Animated By The Spirit: An Ecclesiology For Assessing Charism-Centered Mission In Higher Education, Michelle Nicole Blohm May 2021

Animated By The Spirit: An Ecclesiology For Assessing Charism-Centered Mission In Higher Education, Michelle Nicole Blohm

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A “charism-centered” institutional mission is a mission that is believed to be instantiated and guided by the working of the Holy Spirit. Countless Catholic higher education institutions claim to have missions rooted in one or more charisms. However, institutional assessment processes tailored to charism-centered missions have remained in their infancy due to the lack of a theological grounding for institutional charism and its assessment. This work uses Yves Congar’s pneumatological ecclesiology to establish a theological framework for interpreting charism as respecting and enhancing stakeholder diversity and uses Louis-Marie Chauvet’s ecclesiology of symbol to pioneer a model for institutionally assessing charism-centered …


Communication As Change: Marshall Mcluhan And A Transformation Model Of Communication, Lane Grafton May 2021

Communication As Change: Marshall Mcluhan And A Transformation Model Of Communication, Lane Grafton

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The work synthesizes Marshall McLuhan’s transformation model of communication with a trivium-based educational model and challenges the modern-day position of unreflective mediated communication. McLuhan’s transformation model demonstrates that communication is more than the transfer of content; rather, it is a transformation of perception. This work broadens the analysis and suggests that figure and ground relationships are integral to seeing the whole of media transformations. Through figure and ground relationships, communication unfolds as a study of perceptual change. The work explores perceptual change within the context of McLuhan’s conversion to the Catholic Church and underscores the importance of a unified mind …


The Case For The Moral Rationale Of Diversity, Will Walker Jr. May 2021

The Case For The Moral Rationale Of Diversity, Will Walker Jr.

Honors Theses

Although there is much literature highlighting the instrumental benefits of diversity (Gurin et al., 2002; Gurin et al., 2004; Hurtado,2006; Jayakumar,2008), little research focuses on the effects of diversity that arise because of moral rationales for diversity. Expanding into the question of diversity rationale’s effect, we in this study measured the relationship between institutional rationales for diversity and undergraduate students’ perceived feelings of belonging. Using one-tailed multivariate analysis of variance (N=257), our results show that the moral rationale for diversity has more beneficial outcomes for undergraduate students, regardless of their race or ethnicity. More specifically, our analyses show that undergraduate …

Gene Editing: The Application Without Neglecting Human Rights, Charles A. Burt May 2021

Gene Editing: The Application Without Neglecting Human Rights, Charles A. Burt

Academic Festival

The production of therapeutic and medical advancements has enabled longevity and health throughout humanity. Within the medicinal realm, treatments have been created that were not even fathomable just a century ago. Ethical questions have risen as this level of progress has the capability to impact the rights and morals of many individuals. Specifically, these questions are being asked as it relates to genetic engineering and gene editing. Several innovations have developed through using proteins to edit genes by replacing the negatively associated gene with the positively associated gene (which results in the desired genetic expression/trait). These fields show tremendous potential …


“Where Food Grows On The Water”: Anishinaabe Wild Rice Restoration, Food Sovereignty, And Decolonization, Rachel Sabella May 2021

“Where Food Grows On The Water”: Anishinaabe Wild Rice Restoration, Food Sovereignty, And Decolonization, Rachel Sabella

Senior Theses - Anthropology

In this project I argue that the wild rice restoration projects in the Great Lakes region contribute to the reversal of direct effects of colonization brought on as a result of the Columbian Invasion of the Americas. In doing this, I ask this question: How does this unique array of projects contribute to Indigenous food sovereignty? Wild rice has been a staple of Anishinaabe diet and culture for over two thousand years, but the industrialization of the region led to the decline of wild rice populations and severely diminished the availability of wild rice to the communities that depend on …


The Role Of The Father In The Young Child’S Life And Development: What Do Early Childhood Teachers Need To Know?, Charlotte Silver May 2021

The Role Of The Father In The Young Child’S Life And Development: What Do Early Childhood Teachers Need To Know?, Charlotte Silver

Graduate Student Independent Studies

The contribution of the father to the young child’s life and development has been looked at far less than that of the mother. This paper analyzes how fathers impact the development of growing children and why this issue matters to early childhood educators. By extension, it analyzes the impact of a father’s absence. In today’s society of increasingly diverse parenting structures, many children are growing up in fatherless households. For such children, teachers may prove to be significant figures in the hierarchy of attachment. This paper begins with a brief history of attachment theory. It then provides an overview of …

Infanticide And Human Self Domestication, Erik O. Kimbrough, Gordon M. Myers, Arthur J. Robson May 2021

Infanticide And Human Self Domestication, Erik O. Kimbrough, Gordon M. Myers, Arthur J. Robson

