An Assessment Of Kashmir And Linguistic Plurality In South Asia, Tess Yazvac Apr 2023

An Assessment Of Kashmir And Linguistic Plurality In South Asia, Tess Yazvac

Undergraduate Research Competition

Kashmir is the northernmost region of India that has been under territorial dispute for centuries. In recent years, China, India, and Pakistan have all claimed to have control of a certain domain of this region. Before and after India gained its independence from British rule, fighting has ensued over which nation claims dominance over Kashmir. Out of this conflict, Kashmir became an epicenter where multiple ancient languages have joined and produced variations around the region. This research explores the linguistic importance of Kashmir by studying its religious personality and its different writing systems and vocabulary. According to a 2011 religious’ …


"Generation Mei Ming": Dual Identity Challenges For Chinese Adoptees In Spain, Karina Solis-Aguilar Apr 2023

"Generation Mei Ming": Dual Identity Challenges For Chinese Adoptees In Spain, Karina Solis-Aguilar

Undergraduate Research Competition

In 1995, a documentary film called "The Dying Rooms," directed by British directors Brian Woods and Kate Blewett, was released to the public about the conditions in which Chinese children lived in at the adoption centers. China's "One Child" Policy caused for adoption centers to be completely filled, some of the children dying of neglect and malnourishment. This documentary would later go on to cause over 17,000 Chinese, female children to be adopted in Spain in years to come. The generation of adoptees in Spain were called "Generación Mei-Ming," also known as "Generation Mei-Ming." The individuals travel back to China, …


Historical Narratives: American And Japanese Perspectives On Pearl Harbor, Celina Decordova, Max Scivetti Apr 2023

Historical Narratives: American And Japanese Perspectives On Pearl Harbor, Celina Decordova, Max Scivetti

Undergraduate Research Competition

The system of education is shaped by the social location in which it is taught. This broad concept has been made apparent in relation to national collective memories of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, a point of interest for the Center of Inclusive Excellence’s (CIE) research trip to Honolulu, Hawaii in the first week of March. During our conversations in the CIE, Pearl Harbor has become a hub of conversation especially for the authors of this poster—a Japanese-born student and an American-born student with family ties to Pearl Harbor. These conversations have led to the realization that our respective …


South Germany: Integrating German Speakers Into Latin American Societies, Logan Bellos Apr 2023

South Germany: Integrating German Speakers Into Latin American Societies, Logan Bellos

Undergraduate Research Competition

Argentina and Chile have always been known to be predominantly Spanish speaking countries. However, following the conclusions of both World Wars, an interesting trend in immigration has led to both countries developing a surprisingly large German population. The majority of German immigrants consisted of three groups: ethnic Germans escaping the economic hardships of the First World War, German Jews pre- World War Two, and Nazi Sympathizers fleeing the country post World War Two. While some groups of Germans have successfully assimilated into the hispanic cultures of both Argentina and Chile respectively, other groups of Germans have developed outlying colonies, distancing …


France Through The Eyes Of African Migrants In Contemporary France, Destanee Timmons Apr 2023

France Through The Eyes Of African Migrants In Contemporary France, Destanee Timmons

Undergraduate Research Competition

The impacts of French colonization can be felt worldwide. In the continent of Africa, numerous nations have had their native livelihoods turned on its head during and after the second French colonial empire. During France’s regime over several African nations, France has morphed the traditions of the native’s people and forever left its mark on the continent. Years after their independence, many African nations such as Algeria, Senegal, and Morocco are still affected by the changes implemented during the colonial era. These changes such as suppressing local culture in favor of French ideals resulted in internal turmoil and rampant corruption …

Analyzing The Effects Of American Versus British Theatrical Education, Ashlynn Rober Apr 2023

Analyzing The Effects Of American Versus British Theatrical Education, Ashlynn Rober

Student Research Symposium

Over the summer, with assistance from the money granted to me by URCO, I was able to spend four weeks at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts studying Shakespeare and the art of acting. Over these four weeks, my confidence in technique, self assessment, and overall skills improved abundantly. I was able to fully examine and research all of the techniques I had previously been taught in my time here at Utah State in comparison with not only LAMDA’s technique, but also the technique of my classmates from around the world. My time there was spent gaining an …

