The Privacy Fallacy: Harm And Power In The Information Economy By Ignacio Cofone, Christopher D'Souza
The Privacy Fallacy: Harm And Power In The Information Economy By Ignacio Cofone, Christopher D'Souza
Canadian Journal of Law and Technology
‘‘Our privacy is besieged by tech companies,”1 laments Ignacio Cofone, Law Professor and privacy aficionado, in The Privacy Fallacy: Harm and Power in the Information Economy. In an enlightening yet harrowing discourse, Cofone draws on insights from behavioural science, sociology, and economics2 to argue that the widespread consent-based model of privacy is not only outdated, but untenable given modern data practices.3 Further, Cofone acknowledges the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in data processing, leading to novel challenges for the safeguarding of personal information.4 Thus, The Privacy Fallacy is more than just about privacy law’s shortcomings; it also raises questions …

Learning In Lockdown: Assessing The Impact Of Online Legal Education On The Development Of Professional Competencies And Identity, Adrien Habermacher, Sulaimon Giwa
Dalhousie Law Journal
We administered a survey to law students at three Canadian law schools in the Atlantic region at the end of the Fall 2020 term. The survey asked students to compare their learning of each of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada (FLSC)-mandated competencies, as well as several others taken from the Law Society of New Brunswick (LSNB) competency profile, in the Fall 2020 (online) term versus previous terms of study. The survey also solicited testimonies on students’ socialization into the legal community during their unexpected online law school experience. Our data sheds lights on which competencies, among those deemed …

Workforce Education And Labor Market Demands For North Carolina Community Colleges, Christina Anne Bunch
Educational Leadership & Workforce Development Theses & Dissertations
In response to evolving labor market demands, community colleges play a crucial role in providing accessible, high-quality education that addresses regional workforce needs. However, they face challenges such as declining enrollments, misalignment with local market needs, and limited resources for curriculum adaptation. These obstacles threaten the ability of community colleges to prepare students for the rapidly changing workforce. This study examines how workforce development administrators collaborate with local industry partners to align programs with labor market demands, ensuring community colleges remain relevant and adaptable. Grounded in Human Capital Theory, which links education and economic growth, this qualitative study focuses on …

'How Far I'Ve Come': The Value Of Reviewing Past Written Reflections, Rachel Leyland, Miranda Heath, Tracey Collett, Elizabeth Drake, Hilary Neve
Peninsula Medical School
Promoting reflection on experience and developing students’ reflectiveskills is an important element of curricula across the health professions.Students often do not find reflection easy and educators usea range of approaches to facilitate this. This qualitative study analysedfinal year medical students’ written reflections about important anddifficult concepts they had encountered at medical school and personalchange. As part of this, students were expected to look back ontheir written reflections from earlier years of the undergraduate programme.An initial analysis identified ‘learning from past reflections’ asan important theme. Here we report an in-depth analysis of this theme.Thirty-six final year volunteer students’ reflections were analysed …
Child Custody Cases Now & Then: From Kramer Versus Kramer To Marriage Story, Alexandra Crampton
Child Custody Cases Now & Then: From Kramer Versus Kramer To Marriage Story, Alexandra Crampton
Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
In the 1970s, the movie Kramer versus Kramer dramatized the destructiveness of child custody disputes. It helped inspire family law reform and careers. The central problem identified was an adversarial system and hostile litigation. The proposed solution was alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Over time, these alternatives became an integral part of the family law response to child custody cases, except in cases of vulnerable parties. Today's parents are under greater legal and social pressure to resolve disputes without resorting to court. This can be welcomed and resisted by parents. This article focuses on parental resistance to dispute resolution over litigation …