Economics Faculty Articles and Research

"Our hypothesis, which is largely complementary to Wrangham, is that band elders engaged in infanticide and direct and indirect child homicide against the offspring of reactive aggressive adults through decisions during the foraging period of the Middle and Upper Pleistocene. We hypothesize that elders may have targeted the offspring of reactively aggressive males (and females) as retaliation for behaviors that were not good for the elders or their offspring and because surreptitiously killing the offspring of violent males was much less dangerous to the elders than killing the violent males. Such retaliation could have selected against reactive aggression as a …


Beyond Performance: Modern Art Therapy And Aata Through The Lens Of Critical Race Theory, A Literature Review, Elanna Abreu May 2021

Beyond Performance: Modern Art Therapy And Aata Through The Lens Of Critical Race Theory, A Literature Review, Elanna Abreu

Expressive Therapies Capstone Theses

Art therapy has grown more visible in tandem with the modernization of psychology, society, and the push for social justice amongst communities of intersection experiencing oppression. The practice as a whole is a modern interpretation of talk therapy that has evolved and capitalized the importance of creativity and imagery-making as means to connect a person to their emotions, others, and the world as a whole. In this growing time and era of technology, the increase of aesthetic, visual media is necessary in providing mass information and receiving critical socioemotional input from individuals and communities about social issues. One of the …


Kinstitution: A Topia Between Archive And Proposal, Christopher Lineberry May 2021

Kinstitution: A Topia Between Archive And Proposal, Christopher Lineberry

Theses and Dissertations

Situating Topher Lineberry's work, this paper offers a primer on institutional critique, preliminary developments of "kinstitutional critique," and the cultivation of family-derived art history through the work of the artist's grandmother, Helen Lineberry. Feeding into a working understanding of family-and-kin-as-institution, the paper ultimately locates Topher Lineberry's work between relations to place, historical archives, and speculative proposals.

An Exploration Of Adolescent Personality Structures: Implications On Policy Development And Practice, Dan Paolo R. Yema, Kristine R. Alagad May 2021

An Exploration Of Adolescent Personality Structures: Implications On Policy Development And Practice, Dan Paolo R. Yema, Kristine R. Alagad

Journal Article

Utilizing Goldberg's (2006) Bass-Ackwards method, the study the structure of personality of selected university students (n=629) using the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa and McCrae, 2004).

The findings of the personality structure of selected university students open opportunities in developing or improving institutional policies and research-based practices that will benefit not only the academic …

The Science Of Memory, Lies, And Fiction: How Stories Shape Humanity's Past, Present, And Future, Jerard Ancel D. Eusebio May 2021

The Science Of Memory, Lies, And Fiction: How Stories Shape Humanity's Past, Present, And Future, Jerard Ancel D. Eusebio

Journal Article

Why are humans - for all our evolutionary success - so invested in stories? From ancient tales to the latest tabloid fodder, from private diaries to Facebook Stories, we are steeped in stories. I make the case for how everything is stories, and for how stories are everything - from religion to philosophy to science. Using a transdisciplinary, biocultural approach that accounts for evolutionary literary criticism, philosophy, and the sciences - psychology, sociology, anthropology, neuroscience - I outline our engagement with stories and its impact on our identities, behavior and decisions, social norms and structures, and ultimately, our very survival …

The Exploration Of Florida And Sources On The Founding Of St. Augustine, Luis Rafael Arana May 2021

The Exploration Of Florida And Sources On The Founding Of St. Augustine, Luis Rafael Arana

Florida Historical Quarterly

Four hundred years ago, Europeans made the first permanent settlement within the present limits of the United States. These were Spaniards who under Pedro Menendez de Aviles established St. Augustine in 1565, upon land discovered fifty-two years earlier. In the interval between discovery and colonization, the coast of Florida had been gradually charted and portions of the interior explored. Though all attempts at planting the civilization of Spain in the new land failed until Menendez appeared on the scene, the discoveries of Juan Ponce de Leon, Alonso Alvarez de Pineda, Panfilo de Narvaez, and Hernando de Soto gradually outlined the …

An Autoethnography Of A Punk Rocker Turned Music Teacher, Jonathan Kladder May 2021

An Autoethnography Of A Punk Rocker Turned Music Teacher, Jonathan Kladder

Research & Issues in Music Education

The criteria used to admit prospective music teachers in colleges and universities across the United States has remained relatively unchanged since their inception. These criteria disenfranchise a population of potential music teachers who hold musical backgrounds outside the Western European art tradition. This autoethnography illuminates the challenges and barriers experienced by a self-taught musician who attended two traditional music programs in a midwestern region of the United States. Using Berry’s (1980) six dimensions of acculturation as the theoretical framework to interpret these data, the author exposes challenges associated with his journey in achieving music teacher certification. As a qualitative investigation, …
