Youth And The City: Reflective Photography As A Tool Of Urban Voice, Roman Gerodimos
Youth And The City: Reflective Photography As A Tool Of Urban Voice, Roman Gerodimos
Journal of Media Literacy Education
YYoung people’s engagement with urban public space has been facing a number of obstacles that reflect a lack of understanding of their needs, values and priorities. The emergence of digital devices and social media as integral elements of youth culture adds further urgency to the need to understand how young people themselves visually articulate their perceptions of life in the city. Bringing together elements from urban studies, youth studies and digital media literacy, this paper puts forward a pedagogic and research approach that aims to facilitate youth engagement with urban landscapes and the community. Participatory photography was used a tool …
Poverty, Literacy, And Social Transformation: An Interdisciplinary Exploration Of The Digital Divide, Amy J. Bach, Todd Wolfson, Jessica K. Crowell
Poverty, Literacy, And Social Transformation: An Interdisciplinary Exploration Of The Digital Divide, Amy J. Bach, Todd Wolfson, Jessica K. Crowell
Journal of Media Literacy Education
Harnessing scholarship focused on literacy and poverty, in this article we aim to complicate the common understanding of the digital divide. First, we argue that the dominant literature on the digital divide misses broader connections between technological exclusion and broader forms of economic and social exclusion. Accordingly, and following recent qualitative research on the digital divide, we believe future scholarship must examine the complicated relationships between poverty, inequality, and the digital divide and we look to poverty scholarship to understand the complicated and shifting nature of poverty. Finally, we make the case that scholars and practitioners focused on digital literacy …

From Suassuna To Guerra-Peixe: The Armorial Movement In Brazil During The Military Dictatorship (1964-1985)—Constructing Notions Of Northeastern Identity Through Music And Literature, Rafael Torralvo Da Silva
From Suassuna To Guerra-Peixe: The Armorial Movement In Brazil During The Military Dictatorship (1964-1985)—Constructing Notions Of Northeastern Identity Through Music And Literature, Rafael Torralvo Da Silva
Open Access Theses
Conceived by the playwright, novelist, and scholar, Ariano Suassuna (1927-2014), and officially established on October 18, 1970, the Movimento Armorial emerged as an artistic manifestation that proposed to create an erudite art form rooted in folk traditions to express the local color of the northeast region and the national identity of Brazil. Building on ideas introduced by the sociologist Gilberto Freyre and the members of the Escola de Recife (Recife School), Suassuna posited that the cultural and ethnic amalgamation between native Amerindians, African slaves, and Iberian colonizers was crystalized in regional Brazilian folklore. In his views, this folk art epitomized …
Mating Frequencies And Ecological Modeling Of Harvester Ant: Pogonomyrmex Comanche, Rachel Romo
Mating Frequencies And Ecological Modeling Of Harvester Ant: Pogonomyrmex Comanche, Rachel Romo
Biology Theses
There is little known about the life history of the imperiled harvester ant Pogonomyrmex comanche. Due to the conservation status, there is a need to learn and understand how these ants are dispersing their genetics within the region. This study focused on resolving uncertainties about genetic diversity, mating frequencies, and habitat associations influencing distribution of this species. It’s well known and studied that queens of different species within this genus take part in multiple mating; but to determine if P. comanchefollows the other species, microsatellite markers were used to conduct paternal analysis on the colonies collected from Camp Swift …
The Rock Of Red Power: The 1969-1971 Occupation Of Alcatraz Island, Sarah Spalding
The Rock Of Red Power: The 1969-1971 Occupation Of Alcatraz Island, Sarah Spalding
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
When over 90 Native Americans first made the voyage to Alcatraz Island on a November 1969 morning, there was little that could be predicted about what would unfold in the coming years. Alcatraz Island, the infamous prison that held criminals on the forefront of world news in the early twentieth century, would soon become an activist symbol. What followed November 20, 1969 was almost two years of continued Native American occupation of the island and a whirlwind of both media and federal attention. By the end of 1971, the remaining occupiers of Alcatraz were forcibly removed by federal marshals. However, …

Transmigration, Sarah M. O'Heron
Transmigration, Sarah M. O'Heron
Student Projects
Transmigration is the spiritual concept said to be the migration of a soul into a new body. The natural and found items act as the soul elements of my work, which are transformed into new existences and made precious. As a maker, I view my practice spiritually, in terms of collection of material from the natural world and through the process of creating. Academically, I’m interested in the history of adornment, anthropology, alchemy, and science related to the field of jewelry and metalsmithing. These topics, along with formal interest, result in works that I hope are rich, earthy, and honest.

The Pond & The Sauna, Kaija Siirala
The Pond & The Sauna, Kaija Siirala
Theses and Dissertations
Combining interviews, observational footage, animation, archival images, video and film, The Pond & the Sauna examines the construction of home and family through an intergenerational collection of memories. Drawing on oral history traditions, the project traces the foundational threads that run through the lives of an extended family from past into the present. How do the values we learned as children manifest in our lives now? How do we negotiate our place within a wider social context? How are we moving through the cycles of life and what do home and family mean to us now?