The Role Of Grandparents In Facilitating Children’S Physical Activity, Michelle I. Jongenelis, Timothy Budden, Hayley Christian, David A. Coall, Ben Jackson, Andrea Nathan, Emma Glassenbury
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
Background: Research suggests there is considerable opportunity to improve children’s movement behaviors while they are being cared for by their grandparents. An understanding of the extent to which grandparent practices facilitate children’s engagement in physical activity is critical to the development of health interventions targeting grandparent caregivers. This study examined the activity-related beliefs and practices of grandparents and their association with grandchildren’s engagement in various movement behaviors while in grandparental care. Methods: Australian grandparents (N = 1190; 60% women) who provided regular care to a grandchild aged 3–14 years were recruited via a web panel provider to complete an online …
Do Women Receive Worse Financial Advice?, Utpal Bhattacharya, Amit Kumar, Sujata Visaria, Jing Zhao
Do Women Receive Worse Financial Advice?, Utpal Bhattacharya, Amit Kumar, Sujata Visaria, Jing Zhao
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
We arranged for trained undercover men and women to pose as potential clients and visit all 65 local financial advisory firms in Hong Kong. At financial planning firms, but not at securities firms, women were more likely than men to receive advice to buy only individual or only local securities. Female clients who signaled high confidence, high risk tolerance, or a domestic outlook were especially likely to receive this suboptimal advice. Our theoretical model explains these patterns as a result of statis-tical discrimination interacting with advisors’ incentives. Taste-based discrimination is unlikely to explain the results.

Research outputs 2022 to 2026
The surge in internet accessibility has transformed wildlife trade by facilitating the acquisition of wildlife through online platforms. This scenario presents unique ethical challenges for researchers, as traditional ethical frameworks for in-person research cannot be readily applied to the online realm. Currently, there is a lack of clearly defined guidelines for appropriate ethical procedures when conducting online wildlife trade (OWT) research. In response to this, we consulted the scientific literature on ethical considerations in online research and examined existing guidelines established by professional societies and ethical boards. Based on these documents, we present a set of recommendations that can inform …

Reimagining A Nursing Ecosystem In An Uncertain World, Pawel Krol, Rochelle Einboden, Horas Wong, Lynore Geia, Agness Tembo
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
The discussion paper synthesises the insights shared during a keynote panel at the 26th International Philosophy of Nursing Conference, themed “Reimagining a nursing ecosystem in an uncertain world.” It delves into the substantial impact uncertainty has on nursing, offering innovative strategies for reconceptualization. Through a critical examination of evidence-based practice, the tendency to homogenise nursing is discussed, prompting advocacy for a Nietzschean political framework as a form of resistance and emancipation. Drawing inspiration from Donna Haraway, a transition from individualistic to relational approaches is needed, especially amidst social and economic instability. Furthermore, the integration of caritas and Indigenous epistemologies underscore …
Privacy Law’S Role In An Information Economy, Sari Mazzurco
Privacy Law’S Role In An Information Economy, Sari Mazzurco
Cardozo Law Review
What do we lose when we lose our privacy? A slew of recently enacted state laws suggest that the loss of privacy is merely a loss of individual choice in the market exchange of services for personal information. This Article argues that a loss of privacy risks something greater: the collapse of complex and fluid social identity. Without privacy, individuals cannot nurture their own senses of self because they are no longer free to try on different social roles across diverse relationships. Pervasive, private data collection threatens multifaceted selfhood by eliminating the boundaries that make social roles distinct and hindering …
The Forever Family’S Legal Loophole: A 50-State Survey On Adoption Dissolution, Kira Kilstein
The Forever Family’S Legal Loophole: A 50-State Survey On Adoption Dissolution, Kira Kilstein
Cardozo Law Review
Adoption is said to be “forever”—longing parents fulfill their dream of parenthood and children get a “forever family.” While the legal system intends for adoptive parent-child relationships to be permanent, a happily-ever-after ending is elusive when adoptions are enabled to fail. In the United States, each state can set its own standard for when courts may grant a request to dissolve an adoption, as well as time limits within which a parent may ask the court to vacate the adoption decree. This legal loophole, known as adoption dissolution, has been met with controversy about the permissibility of parents giving up …

This study reports faculty experiences regarding the discovery of scholarly content, highlighting similarities and differences across a range of academic disciplines. The authors interviewed twenty-five faculty members at a public, high-research university in the Midwest to explore the intersections of discovery, browsing, and format from diverse disciplinary perspectives. Although most participants rely on similar discovery tools such as library catalogs and databases and Google Scholar, their discovery techniques varied according to the discipline and type of research being done. Browsing is not a standard method for discovery, but it is still done selectively and strategically by some scholars. Journal articles …
Late Life Cognitive Function Trajectory Among The Chinese Oldest-Old Population-A Machine Learning Approach, Jierong Hu, Minzhi Ye, Juan Xi
Late Life Cognitive Function Trajectory Among The Chinese Oldest-Old Population-A Machine Learning Approach, Jierong Hu, Minzhi Ye, Juan Xi
School of Social Work Faculty Publications
Informed by the biopsychosocial framework, our study uses the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) dataset to examine cognitive function trajectories among the oldest-old (80+). Employing K-means clustering, we identified two latent groups: High Stability (HS) and Low Stability (LS). The HS group maintained satisfactory cognitive function, while the LS group exhibited consistently low function. Lasso regression revealed predictive factors, including socioeconomic status, biological conditions, mental health, lifestyle, psychological, and behavioral factors. This data-driven approach sheds light on cognitive aging patterns and informs policies for healthy aging. Our study pioneers non-parametric machine learning methods in this context.

