Rethinking Climate Change Education: Wyoming And New Jersey As Effective Models Of Climate Change In Education Standards, Jamie W. Miller

Pitzer Senior Theses

Education is an essential and oft-overlooked part of the conversation about climate change. As I’ll demonstrate in this thesis, education shapes how the public understands climate change and creates environmental knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and intentions. Exploring and understanding climate change education allows us to understand how people form perspectives about climate issues. This topic is extremely important, but one we often gloss over when thinking about climate solutions. I analyzed three case studies of educational standards in the United States to understand how political context, writing focuses, and benchmarks impact the efficacy of climate change standards. My research found that …

Response Cost Token Economies Effectiveness On Increasing Responsiveness To Directions In Early Intervention Aba, Madison Polaski

Masters Essays

The present case study analyzes the effectiveness of response cost token economies used in early intervention applied behavior analysis services in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Using a response cost, the researcher looked to decrease challenging behaviors consisting of physical aggressions towards peers and adults, while increasing responsiveness to instructions or demands given to the participant. Data from the baseline phase and intervention phase was compared to test whether the intervention was successful.

Twenty-First Century Data Systems: Evolving Cancer Registries To A Learning Health System, Peter P. Yu, W. Scott Campbell, Eric B. Durbin, Lawrence N. Shulman, Jeremy L. Warner

Markey Cancer Center Faculty Publications

Introduction: Oncology is a data-rich environment reflecting the increasing incidence of cancer in the US aging population, transformation of cancer into a chronic disease due to advances in treatment, and the emergence of new data categories such as genomics. Concomitantly, healthcare systems are challenged to meet regulatory and voluntary reporting of cancer data to support government, quality certification, research and strategic partnership needs.

Materials and Methods: The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine organized a workshop entitled “Enabling 21st-century applications for cancer surveillance through enhanced registries and beyond” with representation from NCI Comprehensive Cancer Centers, oncology and medical informatics …

Compassionate Care In The Library Workplace, Shannon D. Jones

MUSC Faculty Bookshelf

This chapter explores the role of compassionate care as a critical leadership practice in the library workplace, with a particular focus on academic health sciences libraries. Drawing on the author’s lived experience as a Black woman library leader and on over two decades in the profession, the chapter situates compassionate care at the intersection of compassionate and inclusive leadership and organizational well-being. In the context of ongoing collective trauma, including the COVID-19 pandemic, racial violence, political polarization, and sustained attacks on libraries, the chapter argues that compassion must move beyond empathy to intentional, actionable leadership. It examines how social identities, …

Policy Recommendations And Ways Forward, Rachel Locke, Jocelyn Getgen Kestenbaum

Book Chapters

This chapter discusses how the transformative ideas presented by the contributors can be applied in concrete and meaningful ways to policy, practice, and research. The chapter begins with a discussion of principles that were both crucial to the articulation of the recommendations and are similarly crucial to any proposal to address identity-based mass violence. The human-centered values of this volume demand a focus not only on outcomes but also on process, as these principles attest. The chapter then focuses on practical areas of action, from capacity building to funding to shifting narratives, and more. This chapter shifts from prescriptive policy …

Expanding Access To Urban Nature: Floating Gardens As Equitable And Inclusive Blue-Green Infrastructure In The Chicago River, Michael Hendricks, Alec Foster, Noha Shawki, Mariela Fernandez, Sage Rossman, Sierra Mack-Erb, Eric Peterson

Faculty Publications – Politics and Government

This study examines the social dimensions of Urban Rivers’ Free Kayak Days at the Bubbly Creek Floating Gardens in Chicago, Illinois. Floating gardens are a form of blue-green infrastructure that provide ecological benefits, including nutrient removal, habitat creation, and shoreline stabilization, while also offering recreational and educational opportunities. Guided by environmental justice scholarship, our interdisciplinary team conducted participant observation to evaluate whether Urban Rivers’ Freek Kayak Days effectively engaged residents from surrounding marginalized communities. Four themes emerged: (1) access and inclusion, highlighting reduced financial barriers but ongoing challenges related to safety perceptions, cultural relevance, and physical accessibility; (2) community engagement …

Ai Is Coming For Your Mind: A Case For Consumer Protection, Blithe Ellis

Gateway Reader- Individual Papers

The Effects Of Unilateral Resistance Training In Resistance Trained Women, Jeremiah Amande.' Miller

Master of Science in Kinesiology

Background: Muscle hypertrophy is defined as the increase in size, thickness, and girth of human skeletal muscle and is mostly induced by resistance training (RT). A large body of assessment literature suggests that there are many training methods that can induce muscle hypertrophy, underscoring the importance of training specificity. Training to muscular failure vs non-failure remains a heavily debated topic in the literature and fitness industry, showing mixed results in the published literature. Additionally, there is a lack of literature examining muscle hypertrophy in resistance-trained women using a unilateral approach. Purpose: This paper responds to these challenges by examining failure …

Beyond Algorithm Aversion: How Explanation Quality Enables Fairness And Trust In Ai-Based Performance Evaluations, Darren Mcgraw

Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)

Performance evaluation systems increasingly incorporate artificial intelligence, yet employee acceptance remains limited. This experimental study examined how explanation quality and evaluator type influenced fairness perceptions and trust in AI-based performance evaluations among 275 U.S. working adults. Using a 2 × 2 vignette design, results demonstrated that explanation quality produced large effects on perceived fairness (d = 1.79) and trust, while evaluator type—human versus AI—had negligible independent effects (d = −0.08) when explanations were high quality. Fairness mediated the explanation-trust relationship (indirect effect = 1.95, 95% CI [1.65, 2.26]), with inconsistent mediation indicated by a negative direct effect (b = −0.81, …

