Dewey And Merleau-Ponty: Science, Experience, And Nature, Michael Timm
Dewey And Merleau-Ponty: Science, Experience, And Nature, Michael Timm
Center for Dewey Studies Essay Award
This paper defends comparisons between pragmatist and phenomenological philosophies of science by comparing Dewey and Merleau-Ponty’s philosophies of science or scientific method. Merleau-Ponty might be said to “answer the phenomenological tradition’s criticism of naturalism” from within the Husserlian phenomenological tradition itself, revindicating the consensus between pragmatism and phenomenology set forth by Rosenthal and Bourgeois. In the absence of an argument that “methodological inconsistency” amounts to methodological illegitimacy, phenomenology ought not reject pragmatist philosophies of science because the Husserlian phenomenological tradition espouses a relative naturalism not unlike pragmatist naturalism. More importantly, this consensus with pragmatism sustains phenomenology’s own critique of scientism.
The Epistemological Dimension Of Dewey’S Emergentist Metaphysics: Sense And Signification, Andrii Leonov
The Epistemological Dimension Of Dewey’S Emergentist Metaphysics: Sense And Signification, Andrii Leonov
Center for Dewey Studies Essay Award
I argue that Dewey had a kind of naturalistic or pragmatic epistemology already in his Experience and Nature which constitutes the Pragmatic Epistemology View. Dewey’s naturalistic epistemology is exemplified by his theory of “sense” and “signification” and as such is the first order consequence of Dewey’s second order qualitative naturalism. Instead of the classical epistemological question, “How is knowledge possible anyway, überhaupt?”, Dewey’s pragmatically reconstructed version of it would be “How do we make sense of the world that is around us?” Instead of the classical “theory of knowledge,” Dewey’s pragmatic epistemology can be seen as a theory …
The (Dis)Continuity Of Meaning In John Dewey’S Experience And Nature, Harrison S. Jackson
The (Dis)Continuity Of Meaning In John Dewey’S Experience And Nature, Harrison S. Jackson
Center for Dewey Studies Essay Award
Experience and Nature proposes a naturalistic empiricism emphasizing continuity. This paper will argue that this continuity is threatened by Dewey’s anthropocentric in its account of meaning, which is only found in humans but is necessary for the perception of objects, communication, and social existence. Given contemporary research in ethology, Dewey’s denotative method requires a modification of this account. I will propose Merleau-Ponty’s notion of sense or the neuroscientific theory of enactivism as supplements preserving embodiment and social communication while being more continuous. Finally, I examine some recent applications of Dewey’s naturalism and show how they modify this account of meaning.
The Supernatural Shadow Of The Philosophic Fallacy: A Critical Examination Of John Dew-Ey’S Experience And Nature, Danica Jenck
The Supernatural Shadow Of The Philosophic Fallacy: A Critical Examination Of John Dew-Ey’S Experience And Nature, Danica Jenck
Center for Dewey Studies Essay Award
In Experience and Nature, John Dewey asserts the existence of the philosophic fallacy. He describes the philosophic fallacy as understanding reality through abstractions rather than material causes that are situated in experience. However, Dewey’s writings on moral and religious development, particularly his criticisms of the supernatural, puts his philosophic fallacy into question. I argue that Dewey’s rejection of the supernatural is a mistake that limits his ability to clearly articulate his metaphysical project, demonstrating that Dewey’s rejection of supernatural experience commits the philosophic fallacy and is based in a Eurocentric tendency that can be escaped by challenging Eurocentric metaphysical …
High School Student Reflections Of In-School Suspension: A Mixed Methods Study, Daniel L. Booth
High School Student Reflections Of In-School Suspension: A Mixed Methods Study, Daniel L. Booth
Ed.D. Capstone Reports
In response to Illinois Senate Bill 100, secondary schools have increasingly relied on in-school suspension (ISS) as a disciplinary measure for addressing major behavioral infractions. As a result, ISS has evolved into a long-term holding environment for students who repeatedly engage in misconduct. This study aimed to explore the experiences of high school students who were assigned ISS multiple times during the 2023-24 academic year. Specifically, it examined students’ perceptions of their high school environment through the lens of repeated ISS assignment. The findings offer insights into how the ISS setting can be restructured to better support students and reduce …

Online Journal for Workforce Education and Development
The call for establishing a workforce development college in Liberia is a growing necessity that cannot be ignored or overlooked. The call is growing louder. This article seeks to contribute to the discourse by proposing concrete justification for achieving such a worthy endeavor. A workforce education deficiency highlights a long-standing gap in the workforce sector that needs to be addressed sustainably. Workforce education provides several advantages for enhancing essential workforce skills and competencies. It lays the basis for collaboration among stakeholders.

