Reclaiming Morality: Marxism, Ideology, And The Ethics Of Emancipation, Karli Calo Jun 2026

Reclaiming Morality: Marxism, Ideology, And The Ethics Of Emancipation, Karli Calo

SUURJ: Seattle University Undergraduate Research Journal

This paper examines whether morality in Marxist theory is inescapably ideological—merely an expression of bourgeois class interests—or whether it can serve as a material force for liberation. I argue that although Marx lacks explicit moral theorizing, his critique of capitalism nonetheless relies on a coherent implicit moral framework. This framework can be identified through Marx’s analyses of alienation, exploitation, and class domination, each of which presupposes normative commitments to human dignity, social agency, and collective self-determination. Marx’s critique of bourgeois morality therefore does not entail the rejection of ethics; rather, it reveals the possibility of a historically grounded, emancipatory moral …


Sulfur Nutrient Deficiencies And Elevated Carbon Dioxide Impacts On Lunularia Cruciata And Dicranum Tauricum: How Bryophytes Could Fare Under Climate Change Conditions And Their Possible Capabilities As Carbon Sequesters, Solana R. Dicus Breen Jun 2026

Sulfur Nutrient Deficiencies And Elevated Carbon Dioxide Impacts On Lunularia Cruciata And Dicranum Tauricum: How Bryophytes Could Fare Under Climate Change Conditions And Their Possible Capabilities As Carbon Sequesters, Solana R. Dicus Breen

SUURJ: Seattle University Undergraduate Research Journal

As climate change worsens, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to increase. Plants absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and should be explored as a possible method of carbon sequestration. Additionally, nutrient levels will continue to decrease in the atmosphere and soil. There is little understanding of how bryophytes will respond to climate change, especially to the combination of poor nutrient availability and elevated carbon dioxide. Using a lab experiment where bryophytes were grown in differing sulfur and carbon dioxide levels, this study assessed the impacts of sulfur nutrient starvation and elevated carbon dioxide on two bryophyte species: Dicranum tauricum and Lunularia …


Gentrification As A Consequence Of Light Rail Development In Rainier Valley, Seattle, A Policy Analysis, Jo C. Moreau Jun 2026

Gentrification As A Consequence Of Light Rail Development In Rainier Valley, Seattle, A Policy Analysis, Jo C. Moreau

SUURJ: Seattle University Undergraduate Research Journal

This policy analysis examines the gentrification and displacement impacts resulting from the development of Seattle’s Link Light Rail in the Rainier Valley, one of the city’s most diverse and historically marginalized neighborhoods. The expansion of light rail aimed to improve transit access, reduce traffic congestion, and promote environmental sustainability. However, coinciding market driven development, rising property values, and demographic shifts appear to disproportionately affect low-income and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) residents, making them more vulnerable to displacement (Padeiro et al., 2019). This report will evaluate three policy interventions to mitigate displacement: the Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA) program, …


Between The Canvas And The Colonizer: The Black Female Figure And French Orientalist Paintings, Sophia Hounton Jun 2026

Between The Canvas And The Colonizer: The Black Female Figure And French Orientalist Paintings, Sophia Hounton

SUURJ: Seattle University Undergraduate Research Journal

Black women in French Orientalist paintings have been portrayed as hypersexual, subservient, and used as props to highlight the presence of their white and Arab counterparts. These depictions of Black women represent early discriminatory ideas about Black Africans that emerged in the same era through racial science. Though partially deconstructed today, these early conceptions of Black women continue to be reinforced and impact modern perceptions of Black women in French society. There is notably much less research dedicated to the historical role of the image of Black women in France compared to research on Black men and Arab women. This …


The Child Figure In Climate Fiction: Redefining Community And Culture In The Face Of Climate Change, Allison Wasley Jun 2026

The Child Figure In Climate Fiction: Redefining Community And Culture In The Face Of Climate Change, Allison Wasley

SUURJ: Seattle University Undergraduate Research Journal

While climate change has been a known phenomenon for decades, social and cultural factors have stagnated our collective ability not only to discuss ongoing climate disasters, but also to conceptualize the disintegration of the very relationship between humanity and the natural world. This essay builds upon existing research and theory, proposing that climate fiction could serve as an antidote to our “cultural derangement,” which simultaneously destroys the relationship between humanity and nature, and our relationship with one another. This essay analyzes several examples of climate fiction that leverage the figure of the child as a symbol of hope and a …

Imaginary Companions Across Contexts: Developmental Adaptation Or Clinical Concern?, Kaeli M. Chop Jun 2026

Imaginary Companions Across Contexts: Developmental Adaptation Or Clinical Concern?, Kaeli M. Chop

SUURJ: Seattle University Undergraduate Research Journal

This literary review examines the developmental, clinical, and cultural dimensions of imaginary companions (ICs) to understand how they function across different contexts. By bringing together findings from developmental psychology and cross-cultural research, it considers how ICs shape emotional growth across the lifespan. In early childhood, ICs often reflect a child’s creative engagement with emotion, imagination, and early social growth. They provide a safe space for children to express their feelings, explore relationships, and develop emotional understanding. ICs can often serve more complex roles in response to trauma, shifting from playful imagination to coping mechanisms that offer comfort or protection when …


