The Disruption And Diversification Of Higher Education Funding: Cryptocurrency For Higher Education Wealth Generation, Edward Lehner, John R. Ziegler Feb 2018

The Disruption And Diversification Of Higher Education Funding: Cryptocurrency For Higher Education Wealth Generation, Edward Lehner, John R. Ziegler

Publications and Research

This work conceptualizes a process for cryptocurrency to diversify traditional methods of higher education funding in the United States. Higher education funding has seemingly reached an impasse, and opinions remain divided over both which societal parties should bear the educational costs for the vast majority of Americans and how to remedy the student debt crisis. Cryptocurrency funding augments traditional revenue streams, and shifts the discussion of education costs from expenses to a more robust conversation about innovative avenues to wealth generation as a potential solution to fund the mission of American higher education. Historically, higher education has been rooted in …


Subjectivity And Mutuality: Feminist Theology In Film, C. Áine Keefer Feb 2018

Subjectivity And Mutuality: Feminist Theology In Film, C. Áine Keefer

Acta Cogitata: An Undergraduate Journal in Philosophy

One of the central concepts in feminist film criticism is that of gaze, also called male gaze: the objectifying lens, both literal and metaphorical, that an assumed default male viewer has through media that depicts women from a masculine point of view. This gaze is constructed as necessarily objectifying; when scholars posit a female gaze, it is sometimes also cast as objectifying, simply swapping the genders of the seer and the seen. I argue that gaze can also be subjectifying through the process of relation between people who hold each other in equal regard and do not assert power one …


Feminist Voice In The Works Of Indonesian Early Woman Writers: Reading Novels And Short Stories By Suwarsih Djojopuspito, Aquarini Priyatna Feb 2018

Feminist Voice In The Works Of Indonesian Early Woman Writers: Reading Novels And Short Stories By Suwarsih Djojopuspito, Aquarini Priyatna

Journal of International Women's Studies

Suwarsih Djojopuspito is among the most important early Indonesian women/feminist writers. This research intends to emphasize her rightful position among the first Indonesian feminist writers. Focusing on her very important novel Manusia Bebas (published originally in Dutch as Buiten het Gareelin 1940), one collection of short stories, Empat Serangkai (1954), and a novel written in Sundanese, Marjanah (1959), I argue that feminist spirits and ideas have actually been existing and elaborated in works by women writers in the era prior to the Indonesian New Order (1966-1998) as exemplified by Suwarsih’s works. What is important in these works is that …


Women Nationalists In Nineteenth And Twentieth Century Ghana And Zimbabwe: Case Studies Of Charwe Nehanda Nyakasikana And Yaa Asentewaa, Abdul Kuba Feb 2018

Women Nationalists In Nineteenth And Twentieth Century Ghana And Zimbabwe: Case Studies Of Charwe Nehanda Nyakasikana And Yaa Asentewaa, Abdul Kuba

Journal of International Women's Studies

Nation and nationalism have been associated with masculinity. Nations and states are often envisioned through heroic narratives. According to these narratives, nations are formed through the blood and toil of fore-fathers not fore-mothers. Women’s roles in nation-building are regarded as supportive, relegating them to the background as supporters of their male counterparts. Heroines receive little or no attention in the historiography of national struggles. Pedagogically, heroines are understudied in most African school systems. It is easier for one to encounter names of nationalists like Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana), Nelson Mandela (South Africa), Jomo Kenyatta (Kenya), Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) among other …

Implantation Of Neural Probes In The Brain Elicits Oxidative Stress, Evon S. Ereifej, Griffin M. Rial, John K. Hermann, Cara S. Smith, Seth M. Meade, Jacob M. Rayyan, Keying Chen, He Feng, Jeffrey R. Capadona Feb 2018

Implantation Of Neural Probes In The Brain Elicits Oxidative Stress, Evon S. Ereifej, Griffin M. Rial, John K. Hermann, Cara S. Smith, Seth M. Meade, Jacob M. Rayyan, Keying Chen, He Feng, Jeffrey R. Capadona

Faculty Scholarship

Clinical implantation of intracortical microelectrodes has been hindered, at least in part, by the perpetual inflammatory response occurring after device implantation. The neuroinflammatory response observed after device implantation has been correlated to oxidative stress that occurs due to neurological injury and disease. However, there has yet to be a definitive link of oxidative stress to intracortical microelectrode implantation. Thus, the objective of this study is to give direct evidence of oxidative stress following intracortical microelectrode implantation. This study also aims to identify potential molecular targets to attenuate oxidative stress observed postimplantation. Here, we implanted adult rats with silicon non-functional microelectrode …

Border Culture, Mexican Identity, Class, And Media Consumption: A Look Into “Fresa” High School Students, Melissa Analy Santillana Feb 2018

Border Culture, Mexican Identity, Class, And Media Consumption: A Look Into “Fresa” High School Students, Melissa Analy Santillana

Theses and Dissertations

The border strip between the south of the United States and the north of Mexico provide an excellent opportunity to study the effects of the flow of media productions from the United States to Mexico. Many communication theories have attempted to explain the reception of transnational media flows to Latin American countries. Scholars from the cultural imperialism camp argue that the flow of culture is unidirectional from capitalist or First World countries (mainly the United States) to developing countries (also know as the Global South); other theories claim there is an asymmetrical dependence between developed and underdeveloped countries (Fejes, 1981). …

Using The Tool Adoption And Alignment Model To Assess Pedagogical Fit Of Social Communication Tools, Sarah Smith-Robbins Feb 2018

Using The Tool Adoption And Alignment Model To Assess Pedagogical Fit Of Social Communication Tools, Sarah Smith-Robbins

The Emerging Learning Design Journal

While the range of social communication technologies available to educators is vast, so is the pressure to stay up to date and understand which tool has the best potential for use in a specific learning situation. The Tool Adoption and Alignment Model(TAAM) presented here is a process that may help educators make informed decisions about the potential of a tool efficiently and effectively. The model draws from Activity Theory and Genre Ecology Modeling to suggest a method to understand not only the communication and learning potential that is intended by the designers of a tool, but also the ways that …

Evaluating The Evaluators, Jakob Puckett Feb 2018

Evaluating The Evaluators, Jakob Puckett

The University Honors Program

Various news shows use different methods to report the same stories. In an attempt to understand this better, I watched and compared three news shows airing simultaneously on various networks, as well as viewing the front page of the New York Times, all from the same day – October 5, 2017. ABC World News Tonight, Fox News Special Report with Bret Baier, and PBS NewsHour were the shows under scrutiny, and while each show covered a large amount of the same material, they allotted varying amounts of time to certain subjects. Interestingly, while three of them largely focused on the …
