Zines, Platform, And Refuge: Media And Mediation For Queer Identities, Kate Theerman Rodriguez
Zines, Platform, And Refuge: Media And Mediation For Queer Identities, Kate Theerman Rodriguez
Dean James E. McLeod Freshman Writing Prize
In light of the 29% decrease in LGBTQ+ representation on television as reported by GLAAD for the 2022-2023 season, this paper explores the role that varying forms of media play in the identity formation and mediation of queer and marginalized individuals. The author does so by positioning Fanzines, or ‘zines’, from the punk-rock movement and the production of digital content within a feedback loop of identity mediation. The loop comprises the stages of Representation, Consumption, Position and Projection, and Production. By combining personal narrative with theoretical analysis, the author explores how media serves as a vital space for marginalized communities …

Machine Learning Approaches For Cyberbullying Detection, Roland Fiagbe
Machine Learning Approaches For Cyberbullying Detection, Roland Fiagbe
Data Science and Data Mining
Cyberbullying refers to the act of bullying using electronic means and the internet. In recent years, this act has been identifed to be a major problem among young people and even adults. It can negatively impact one’s emotions and lead to adverse outcomes like depression, anxiety, harassment, and suicide, among others. This has led to the need to employ machine learning techniques to automatically detect cyberbullying and prevent them on various social media platforms. In this study, we want to analyze the combination of some Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms (such as Bag-of-Words and TFIDF) with some popular machine learning …
Students’ Perceptions Of Internationalization Of The Curriculum
Students’ Perceptions Of Internationalization Of The Curriculum
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
This paper explores students’ perceptions of internationalizing the Principles of Macroeconomics curriculum. The study presents survey results showing that most students find the inclusion of global perspectives enhances their learning and engagement. International students, in particular, value understanding international contexts for their future careers. Many students also found international examples interesting and helpful in developing global skills. The findings suggest a strong student preference for globally enriched content and highlight the importance of integrating international perspectives into economics education. The study emphasizes the need for institutions to adopt a more intentional approach to internationalizing curricula across disciplines and informs future …
On The External Validation Of An Undergraduate Finance Program’S Assurance Of Learning
On The External Validation Of An Undergraduate Finance Program’S Assurance Of Learning
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
This study examines the assurance of learning in a finance program by analyzing the factors influencing students’ CFA Level 1 exam (CFA-L1) scores. Results show that (1) performance in CFA-L1 is explained by factors similar to those identified in studies on normalized standard examinations; (2) knowledge retention from non-Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK)-aligned courses is almost non-existent. The author suggests that replacing core courses with CBOK-aligned courses is the most effective way to “close the loop.” The author notes that internal validation tools (e.g., course assessments) are not useful due to systemic grade inflation and the culture of favoring soft …
Starting With Substance: An Economics Icebreaker For The First Day Of Class
Starting With Substance: An Economics Icebreaker For The First Day Of Class
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
This paper presents an economics-focused icebreaker activity designed for the first day of class in microeconomics or macroeconomics courses. The activity engages students in a hands-on exercise illustrating key economic concepts such as incentives, equilibrium, and emergence. By lining up according to height without verbal communication, students experience how individual actions and simple rules can lead to an organized outcome, demonstrating the Austrian economics idea of spontaneous order in markets. This activity energizes the classroom and lays the foundation for a deeper exploration of economic principles.
Effects Of Intermediate Finance Course Timing On Performance
Effects Of Intermediate Finance Course Timing On Performance
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
We study the effect of course timing and sequencing on performance of students taking intermediate corporate finance at a certain university. Controlling for student attributes, grades in intermediate and post principles overall were better if students had completed 1) investments and 2) financial markets and institutions, while the delay between completion of principles and intermediate was associated with reduced performance. The former effect appears to dominate. The relations tend to be stronger for students who entered the university as transfer students and for other specific populations. The population-specific results support a role for advising tailored to specific student characteristics and …
Extreme Ungrading: Rewilding The Classroom Through Human-Centered Design, Johanna Brewer
Extreme Ungrading: Rewilding The Classroom Through Human-Centered Design, Johanna Brewer
Computer Science: Faculty Publications
Assessment in computer science education has grown reliant on rigid rubrics and intensive exams, a practice that yields capable yet compliant coders. In this article, I explore how we might use human-centered design to reexamine contemporary pedagogy and redesign our classrooms to cultivate a different type of programmer, one with a more critically engaged eye. Inspired by the ethos of agile development, I offer an alternative evaluation paradigm: Extreme Ungrading. Exploring results of a two-year case study applying this method to a software engineering class, this article distills actionable guidelines for enhancing learning outcomes through inclusive course development, and seeks …
