How Service-Learning Can Enhance The Pedagogy And Culture Ofengineering Programs At Institutions Of Higher Education: A Review Of The Literature, Jessica L. Paquin

Thesis, Dissertations, Student Creative Activity, and Scholarship

Many colleges and universities are actively renewing their commitment to service and to the transmission of knowledge for the public good. Students, faculty and administrators alike recognize the need to synthesize academic proficiency with responsible citizenry, in order to effectively participate in a diverse democracy.

As societal needs change, disciplines change as well. The field of engineering is no exception. A competitive, diverse, global market has forced vast changes in accreditation standards, which heavily impact the university and college engineering programs that tailor instruction to meet accreditor's requirements. In response to the evolving demands of industry, the field of engineering …

The Role Of Groups In Norm Transformation: A Dramatic Sketch, In Three Parts, Robert B. Ahdieh

Chicago Journal of International Law

This Essay seeks to sketch the preliminary outlines of a story in which groups matter. Groups are something more than the sum of their parts, I will suggest, or at least something different. Particularly in the unsticking of sticky norms-a task for which legal scholars have commonly looked to "expressive law" and individual "norm entrepreneurs"-groups might also have a role to play. Such lock-in of inefficient norms is especially likely, moreover, where coordination is the dominant strategic imperative. With increasing globalization and a growing role for technology in the modern economy-each of which depends upon patterns of convergence-such coordination is …

Rethinking The Persistent Objector Doctrine In International Human Rights Law, Holning Lau

Chicago Journal of International Law

This Comment, which proceeds in five parts, critically assesses the persistent objector doctrine and concludes that the doctrine's application to human rights should be restricted. Part II provides background on the persistent objector doctrine-its mechanics, its functional purposes, and its history. Part III provides background on human rights law. It discusses the inherent tension between human rights law's assumption of universality and the doctrine of persistent objector. Part IV analyzes the applicability of the persistent objector doctrine to international human rights law. It looks specifically at the doctrine's two primary functions: preserving the role of consent and promoting foreseeability. In …

Media, Race, And Attitudes Toward People On Welfare, Stephanie Bramlett

Master's Theses and Capstones

This research gives insight to why some Americans have negative attitudes toward people on welfare. This study begins by exploring how the construct of race has manifested itself throughout televised news broadcasts and the welfare system in the United States.

This research uses a combination of content analysis, secondary research and American National Election Survey Data analysis to explain the relationship between the media and support for welfare programs. The study investigates three main hypotheses: H1: Blacks are overrepresented as perpetrators of crime in televised news broadcasts compared to the actual number of crimes committed by Blacks, H2: As trust …

Examining The Relationship Between Psychological Skills And Confidence In Goalkeepers, Amanda E. Laws

Master's Theses and Capstones

This study examined the relationships that exist between psychological skills and confidence. Analysis of the relationship took place with ice hockey, lacrosse and soccer goalkeepers. Participants (N = 1927) completed measures of psychological skills (ACSI-28) and confidence (CSCI) online. Participants deemed psychological skills as important, but rarely used them to enhance performance. Goalkeepers (N = 412) scored higher on both the personal coping resource score (M = 50.82, SD = 9.24) and confidence (M = 41.88, SD = 5.66) than non-goalkeepers on the personal coping resource score (M = 47.48, SD = 9.60) and confidence (M = 41.84, SD = …

Mothers Of Children With Developmental Disabilities: A Study Of The Meaning Of Leisure Occupations, Jennifer L. Bellen

Master's Theses and Capstones

The purpose of this study was to further our understanding of how the leisure occupations of mothers are influenced by having a child with significant developmental disabilities. Qualitative research methods specifically, a phenomenological approach was used to develop an understanding of how the mothers of children with developmental disabilities engage in leisure activities and the feelings and meanings they attach to leisure participation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with mothers who shared their experiences regarding their leisure activities. In this study I explored time constraints, daily routines, engagement in leisure activities and the meanings attributed to them. Analysis of …

The Power Of Film: A Model For The Use Of Group Cinematherapy In The Therapeutic Treatment Of Clinically Depressed Adolescents, Erin E Farrell Bowen

Master's Theses and Capstones

The following thesis proposes a model for the use of cinematherapy as part of treatment for clinically depressed adolescents. The thesis outlines the rationale for such a model, including the relative convenience and potential benefits of using movies as a therapeutic technique. This thesis also examines the professional literature regarding the topics of cinematherapy, bibliotherapy, group therapy, therapeutic metaphor, metaphoric techniques in therapy, and adolescent depression. A model is proposed to offer a specific framework in which cinematherapy may be used in the group treatment of adolescent depression, as well as tools that may assist clinicians in monitoring treatment outcomes. …

Elite Perceptions And The Adoption Of An Extremist Policy Of Genocide: A Comparative Case Study Of Armenia And Rwanda, Nicole Powell

Master's Theses and Capstones

The events leading up to the genocide that occurred in Rwanda in 1994 are similar to the events that led to the genocide that occurred in the Ottoman Empire in 1915. Economic and political crises plagued both states, international pressures to democratize weighed on both states, and both states were subject to ethnic polarization. This project examines those common factors preceding the Rwandan and Armenian genocides; and looks at elite's perception of a threat to their power because of the existence of those factors. Furthermore, the paper examines the relationship between the perception of a threat to elite power and …

A "Fair And Expeditious" Trial: A Reappraisal Of Slobodan Milosevic's Right To Self-Representation Before The International Criminal Tribunal For The Former Yugoslavia, Constantinos Hotis

Chicago Journal of International Law

This Development analyzes and critiques recent cases on Milosevic's in propria persona defense. Contrary to some arguments that the assignment of counsel will aid the trial process, it contends that the ICTY cannot impose counsel because all of the reasons that it used to justify its ruling are inadequate. This Development specifically argues that the "fair and expeditious" rationale, with its emphasis on judicial management, does not legitimize the Tribunal's decision to retract Milosevic's right to self-representation. In fact, it is a poor proxy for justice and may countervail any type of fairness that the ICTY wishes to achieve in …

Aspects Of Historicity In The Gospel Of John: Implications For Investigations Of Jesus And Archaeology, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Of the many tensions characterizing the Gospel of John, one of its perplexities most needing to be addressed critically is the set of issues related to aspects of historicity.1 On one hand, John is the most spiritual, theological, and symbolic of the canonical Gospels, leading scholars in recent decades to take seriously the literary features of the work. On the other hand, there is more archaeological, topographical, and apparently historical material in John than in any other Gospel, or even in all three combined.

The Horror Of Looking: Lynching And The Empathetic Eye, Greta Methot

Open Access Dissertations

During the summer of 2000, the New York Historical Society enjoyed its "biggest continuing attendance of any exhibition in years," with a collection of photographs entitled, Without Sanctuary: Photographs and Postcards of Lynching in America (Valdez 88). The more than seventy images featured, all taken between 1880 and 1961, illustrate in gruesome detail, a vicious chapter in American history. This exhibit, which is still making the rounds at U.S. art museums and was reproduced on the Internet and in a $60 coffee-table book, offers tremendous opportunity for critical thinking about the intersections of race, spectatorship, and violence in America.

Menus Matter, Ian Ayres

University of Chicago Law Review

Lawmakers can affect contractual equilibria by regulating contractual menus. The potential impact of menu regulation grows more important in contexts where contractors are cognitively constrained or imperfectly informed. This Essay explores the regulation of menus-both with regard to the simultaneous, alternative offers that private parties make to each other, and with regard to the offers that the state makes to potential contractors themselves.