Creating Accessible And Equitable Mental Health Treatments: The Usefulness Of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy In Treating Racial Trauma, Aicha J. Toure Jun 2026

Creating Accessible And Equitable Mental Health Treatments: The Usefulness Of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy In Treating Racial Trauma, Aicha J. Toure

SUURJ: Seattle University Undergraduate Research Journal

Psychedelic-assisted therapy is a recently developed method for treating mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research into the effectiveness of psychedelics in treating mental health has largely excluded Black Peoples, Indigenous Peoples, and People(s) of Color (BIPOC); this is problematic, as rates of these mental health disorders are proportionally higher in BIPOC individuals than in white individuals. Mental health issues experienced by BIPOC are, more often than not, rooted in experiences of racial discrimination (Schouler-Ocak et al., 2021). Experiences of racial discrimination can develop into racial trauma, manifesting as depression, anxiety, and/or PTSD. This literature …

School-To-Prison Pipe Dream, Kadeen C. Frazier Jun 2026

School-To-Prison Pipe Dream, Kadeen C. Frazier

SUURJ: Seattle University Undergraduate Research Journal

The school-to-prison pipeline is a disturbing reality that is one of the most grotesque and ironic manifestations of systemic failure. This phrase, school-to-prison pipeline, is used to describe the national trend where children almost exclusively from marginalized communities are funneled out of public school and into the juvenile and criminal justice system. The United States public education system pushes its most vulnerable citizens, children, from an institution where they are sent to safely learn and grow, into one that is like hell on Earth, where they will be stripped of their humanity and work as slave labor in privately owned …


Queer (Re)Formations Of Mexican Identity: Modernity & Visibility As Seen In El Vampiro De La Colonia Roma, Y Tu Mamá También, And Sueño En Otro Idioma, Mar Bradley Jun 2026

Queer (Re)Formations Of Mexican Identity: Modernity & Visibility As Seen In El Vampiro De La Colonia Roma, Y Tu Mamá También, And Sueño En Otro Idioma, Mar Bradley

SUURJ: Seattle University Undergraduate Research Journal

Starting with the infamous Ball of the 41, the perception of Mexican male queerness has been strongly affected by its visibility. The Ball of the 41 attracted massive attention from the press; popular engraver José Guadalupe Posada completed two prints on the ball, mocking the attendees. For the first time in modern Mexico, queerness was represented in widespread public media, as knowledge of the scandal disseminated throughout the country by articles and images printed in newspapers. A politics of visibility is central to understanding the representational shifts of queer people, particularly by studying how queer people represent or are represented …

These disruptions raised concerns about their impact on new graduate DPTs' self-efficacy and professional readiness. The current issue addressed by this study is the effect of these disruptions on new graduate self-efficacy and confidence in their professional role. This mixed-method study aimed to assess the extent of clinical education disruption, evaluate its effects on self-efficacy, and explore the lived experiences of new graduate DPTs during the pandemic. Method: A survey …


An Exploratory Study: The Presence Of Imposter Syndrome In New Graduate Allied Health Professionals And Its Relationship To Location Of Practice, Samantha J. Barber, Carol A. Flavell Dr, Moira Smith Dr Jun 2026

An Exploratory Study: The Presence Of Imposter Syndrome In New Graduate Allied Health Professionals And Its Relationship To Location Of Practice, Samantha J. Barber, Carol A. Flavell Dr, Moira Smith Dr

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: Imposter syndrome (IS) explores the feelings of fraudulence within personal and professional settings. Commonly IS results in impaired self-confidence, and self-perceptions of one’s own abilities, their mental health, and places them at a higher risk of burnout. Imposterism is linked to transitionary periods, such as being newly graduated, and while IS addressed amongst the medical community [doctors and nurses], there is a gap in literature relating to IS amongst allied health professionals (AHPs). Additionally, there is no known literature in which IS presence or severity is explored in relation to an individual’s geographic location. The aim of this study …


Aphasia Therapy In An Arabic-Speaking Individual After Stroke: A Case Report, Mohammed F. Alharbi Dr Jun 2026

Aphasia Therapy In An Arabic-Speaking Individual After Stroke: A Case Report, Mohammed F. Alharbi Dr

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: This case report describes the clinical application and preliminary outcomes of Arabic-adapted Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA), Phonological Components Analysis (PCA), and Verb Network Strengthening Treatment (VNeST) in an Arabic-speaking adult with post-stroke aphasia and highlights language-specific factors that affect the adaptation of these interventions to Arabic. Methods: The participant was a 53-year-old right-handed native Arabic-speaking man who developed moderate to severe nonfluent transcortical motor aphasia after a left middle cerebral artery stroke. One month after stroke onset, he underwent assessment with the Short Aphasia Test for Gulf Arabic speakers, which showed relatively preserved auditory comprehension and repetition but marked …
