Creating A Climate Change Intervention To Reduce Students' Psychological Distance, Emily Holt, Jessica Duke

Assessment Mini Grant Reports

While most undergraduate students in the United States accept that climate change is occurring, they often harbor alternative conceptions associated with its distance spatially, temporally, hypothetically, and socially (Duke & Holt, 2022; Spence et al., 2012). The construct of psychological distance (PD) explains that an individual may recognize that climate change is a problem; however, they may believe it 1) is only affecting other people (high social distance), 2) is occurring far from their location (high spatial distance), 3) will occur in the future, but is not impacting them now (high temporal distance), or 4) is uncertain and therefore not …

Text is more suitable for expressing food functions, while pictures are more suitable for expressing sensory appeals. Secondly, package imagery had a significant impact on …

Hala Aswang!: A Zine On The Injustices During The Duterte Administration Foretold Through The Aswang Folklore, Eritch Angela Torrato

DLSU Senior High School Research Congress

The Duterte administration, which lasted from 2016 to 2022, incited a multitude of human rights violations against the marginalized groups of Philippine society, namely women, and the poor. It was discovered and established through literature that these injustices can primarily be attributed to the former president’s hypermasculinity, a manifestation of hegemonic masculinity in the contemporary era. Given this, this research then seeked to investigate the aforementioned phenomenon and communicate this using art, more specifically through the Aswang folklore and visual communication, to make these information accessible, especially to the masses; to foster social consciousness among its audience as a means …

Assessing The Effectiveness Of Non-Traditional Climate Change Communication Tools In The City Of Santa Cruz, Saara Ranabhat

Master's Theses

Coastal cities face significant challenges from climate-induced coastal hazards. The City of Santa Cruz is a medium-sized municipality in Monterey Bay on California's Central Coast with over $1 billion worth of property and infrastructure at risk to climate-induced coastal hazards by 2100. However, city officials have noticed a lack of representation of climate-vulnerable communities in the development of various climate adaptation plans and policies. In order to remedy this problem, the City is experimenting with various climate change communication tools, such as virtual reality (VR), card games, murals, and comic books, in collaboration with different agencies. But limited understanding exists …

The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is a global terrorist organization that was founded in 1976. Since the creation of ALF, the group has spread rapidly as well as turned into a domestic terrorist organization in the United States. With this project, the group's potential threat to Kentucky was evaluated. ALF was evaluated using four structured analytic techniques and an intelligence collection plan. A better understanding of what ALF is was formed by the discussion of the group’s origins, ideology, and organization. In addition, the group's goals, objectives, and capabilities were discussed. Using the information gathered during the threat profile, the …

Illustrating Thoughts & Feelings: Student-Produced Political Cartoons About Israel, Matt Reingold

SANE journal: Sequential Art Narrative in Education

This paper presents the findings of a qualitative study about the inclusion of arts-based assessment strategies in a 12th grade Israel education classroom. Students were tasked with producing a political cartoon that demonstrated their understandings of contemporary Israeli society. Data was collected from interviews and students' original artwork. The findings revealed that learning through the arts provided students with opportunities to think about and express their feelings about Israel in aesthetically complex and personal ways. The findings also demonstrated the importance of pre-assessment strategies like frequent exposure to the genre of political cartoons and conferencing before submission.

Unforeseen Consequences Of Visual Literacy: Alternative Mechanisms For Creating A More Inclusive Environment, Lorin Jackson, Kelleen Maluski, Jonathan Pringle

MUSC Faculty Bookshelf

Acknowledging the commendable efforts of colleagues in articulating significant concepts and theoretical approaches to enhance visual literacy within the LIS field, this work critically examines the Visual Literacy (VL) Framework. The analysis calls for a more inclusive representation of diverse experiences, particularly those of individuals with disabilities. Drawing inspiration from the conceptualization of critique as care, the study emphasizes a collaborative approach to integrate social justice, equity, and inclusion principles better into LIS work. While recognizing the VL Framework's value as a starting point, the study identifies gaps related to universal accessibility and challenges in the language used. The chapter …

Is Proximity Enough? A Case Study Examining A College Access Program On The Grounds Of Public Housing On The West Coast, Nicole S. Berry

Theses and Dissertations

The issue of college access for students from low-income communities has been a longstanding challenge in American higher education. Despite numerous efforts to address the gaps in college attendance and graduation rates between students from low-income and more affluent communities, the problem remains present. This has led to a need for an in-depth analysis of college access programming explicitly tailored to low-income communities, particularly those residing in public housing authorities. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD, 2016) has recognized this need by funding and piloting college access programs in several public housing authorities around the United States. These …

Grado en Diseño y Desarrollo de videojuegos

El Trabajo de Fin de Grado (TFG) aborda el análisis y comparación de interfaces en videojuegos, específicamente enfocándose en "The Wandering Village". El estudio explora la necesidad y efectividad de mostrar una gran cantidad de materiales en pantalla, evaluando si esta cantidad es excesiva o sostenible para el jugador. A través de encuestas a jugadores y análisis subjetivos de la interfaz, se investiga cómo el juego maneja la visualización de materiales, su impacto en la experiencia de usuario, y cómo una interfaz llamativa con menos elementos puede atraer a un público más amplio. Los resultados indican que, aunque el juego …

Community Impact: Murals & Public Art, Annie Dong

Theses & ETDs

This thesis project integrates social practice and multiculturalism theory with public art murals and involves producing art in both gallery spaces and public spaces resulting in two large mural installations that examine the benefits that public art and social activism have on communities, drawing inspiration from artists including Judy Baca and Michelle Angela Ortiz. Through this work, I examine both the role of public murals as a catalyst for community building as well as the impact of adolescent participation in the creation of community murals on their well-being using the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Theory (BPNS).

Textiles, Dress And Politics: A Diachronic Perspective Through The Case Studies Of Ancient Rome And Medieval Iceland, Meghan Korten, Zofia Kaczmarek

Textile Crossroads: Exploring European Clothing, Identity, and Culture across Millennia

People dress for more than just aesthetic reasons. Over the centuries, dress became a sign of human civilization, allowing us to identify the origin, gender, and status of the wearer. Textiles and clothing influence our body, posture, movements, and the way we are perceived by society. Textiles are also a tool used by people to further their agenda, that is why they found their place in the political life of many ancient and modern societies.

According to Michel Foucault, power can be understood as a set of activities influencing the life of the other: It provokes, forbids, or permits, but …