Connect 2 Cope: Stress And Coping Strategies Associated With University Honors Students, Anna R. Rodgers
Connect 2 Cope: Stress And Coping Strategies Associated With University Honors Students, Anna R. Rodgers
Honors Theses
Coping and connecting are two things that college students don’t take a course in but are essential qualities they will need beyond their time in the university, in both work and life. This research sought to understand how students at Southern Illinois University, with special focus on Honors students, experience stress and view connection as a coping mechanism. It gives insights into sources of stress, including pressures that are external to university life and impact student mental health. The participants included SIUC Honors Students and SIU Non-Honors Students. I was also able to ask each group of students their perceptions …
Argentina's Working Class And Milei, Evan J. Bryant
Argentina's Working Class And Milei, Evan J. Bryant
Research Papers
This paper investigates the electoral success of Javier Milei through a focused study of Argentina’s working class, analyzing the interplay between long-term economic stagnation, declining relative economic freedom, and static labor union policy support. Employing process tracing methodology, and drawing on both qualitative and quantitative data, the paper supports a shift in utility-maximizing political preferences among workers. This shift is evidenced by diminished labor union membership and influence, alongside Milei’s major electoral success. The analysis accounts for potential confounding variables, including global economic trends and informal labor growth, ultimately isolating domestic political-economic dynamics as primary drivers of this transformation.
The Problem Of The Whiteness Of Wealth, Elizabeth Tharakan
The Problem Of The Whiteness Of Wealth, Elizabeth Tharakan
Dissertations
In 2021, households with a White householder made up 65.3% of all U.S. households and held 80.0% of all wealth. Those with a Black householder made up 13.6% of all U.S. households but held only 4.7% of all wealth. And their median wealth ($24,520) was about one-tenth the median wealth of households with a White householder ($250,400). This disparity in Black wealth and White wealth is almost an order of magnitude. I seek to understand why the racial wealth gap exists and what people of any race can learn from a nuanced understanding of the interplay among culture, education, and …
Don’T Stop Game, The Effects Of A Demerit-Based System, David Buckles
Don’T Stop Game, The Effects Of A Demerit-Based System, David Buckles
Theses
Physical activity is an essential component of an overall healthy lifestyle. It has been shown that implementing weekly physical activities reduces the risk of non-communicative diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. There have been an increasing number of studies showing that the physical activity of those with learning disabilities is much lower than that of neurotypical individuals. More studies are needed to identify effective interventions to increase the physical activity of those with learning disabilities. The current study evaluated the effect of the Don’t Stop Game on the mean number of steps taken per minute with adults …

Jenifer Michaels. A History., Farrah Freibert
Jenifer Michaels. A History., Farrah Freibert
Publications
Jenifer Michaels was a legendary subcultural star within the gay liberation film milieu of 1970s Los Angeles. Taking three paths to approaching and interpreting Michaels’s filmic and archival image, this article is structured by an analysis of Michaels’s documentary appearances, her performance in sex films, and her statements published in a textual interview. Working against what I call historiographic gentrification, the article utilizes archival and micro-historical methods to think through Michaels’s subcultural stardom as a nexus for complicating biography, documentary, and the politics of veracity.