Investigating Gender Bias In Large Language Models Through Text Generation, Shweta Soundararajan, Sarah Jane Delany
Conference papers
Large Language Models (LLMs) have swiftly become essential tools across diverse text generation applications. However, LLMs also raise significant ethical and societal concerns, particularly regarding potential gender biases in the text they produce. This study investigates the presence of gender bias in four LLMs: ChatGPT 3.5, ChatGPT 4, Llama 2 7B, and Llama 2 13B. By generating a gendered language dataset using these LLMs, focusing on sentences about men and women, we analyze the extent of gender bias in their outputs. Our evaluation is two-fold: we use the generated dataset to train a gender stereotype detection task and measure gender …

Did Stalinism Pave The Way For The Rise Of The Marcos Dictatorship? A Review Of Joseph Scalice’S The Drama Of Dictatorship, Jervy C. Briones, Karlo Mikhail I. Mongaya
Journal Article
Joseph Scalice’s The Drama of Dictatorship: Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines (2023) offers arguably one of the most definitive Trotskyist critiques of the historical legacy of the Philippine communist movement. Through extensive archival research, Scalice interprets the split between the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (PKP) and the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) as a local expression of the Sino-Soviet split, arguing that both parties acted as class collaborators by aligning with rival factions of the Filipino elite. This review article critically engages with Scalice’s historical claims from an anti-imperialist, Marxist, and non-sectarian perspective. While his …

A Study On The Impact Of Relationship Strength In Technological Collaboration Networks, Absorptive Capacity, And Leadership Regulatory Focus On Team Ambidextrous Innovation, Zhen Li
Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)
In the context of rapid global economic development, competition among enterprises has become increasingly fierce, making innovation the core driving force for maintaining competitive advantage and promoting sustainable development. This paper explores the impact of relationship strength within technological collaboration networks, absorptive capacity, and leadership regulatory focus on incremental and radical innovation. The study finds that while relationship strength has no significant impact on incremental innovation, it has a negative effect on radical innovation. The absorptive capacity within technological collaboration networks positively influences both types of innovation. The research also highlights the critical role of leadership regulatory focus: High prevention-focus …

Social Institutions And Low Birth Rates, Christine Ho, Yutao Wang
Research Collection School Of Economics
We document three cross-sectional stylized facts on labor supply and family formation. First, female labor force participation (FLFP) and total fertility rates (TFRs) are much lower in Eastern societies compared to Western economies. Second, labor hours and the gender pay gap are much higher in the East than in the West. Third, parents invest more in schooling in Eastern societies compared to Western economies. To account for these features, we develop and estimate a rich heterogeneous-agent model with endogenous marriage, fertility, labor supply, and time and money investment in children. Estimates using data from South Korea and the United States …
A History Of The Geology Program At The University Of Tennessee At Martin, Michael A. Gibson
A History Of The Geology Program At The University Of Tennessee At Martin, Michael A. Gibson
The Compass: Earth Science Journal of Sigma Gamma Epsilon
The teaching of geology has as long a history as The University of Tennessee at Martin has itself, extending back to 1901 when the first geology class was offered at the campus’s original institution, Hall-Moody Institute, a small Baptist college. Geology, usually with geography, was offered as a service course to the primary programs of agriculture, education and, later, engineering. Faculty turnover during these formative years was frequent. When the school was acquired by the University of Tennessee in 1927 and became UT Junior College, geology remained a service course. Geology offerings had been expanding since 1947 and, in 1951, …

