Naming Names: Phenomenology And Pseudonyms, Rebecca Woods Jan 2025

Naming Names: Phenomenology And Pseudonyms, Rebecca Woods

Plymouth Interdisciplinary Education Open Journal

This short opinion piece uses my experiences of formulating pseudonyms during my doctoral project as a way of examining this task. Names are our public labels and as such they are part of self-perception and are catalysts for responses to others. Pseudonyms are not empty; they are cultural artefacts in academia which form connections with participants. The issues addressed with regard to re-naming are research context, ontology, method, navigating sensitivities, contextual determination, concluding with a review of congruence and robustness. The task of generating pseudonyms has the potential for being an exciting way of encapsulating how researchers consider participants and …


Exploring The Experiences Of Autistic Girls Within Mainstream Primary Education In England, Olivia Jones Jan 2025

Exploring The Experiences Of Autistic Girls Within Mainstream Primary Education In England, Olivia Jones

Plymouth Interdisciplinary Education Open Journal

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that causes social difficulties such as making and maintaining friendships and sensory difficulties that cause distress triggered by light, sound or smell stimuli that significantly impact daily life. Roughly 1 in every 100 children are diagnosed with ASD (NHS Inform, 2023). However, females are notably less likely to receive a formal diagnosis than males, which leads to higher rates of poor mental health and lack of self-acceptance. Females with ASD are likely not to receive their diagnosis or support for their difficulties until late teens or early adulthood. Those diagnosed with ASD …


Lessons For Public Policy From The Covid-19 Pandemic, Olga Shvetsova Jan 2025

Lessons For Public Policy From The Covid-19 Pandemic, Olga Shvetsova

Political Science Faculty Scholarship

In the early 2020s, as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, governments, bureaucracies, and health practitioners around the globe faced unforeseen tasks and responsibilities. The novelty and intensity of the crisis spurred innovation and experimentation in public policy, health policy, and crisis management. However, the pandemic also revealed bottlenecks and adverse incentives within policy framework and healthcare systems. From this experience, critical lessons emerged: the paramount importance of swift and well-informed policy responses and the ability to optimize ongoing policy response as the crisis unfolds.

Climate Conversations: An Intergenerational Artistic Exploration With Family, Julia A. Craven Jan 2025

Climate Conversations: An Intergenerational Artistic Exploration With Family, Julia A. Craven

Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee

This cross-generational study explores perceptions of climate change through interviews and visual art from three generations: the author, their grandparents, and their aunt. Guided by questions such as “Whose responsibility is it to address climate change?” and “How has climate change affected you?,” the interviews were used to create three art pieces that explore different aspects of climate change. The first art piece, titled “Eco-Anxiety,” visually represents the author's anxiety about climate change through the detangling of hair in their hands that "pull" at relevant climate news articles in the background. The second piece, “Beauty’s in the Eye of the …

Recasting Gender Roles: A Study Of Indian Television Commercials (2011– 2020), Himika Akram, Alicia Mason

Faculty Submissions

On media, television commercials (TVCs) play a significant role in shaping societal perceptions of gender roles. This study examines gender depictions in Indian TVCs, focusing on key dimensions such as gender ratio in primary characters, voiceovers, settings (home, outdoor, workplace), and product categories. A content analysis of 120 TVCs from Indian brands (2011–2020) was conducted, with coding performed by the researcher. Findings reveal that men were primary characters in 54.6% of the advertisements, while women featured in 45.4%. Male voiceovers dominated at 70.1%, compared to 29.9% for females. Women were portrayed in home settings in 66.7% of TVCs, while men …

Targeting women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, the study was conducted using a feminist theoretical framework emphasizing societal norms, power imbalances, and institutional inequities as critical factors shaping women’s professional experiences. A generic qualitative design was employed, collecting data through semistructured interviews and SenseMaker narratives from four faculty members at a Jordanian university. Thematic coding, discourse analysis, and sentiment analysis were used …

Development Of 'Me And You' Model For Emotional And Behavioral Disorders In Children: A Joyful Approach, Siti Nuraini Purnamawati, Hartini Nara, Rohmah Ageng Mursita, Lintang Al Mar’Atus Sholihah