Impact Of Traditional Education And Learner-Centered Education On Standardized Tests, Courtney Marie Winslow
Impact Of Traditional Education And Learner-Centered Education On Standardized Tests, Courtney Marie Winslow
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
There is a current shortage of approximately 45,000 nurses and nursing faculty to train student nurses, a number that is projected to grow. One proposed method to combat the shortage is to transition from traditional lecture-based classrooms to a learner-centered approach. Asking or requiring faculty to transition an entire nursing program from one teaching method to another without supporting data could be a waste of valuable time and resources. It could also prove detrimental to a program if students were unable to pass the NCLEX-RN exam, and a program was forced to close. The current study examined whether there was …
Conversational Localization: Indoor Human Localization Through Intelligent Conversation, Sheshadri Smitha, Kotaro Hara
Conversational Localization: Indoor Human Localization Through Intelligent Conversation, Sheshadri Smitha, Kotaro Hara
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We propose a novel sensorless approach to indoor localization by leveraging natural language conversations with users, which we call conversational localization. To show the feasibility of conversational localization, we develop a proof-of-concept system that guides users to describe their surroundings in a chat and estimates their position based on the information they provide. We devised a modular architecture for our system with four modules. First, we construct an entity database with available image-based floor maps. Second, we enable the dynamic identification and scoring of information provided by users through our utterance processing module. Then, we implement a conversational agent that …
Common Ownership And Analyst Forecasts, Qiang Cheng, Shuqing Luo, Jinping Zhang
Common Ownership And Analyst Forecasts, Qiang Cheng, Shuqing Luo, Jinping Zhang
Research Collection School Of Accountancy
We examine the effect of the common ownership relation between brokerage houses and the firms covered by their analysts (referred to as co-owned brokerage houses, co-owned firms, and connected analysts, respectively) on analyst forecast performance. Common ownership can help the connected analysts have better access to co-owned firms, leading to higher-quality analyst research. However, common owners have incentives for higher valuation of the co-owned firms and thus can exert pressure on the connected analysts to issue optimistically biased research reports for these firms. We find that common ownership improves analyst forecast accuracy. This result is robust to a difference-in-differences design …
Differentiation Versus Denial: Impact Of Messaging About Player Transactions On Team Reputation, Ticket Sales, And Sports Channel Subscriptions, Joseph R. Blaney, Stephen K. Hunt
Differentiation Versus Denial: Impact Of Messaging About Player Transactions On Team Reputation, Ticket Sales, And Sports Channel Subscriptions, Joseph R. Blaney, Stephen K. Hunt
Faculty Publications - Communications
Part of a concerted effort to quantitatively test claims made throughout image repair research, this study provides a greater understanding of the effectiveness of the differentiation strategy over simple denial and provides further clarification for related claims made in image repair research. Sports teams who differentiate major roster changes from a team rebuild score higher on measures of reputation, intent to purchase tickets, and intent to subscribe to premium sports channels. On behalf of practitioners, scholars should consider the conditions under which the ability to claim differentiation is plausible with a loyal clientele or customer base.
Prophetic Dissent In Dark Times: The New Poor People’S Campaign And The Rhetoric Of National Redemption, Stephen E. Rahko, Byron B. Craig
Prophetic Dissent In Dark Times: The New Poor People’S Campaign And The Rhetoric Of National Redemption, Stephen E. Rahko, Byron B. Craig
Faculty Publications - Communications
In this paper, we offer an analysis of an important social movement challenging the fantasy of Christian nationalism: the new Poor People’s Campaign, and specifically the rhetoric of the Bishop Dr. William J. Barber II. We argue that Barber’s rhetoric represents a source of dissent against Christian nationalism through his strategic use of the jeremiad. Barber’s progressive jeremiad offers a distinctively moral narrative that recovers the radical Christian legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Ultimately, we argue that Barber’s jeremiad advances a distinctive narrative of American national redemption through democratic renewal and reconstruction.
We’Re Going Streaking!: Associations Between The Gamification Of Mediated Communication And Relational Closeness, Caleb T. Carr, Sarah F. Rosaen
We’Re Going Streaking!: Associations Between The Gamification Of Mediated Communication And Relational Closeness, Caleb T. Carr, Sarah F. Rosaen
Faculty Publications - Communications
Communication technologies have long been used to develop and maintain relationships; but recently, channels have increasingly sought to gamify interactions among users. The present study explored if individuals’ interpersonal and entertainment use motives were associated with interpersonal interactions and message composition, as well as subsequent relational outcomes (i.e., closeness). A survey of 156 collegiate Snapchat users revealed that interpersonal and entertainment motives were significantly related to Snapchat behavior (Streak count and Streak Snaps, respectively) and relational closeness. However, those using Streaks for entertainment motives sent impersonal Snaps more frequently and reported lower relational closeness with their partner.