How The Settler State Continues To Dispossess: Infrastructural (Dis)Entitlement On The Critical Minerals Frontier, Dayna Nadine Scott
How The Settler State Continues To Dispossess: Infrastructural (Dis)Entitlement On The Critical Minerals Frontier, Dayna Nadine Scott
All Papers
The scramble for critical minerals to fuel the energy transition is driving new extractive frontiers across the globe. In Ontario’s far north, settler state authorities and extractive firms are engaged in coordinated tactics to gain ground amidst a growing polarization in positions of Indigenous leadership. There is both a surging resistance to, and a resigned acceptance of, critical minerals mining by First Nations. Drawing on years of community-engaged research, I detail here the contemporary state tactics of infrastructural (dis)entitlement; infrastructural needs are both denied and fulfilled to differential effect. Infrastructural disentitlement is passive; it is not necessarily deliberate, nor is …
The Operation Of The Holy Spirit In Pastoral Counseling And Chaplaincy, Elizabeth Canfield
The Operation Of The Holy Spirit In Pastoral Counseling And Chaplaincy, Elizabeth Canfield
Doctor of Ministry (DMin)

This dissertation seeks to understand the movement of the Holy Spirit in pastoral counseling and chaplaincy in the form of a theological and literature review looking into the history of soul care/pastoral counseling and the development of chaplaincy. It also looks at who the Holy Spirit is, how the Spirit operates, and develops a theology of the Holy Spirit within pastoral counseling and chaplaincy with a focus on spiritual gifts. …
Palette Of Perspective: Designing An Inclusive Art History Curriculum, Amy Bettencourt
Palette Of Perspective: Designing An Inclusive Art History Curriculum, Amy Bettencourt
Theses
This project aims to develop an inclusive art history curriculum as a high school level course, addressing the traditional Western-centric focus that has been marginalized non-Western contributions. By pairing Western and non-Western artworks within a chronological framework, students can compare artistic expressions across cultures, emphasizing parallel histories rather than a single Eurocentric narrative. The curriculum employs diverse interpretive methodologies to foster critical thinking and challenge conventional narrative. Designed for a 20-week semester, it focuses on a smaller number of key artworks per unit to encourage meaningful engagement and projects. While still rooted in Western art, the course connects global artistic …

Etdsuite: A Toolkit To Mine Electronic Theses And Dissertations To Enrich Scholarly Big Data Using Natural Language Processing And Computer Vision, Muntabir Hasan Choudhury
Computer Science Theses & Dissertations
In the past decades, there has been a growing interest in mining scientific documents to obtain domain knowledge automatically. One of the understudied types of scientific documents is Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs), as ETDs have distinct features compared with conference proceedings and journal articles. ETDs usually serve as partial requirements of academic degrees for students pursuing higher education. They are book-length documents (i.e., 100 – 400 pages long), and the topics may shift across chapters, exhibit the significant contribution of a student’s research over the entire degree pursuing period, and have unique metadata schema and page layouts. However, the …
Childhood Adversity's Impact On Criminal Behavior, Isobel Marie Avento
Childhood Adversity's Impact On Criminal Behavior, Isobel Marie Avento
Theses and Dissertations
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as abuse, neglect, and family criminal history, have been identified as potential risk factors for negative physical, psychological, and behavioral health outcomes. Emerging literature suggests that ACEs are also among the primary factors leading to delinquency and adult criminal behavior. However, there is limited applied research that provides practitioners with appropriate insight to intervene when ACEs are identified among juvenile delinquents to reduce recidivism risk. This study adds to the existing literature by examining how cumulative ACEs shape criminal behavior of individuals from the onset until its desistance over the span of twenty years. Using …

Cultivating Self-Knowledge In The Writing Classroom: A Study Of Contemplative Pedagogy, Jared Featherstone
Cultivating Self-Knowledge In The Writing Classroom: A Study Of Contemplative Pedagogy, Jared Featherstone
English Theses & Dissertations
This pedagogical research study examines the effects of Understanding the Self Through Writing and Rhetoric, an undergraduate course designed by the researcher, on students. The course is an example of contemplative writing pedagogy, one that seeks to foreground first-person direct experience of the subject matter and integrates mindfulness meditation and journaling throughout. While writing and rhetoric are common undergraduate subjects to teach, the course focuses on particular, lesser-known aspects of them, internal rhetoric and self-making narrative. A third important part of the course is the examination of how communication technologies, especially social media and messaging applications, affect one’s internal rhetoric …
