Using Sociolinguistics And Literary Studies To Understand Code-Switching Within Works By Louise Erdrich, Bruno Santic

Undergraduate Theses

There exists a multitude of definitions and concepts that describe the movement between and from one linguistic code to the next, commonly referred to as code-switching. Each definition given differs not only between fields of research but also within said fields of research, making it incredibly difficult to create one unified definition for code-switching. The two most popular fields of research that have extensively studied code-switching are sociolinguistics and literature/literary studies, with both fields having basic tenets of study that create different nuances in how code-switching is described by researchers in each respective field of study. One of the key …

The controversial topic of illegal immigration has repeatedly and deeply divided the United States. There has been, in recent years, a spotlight on immigrants from Latin America, and impersonal claims are being spread in news articles everywhere. For this research, survey questionnaires and ethnographic interviews were used to facilitate a sample of undocumented immigrants from the Louisville, Kentucky, and Southern Indiana (An area known as “Kentuckiana”) to provide insight on their experiences.

Development Of A Non-Invasive Dna Extraction Method From Teeth, Monalisa Heng

Honors Theses

Forensic dentistry has evolved from simple morphological investigations to genetic and molecular analysis. One of the most important techniques is DNA analysis which requires viable samples from an individual or crime site. The orofacial region can be a good source for DNA samples because the tissues can resist environmental, thermal, electrical, and mechanical challenges. Teeth are especially useful as a source of genetic material because the DNA located in the pulp is surrounded by protective mineral tissue. The DNA in the pulp tissue is currently accessed through destructive methods involving crushing, pulverization, and splitting the tooth. Unfortunately, destructive methods destroy …

A Constructivist Grounded Theory Of Spiritual Competencies Development In Counseling Supervision, Emmanuel Javert Nnadozie

Dissertations

Developing religious and spiritual competencies is paramount in the training of counselors to become effective in addressing clients’ religious and spiritual issues in counseling. Clinical supervision in practicum and internship courses is key to the development of these competencies, but questions as to how best they might be infused in counselor training remained. The purpose of the study was to create an explanatory theory of the process of the development of religious and spiritual competencies in clinical supervision. Utilizing grounded theory, experts in the field of supervision and spirituality were interviewed. The ways paradigm was used as a sensitizing concept …

Diversity Tolerance, Nationalism, Cosmopolitanism In College Students, Nicholas Decker

Campus Research Month

The study of a cosmopolitan frame of reference is relatively new within the social sciences and there is little known about how prevalent this frame is used in the decision of college students. More needs to be known about whether college students work off of a cosmopolitan or nationalist frame and how this in turn affects their tolerance of diversity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether college students possess nationalistic or cosmopolitan outlooks, and if so, how these relate to how tolerant of diversity these college students are as well as whether this tolerance correlates with any …

Maintaining Patient-Provider Relationships In Times Of Telehealth, Abigail Marilyn Kaluza

Celebrating Scholarship and Creativity Day (2018-)

During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare networks and hospitals quickly mobilized to implement telehealth systems to reduce the risk of transmission during patient care visits. Based on interviews with 75 healthcare workers across 18 states, this research examines the benefits and challenges of widespread use of telehealth systems as a core component of healthcare delivery. While telehealth has proven to be useful for both patients and providers throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it has brought to light inequalities and the technological barrier that telehealth brings affecting patient-provider relationships.

The Medical Policing Of Transgender And Gender Nonconforming Adults, Gabrielle Hawkins

Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects

This research aims to better understand the discriminatory health care experiences of transgender and gender nonconforming adults. Conducted through a non-positivist sociological methodology, a primary objective of this research is to uplift transgender and other gender nonconforming voices through a study of lived, personal health narratives. In open-forum, semi-structured interviews, eight participants were asked questions relating to their health narratives, including questions concerning health care experiences and any encounters with discriminatory behaviors/actions by medical professionals and/or other medical affiliated personnel (i.e., receptionists, community health advisors, pharmacists, etc.). Potential questions ranged in theme (but were not limited to): gender identity, gender …

The Rebrand Of Sheamoisture, Anna Lechard

Honors Theses

I would like to start with why I chose the company SheaMoisture to rebrand. SheaMoisture was introduced to me by a hairstylist. I was looking for a product that was affordable and healthy for my hair. Before knowing of this company I would not have picked it off the shelf for myself. Not many hair care companies are affordable, hair type specific, and ethically sounded meaning they have good company values, an interesting origin story, and contain clean ingredients. However, with all these good things said, I did not understand that with the current branding in place which is why …

Food Insecurity Of Community College Students: Addressing Barriers To Improve Persistence And Retention, Erin M. Van Egmond

Masters Projects

Food insecurity is a non-academic barrier that must be considered when determining factors affecting students’ persistence and retention in college. Through the literature reviewed, food insecurity of community college students and the impact and barriers they face is explored in detail. The proposed solution addresses the stigma and lack of awareness regarding food insecurity resources available on campuses. Targeted communication with all students at the start of each semester will allow individuals to assess their level of food security. Depending on the level of food security, a targeted communication plan will follow providing information on resources available. Faculty and staff …

265 -- The Effects Of Biomedicalization Of Pregnancy, Childbirth, And Postnatal Care On Maya Midwives, Jillian Demaria

GREAT Day Posters

Traditional birthing assistants (TBA) have been used to assist many women in various cultures with at-home childbirth. In Latin America, especially in traditional Maya communities, the use of TBAs has a very historical and cultural significance. Midwives, also known as comadronas, are said to have been called upon by divine supernatural powers to become midwives for their communities. Comadronas are considered to be spiritual beings who can predict pregnancies, interpret signs within births, and foresee the future of the child. However, practices surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care have changed due to the increase in biomedicalized care within several areas …

