The age-old question “is the glass half empty or half full” attempts to shed light on how we view the world around us. Do we immediately notice deficits? Or are we drawn towards surpluses?

Discipline‐Based Education Research: Understanding And Improving Learning In Undergraduate Science And Engineering, Stacey Lowery Bretz Oct 2012

Discipline‐Based Education Research: Understanding And Improving Learning In Undergraduate Science And Engineering, Stacey Lowery Bretz

Discipline-Based Education Research Group Speaker Series

The National Science Foundation has funded a synthesis study on the status, contributions, and future direction of discipline‐based education research (DBER) in physics, biological sciences, geosciences, and chemistry. DBER combines knowledge of teaching and learning with deep knowledge of disciplinespecific science content. It describes the discipline‐specific difficulties learners face and the specialized intellectual and instructional resources that can facilitate student understanding. The committee was charged to investigate questions essential to advancing DBER and broadening its impact on undergraduate science teaching and learning, synthesize empirical research on undergraduate teaching and learning in the science, explore the extent to which this research …

Kitchen Stories: A Review, Dan Wulff, Sally St. George, Sandy Harper-Jaques, Lorne Jaques Oct 2012

Kitchen Stories: A Review, Dan Wulff, Sally St. George, Sandy Harper-Jaques, Lorne Jaques

The Qualitative Report

Using four voices, we created a movie review of Kitchen Stories, a Scandinavian movie ostensibly about a research project, but with layers of meaning extending beyond research into relationships, wider communities, and teaching. As friends and colleagues, our co-authored review/essay allowed each of us room to elaborate numerous themes that can inform and support a variety of researchers and practitioners. This writing also confirmed our belief that contemporary movies can be evocative learning devices for professionals.

A Key Challenge In Global Hrm: Adding New Insights To Existing Expatriate Spouse Adjustment Models, Ritu Gupta, Pratyush Banerjee, Jighyasu Gaur

The Qualitative Report

This study is an attempt to strengthen the existing knowledge about factors affecting the adjustment process of the trailing expatriate spouse and the subsequent impact of any maladjustment or expatriate failure. We conducted a qualitative enquiry using grounded theory methodology with 26 Indian spouses who had to deal with their partner’s expatriate assignment relocation. The open and axial coding techniques and the process of theoretical sampling are discussed at length. Our investigation reveals the recurrence of several factors earlier studied in previous models such as cultural novelty, family and peer support, the organization’s support and the spouse’s personality. Additionally, we …

The Importance Of Psychoanalytic Feminism To Post-Feminism: Sucker Punch, Chelsea Daggett Oct 2012

The Importance Of Psychoanalytic Feminism To Post-Feminism: Sucker Punch, Chelsea Daggett

Northeast Popular Culture Association

In the move to post-feminism many questions raised by earlier feminist texts were left unanswered, despite their continuing relevance to the current media landscape. Films featuring female characters, especially females behaving outside of typical gender roles, are still criticized for a variety of reasons that are directly addressed by earlier theories of feminism and their continuing influence on mainstream culture. The 2011 action film, Sucker Punch, was about women reacting to their oppression through a series of empowering fantasies that ultimately change their lives for the better. However, the film has been widely rejected by critics as a piece of …


Captivity Narratives And The Positions Of Female Captives In Soldier Blue And Dances With Wolves, Zehui Dai Oct 2012

Captivity Narratives And The Positions Of Female Captives In Soldier Blue And Dances With Wolves, Zehui Dai

Northeast Popular Culture Association

From the beginning of European exploration and settlement in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries through the end of the nineteenth century, Native American captivity was very much a historical reality for countless explorers and settlers living on the edge of the American frontier. It also touched the imaginations and fears of virtually everyone for whom it was a possibility. Conservative estimates place the number of captives taken by Indians in the tens of thousands. Some scholars share a central captivity image of a victimized woman in a genre of captivity literature. Even though women were not the only image in …


Children’S Television And Emotional Literacy, Diane Williamson Oct 2012

Children’S Television And Emotional Literacy, Diane Williamson

Northeast Popular Culture Association

Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood both promote the social and emotional learning of preschoolers, leading to lifelong positive effects. Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood has recently been created to replace Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood, to an unknown degree of effectiveness. Despite the success of these two shows, we still have a lot to learn about the teaching of socio-emotional skills, but perhaps what is even more unsettling is that the majority of children’s programs simply ignore the proven methods of socio-emotional learning that these shows have established, possibly to the detriment of their own goals of cognitive education.


Cape Fear And Cuckoo’S Nest: Cultural Discourse On Dangerous Men, David Tanner Oct 2012

Cape Fear And Cuckoo’S Nest: Cultural Discourse On Dangerous Men, David Tanner

Northeast Popular Culture Association

Cape Fear, the movie, and Ken Kesey’s novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, both debuted in 1962. The film, adapted by James Webb from John D. MacDonald’s 1957 crime fiction, The Executioners, was grounded in the cold war mentality of the 1950s. Kesey’s novel heralded social change and became emblematic of 1960s counter-culture by the time it achieved film fame in 1975. While seemingly unrelated texts, their intersection in 1962 and the timeline of their novel-to-film trajectories can be approached as a revealing cultural discourse regarding masculinity, the cold war, and social change. Analysis of this discourse also invites …

The Phantom Of The Opera: Spectacular Musical Or Archetypal Story?, Patricia Drumright Oct 2012

The Phantom Of The Opera: Spectacular Musical Or Archetypal Story?, Patricia Drumright

Northeast Popular Culture Association

Although the story of The Phantom of the Opera originated about 100 years ago, today’s audiences are more likely to be familiar with—and even “phans” of—the musical adaptation by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which has become famous since its début in London in 1986. Considering that the theatrical version has received international acclaim and enjoys worldwide popularity—and considering that Gaston Leroux’s novel has merited scores of adaptations in the last century—surprisingly little scholarship exists on these various works. This exploratory essay addresses the popularity of The Phantom of the Opera (especially over the last 25 years) as well as its greater …


The Pestilence Of London: Women, Hygiene, Prostitution And Pollution, Sophie Freestone Oct 2012

The Pestilence Of London: Women, Hygiene, Prostitution And Pollution, Sophie Freestone

Northeast Popular Culture Association

Depictions of women and water during the Great Stink of London were bound up with moral and medical fears of the mid to late nineteenth century. Specifically, I will look at a paint by each of the following artists: Sir John Everett Millais, John Rodham Spencer Stanhope, and J.W. Waterhouse. The movement of respectable women into the public sphere meant that they became less controllable and also less distinguishable from disreputable women, specifically prostitutes. As a result there was a rising anxiety about the actions of women, which became shackled to fears of health and hygiene in relation to communicable …
