Examining Diversity Messaging Practices Of Division I Athletic College Sports Communicators, David Cassilo Dec 2025

Examining Diversity Messaging Practices Of Division I Athletic College Sports Communicators, David Cassilo

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

In recent years, college athletic communication departments have been tasked with more messaging related to race and diversity. This research used semi-structured interviews to understand the message creation practices of Division I athletic communication departments when generating diversity and social justice messaging. The research was examined within the context of the theory of racialized organizations. Interviews were conducted with 11 athletic communication staff members at Division I universities. Five themes were constructed related to diversity and social justice messaging of athletic communication departments at Division I universities. These are (a) a White world, (b) need to represent collegiate athletes, (c) …

Slbms Vs Asw: The Race For Deterrence, Theodore M. Rosen Dec 2025

Slbms Vs Asw: The Race For Deterrence, Theodore M. Rosen

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

This paper aims to determine the balance between submarine launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) in the modern day and evaluates how this balance informs the current offense and defense balance in international relations. This paper aims to determine whether SLBMs are still the great stabilizer that they have been historically described as, and if it is their efficacy that matters or merely their perception. This paper will evaluate the progression of SLBM and ASW technology over the past couple decades and where these technologies stand in relation to one another today. This exploration is grounded in two …


Trump, The Authoritarian Influencer: Brics, The Rise Of The Right, And The Fall Of Multilateralism, Sophia Usmani Dec 2025

Trump, The Authoritarian Influencer: Brics, The Rise Of The Right, And The Fall Of Multilateralism, Sophia Usmani

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

This paper argues that the Trump administration has been the source of an increase in far-right political regimes and ideologies in the BRICS coalition while also emphasizing the United States’ hegemonic power in the modern liberal world order, harming the goal of multilateralism that is held by the BRICS coalition. Beginning with a literature review, the existing analyses are applied to this argument and organized to specify issues with the far-right and multilateralism that appear with each BRICS country. Counterarguments and potential issues with this argument are both brought up and challenged. Following this, a section on critique and analysis …


Trump Vs. The Fourteenth Amendment, Rye Maccurtain Dec 2025

Trump Vs. The Fourteenth Amendment, Rye Maccurtain

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

This paper argues that President Trump’s 2025 executive order to end birthright citizenship represents a major break from constitutional tradition and a clear turn toward far-right ideology. The order challenges the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on United States soil and has been upheld for more than a century, including in the Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Although some conservatives may frame the action as a routine effort to strengthen immigration policy, the order moves beyond traditional conservatism. It departs from the rule of law, rejects long-standing legal precedent, and promotes an exclusionary …


Why Democracy Hasn’T “Ghanaway”: On The Persistence Of Ghanaian Democracy, Miles Kaufman Dec 2025

Why Democracy Hasn’T “Ghanaway”: On The Persistence Of Ghanaian Democracy, Miles Kaufman

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

In this paper, I will be arguing that the unusual development and persistence of democracy in Ghana, while unambiguously influenced by a number of variables, is predominantly the result of Ghanaian contributions to UN peacekeeping missions since the 1970s. After establishing that the persistence of democracy in Ghana is in fact puzzling by contrast to regional trends, I provide definitions and conduct a brief statistical analysis to assert and visualize Ghana’s status as a regional democratic outlier. I then weigh alternative scholarly explanations for Ghanaian democratization, and finally provide a comprehensive empirical analysis of Ghanaian military depoliticization due to UN …


Spirituality Activism And Identity As A Site Of Transformation Based On Gloria Anzaldùa’S Vision Of Resistance, Maria Torres Rey Dec 2025

Spirituality Activism And Identity As A Site Of Transformation Based On Gloria Anzaldùa’S Vision Of Resistance, Maria Torres Rey

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

This paper examines Gloria Anzaldùa’s conceptualization of identity as a dynamic site of resistance and healing within Chicana feminist thought. Through frameworks such as mestiza consciousness, Nepantla and spiritual activism, Anzaldùa challenges Western dualisms and reimagines identity as a fluid and political space shaped by personal and collective experience. Her theories provide a powerful lens for understanding the intersections of race, gender, sexuality and spirituality. This paper also argues that her emphasis on inner transformation risks under-engaging material structures such as capitalism, state violence and environmental degradation. By situating Anzaldùa alongside key Chicana feminist scholars, the paper highlights both the …


Patenting Health: How Intellectual Property Rights Jeopardise Medical Research, Lorenz N. Soukup Dec 2025

Patenting Health: How Intellectual Property Rights Jeopardise Medical Research, Lorenz N. Soukup

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

Recent health crises have taught us that proper resource allocation is an important tool in the fight against e.g., pandemics and endemics. This concerns medical care on the one side, but also medical research as a precursor and catalyst for successful implementation of interventions, on the other side. James R. Brown argues that the most effective way to make use of medical research is to make the funding a public affair, removing private stakeholders from the equation. Concretely, he proposes to remove intellectual property rights in medicine as a whole. This paper evaluates his thesis.