Love And Stereotypes: An Autoethnography Of Intercultural Marriages, Folakemi Bakare
Research Papers
This research report delves into the complexities of intercultural marriage challenges deeply rooted in traditions, cultural beliefs, and stereotypes, shaping societal and familial attitudes and perceptions towards such unions. This study employs autoethnography (dialogues and composite characters) to explore resistance and shifts in attitudes towards intercultural marriages within society, family and friends. The research incorporates personal narratives to highlight how cultural essentialism, incompatibility, generational differences, and language barriers shape conversations around intercultural marriages. Using Fishers Walter’s (1984) Narrative Paradigm emphasizes how conversations and stories influence and shape people’s perceptions. In addition, Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1986) provides a …

Improving Training Modalities For Parent-Implemented Aba Interventions, Tillia R. Dillon
Improving Training Modalities For Parent-Implemented Aba Interventions, Tillia R. Dillon
Research Papers
Parent-implemented interventions based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) have become a crucial component in supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Parental involvement enhances consistency across settings and promotes the generalization of skills. Parental involvement has been correlated to improving developmental and behavioral outcomes, but training modalities remain a critical area of focus. The literature review explores current training modalities to provide parents with ABA techniques, emphasizing the use of behavior skills training (BST) and video modeling (VM). BST, which incorporates instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback, has shown effectiveness in parent fidelity in implementing interventions. Similarly, VM is a valuable …
The Effects Of Token Economies On Responding In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Alyissa Hentz
The Effects Of Token Economies On Responding In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Alyissa Hentz
Research Papers
Research demonstrating the effectiveness of token economies as a behavioral intervention spans several decades. Behavior analytic research specifically utilizing token economies peaked in the 1970’s, with sporadic development since (Doll et al., 2013; Hackenberg 2018). Despite the long history of research surrounding token economies, there is little research focused on the token itself. Much of the research that underscores the token focuses more on the pairing of the token with backup reinforcers. Yet, by using objects of obsession or perseverative interest items as tokens, both Charlop-Christy and Haymes (2014) and Carnett et al. (2014) saw higher levels of on-task behavior …

Winning The Battle, Losing The War: Rahimi, Women, And The Supreme Court, Dana Raigrodski
Winning The Battle, Losing The War: Rahimi, Women, And The Supreme Court, Dana Raigrodski
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
Domestic violence and DV-related firearm use are a grave and persistent issue in the United States and have an extensive harmful and deadly impact in the lives of many women. In its 2024 Rahimi decision, the United States Supreme Court held that, as applied to the facts of the case, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), which bans firearms possession by those subject to a DV protective order, is facially constitutional under the Second Amendment. The Court upheld § 922(g)(8) under Bruen’s “Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulations” test, finding that founding era laws included provisions preventing individuals who threaten physical …