Beyond Likes And Reposts: Social Media's Role In Warfare, Britney Arteaga

St. Thomas Law Review

Social media has become a double-edged sword in our current digital era, bringing both serious advantages and disadvantages to the forefront of domestic and international discussions. Social media has become a weapon in political, cultural, and even military conflicts due to the spread of unregulated content, despite it enabling people to interact, share information, and voice their opinions. Social media has facilitated the spread of hate speech, propaganda, and false information, which in turn distorts realities and shapes narratives and opinions. Social media's effect on both a domestic and global scale have been catastrophic, ranging from promoting violence to further …

Platforms, Power, And The Public Square: The Debate On Editorial Rights In The Age Of Social Media, Donovan Smith

St. Thomas Law Review

Social media has taken a hold on society and continues to tighten its grip; its influence is undeniable. Today, billions of people all over the world use social media for news, weather updates, communication, commerce, and self-expression every day. With the increasing dependence on social media, it is essential that the civil liberties and fundamental rights of social media users remain protected. Over the last decade, censorship of users and content on social media has become a key political talking point, especially when coupled with concurring events like elections and global pandemics. But is any of this censorship even allowed? …

The Moral Complacency Of Federal Indian Law, Daniel B. Rice

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

For all its association with historical tragedy, federal Indian law remains thoroughly amoral. The field draws little distinction between horrific and laudable traditions. In sharp contrast with the Court's equality doctrines, Indian law continues to rest on explicit structural subordination. Its core precepts treat acts of historical treachery and cultural annihilation as legally generative in the present. This Article identifies Indian law's moral vacuity as an unexplained and unjustified aberration. It urges the Court to speak and theorize about Indian law in a register befitting the subject's moral gravity.

In recent years, Justice Gorsuch has shown that Indian law's moral …

"The Battle Will Not Be Over": 60 Years Of The Voting Rights Act, Annmarie Foy

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

Together, the panels at the Minnesota Law Review’s Vol.110 Symposium highlighted a pivotal moment in the trajectory of voting rights in the United States. As the Supreme Court undermines key provisions of the Federal VRA, and the executive branch exerts its might on restrictive measures, scholars and practitioners alike grapple with the implications for voting rights, election law, and democracy writ large. The Articles and Essays in this Issue document this volatile transformation in the law and offer a call to action to safeguard voting rights in the United States—through the Federal VRA, the Federal Constitution, State VRAs, and state …

Article Iii And The Recess-Appointed Judge, Alexander Gouzoules

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

Roughly three hundred Article III judges have decided cases without life tenure, serving under short-term commissions issued through the Recess Appointments Clause. And yet the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on non-Article III adjudication holds that the Constitution strictly forbids judges without life tenure from exercising the judicial power of the United States.

This Article explores the tension between the nation’s long history of temporary federal judges commissioned through the President’s recess appointment power and the Court’s formalist approach to adjudication by bankruptcy judges, administrative agencies, and other tribunals without lifetime appointments. It uncovers unexamined evidence that early American presidents and judges …

Is Multiracial Democracy Constitutional? Some Reflections From The Eye Of The Storm, Wilfred U. Codrington Iii

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

By summer 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court will have finally decided Louisiana v. Callais, which asks whether the state’s intentional creation of a second majority-minority congressional district as a remedy for racial vote dilution violates the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendment. In plainer language, the impending judgment in the case twice argued before the Court will determine the constitutionality of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA)—and with it, the future of legal doctrine governing the use of race in redistricting. Yet that is not the only issue that the case presents nor, crucially, the most important. This Article …

The Poly Problem In Zoning: Redefining "Family" For A Changing Society, Aric Short, Tanya Pierce

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

Single-family zoning has long dictated not only where people may live but also with whom. Although extensively critiqued for perpetuating racial and economic exclusion, these laws also privilege relationships defined by blood, marriage, or adoption and marginalize nontraditional families. This Article focuses on a particularly overlooked group: polyamorous families who often face legal uncertainty, social exclusion, and housing discrimination due to restrictive zoning definitions of “family.”

As polyamory gains cultural visibility and increasing legal recognition—through West 49th Street, LLC v. O’Neill and municipal reforms in cities like Somerville and Cambridge—now is the time to examine zoning's role in reinforcing outdated …

Neuroaesthetic Frequency Tuning For Neurodivergent Populations: A Network-Informed Theory Of Music For Emotional Memory And Cognitive Regulation, Piper Hutson, James Hutson

Faculty Scholarship

Neuroaesthetic frequency tuning posits that deliberate selection of musical parameters can modulate large-scale neural systems to support emotional memory retrieval and cognitive regulation in neurodivergent populations. Drawing on contemporary evidence from network neuroscience, cognitive musicology, and affective science, the article synthesizes how rhythmic, harmonic, and lyrical structures align with Default Mode (DM), fronto-parietal control, salience, motor, and limbic systems, and how these alignments can be targeted to balance internally oriented mentation with task engagement. The theory further integrates autonomic and cellular mechanisms, describing how tempo and spectral energy shift arousal and heart rate variability, and how astrocytic ensembles contribute to …
