Do Firms Have Preferences In Hiring By Gender? Evidence From Kenya, Richard Agesa

Journal of African Policy Studies

While issues of employment segregation by gender have been extensively studied in developed countries of the West, few such studies have been conducted in the developing economies of Africa. This paper fills this gap by examining gender imbalances in hiring decisions by firms in non identical industries using the most recent data from Kenya. The findings suggest that women are more likely to find employment in agricultural based industries and in industries with tasks that require human contact. In contrast, men tend to be hired in industries that not only perform physically demanding tasks, but also require continued work experience.

How Much Touch Can The Paper Withstand?, Aldrin Regina Valdez

Theses and Dissertations

Between embodiment and disembodiment, Aldrin Regina Valdez’s works on paper map histories of care, violence, and mourning, both personal and collective. They ask: how much touch can the paper withstand?

Indeed, In A Way, It's Worse., Jani C. Zubkovs

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis investigates walking as both method and metaphor within an artistic practice grounded in photography. Through walking, I engage in a sustained act of seeing — one that resists the speed and consumption-driven logic of late capitalism and opens space for reflection, slowness, and heightened perception. My photographic work focuses on fragments of the built environment, particularly advertisements, signage, and residual human marks, reframing them through strategies of cropping, isolation, and recontextualization. These images question the distinction between original and reproduction, presence and absence, surface and depth. Drawing on thinkers such as Jonathan Crary, Luigi Ghirri, Siegfried Kracauer, and …

Paintings And Paintings, Anna T. Gregor

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis argues for a renewed distinction between mere paintings and capital-P Paintings, contending that meaning arises through sustained, reciprocal engagement between viewer and artwork. Amid "postmodern" disorientation, it proposes a reorientation toward individual works as sites of immanent logic and shared perception, rather than relying on external narratives or historical clichés.

The Function Of Art, Magdalen O. M. Pickering

Theses and Dissertations

With the help of machines and the powers of perception, Magdalen Pickering introduces logic to strange and fantastical subjects. The Function of Art explores a hybrid of techniques in painting, screenprinting, and computer generated imagery as Magdalen attempts to use generative printing to obscure art historical consciousness. The installation crosses into virtual reality; reframing textiles, landscapes, and the gallery space through a metaphysical lens.

E Is For Ephemera, E Rady

Theses and Dissertations

Here, performances are treated as zones in which simulated scenarios sometimes offer various potential opportunities to resolve.
