Beyond "Bad" Cops: Historicizing And Resisting Surveillance Culture In Universities, Amy J. Wan, Lindsey Albracht

Publications and Research

In this article, we define and examine surveillance culture within US college classrooms, a logical extension of pervasive carceral and capitalist logics that underlie the US educational system, in which individual success is tied to behavior monitoring, rule following, and sorting, particularly within marginalized student populations. Reflecting anxieties about the expansion of educational access, we argue for how crisis and change have historically contributed to the
urgency and opportunity to expand surveillance culture and consider why this has continued to happen as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. We offer suggestions and alternatives to surveillance culture that have helped us …

Stability Analysis Of Dc Microgrid With Constant Power Load, Sarah Ansari

Theses and Dissertations

Development towards sustainability has led to an increase in the integration of various distributed generation (DG) units like renewable sources of energy, energy storage systems (ESS). In order to counteract the challenges, caused due to integration of DG units into conventional power systems, the concept of DC microgrid (DCMG) has been introduced. DCMGs have power converters that are present on the source side and load side of the DCMGs. The power converters at the load side when tightly regulated behave as constant power loads (CPLs). There are stability issues pertaining to the inherent non-linear characteristic of the ideal CPLs because …

Ceding Power In Intra-Household Bargaining In Times Of Economic Anxiety: An Experimental Study In Nepal, Margaret Boittin, Katrina Kosec, Cecilia Hyunjung Mo, Soosun You

All Papers

How do perceptions of one’s relative economic status affect beliefs regarding gender roles? We conducted a 2019 survey experiment with approximately 2,000 adults in Nepal. Employing an established survey treatment called a priming experiment to subtly alter half of respondents’ perceptions of their relative economic well-being, we find that increased feelings of relative deprivation make married women significantly less likely to support gender egalitarian perspectives. Women decrease their support for women making decisions over household expenditures, having equal control over household income, sharing household chores, and women working outside the home. A message randomly read to some women and designed …

The children of today’s generation are considered as digital natives, which means that they have the capacity to navigate technological terrains to the best of their abilities and create online communities in new storyworlds. Minecraft and Roblox, two sandbox open-world mobile games, are manifestations of such ability to create worlds, survive in difficult gaming situations, face opponents in combat, and interact with players within a community. Even more so, such transmedia engagements allow the child participants, as evidenced in this study, to transact with players and the app itself to introduce new playstyle strategies that complement or subvert the gameplays …