Ethical Deliberations: Representing The Accused In Civil Cases Involving Intimate Partner And Domestic Violence, Dana Harrington Conner
Ethical Deliberations: Representing The Accused In Civil Cases Involving Intimate Partner And Domestic Violence, Dana Harrington Conner
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
This Article explores the representation of those accused of committing acts of intimate partner violence (IPV) and domestic violence (DV) in the civil context and the professional duties that flow from the lawyer-client relationship. Resolving ethical questions that arise in the representation of the accused demands an understanding of how the two prevailing responses to intimate partner violence—criminal prosecution and civil protection—differ in purpose and outcome. Although ethical practice in these two distinct areas requires that the lawyer observe diverse legal protocols, one must also acknowledge the co-occurrence of criminal prosecution and civil protection that arises in cases involving intimate …
“I’M Not That Kind Of Lawyer” No Longer Cuts It: A Call For Mandatory Domestic Violence Cles Across The Legal Profession, Ashley N. Dorsey
“I’M Not That Kind Of Lawyer” No Longer Cuts It: A Call For Mandatory Domestic Violence Cles Across The Legal Profession, Ashley N. Dorsey
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
All attorneys should know about domestic violence. The misconception that it appears only in family law matters is not only mistaken, it is downright fatal. Domestic violence is a pervasive, stigmatized crime, affecting more than twelve million people annually. The nature of this hidden crime invites myriad crossover legal issues with nearly every area of the law. Because of this, every attorney should be familiar with domestic violence and know how to recognize the warning signs. While there are the more obvious indications, such as bruises and unexplainable injuries, education is necessary to recognize the numerous subtle signs that often …
Crime Or Care?: International Laws To Address “Control” In Violence Within Domestic Relationships, Pavithra Rajendran
Crime Or Care?: International Laws To Address “Control” In Violence Within Domestic Relationships, Pavithra Rajendran
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
Violence within domestic relationships remains a persistent form of discrimination against women. Initially characterized by overt acts such as wife-beating, contemporary manifestations include various strategies employed by men to assert dominance over their partners. In the early twenty-first century, scholars like Evan Stark sought to understand this issue through the concept of coercive control, which was later recognized as a criminal offense in the United Kingdom in 2015. Today, as digital tools and diverse relationship dynamics have become commonplace, controlling behaviors have evolved to operate independently within domestic relationships, sometimes without overt coercion. This phenomenon is currently under scrutiny by …
The Words We Choose: An Analysis Of Terms Used In Domestic Violence Law, Evan Lovell
The Words We Choose: An Analysis Of Terms Used In Domestic Violence Law, Evan Lovell
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
In the field of domestic violence law, there is a lack of uniformity in the terms used to refer to those who harm others and those who experience that harm. This Article examines the meaning and cultural and legal prevalence of the terms: Victim, Survivor, Victim-Survivor, and Battered Wife/Spouse; and Abuser, Batterer, Perpetrator, and People who have Caused Harm, as well as Offender, Respondent, and Defendant. As an essential tool of persuasion, an analysis of these terms reveals that understanding the impact of these words is tantamount to respectful and empathetic advocacy.
A Labor Of Love: The Intersection Of Domestic Violence And Human Trafficking And Why Attorneys Have A Duty To Understand The Difference, Jessica Visage
A Labor Of Love: The Intersection Of Domestic Violence And Human Trafficking And Why Attorneys Have A Duty To Understand The Difference, Jessica Visage
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
The majority of human trafficking victims are obtained by someone they know, and frequently that person is an intimate partner. While education on human trafficking spreads, what remains is a very thin line between domestic violence and human trafficking, leaving victims, law enforcement, and legal professionals in the dark about how to identify the difference. With a massive overlap in how traffickers and abusers operate and the tools they use to maintain control over their victims, it is not surprising that many trafficking victims are unaware that they are being trafficked. Attorneys, regardless of what field of law they practice …

Challenging Masculinity To Combat Gbv In Kenya, Teresa Jacques Valenzuela, Juliet S. Sorrensen, Shannon R. Galvin, Megan M. Osadzinski, Patrick Mbullo Owuor
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a pervasive issue in Kenya, significantly affecting women and girls, particularly in rural areas. This Article examines the importance of involving men and boys in GBV prevention efforts, using insights from Pamoja, a community-based organization in Kisumu, Kenya. Drawing on community-based participatory research, this study highlights the need to address restrictive masculinity norms that perpetuate GBV. The findings underscore the potential of engaging men as allies to foster long-term behavioral change and promote gender equality. By analyzing Pamoja’s intervention strategies, this Article advocates for comprehensive, gender-transformative approaches that challenge entrenched societal norms.
Child “Protective” Services: Failing To Protect Children Exposed To Domestic Violence, Amber M. Alexander
Child “Protective” Services: Failing To Protect Children Exposed To Domestic Violence, Amber M. Alexander
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
This Note addresses the critical gaps in child welfare systems regarding domestic violence safety threat criteria. Although extensive research highlights the damaging effects of exposure to violence on children, many state laws fail to recognize this exposure as a safety threat unless there is physical harm. Drawing from real-world investigative cases, this Note examines how narrow safety threat criteria hinder the protection of children in homes plagued by domestic violence. It calls for urgent reform to broaden these criteria to include emotional harm and exposure to violence, arguing that children who witness domestic violence endure psychological trauma that can lead …

Environmental Racism In America: Minority Communities As Dumping Grounds For Environmental Waste, Shelly Taylor Page, Patricia A. Broussard
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
This Article explores the systemic and disproportionate burden of environmental hazards placed on minority communities in the United States. It examines the historical and contemporary practices of environmental racism, where Communities of Color, particularly Black, Indigenous, and Latino populations, are more likely to live in areas with high levels of pollution, hazardous waste sites, and industrial facilities. The Article highlights the intersection of race, class, and environmental policy, showing how socio-political and economic factors contribute to the marginalization of these communities. It underscores the urgent need for comprehensive policy changes that address the immediate health risks and the long-term environmental …
