Biological and Biomedical Sciences Department Faculty Journal Articles

Humans emerged across Africa shortly before 300 thousand years ago (ka)1,2,3. Although this pan-African evolutionary process implicates diverse environments in the human story, the role of tropical forests remains poorly understood. Here we report a clear association between late Middle Pleistocene material culture and a wet tropical forest in southern Côte d’Ivoire, a region of present-day rainforest. Twinned optically stimulated luminescence and electron spin resonance dating methods constrain the onset of human occupations at Bété I to around 150 ka, linking them with Homo sapiens. Plant wax biomarker, stable isotope, phytolith and pollen …

Of Cordial Ladies And Independent Women: An Analysis Of The Ceramic Assemblage Of The 19th Century Cooper-Frost-Austin House, Mikayla Roderick

Graduate Masters Theses

This thesis explores the transformation of Susan Austin’s (1807-1885) household in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from a private family home into a boardinghouse, challenging traditional distinctions between domestic and economic spaces. Using feminist and queer theoretical frameworks, it examines how Austin’s decisions blurred public and private boundaries, creating an intimate boardinghouse. Through ceramic analysis of two occupational phases and a documentary examination of the household members over time, this study identifies shifts in material culture that reflect changing household practices, social relationships, and status negotiation. Austin intentionally created an environment where commercial spaces took on a domestic appearance, integrating elements of familiarity …

Beyond ‘Fake It ‘Till You Make It’: Impostor Phenomenon In Archivists, April K. Anderson-Zorn, Tiffany Cole, Taylor Flinn, Jane Labarbara

Faculty and Staff Publications – Milner Library

In December 2022, members of the College and University Archives Section of the Society of American Archivists conducted a survey that examined the prevalence of impostor phenomenon (IP) among archivists. This study, the first to specifically focus on archivists, measures the prevalence of IP in the professional archival community. Using demographic data and the Clance Survey, the authors seek to identify factors that may lead to increased IP in archivists. This paper will review literature related to IP in the information sciences profession, detail the survey results, and suggest personal approaches and workplace initiatives to combat the phenomenon.

Becoming A Learner: An Autoethnography, Joshua Dickinson

Dissertations and Theses

It is well understood that attitudes toward language learning impact outcomes. This thesis uses autoethnography to explore the author's experiences learning German, in-class and independently, examining the interplay between motivation, attitudes, and the learning environment. I analyze personal journals and notes, employing graphic storytelling to illustrate their emotional journey. This paper draws upon existing literature on second language acquisition, particularly focusing on Dörnyei's L2 Motivational Self System and Ushioda's person-in-context approach. The study reveals how personal beliefs, self-doubt, and the limitations of traditional classroom settings impacted my motivation and ultimately, how reflection facilitated a renewed commitment to learning. In conclusion, …

World Heritage Convention And Transnational Legal Process To Protect Indonesian Nature, Ary Aprianto

Padjadjaran Jurnal Ilmu Hukum (Journal of Law)

The World Heritage Convention demands its states parties to strengthen mechanisms to conserve and preserve natural and cultural heritage consistently. A party to the Convention, Indonesia faces challenges to maintain the balance of economic, social, and environment considerations, pertaining to policies that affect natural heritage. Nevertheless, Indonesia remains committed to observe the Convention’s rules, including ones on sustainability and conservation. As analyzed through transnational legal process theory, the performance of this commitment helps to internalize the Convention’s rules into domestic context. It is suggested that Indonesia step up its interaction with the Convention’s actors in the hope of expanding the …

The Implication Of The Globalization On The Pancasila-Based Principles Of Local Democracy In Indonesia, Seno Wibowo Gumbira, Jamal Wiwoho

Padjadjaran Jurnal Ilmu Hukum (Journal of Law)

Abstract

The liberalism principles have influenced the whole life aspects of the nation and the state of Indonesia. On the political aspect, the principles influence the elections in Indonesia from the lowest (village head election) to the highest (presidential election) levels. The liberal principles are not in accordance with the principles of Pancasila as the national philosophy and the source of law (staatsfundamental norm) of Indonesia. The liberal democratic principles cause high cost democracy. They create the conditions of ‘free fight’ and ‘homo homini lupus’, as well as many potential corruption practices in villages.

Penyelesaian Konflik Berbasis Desa Di Indonesia (Studi Kasus Di Desa Yosorejo, Jawa Tengah), M. Ya'kub Aiyub Kadir

Padjadjaran Jurnal Ilmu Hukum (Journal of Law)

Penyelesaian konflik berbasis desa harus menjadi acuan dalam pengembangan hukum di Indonesia yang semakin formalistik dan jauh dari rasa keadilan masyarakat. Hal ini disebabkan karena pengaruh penerapan sistem hukum warisan Belanda yang masih mendominasi. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode penelitian empiris dengan mengumpulkan data melalui studi lapangan di Desa Yosorejo, Jawa Tengah, sebagai fakta yang kemudian menjadi argumen untuk mengkritisi lajunya formalisasi hukum di Indonesia di tengah derasnya infilterasi budaya asing dan perkembangan teknologi informasi. Keberhasilan masyarakat Desa Yosorejo dalam meredam dan meminimalisasi konflik diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan bagi pemerintah Indonesia untuk menganalisa kembali sistem hukum yang didasarkan kepada kearifan lokal …

Paradigmatic Reverse In The Legal Policy Of The Notion Of Deliberative Democracy From People's Consultative Assembly (Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat) To Village (A Preliminary Study), Inna Junaenah

Padjadjaran Jurnal Ilmu Hukum (Journal of Law)

Abstract

This article aims to assert that some regulatory mechanisms, such as the appointment of members of and the voting for decision in both Indonesia Peoples Deliberative Assembly (MPR) and village flows in a formalizing pattern from the top governmental body of the central, to the regional, and to the ends at the boom level, the village. This also applies the procedural aspects of the democratic system where the organizational body is made as formal, uniform, and permanent in structure (despite the periods). This somehow seems contradictory with the noon of deliberative democracy (demorasi permusyawaratan) once upheld by the founding …

Teacher And Student Roles In Freire’S Critical Pedagogy: A Qualitative Case Study, Joan Nkansaa Nkansah

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Research has indicated that many teachers and students lack the critical classroom experience where they play the roles of subjects controlling the educational process and developing knowledge together. With an emphasis on teaching instead of learning, classroom interactions are limited, and creativity and the cultivation of critical thinking skills and critical consciousness are restricted. This qualitative case study explored the instructional delivery methods in a Ghanaian university through the lens of teacher and student roles, a concept of Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy. The study purposefully selected 11 participants (eight students, two teachers, and one administrative staff) who provided substantial data …
