Critical Explorations: Using Feminist And Artful Inquiry In An Adolescent Literature Class, Emily L. Freeman Apr 2026

Critical Explorations: Using Feminist And Artful Inquiry In An Adolescent Literature Class, Emily L. Freeman

Feminist Pedagogy

Using feminist and artful inquiry in teacher education courses creates spaces of resistance to normative modes of sharing knowledge. The Critical Explorations project is the final assignment for a required young adult and adolescent literature course and requires that students engage in creative modes of expression when sharing their research. The teaching activity opens up new possibilities for engagement with texts and research questions that works to disrupt traditional English Language Arts assessments.


Engaging The World’S Cultures By Exploring Travel Possibilities: Overcoming Ethnocentrism To Demonstrate Cultural Awareness, Ashley D. Garcia, Daniel L. Foster Apr 2026

Engaging The World’S Cultures By Exploring Travel Possibilities: Overcoming Ethnocentrism To Demonstrate Cultural Awareness, Ashley D. Garcia, Daniel L. Foster

Feminist Pedagogy

This series of intercultural communication assignments was designed to assist students with the challenging transition from an ethnocentric (inflexible) mindset to an ethnorelative (flexible) one. At the beginning of the semester, students select a country and a corresponding international news source (online) to read throughout the semester. They complete several Engaging the World’s Cultures (EWC) assignments during the semester to accomplish two goals: to dive deep into the culture and to strengthen the uptake of an ethnorelative mindset when learning about a different culture. The information gathered through the EWC assignments is then compiled in a Travel Brochure at the …


The Citation Statement As Feminist Citational Praxis, Melissa Chomintra Apr 2026

The Citation Statement As Feminist Citational Praxis, Melissa Chomintra

Feminist Pedagogy

A key component of feminist information literacy and feminist research is the development of a citational praxis. One of the ways that students can foster their citational praxis is by writing a citation statement as part of their iterative research process. The purpose of this original teaching activity (OTA) is to teach students how to develop a citational praxis. The activity provides students with an introduction to citational praxis, the purpose of a citation statement, and the tools and strategies to implement it in their own research.


Teaching During A Pandemic: Using Digital Visual Storytelling As Chicana/X/ And Latina/X Feminist Pedagogy, Magaly Ordonez Apr 2026

Teaching During A Pandemic: Using Digital Visual Storytelling As Chicana/X/ And Latina/X Feminist Pedagogy, Magaly Ordonez

Feminist Pedagogy

This article offers critical pedagogical insights and experiences using StoryMaps as a queer trans* Chicanx educator during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. I offer StoryMaps as an original teaching activity rooted in Chicana/x feminist epistemologies and pedagogies that prioritize the voices of marginalized communities as sources of knowledge. I propose the pedagogical uses of digital storytelling as a Chicana/x feminist tool for creative critical thinking and shift in learning spaces that go beyond traditional essay-style writing assignments. It builds from my experience teaching undergraduate courses at a predominantly white institution in the Midwest.


Peer Power In Rural America: Community-Led Hiv Prevention Strategies From Appalachia And Beyond, James Arthur Apr 2026

Peer Power In Rural America: Community-Led Hiv Prevention Strategies From Appalachia And Beyond, James Arthur

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

This abstract explores how peer and community-led HIV prevention strategies are transforming access, engagement, and equity in rural America, with a focus on Appalachia. Drawing on findings from a systematic review of 15 peer-reviewed studies (2014–2025), we highlight effective models like peer navigation, social network recruitment, mobile outreach, and community mobilization that have increased HIV testing, PrEP uptake, and care linkage among rural and underserved populations. The session will showcase evidence from programs led by and for marginalized communities such as GBQMSM, TGNB individuals, people who use drugs, and youth in regions historically excluded from mainstream HIV efforts. Participants will …

Parental Conceptions On The Causes Of Neurodevelopmental Disorders In The United Arab Emirates, Mariam Mohammed Ali Aljaberi Apr 2026

Parental Conceptions On The Causes Of Neurodevelopmental Disorders In The United Arab Emirates, Mariam Mohammed Ali Aljaberi

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

When no verified causes are pinned to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), individuals construct their own beliefs based on their own context. Some studies aimed at unfolding these beliefs globally, yet a gap remained in examining this in the United Arab Emirates context. This study investigated Emirati parents' causal conceptions of NDDs across health, genetic, environmental, and religious domains between parents of children with disabilities and parents of typically developing children. This study implemented an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design, as the data was collected in two subsequent phases where the qualitative phase's exploratory findings informed the creation of the quantitative …


Mental Health Equity For Sexual And Gender Minority Students At A Rural University: Evidence From Etsu’S Healthy Minds Study, Richard Mutua Kilonzo Apr 2026

Mental Health Equity For Sexual And Gender Minority Students At A Rural University: Evidence From Etsu’S Healthy Minds Study, Richard Mutua Kilonzo

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Universities nationwide are reporting rising psychological distress among students, yet inequities in mental health for sexual and gender minority (SGM) students—those whose sexual orientation or gender identity differs from the majority—remain poorly understood in rural settings. This project examines whether SGM students at a rural public university in Central Appalachia experience greater mental health burden, distinct barriers to care, and less affirming service environments than their non-SGM peers, testing the hypothesis that SGM students have both higher symptom levels and greater unmet need for care. Guided by Minority Stress Theory (which links stigma-related stressors to health outcomes) and a social–ecological …


Adsorption Of Perfluoroalkyl Substances On Bridged Functionalized Organosilica Materials, Elisha Kabutey Apr 2026

Adsorption Of Perfluoroalkyl Substances On Bridged Functionalized Organosilica Materials, Elisha Kabutey

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made molecules with extremely stable carbon-fluorine bonds. They persist in the environment, causing significant health problems in humans and animals through contamination of water, soil, and food. Existing adsorption methods for removing PFAS from water sources have limitations, including high production and regeneration costs, low removal efficiencies, and long processing times. The objective of this study was to address these limitations by creating a cost-effective bridged organosilica material for the removal of PFAS from contaminated water. The material was prepared by a sol-gel process from bis[3 (trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine without the addition of surfactants, bases, or …


Evaluating Appalachian Farmacy: Impact Of A Rural Produce Prescription Program On Food Security And Health Outcomes, Andrea Nutsugah Apr 2026

Evaluating Appalachian Farmacy: Impact Of A Rural Produce Prescription Program On Food Security And Health Outcomes, Andrea Nutsugah

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Introduction: Food insecurity remains a critical public health concern, particularly in rural, low-income communities. Produce prescription programs have emerged as a strategy to improve food access and promote healthier eating behaviors. This study presents an evaluation of Appalachian Farmacy, a produce prescription program in Northeast Tennessee designed to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among individuals receiving Medicaid, Medicare, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Methods: Program evaluation methods included interviews for process evaluation and surveys for impact evaluation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with program participants to evaluate process measures and explore their experiences, perceptions of the program, and barriers …