Journal of ICSAR

This research focuses on the development of the "Me and You" learning model for children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD), especially those from socioeconomically disadvantaged environments, such as the Rusunawa Jatinegara Kaum area in East Jakarta. Using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the study employed a systematic, evidence-based approach to create and refine an effective educational intervention. The model, organized around five core themes addressing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and social interaction, aims to reduce misunderstandings and foster positive peer relationships. The intervention was tested in a community setting, and expert validation was conducted. Findings suggest that …

Current Debates & Teacher Reflections On Critical Race Theory In The United States, Caterina B. Azzarello, Ashlee Kemp, Kevin Pugh Jan 2025

Current Debates & Teacher Reflections On Critical Race Theory In The United States, Caterina B. Azzarello, Ashlee Kemp, Kevin Pugh

Journal of Educational Research and Innovation

This study examines teachers' beliefs about Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the U.S. educational system. Given the controversy surrounding CRT, understanding these beliefs is crucial for informing professional development, curriculum design, and instructional strategies. The study employed an online survey to assess over sixty U.S. preservice and current teachers' knowledge and perceived importance of CRT. Results indicated moderate awareness and importance of CRT among participants, with significant variability. Newer teachers tended to have higher CRT knowledge, likely due to recent emphasis on diversity in teacher training programs. However, years of teaching experience did not predict the perceived importance of CRT. …


Parallel Punishments: The School-To-Prison Transgender Pipeline, Rayna Momen, Lindsay K. Semprevivo, Cris Mayo Jan 2025

Parallel Punishments: The School-To-Prison Transgender Pipeline, Rayna Momen, Lindsay K. Semprevivo, Cris Mayo

Journal of Queer and Trans Studies in Education

With increasing criminalization of transgender people, especially legislation targeting youth, researchers need to consider more closely the historical and continuing criminalization of gender non-normativity. We suggest in this article that closer attention to queer criminology in relationship to transgender and gender-related social justice education can help shape research agendas and school practices and disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline for transgender youth. Our focus is specifically on how disciplinary practices requiring identification as well as those that ignore identification both contribute to the growth of punitive responses to gender diversity, especially in relationship to race and ethnicity.

Contemporary Europe: A Geographic Analysis. (7th Edition) By William H. Berent-Sen, Editor, Wendy Shaw

The Geographical Bulletin

Europe is a continent characterized by great complexity both physically and culturally. It is a fascinating place steeped in history yet seemingly in a state of con - stant flux. The region provides a challenge to authors who endeavor to present a comprehensive view of Europe. This book targets students in introductory col - lege courses and focuses on contemporary Europe. Each chapter has a different author, writing style, approach, and struc - ture that reflects that author's area of in - terest and expertise. Chapters are in - cluded that are topically focused such as those on population and …


Pope Francis’ Theology Of Hospitality As An Advocacy Model For Refugee Management In The Indonesian Context, Ishak Jacues Cavin Jan 2025

Pope Francis’ Theology Of Hospitality As An Advocacy Model For Refugee Management In The Indonesian Context, Ishak Jacues Cavin

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

This article examines the shortcomings of current refugee management practice and makes the case for a shift towards a rights-based approach. It contends against prevailing charitable and needs-based reactions by asserting that these sorts of frameworks have a tendency to overlook refugees as entire human beings possessing inherent dignity and rights. Such models tend to depict refugees as recipients of aid passively without their potential for empowerment and social engagement. As a response, the study introduces Pope Francis' theology of hospitality as a comprehensive advocacy model. The model is established on four important stages: welcoming, protecting, supporting, and, notably, integrating. …

Acquiring Ethical Ai, David S. Rubenstein Jan 2025

Acquiring Ethical Ai, David S. Rubenstein

Florida Law Review

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how the federal government operates. Under the right conditions, AI systems can solve complex problems, reduce administrative burdens, improve human decisions, and optimize resources. Under the wrong conditions, AI systems can lead to widespread discrimination, invasions of privacy, and the erosion of democratic norms. A burgeoning literature has emerged to square algorithmic governance with the precepts of constitutional and administrative law. Federal procurement law, however, remains a dangerous blind spot in the reformist agenda. This Article pivots into that neglected space and emerges with comprehensive framework for acquiring ethical AI. Toward that end, the Article …


The Design Studio Dilemma The “Slicing Method”, Yasser Osman El Gammal Associate Professor Dr. Jan 2025

The Design Studio Dilemma The “Slicing Method”, Yasser Osman El Gammal Associate Professor Dr.