Proximal Discourses In Residential Facility Care Providers’ Sense-Making Of Their Communication With Family Members Of A Loved One With Alzheimer’S Disease, Aimee E. Miller-Ott, Tristin Evans
Proximal Discourses In Residential Facility Care Providers’ Sense-Making Of Their Communication With Family Members Of A Loved One With Alzheimer’S Disease, Aimee E. Miller-Ott, Tristin Evans
Faculty Publications - Communications
Families often stay involved in the care of a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease even after relocation to a residential care facility, and through this transition, communication between the residential care providers and families becomes integral to keeping family informed and providing good care to the patient. However, care providers of people with Alzheimer’s living in residential facilities find themselves overwhelmed by expectations related to their caregiving role and struggle with making sense of their experiences. Fifteen care providers of people with Alzheimer’s disease living in a residential facility participated in qualitative, semi-structured interviews. Using relational dialectics theory as the …
Remembering Redlining: Trauma, Anti-Blackness, And Afro-Pessimistic Affect In Them, Byron B. Craig, Stephen E. Rahko
Remembering Redlining: Trauma, Anti-Blackness, And Afro-Pessimistic Affect In Them, Byron B. Craig, Stephen E. Rahko
Faculty Publications - Communications
Scholars of public memory have long recognized the importance of popular culture as a site in America’s memory infrastructure. In this paper we seek to contribute to this bourgeoning scholarship by advancing an analysis of the way the Amazon Prime series Them strategically remembers the traumatic violence of America’s racial past. Through its skillful use of allegory and the Black horror genre, Them offers an Afro-pessimistic rebuke of America’s post-racial fantasy. Ultimately, we argue that popular culture remains a crucial site for the politics of memory, especially given the growing threat of censorship of America’s racial history in education as …

Words, Words, Words: Participants Do Not Read Consent Forms In Communication Research, Daria Parfenova, Alina Niftulaeva, Caleb T. Carr
Faculty Publications - Communications
Informed consent is an essential part of conducting human subjects research; but its utility is dependent on participants actually reading the consent forms provided. This research conducted secondary analysis of data (N = 1,283) to assess how long participants spent on the consent forms. Participants spent an average of 35.4 seconds on consent documents: not a nonsignficant amount of time (i.e., different from 0 seconds), but insufficient to read or even skim consent forms. Women spent slightly less time on consent forms. Neither the length nor readability of a consent form predicted time spent reading, and neither readability nor gender …

Technology Affordances And Curriculum Flexibility In Higher Education Blended Learning, Clement Chimezie Aladi
Technology Affordances And Curriculum Flexibility In Higher Education Blended Learning, Clement Chimezie Aladi
CGU Theses & Dissertations
This dissertation explores technological affordances in blended learning, their influence on the flexibility of statistics and data science curricula, and students' satisfaction with learning. While blended learning is often perceived as a flexible learning approach, its correlation with flexibility lacks substantial evidence in existing literature. This study contends that technological affordances significantly impact curriculum flexibility in blended learning, an aspect currently underrepresented in blended learning educational literature. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Technology Affordance and Constraint Theory (TACT) and Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK), this research investigated six hypotheses to elucidate how technological affordances and the teacher's technology …
An Investigation Into The Factors Determining Digital Transformation’S Success In Government Sectors, Nemer Alsulami
An Investigation Into The Factors Determining Digital Transformation’S Success In Government Sectors, Nemer Alsulami
CGU Theses & Dissertations
This dissertation explores key factors for digital transformation (DT) success in government sectors, emphasizing the strategic alignment between IT and business strategies. This focus is driven by the high failure rate of DT initiatives, often resulting from misalignment and the delayed recognition of IT's strategic importance by non-IT leaders. The study aims to investigate the interplay between strategic alignment and the socio-technical system in DT, examining how this alignment influences DT success and investigating the mechanism through which strategic alignment is effectively executed. Further, the research assesses the impact of managerial efforts as a precursor to strategic alignment. Additionally, it …

The purpose of this narrative research study was to explore the experiences, facilitators, and barriers of 20 women of color high-level educational leaders, including district superintendents and assistant/associate superintendents in California. Framed by the concepts of the Leadership Labyrinth, Critical Race Theory, and Intersectionality Theory, this study aimed to elevate the voices of a marginalized group of educators who earned high-level leadership positions in public educational organizations. This study shed light on the experiences, trajectories, …
Mentoring Latinas On Doctoral Journeys: Testimonios Of Cultural And Gender Identity, Jacqueline Rangel
Mentoring Latinas On Doctoral Journeys: Testimonios Of Cultural And Gender Identity, Jacqueline Rangel
CGU Theses & Dissertations
In the United States, Latinas are underrepresented in obtaining PhDs that lead to high level professional careers and academia. This may be due, in part, to patriarchal academic institutions and approaches that have historically devalued the cultural experiences and identities of marginalized populations, including Latinas in higher education. However, research suggests that mentorship can support Latinas in successfully obtaining PhDs and disrupt institutional norms and practices. Framed by LatCrit, Mestiza Consciousness, and Mujerista Mentoring, this study sheds light on the experiences of twenty-four Latinas who earned PhDs-with or without mentors during their doctoral journeys. As such, the purpose of this …