274 -- Biomedicalization's Effect On Traditional Yucatec Mayan Reproductive Practices & Medicinal Plant Use, Jordan Moore

GREAT Day Posters

In this study, I will examine Yucatec Maya women’s experiences with the reproductive cycle regarding medicinal plant use as well as traditional cultural practices and beliefs. Medicinal plant use in general is still very prevalent in rural communities of Yucatan, Mexico due to the lack of biomedical healthcare accessibility, transportation, and costly fees of care. Maya women and traditional birth attendants use medicinal plants throughout the female reproductive cycle as needed to manage pain, inflammation, and for prevention against culturally important illnesses. Mayan plant practices have begun to be implemented into the biomedical healthcare system within the past few decades …

072 -- How Provider-Patient Interactions Influence Patient Experiences, Emily Lumbis

GREAT Day Posters

The interaction between a patient and a provider is crucial to the success of any medical or healthcare appointment. It often goes overlooked, and there is more of a focus on the provider correctly diagnosing and treating the patient. Although patients will remember the success of being properly diagnosed and treated for an illness, what truly stands out is the way the interaction went. This ethnographic research project focuses on provider-patient interactions from the patient’s perspective, and how those interactions shaped their experiences. The goal of this study was to better understand the interactions between patients and providers and the …

091 -- Suggestions For How Geneseo Faculty Can Improve Students’ Experiences In Office Hours, Tyler Grasso

GREAT Day Posters

This study explores Geneseo undergraduate students’ experiences in and attitudes towards faculty office hours. In semi-structured interviews with eight undergraduate students (conducted in the Fall 2021 semester), students were asked to reflect on practices by faculty that made them feel welcome or unwelcome while visiting office hours, as well as how they feel before their visits. Practices by faculty that are received well by students include remembering or asking for students’ names, receiving students warmly, making an effort to connect with students, and having their office door open. Conversely, students say that they feel unwelcome when a professor’s office is …

103 -- The Effects Of Gentrification On Minority Health And Wellbeing In New York City, Maya Nunez

GREAT Day Posters

Gentrification, which can be defined as “a process in which formerly under-resourced, neighborhoods experience reinvestment and in-migration of increasingly affluent new residents”, is a multi-level phenomenon that has been linked with negative resident health outcomes, specifically among minority groups (Tulier et al., 2019, 1). Attempts to reduce health inequalities have resulted in increased research on the relationship between gentrification and health (Tuiler et al., 2019, 1). Although scholars have been able to identify the several benefits and costs of gentrification on minority health, there are significant challenges to studying this relationship. Current scholarship has demonstrated that a negative relationship exists …

Using Mitogenomes To Explore The Social And Ecological Contexts Of Crocodile Mummification In Ancient Egypt, Salima Ikram, Evon R. Hekkala, Roger Colten, Seth W. Cunningham

Faculty Journal Articles

We used isotopic and genomic data to explore the ecological and social context of cultural practices associated with the mummification of crocodiles in ancient Egypt. Ancient DNA was recovered from four mummified crocodile hatchlings held in the collections of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University. Previous genetic analyses of crocodile mummies have indicated that most mummies represent the newly resurrected taxon, Crocodylus suchus Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1807. However, mitogenomic data for the Yale Peabody Museum mummies indicates that these specimens represent the first genomically authenticated representatives of the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus Laurenti, 1768) in museum collections. We explore …

Analysis Of Spindle Whorls And Fishing Weights From The Ancient Maya Trading Port Of Moho Cay, Belize, Kaitlin Samples

LSU Master's Theses

Abstract

Trading, fishing, and spinning thread were important parts of the ancient Maya world. Iconography and archaeological excavations have shown the importance of the three activities. The ancient Maya had an extensive trade network along the Belize River. The site of Moho Cay was an important trading area within this network. Excavations at Moho Cay show the importance of trade, fishing, and spinning at Moho Cay. The excavations done in 1979, led by Dr. McKillop and the team of Trent University, yielded a large sample of spindle whorls and fishing weights. Analysis of these spindle whorls and fishing weights is …

Food Security: A Study Of The History Of Nutritional Insecurity And Implications Of Development In The Rural Sierra And Selva Regions Of Peru, Jane Morrissey

Undergraduate Honors Theses

This study looks at the history of food insecurity in Peru, ranging from 1969 to 2021. The main contribution this paper seeks to make is to create a holistic approach at viewing the historical causes and consequences of food insecurity in Peru, particularly in the rural mountainous regions of the country. These areas range from the southeastern, eastern, and northeastern towns near Lima, with case studies from towns such as Ayacucho, San Martin, Huaycan, Socos, Banda de Shilcayo, and Sapote. Different levels of effective food security can be observed from the oppressive political overthrow of agriculture production in the 1960s …

Communities Of Water: An Examination Of Cooperation And Conflict In Water Management Practices In The Central Peruvian Andes, Sylvie D. Littledale

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis explores two examples of water management in the highland Peruvian villages, San Pedro de Llancha and San Antonio de Chinchina. One example is of cooperation and union between the two communities. The other is of conflict between the same two villages just 40 years prior. I examine ethnographic and ethnohistorical data from both the collaborative period and the conflictive period of these two communities’ relations over water. The data suggest that, while the outcomes of these two periods were drastically different, the processes through which these communities came into relation with one another were quite similar. Their communal …
