrum. Nuclear energy and fossil fuels work similarly in that they are used to heat up water into steam, which in turn pumps turbines to create electricity. However, they differ in the fuel they use to heat the water, which brings forth various disadvantages as well as advantages. Could it be possible that nuclear energy, even with its higher costs and higher risks of releasing radioactive …


Anthropogenic Effects On Biodiversity, Abir Rahman Mar 2007

Anthropogenic Effects On Biodiversity, Abir Rahman

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Humans are consumers and rely on the environment surrounding them for survival. Early in human history our populations were small and resources were relatively unlimited. However, our numbers have been increasing exponentially and with this population explosion has come greater demands for resources. Frequently, our development and resource allocation causes detrimental environmental impacts. For instance, destruction and fragmentation of habitats and increased pollution have led to a reduction in animal abundance and species richness. Severe impacts on some habitats have left many species without adequate resources available to survive, which ultimately results in extinction. “It is the nature of human …

How Qualitative Research Changed Me: A Narrative Of Personal Growth, Avital Feuer Mar 2007

How Qualitative Research Changed Me: A Narrative Of Personal Growth, Avital Feuer

The Qualitative Report

This piece recounts personal changes I underwent while collecting data for my dissertation. Stemming from my own personal experiences of anomie and feelings of not belonging to the languages and cultures of either Canada or Israel , this inquiry examined the collusion of my attitudes with the attitudes of advanced Hebrew learners of diverse backgrounds and beliefs in a Canadian undergraduate university class. As the themes of claims and ownership of the Hebrew language emerged between clashing sub-groups in the classroom, I examined my own biases and stereotypes regarding language, and ultimately grew into a peaceful acceptance of my position …

Towards An Understanding Of Excellence In Ur Ban Pedagogy: A Portrait Of A High School, Renu Ahuja

The Qualitative Report

This case study describes processes in an urban high school, which contribute to excellence in urban pedagogy, and investigates teachers’ and educational leaders’ perceptions of the factors influencing their commitment to school success. Six themes related to excellence in urban pedagogy were identified. Data in the form of semi-structured interviews, observations, and document review de scribe a school in which the leadership strives to develop human capability at all levels through empowerment and shared decision-making. The study indicates that students’ achievement is a collective responsibility and strong instructional leadership is a key for success in urban schools. More studies may …

TQR editorial team members will discuss the history of the journal, their philosophy of author development; manuscript development strategies; solutions for managing differences; challenges working worldwide; authors’ feedback; and the collective global futures of TQR and qualitative researcher


Oral History As A Social Justice Project: Issues For The Qualitative Researcher, Valerie J. Janesick Mar 2007

Oral History As A Social Justice Project: Issues For The Qualitative Researcher, Valerie J. Janesick

The Qualitative Report

I am writing this to assist researchers in training and experienced researchers in understanding ways to view oral history as a social justice project. This paper will illuminate the importance of oral history in terms of enriching the knowledge base of qualitative research methods as well. Oral history provides us with an avenue of thick description, analysis, and interpretation of people’s lives through probing the past in order to understand the present .The postmodern appreciation of the study of people and their stories, those stories from persons generally on the outside or periphery of society, offer a unique opportunity to …


Qualitative Research In Counseling: A Reflection For Novice Counselor Researchers, Randolph Bowers, Victor Minichiello, David Plummer Mar 2007

Qualitative Research In Counseling: A Reflection For Novice Counselor Researchers, Randolph Bowers, Victor Minichiello, David Plummer

The Qualitative Report

Counselors practice in a wide range of disciplines, but also represent a distinct discipline separate from medicine, psychology, and social work. Particularly in countries like Australia, Canada, and the Asia Pacific nations, as a relatively new field, counseling is taking up the challenges of encouraging a research culture that can both critique and support clinical practice and counselor education. This paper is thus written to support novice counselor researchers, and to inspire an emerging research culture through sharing formative experiences and lessons learned during a qualitative research project exploring minority issues in counseling.