Journal of Engineering Research

The design studio presents a multifaceted challenge due to the absence of a direct teaching approach, relying heavily on the teacher's expertise, design acumen, and pace. Furthermore, much of the existing literature on design studio methods tends to be philosophical or opinion-based, lacking practical solutions for ongoing challenges in this domain. While it's easy for scholars to theorize, offering comprehensive procedures to address design studio issues proves considerably more difficult. There's no unanimous agreement on the topic; most design studio models are based on individual opinions as scholars and practitioners view the topic from different angles, developing their own perspectives. …

Examining The Creative Process Of Visual Artists: A Phenomenological Study, Filiberto Vargas Jan 2025

Examining The Creative Process Of Visual Artists: A Phenomenological Study, Filiberto Vargas

Dissertations

Creativity fuels problem solving and innovation, driving both economic growth and individual success. Yet, many schools and organizations fail to nurture it. Today, there is a decline in creativity scores among U.S. students. This is concerning since many of these students will be the future leaders of organizations and communities. For this reason, this dissertation explores the creative process of visual artists to better understand how creativity can be cultivated. Visual artists' perspectives and sense-and-meaning-making processes offer a unique view of innovation and creativity. However, there is limited research on the creative processes of contemporary visual artists from culturally diverse …


The State Of Global And African Ecology, Peter Knox Jan 2025

The State Of Global And African Ecology, Peter Knox

Landas

This article recounts the growth of concern for the environment in the latter half of the 20th Century, and its entry into Catholic magisterial theology. It expands on the ecological theory of planetary boundaries, and identifies how the theory surfaces in Pope Francis’ 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’. Based upon solid contemporary science, the encyclical is well founded to outline an appropriate and compassionate moral theology of care for creation. The article cites multiple instances where African people are at the nexus of environmental and social crises, focusing on how contemporary ecological factors affect women in particular. Environmental crises should not …


Ethical Attitudes Toward Taxes In The U.S.: Changes Over 20 Years And Demographic Differences, Donald L. Ariail, Dennis R. Lassila, Anita Reed, Lawrence Murphy Smith Jan 2025

Ethical Attitudes Toward Taxes In The U.S.: Changes Over 20 Years And Demographic Differences, Donald L. Ariail, Dennis R. Lassila, Anita Reed, Lawrence Murphy Smith

Florida Tax Review

This study examines ethical attitudes toward taxation in the United States (U.S.). The U.S. system, as in many other countries, relies on voluntary compliance, where taxpayers calculate their own taxes due. Thus, ethicality of taxpayers is of critical importance. This study updates prior research on taxpayer ethical attitudes, such as comfort level with tax evasion, views on punishment for tax evasion and perspectives on civic duty to pay a fair share of taxes. A comparison is made with a benchmark study of 20 years ago. In addition, a demographic analysis is provided of current taxpayer ethical attitudes based on: age, …


Mosaicos De La Comunidad (Mosaics Of The Community): Community-Engaged Participatory Muraling With Madres Emprendedoras, Jesica S. Fernandez, Laura A. Nichols Jan 2025

Mosaicos De La Comunidad (Mosaics Of The Community): Community-Engaged Participatory Muraling With Madres Emprendedoras, Jesica S. Fernandez, Laura A. Nichols

Ethnic Studies

In this paper, we describe a collaborative community-based research project that centered on community members’ lived experiences, which led to the identification of key community issues that resulted in a representative art project in the form of a public mural. Eleven mothers who were long-time residents of the community were the drivers of the issue identification and mural creation. The issues identified, and subsequently depicted in the mural, revealed the importance of the environment in neighborhoods, with residents dealing with encampments, illegal dumping, prostitution, eviction, and gentrification. In the mural Mosaicos de la Comunidad (Mosaics of the Community), a group …
