Language Of Witness: Survivor Testimony And Narrative Representation Of The Mauthausen Experience, Siegrun Wildner

Faculty Publications

This study analyses and compares how survivors of the Nazi concentration camp of Mauthausen (Austria) recount significant events or situations in the camp at specific times and places in their testimonies published, right after the liberation, between 1945 and 1950. As an initial and exploratory stage of a large-scale investigation into survivor narratives, this article highlights two intersecting events at the Mauthausen main camp, Himmler’s visits and the arrival of Dutch Jews, and addresses the question of how Gostner, Hoffmann, Schifko-Pungartnik, Stantke, and Wiesenthal in their written accounts assessed, understood, reconstructed, and transmitted similar events, and how these camp experiences …

Just Txt Me: How Digital Platforms Shape The Close Relationships Of Generation Z, Kurt Sernett, Abigail Reinhardt, Lillian Smithson, Mitchell Hollingshead

Iowa Journal of Communication

The rise of texting and social media usage, primarily among Millennials and Generation Z, has led to the emergence of new communication behaviors in the last decade. While many studies have focused solely on the behaviors of Millennials in the digital age, we examine the behaviors of Generation Z and how the usage of digital communication shapes the close relationships of America’s college-aged youth population. After identifying the advantages and disadvantages of face-to-face communication and digital communication, we argue that today’s youth seek a healthy balance between in-person and online communication to cultivate fulfilling interpersonal relationships with their friends and …

A Preferred Vision For Administering Elementary Schools : A Reflective Essay, Brenda M. Boleyn

Graduate Research Papers

Throughout my life I have tried to engage myself in activities that were opportunities for me to "make a difference." Whether it be involvement in community clean-up projects or parks and recreation programs for children, my intentions were always to use my time to do good for a cause or another person. I carried this belief with me into college while I was in search of what I wanted to become "when I grew up." I looked in several directions on the basis of some fundamental goals I had for myself. First, I knew I wanted to be in a …

Torch Rhetoric: Characterizations Of Flawed Mentorship, Paul Lucas, Abbey Mccann

Iowa Journal of Communication

This work seeks to explore the importance of mentorship, even if its guidance and direction are characterized by flaws. By looking at entertainment media and the way in which mentors are sought for the purpose of passing the torch to a new generation of characters with new storylines, the work will explain how realistic portrayals of those within leadership positions are important. Specifically, the work will draw from plot points of mentors and mentees looking for something in their own lives. The mentors are able to give useful guidance, ultimately working in the mentees' best interests; the goal is to …

Communicating Positive Hpv Test Results: A Directed Content Analysis Of Women's Preferences Using Self-Determination Theory, Susanna Foxworthy Scott, Katharine J. Head, Nicole L. Johnson, Kaitlyn Kruer, Gregory D. Zimet

Iowa Journal of Communication

Changes in cervical cancer screening guidelines and persistent disparities indicate a need to identify communication preferences for receiving a positive HPV test result to ensure appropriate follow-up care. We conducted a directed content analysis guided by the tenets of self-determination theory of 575 written responses derived from a national sample of women > 18 in the United States. Biologically female women responded to a prompt about communication preferences for a positive HPV test result. Pearson chi-square analyses were conducted to discover differences in communication preferences. Individuals with health insurance (p = 0.044), those with >$29,999 in annual household income (p = …

Curriculum Planning: A Snapshot Of Iowa, Undergraduate Communication Studies Curriculum In 4-Year Colleges And Universities, Audrey L. Deterding, James L. Kauffman

Iowa Journal of Communication

Curriculum planning is an ongoing process that requires an exploration of current offerings to determine if programs meet the needs of stakeholders and remain current with the discipline. The last national study to examine communication studies curriculum was more than a decade ago. This study provides a current snapshot of course offerings at all 4-year colleges and universities in Iowa that offer majors in communication studies. It compares and contrasts the Iowa curriculum to earlier national curricular studies in communication. Results suggest that while Iowa schools generally align with national studies, public and private schools differ in their offerings and …

Rumormonger? Whistleblower? Martyr?: How The U.S. And Chinese Media Framed The Narrative Of Covid-19 Doctor Li Wenliang, Zhenzhu Zhang, Steven J. Venette

Iowa Journal of Communication

This study explores news stories regarding Dr. Li Wenliang, one of the first people who tried to raise the alarm about the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, and eventually died from the disease. The way Dr. Li Wenliang was depicted in the media changed over time. Understanding how that depiction changed is important because it helps demonstrate how narratives function to frame crises. The current study uses framing and narrative theories to support thematic analysis. Observing how a narrative changes allows for a more nuanced perspective of how crises are communicated and understood by the community. Three major themes …
