When The Media Meets The Movement: Constructing Unity And Division At The National Women’S Conference, Claire T. Hunter

Washington Semester Program

In 1977, the National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas was an ambitious and historic attempt to set an agenda for women's rights and equality in the United States. This groundbreaking event brought together thousands of activists, policymakers, and leaders to discuss and propose solutions to issues facing women. This paper uses a qualitative and media analysis of five major newspapers: The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and The Boston Globe to examine how mainstream media constructed narratives of unity and division surrounding the conference. The findings suggest that media coverage …

Project-Based Learning On Steam-Based Student's Worksheet With Ecoprint Technique: Effects On Student Scientific Reasoning And Creativity, Irdalisa Irdalisa, Paidi Paidi, Rashmi Ranjan Panigrahi, Erlia Hanum

Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan IPA

The use of conventional worksheets will likely limit students' ability to explore themselves and their critical and analytical thinking, which can enhance their scientific reasoning and creativity. This situation demands the need for student worksheets linked to technology, art, and mathematics to adapt to the demands of the times. This study aims to determine the effect of project-based learning by analyzing student worksheets based on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) using the eco-print technique on students’ scientific reasoning and creativity. This research is a quasi-experimental study. The research sample is 160 students of a public senior high school …

Writers Of The Storm: Who's Behind The Ongoing Production Of Pro-Russian False Narratives, Patrick Warren, Darren Linvill, Steven Sheffield, Leland Fecher, Kylie Gilbert, Jonathon Greco, Alexa Gubanich, Janna Gubanich, Parker Hundley, Ella Kea, Claire Manson, Ethan May, Sarah Meadows, Connor Pridnia, Matthew Rippy, Miles Rockow, Timothy Ross, Phebe Webb

Media Forensics Hub Creative Inquiry Reports

This report describes additional findings about a pro-Russian disinformation campaign first publicly identified by Clemson’s Media Forensics Hub in December 2023[1] and subsequently dubbed Storm-1516 by Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center.[2] This campaign has been ongoing since at least August 2023 and has met with several viral successes. In this report we will attempt to better understand who may be responsible for Storm-1516 and, perhaps more importantly, the distribution network driving the campaign’s virality.

Storm-1516 is tightly connected to the Russian Foundation to Battle Injustice (R-FBI). Their behavior is much too closely linked than would reasonably occur by accident or simple …

Losing Lives Despite “Lifesaving” Exceptions: Examining The Fatal Flaws Of Vague Abortion Bans And The Spectrum Of Medical Decisionmaking In Cancer Care, Kiersten Wood

Vanderbilt Law Review

On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court upended decades of precedent pertaining to reproductive health when it held that abortion fell outside the purview of constitutionally protected rights. Since then, conservative states have raced to institute stringent abortion bans, with many lacking explicit exceptions for pregnant individuals enduring medical emergencies that necessitate care. Ambiguous statutory language has induced a chilling effect in the medical arena, where providers risk criminal and civil liabilities by performing requested and medically recommended abortions for emergent patients when fetal development would risk the life of the pregnant individual. Seized in the crossfire of hyperpolarized politics, …

Resource Selection Of The Southern Fox Squirrel (Sciurus Niger Niger) In The Coastal Plain Of Virginia, Marissa H. Guill, Jesse L. De La Cruz, K. Marc Puckett, W. Mark Ford

Virginia Journal of Science

The southern fox squirrel (Sciurus niger niger) is a subspecies of fox squirrel that ranges from southeastern Virginia to northern Florida. Throughout its Southeastern range, southern fox squirrel habitat of natural mixed pine-hardwood forests has been fragmented by agriculture and short-rotation pine plantations. In Virginia, remaining habitat has been transformed by fire suppression on the landscape and has in turn resulted in small, disjunct populations of southern fox squirrels. We sought to identify the home range and resource utilization of southern fox squirrels in the southern Coastal Plain of Virginia. From established nest boxes, we captured, radio collared …

The Provenance Of A Pali- And Thai-Language Manuscript At The Rollins College Library: A Buddhist Book Of Merit And Its Long Journey From Southeast Asia To America, Wenxian Zhang

Faculty Publications

Through researching the provenance of a Buddhist manuscript written in the Pali and Thai languages currently held at Rollins, this article seeks to answer the question of how a religious document created in Thailand ended up in a liberal arts college library in America. Regarded as an act of devotion by many Buddhist followers in Southeast Asia, the use of folding manuscripts (samut khoi) has been observed for centuries. The folding manuscripts served as handbooks and chanting manuals for Buddhist monks, who often recited in religious ceremonies while paying tributes to the deceased, with the hope of reincarnation in a …

Reading Feyerabend Between Philosophy Of Science, Hermeneutics – And God, Babette Babich

Articles and Chapters in Academic Book Collections

This essay seeks to make the case for reading hermeneutic philosophy of science with Feyerabend. In addition, there is the question of science, as Nietzsche raises this question along with Feyerabend’s programmatic recommendations for traditional philosophy of science. Including a discussion of method in history as in theology and philology, including Nietzsche’s hermeneutics, this essay reviews Feyerabend’s exchanges with Lakatos along with the resistance of mainstream philosophy of science to hermeneutics as such. A discussion of Feyerabend’s ‘gods’ engages what he invokes as ontological abundance as well as his criticism of the limitations of Popper’s critique of Parmenides requiring both …

The paper draws attention to skills of information evaluation, knowledge of production, cultural understanding, and knowledge of content moderation practices as necessary for social media literacy. The paper further argues that, due to the open, social, collective, and distributed nature of …
