Modes Of Participation: Co-Creative Approaches To The Design Process, Carissa Henriques
Theses and Dissertations
This project explores the notion of participation within the graphic design and problem-solving process. Through projects using generative tools and collaboration, I explore ways to instigate controlled participation from designers and non-designers. I observe and document how the methods and means of participation affect the creative process during these projects.

An Empirical Test Of Hirschi's Theory Of Delinquency, Barbara R. Vanderpool
An Empirical Test Of Hirschi's Theory Of Delinquency, Barbara R. Vanderpool
Theses & Honors Papers
Delinquency has been examined by many disciplines. There is no single explanation for delinquency. This study tests Hirschi's Theory on a group of adolescents that violate laws that have not been adjudicated delinquents. These adolescents have not been labeled delinquent, but have been placed in a facility to assist at-risk adolescents. A modified version of Elliot's National Youth Study questionnaire was used to measure delinquency. This data gathered indicated a significant decline in delinquency while participating in the program. Hirschi's theory is an empirical test found to be relevant to these adolescents.
Style And Consumption Among East African Muslim Immigrant Women: The Intersection Of Religion, Ethnicity, And Minority Status, Jennifer L. Barnes
Style And Consumption Among East African Muslim Immigrant Women: The Intersection Of Religion, Ethnicity, And Minority Status, Jennifer L. Barnes
Sociology Honors Projects
What meanings do people attach to dress style and consumption, how do these meanings vary among cultures, and how do immigrants and other multicultural actors negotiate the different systems of meaning they encounter in different cultures? My research examines the dress choices and shopping behaviors of East African Muslim immigrant women to explore whether and how they understand dress and consumer choices in the context of ethnicity, Islam, and their relationships with non-Muslim Americans. I conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with nine East African Muslim women in their twenties living in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. I found that women use …
New World, New War: Understanding Global Jihad, Kabir Sethi
New World, New War: Understanding Global Jihad, Kabir Sethi
Political Science Honors Projects
Scholars tend to explain contemporary conflicts by referring to ambiguously defined processes of globalization. Given this conceptual vacuum, I build a theoretical model that explains the transformation of war through a rigorous analysis of globalization from multiple temporal perspectives. This Braudelian model, which examines the warfighting paradigm, the social mode of warfare, and the historical structure of war, is then used to explain globalist radical Islam. My findings indicate that the emergence of global network societies has had a profound, transformative effect on jihadist violence and, more broadly, on the global mode of warfare.

Timing Justice: Lessons From The Tribunals In Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, And Cambodia, Zoe B. Whaley
Timing Justice: Lessons From The Tribunals In Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, And Cambodia, Zoe B. Whaley
Political Science Honors Projects
Scholarship on tribunals for mass human rights violations overlooks how the presence or absence of conflict influences its effectiveness. I argue that implementing a tribunal during conflict undermines its ability to effectively pursue justice—as I demonstrate with a case study of the Yugoslav Tribunal. Ongoing conflict makes challenges of transitional justice more acute. The absence of conflict eases a tribunal’s ability to carry out certain necessary activities such as collecting evidence. I demonstrate this using a case study of the Rwanda Tribunal. Examining tribunals in Sierra Leone and Cambodia suggests that hybrid structures influence the effectiveness of these accountability mechanisms.
Changing Attitudes, Troubled Times: Lessons Learned From Protected Species Management In Urban Environments, Sean P. Guinan
Changing Attitudes, Troubled Times: Lessons Learned From Protected Species Management In Urban Environments, Sean P. Guinan
Wildlife Damage Management Conference
The United States is becoming increasingly urbanized, with nearly 80% of the American population currently residing in urban centers. This trend in human settlement patterns away from rural areas has coincided with a shift in human values and perceptions regarding the natural environment. Urban wildlife managers are therefore presented with unique challenges not experienced by managers of times past and are left having to blend principles of wildlife ecology within a changed ethical and sociological context. Standard wildlife management practices may not be appropriate for this shifting paradigm and there is an ever-increasing need for innovative and collaborative efforts that …

A Study Of Selected Teachers' Methods To Improve Parental Involvement In Education, Michael Sandberg
A Study Of Selected Teachers' Methods To Improve Parental Involvement In Education, Michael Sandberg
Theses and Dissertations
The primary purpose of this study was to explore teaching methods of selected teachers that help to improve parental involvement in education at a middle school in South Jersey. The study also investigated demographic factors such as gender, subject taught, subject or discipline taught, and years of teaching experience. Data on the attitudes were collected by means of a survey using 14 Likert-type items using a 4 point scale and 4 open-ended questions. Research and this study show that a variety of teacher's methods could improve the communication and involvement of parents in the educational process.

Paid Sick Time Helps Workers Balance Work And Family, Kristin Smith
Paid Sick Time Helps Workers Balance Work And Family, Kristin Smith
Carsey Publications
In New Hampshire, workers fare better than workers nationally, yet one-quarter of Granite State workers do not have paid sick days. The lack of paid sick days places workers in a bind. They are forced to choose between caring for a sick family member or themselves and losing pay. This brief suggests that the long-term benefits of workers having paid sick days out way the cost for employers because it promotes less contagion among coworkers, increased productivity, and reduced turnover.
Resilience Of Gendered Spheres In Transnational Migration: An Interpretive Book Review Of Sheba Mariam George’S When Women Come First: Gender And Class In Transnational Migration, Jose Luis Calderon
Resilience Of Gendered Spheres In Transnational Migration: An Interpretive Book Review Of Sheba Mariam George’S When Women Come First: Gender And Class In Transnational Migration, Jose Luis Calderon
The Qualitative Report
Dr. Sheba George’s ethnographic study based using participant observation and purposive sampling and an insider transnational journey to examine changes in family and social roles that result when nurses from Kerala, India immigrate to the US ahead of their husbands. The author concludes that the economic and political gain immigration affords nurses does not translate into enhanced social status for their family in India or for their husbands in the US when they undergo gender transferral to homemaker. This transference causes a shift in gender structure from the home to the community, in this case the church as a way …

Exploring Teachers' And Black Male Students' Perceptions Of Intelligence, Patrick Anthony Williams
Exploring Teachers' And Black Male Students' Perceptions Of Intelligence, Patrick Anthony Williams
Open Access Dissertations
This study explored teachers' perceptions of intelligence of 11th-grade Black male students and how students themselves perceived their own intelligence in light of Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence. Qualitative research methods were used to gain novel understanding of the students' and teachers' feelings, and perceptions as outlined in the research questions. Two versions of ecological systems theory provided the underpinnings for the framework of this study: 1) Brönfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory, and 2) Spencer's PVEST (Phenomenological Variant of Ecological Systems Theory) model, which is an adaptation of the ecology model to Black students in the United States. In a …
The Low Percentage Of African American Faculty In A Southern Community College, Annie Lou Brown Burns
The Low Percentage Of African American Faculty In A Southern Community College, Annie Lou Brown Burns
Theses and Dissertations
Community colleges are crucial to American social and economic progress. They provide access to higher education for millions who cannot afford to attend a 4-year college or a university. For the past 20 years, there has been a consistent increase in enrollment in community colleges. This increase has included students of all ages and ethnic groups. While the African American student population in community colleges has increased as have other student populations, the percentage of African American instructors has not increased. Minority instructors and administrators in community colleges are not represented in numbers equivalent to minority student enrollment or to …