Rethinking Coercion: Moving Beyond Moralized Accounts Of Coercion, Lorenz N. Soukup Dec 2025

Rethinking Coercion: Moving Beyond Moralized Accounts Of Coercion, Lorenz N. Soukup

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

Coercion is often portrayed as a vile act, which is inherently immoral. Typical examples include blackmail or receiving an offer at gunpoint. Most contemporary theories centre around this characteristic immorality of coercion. In the following paper I will argue that coercion need not involve an immoral act. I will look at two distinctly different theories of coercion. On the one hand, a moralised account proposed by Jennifer Lackey and on the other hand, an account refraining from moralising coercion brought forward by Scott Anderson. The aim of this paper is not to define coercion but to motivate a shift in …


Recurring Patterns In Democratic Backsliding: The United States, Hungary, And Israel, Leah Brouda Dec 2025

Recurring Patterns In Democratic Backsliding: The United States, Hungary, And Israel, Leah Brouda

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

Utilizing a three-pronged analysis method, this article argues that not only is democratic backsliding – the degrading quality of democratic institutions in a state – on the rise but that it has frequent recurring themes. These themes are consolidation of executive authority, changes in court power and judicial independence, and election manipulation. Utilizing a combination of public opinion research and indexes such as Freedom House and the Global State of Democracy Index (GSDI), these themes emerge as patterns that are both understood and misconstrued by citizens in each country and of the world. The analysis is based on themes in …

Combating Human Rights Abuses In The Democratic Republic Of Congo, Karan Kuppa-Apte Dec 2025

Combating Human Rights Abuses In The Democratic Republic Of Congo, Karan Kuppa-Apte

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

This article focuses on human rights abuses stemming from the mining industry of the Democratic Republic of Congo, particularly in the country's eastern region. It argues that the United States (US), European Union (EU), and China should strive to uphold human rights in DRC because of their significant global presence and involvement in the country's mining industry. It begins with an overview of the conflict, including its historical origins, relevant actors, and current status quo. It continues by describing two unsuccessful strategies that have been tried to protect human rights. It concludes with a recommendation to the US, EU, and …


Conflating Disease, Morality, And Sex: Regulating Military Fitness In The War Years, Hanna Ranis Dec 2025

Conflating Disease, Morality, And Sex: Regulating Military Fitness In The War Years, Hanna Ranis

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

The United States military worried about the impact of venereal diseases on the ability of soldiers to fight in both World War 1 and 2. The war years thus resulted in an increase in regulations that sought to curb the spread of venereal diseases. Much of this regulatory shift has focused on how police targeted women who were suspected of spreading venereal diseases to American soldiers. Women were profiled as promiscuous and possible sex workers, with the lines between the two categories becoming increasingly blurred. Policing was viewed as a public health regulatory mechanism that needed to be carried out …

Incorrect Administration Of The Rabies Vaccine Leading To An Unusual Case Of Acute Bursitis And Tendonitis Of The Rotator Cuff, Chelsea Lee, Jina Nmn Park, Alberto Giardini Dec 2025

Incorrect Administration Of The Rabies Vaccine Leading To An Unusual Case Of Acute Bursitis And Tendonitis Of The Rotator Cuff, Chelsea Lee, Jina Nmn Park, Alberto Giardini

The Journal of Integrated Primary Care

Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) is an uncommon but increasingly recognized complication resulting from improper intramuscular injection technique. SIRVA occurs when a vaccine is administered too high or too deep into the deltoid muscle, leading to inflammation of the shoulder structures such as the rotator cuff and subacromial bursa. While most reported cases involve influenza and pneumococcal vaccines, SIRVA following rabies vaccination is rare. This case highlights a 46-year-old female who developed acute rotator cuff tendinitis and bursitis after a malplaced rabies vaccine injection. Early recognition and intervention, including corticosteroid injection and physical therapy, led to significant symptom …


Integrating Peer Specialists In Primary Care: Narrative Review With Illustrative Examples, And Pragmatic Recommendations To Support Implementation, Emily M. Johnson, Christina Shook, Kimberly Barrie, Kyle Possemato Dec 2025

Integrating Peer Specialists In Primary Care: Narrative Review With Illustrative Examples, And Pragmatic Recommendations To Support Implementation, Emily M. Johnson, Christina Shook, Kimberly Barrie, Kyle Possemato

The Journal of Integrated Primary Care

Behavioral health peer support specialists, peers, are health care system employees with lived experience of mental health or substance use concerns who are trained and hired to support others with behavioral health concerns in behavioral health clinics and medical settings. Peer-delivered services have a long history and research consistently demonstrates evidence of varied benefits for a wide range of patients. Peers are increasingly being hired to work within primary care settings to support the needs of primary care patients with behavioral health concerns and enhance the interdisciplinary nature of integrated primary care teams. However, integration of peers into this new …
