Disability Support: Developing A Model Of Empowerment, Brandon Lueken, Kelli Muilenburg, James Spaan

MAGIS: Student Development Journal

This paper seeks to identify current best practices in supporting students with disabilities at West Coast public institutions of higher education. The authors identify three exemplary models of best practice at a variety of institutions. The first examines disability identity development at the University of California, Berkeley, the second a recreational sports facility at Portland State Uni- versity, the third a clearinghouse model of adap- tive equipment for a group of Washington com- munity colleges. Using these three cases, a holistic model of best practices that supports students with disabilities is put forth for implementation at other institutions.

Strategic Space Cooperation: U.S. Space Command And The National Guard’S State Partnership Program, David Moore, Jesse Morehouse, Patrick Mitchell

Space and Defense

In 2022, the U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM) and the National Guard's State Partnership Program (SPP) began pursuing security cooperation objectives while integrating the space domain into greater deterrence efforts.

Tactical Staging: Evolving Methods Of Feminist Activism In Susan Glaspell’S Work, Allison Mcpeak

English: Student Scholarship & Creative Works

In the marketplace of ideas, the Theatre Arts employ narrative stories and eye-catching visual art pieces draw listeners and viewers in a way that is unmatched by other methods. Art not only reflects the society from which it was created, it also acts as a projection of the creator’s ideal world. Theatre, being both a sonic and visual medium also has the unique advantage of speaking directly to a captive audience that are physically in the same room as the characters onstage, making those connections significantly more personal. A caveat, however, is that modern theatre tends to reflect the values …

An Analysis Of The Effects Of Soft Power On The Risk Of Foreign Direct Investment Projects, Kelly Montemayor

Honors Program Theses and Research Projects

As the world has become more interconnected due to the rapid expansion of trade and communication technologies, countries have been able to create a reputation based on their image instead of their military power. This attraction or soft power, has become a topic of discussion as many scholars have tried to define soft power and the effects it has on the world. This research study focuses on how a country’s soft power affects the foreign direct investment projects it participates in based on the level of soft power its home country has over the host country. This study examines criteria …

Sociology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Student campus protest has been a hallmark of US social movements for decades. Edited versions of these movements are lauded in university courses on historical social change. Yet a variety of commentators in traditional media, campus administration, and political administration display a calculated confusion when it comes to contemporary campus movements, particularly around Palestine. This article aims to clear up that confusion, outlining the protests and occupations that took place in spring 2024 on the campus of Portland State University and in its renamed Refaat Alareer Memorial Library, setting them in their national (and international) context, and outlining the violent …

Neurodivergent Experiences In Communication Sciences And Disorders Programs As Reflected In Reddit, Shadha Al Kalbani

Honors Theses

By definition, neurodivergent students are those whose brain function differs significantly from societal expectations (Walker, 2014). The term ‘neurodivergent’ is associated with the Neurodiversity Movement. Although the Neurodiversity Movement was spearheaded by the Autistic1 community, the term commonly includes other forms of neurodivergence such as ADHD and dyslexia. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of neurodivergent students in Communication Sciences Disorders (CSD) programs, where systematic data on their demographics and experience is relatively limited. Specifically, this study analysed posts from the online social media platform Reddit that are dedicated to the college experience of neurodivergent students …

Artificial Intelligence And Its Influence In The Management Of Workforces, Caleb Brock

Research Awards

This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Human Resources (HR) and workforce scheduling, emphasizing the rapid integration of AI into these domains. It explores the benefits and drawbacks of AI in HR recruiting and scheduling by comparing traditional methods with AI-driven approaches. While traditional recruitment practices, such as in-person interviews and resume evaluations, are effective, they often limit access to a broader candidate pool. AI can streamline these processes, enhancing efficiency, provided human oversight exists to mitigate biases and ensure accuracy.

Through a comprehensive literature review, this study reveals varying degrees of AI adoption across organizations and …

Combining Project Management Methods For Faster Software Delivery, Subhradeep Biswas

Harrisburg University Dissertations and Theses

The impact of the hybrid project management technique combined with lean principles in software organization is the main topic of the proposed thesis. The instability inherent in software projects has led to the rise in popularity of the agile approach. However, according to specialists in project management, an agile approach alone won't guarantee a project's success. When executing software projects, almost all project managers combine the agile approach with the waterfall methodology. Nevertheless, a number of investigations discovered that the hybrid strategy is frequently not failsafe. In this field of study, combining lean and hybrid project management is a topic …

Translating A Culture: How Subtitles In Popular Tv Shows Friends And La Que Se Avecina (The One That Looms) Maintain National Culture Within Translations, Abigail Lamkin

Undergraduate Theses

This study aims to determine the best ways for comedy-based TV shows to be translated so their cultural significance can be maintained while also becoming a piece of media that is enjoyed across linguistic barriers. Data was gathered from the TV shows Friends and La que se avecina and analyzed through comparison with one another. Analysis reveals both shows use unique techniques as a result of the specific challenges subtitle translators faced for the shows, but in general, focusing on one aspect of the translation over another would prevent the audience from enjoying the show. Friends's translations rely on …

Seeing Beyond The Anthropocene With Joyce And Beckett, Michael Kane

Research Outputs: 2025-Present

This article suggests that the literary works of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett may offer a means of ‘seeing beyond the Anthropocene’. A close look at Joyce’s “The Dead” and the “Proteus” and “Penelope” episodes of Ulysses as well as at Beckett’s play Endgame and other works will show how these writers’ distinct ways of looking at the world, and the life and death of mortal human beings, provide radical critiques of (and perhaps alternatives to) anthropocentric idealism. Their insights are still highly relevant today as the ecological crisis demands a fundamental reorientation of the (post)human relationship with the earth.