“En Español Esa Palabra No Tiene Ningún Sentido:” A Cross-Case Analysis Of Three Mexican American Dual Language Teachers’ Language Ideologies And Instructional Differences, Allison Briceño
Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity
This study profiles three Mexican American, dual language teachers in a qualitative cross-case analysis and asks (a) How do dual language teachers’ linguistic backgrounds influence their language ideologies?; (b) How are language ideologies evidenced in teachers’ instructional practices? Participants could be perceived as homogenous Mexican American women but had diverse linguistic backgrounds and ideologies. They include one native Spanish speaker born and educated in Mexico, one native Spanish speaker who was born in Mexico and attended high school in the United States, and one first-generation Mexican American teacher who was recovering Spanish as a heritage language. Interviews and classroom observations …
Ethnographic Perspectives On Female Pornography Use And Disuse, Andrea Rane, Dr. Davide Crandall
Ethnographic Perspectives On Female Pornography Use And Disuse, Andrea Rane, Dr. Davide Crandall
Journal of Undergraduate Research
In my research, I explore pornography use among a group of women in Utah, as well as attitudes about pornography held by people in the research location. For both the people in this study who use pornography and those who do not, the concept of pornography as the focus of an addiction exists via people creating meanings about what pornography is, how humans can engage with it, and what pornography will do to you if you use it. This, in turn, cycles back into existing as the context in which some of the women in this study have used pornography. …

Saving The Resistance: The Purépechan People Of Northern Mexico, Maranyeli Estrada
McNair Research Journal SJSU
The indigenous Purépechan people of Mexico have endured a long history of conflict. Throughout their struggles, including those of conquest by the Aztec Empire and the Spanish, and all the historical trauma endured, they have managed to preserve their culture and remain resilient in the face of adversity. By exploring their history, economic system, social and political organization, ideology and religion, we can help preserve what remains of these incredibly strong indigenous people who were among the few indigenous tribes to have resisted the Aztec Empire takeover.

An Ethnographic Study On A Select Group Of Student Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder And Traumatic Brain Injury As They Transition Into Higher Learning, Brandy Desiree Humphrey
An Ethnographic Study On A Select Group Of Student Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder And Traumatic Brain Injury As They Transition Into Higher Learning, Brandy Desiree Humphrey
Student Theses and Dissertations
Returning veterans from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom are an emerging student population at Arkansas State University. Many of these student-veterans are diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder coupled with traumatic brain injury, are therefore, considered to be a culture-sharing group. A better understanding of these signature war wounds may allow for a smoother transition to a higher learning environment. The characteristics and manifestations of PTSD and TBI and that the pressures of attending college or re-enrolling after a deployment can impact the veteran-student’s life in a significant manner. The result of PTSD and TBI can prove to have …
Forgotten Fairies: Traditional English Folklore In "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Alexandra Larkin
Forgotten Fairies: Traditional English Folklore In "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Alexandra Larkin
The Criterion
While the fairies shown in the play would have been known by Shakespeare’s audience, there was a clear difference between the fairies of traditional folklore and the fairies that Shakespeare describes in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In traditional English folklore, fairies were “made” for, and by, the middle and lower classes; their stories were most believed and the most encounters were experienced by these people. Fairies in folklore were alternatingly deadly and wildly helpful, giving humans who stumbled upon them presents or death. In the play, Shakespeare departs from more traditional depictions of fairies and instead characterizes these magical creatures …
Historical And Cross-Cultural Perspectives On Parkinson's Disease, Lee Xenakis Blonder
Historical And Cross-Cultural Perspectives On Parkinson's Disease, Lee Xenakis Blonder
Sanders-Brown Center on Aging Faculty Publications
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting up to 10 million people worldwide according to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation. Epidemiological and genetic studies show a preponderance of idiopathic cases and a subset linked to genetic polymorphisms of a familial nature. Traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda recognized and treated the illness that Western Medicine terms PD millennia ago, and descriptions of Parkinson’s symptomatology by Europeans date back 2000 years to the ancient Greek physician Galen. However, the Western nosological classification now referred to in English as “Parkinson’s disease” and the description of symptoms that define it, are accredited to …

Models Of Intragroup Conflict In Management: A Literature Review, Matthew W. Mccarter, Kimberly A. Wade-Benzoni, Darcy Fudge Kamal, H. Min Bang, Steven J. Hyde, Reshma Maredia
Models Of Intragroup Conflict In Management: A Literature Review, Matthew W. Mccarter, Kimberly A. Wade-Benzoni, Darcy Fudge Kamal, H. Min Bang, Steven J. Hyde, Reshma Maredia
Business Faculty Articles and Research
The study of intragroup dynamics in management studies views conflict as a contingency process that can benefit or harm a group based of characteristics of the group and context. We review five models of intragroup conflict in management studies. These models include diversity-conflict and behavioral negotiation models that focus primarily on conflict within a group of people; social exchange and transaction cost economics models that focus primarily on conflict within a group of firms; and social dilemma models that focus on conflict in collectives of people, organizations, communities, and generations. The review is constituted by summarizing the insights of each …