Dramaturgy - Pinocchio Teatrale, Natalie Lingardo

Student Research Symposium

Dramaturgy is a rising profession in the world of theatrical productions. The dramaturg's role is to compile research relating to the play or musical, present the information to the team of actors, directors, designers, playwrights, and others in order to create a cohesive, accurate representation of the work across the board. My work as a dramaturg for the world premiere of Pinocchio Teatrale by Nicole B. Adkins involved studying The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi (the book on which this musical adaptation was based) and providing the playwright and creative team with feedback and information throughout the writing, rehearsal, …

Exploring The Expressive Beauty Of Brahms' Op. 119, No. 1: A Journey Through The Composer's Late Piano Works, Jiaqi Zhang

Student Research Symposium

Brahms' Intermezzo in B minor, Op. 119, No. 1 is a profound and beautiful piece that exemplifies the composer's mastery of harmony, melody, and form present in his final works for piano. This composition reflects the cyclical nature of life and also provides insight into Brahms' own personal struggles. Emotional intensity is achieved through harmonic tension and release, and effective interpretation requires pianists to deeply understand these harmonic processes. An examination of both the state of Brahms' experiences during the time of this composition and the harmonic aspects of the piece can deepen one's understanding and appreciation of this late …

"Doubt" follows a depressed and isolated young man who must contend with the physical manifestation of his depression and self doubt. Through this narrative, our protagonist learns truths about the human condition, and the lies that we all tell ourselves to keep us more expanding as human beings. The story follows and details how depression and trauma can flare up at inopportune times and places, and how we must accept ourselves and those around us for our/their flaws in order to grow as people. Strength is looking our failures and insecurities in the eyes and moving forward regardless., despite the …


Hester Prynne, Pi, Tevye Schmidt, Justine Pas Apr 2023

Hester Prynne, Pi, Tevye Schmidt, Justine Pas

2023 Student Academic Showcase

This project is an exploration of the themes of community investigation and mistrust surrounding sin in Hawthorne's description of the Puritans in The Scarlet Letter. It explores these themes by using a board game as an interpretive device to fill a framework of space, place, and identity that shifts each time the game is played anew. Every interpretation of the actions of each main character will change as the location, identity, and sin committed are shuffled around and re-matched in different combinations as each of these characters seek Hester out to verify their thoughts on the sins being committed in …

2023 Student Academic Showcase

My poster presentation is an in-depth explanation and discussion of what translation of languages is. It defines what translation is and what performing a translation entails. It explains how there are many common misconceptions about translations and attempts to disprove them. This in-depth discussion of translation factors such as language identity, culture acceptance, political factors, and much more aid in explaining how translations can be used for good and for bad. Translations can be used to break language and cultural barriers but they can also be used to divide people. It is up to the translator and those in power …


The Female Other: Feminist Existentialism And Crisis In The Great Gatsby, Hazel Denother, Justine Pas Apr 2023

The Female Other: Feminist Existentialism And Crisis In The Great Gatsby, Hazel Denother, Justine Pas

2023 Student Academic Showcase

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald tells the story of several unsatisfied characters who try over and over again to achieve happiness, which seems to be forever beyond their reach. In their cycles of dissatisfaction, many of the characters use romance, courtship, and sex as a tool to create fulfilling lives for themselves, but not one of them is successful in these endeavors. The principle female characters, who feel trapped and powerless in the lives they have ended up in, begin their love affairs out of an arguably deeper place of desperation than the male characters. When read through …

The Great Gatsby Graphic Novel’S Illustrator Aya Morton’S Admiration Of Vincent Van Gogh And Company, Sarah Cisco

Undergraduate Research Conference

I chose to study F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby alongside Aya Morton's recent graphic novel adaptation. As scholars have noted the influence that modernist art had on Fitzgerald's writing style, I explored the influence that — impressionists and post-impressionist artists — had on Morton's renditions.
