Muses: Finding Women's Voices, Megan Codling, Elise Willmore
Muses: Finding Women's Voices, Megan Codling, Elise Willmore
Student Research Symposium
Our project is entitled Muses: Finding Women’s Voices. This creative project used museum theatre to highlight and celebrate the work of different female artists in the surrealstic art form. The International Museum Theatre Alliance defines museum theatre as “a term that has been used to refer both to the performance of theatre (i.e. a play) in or by a museum and also to the use of any of a variety of theatrical techniques by museums.” (IMTAL). Museum theatre is a way to enhance the overall educational message of a museum. For this project, we partnered with the Nora Eccles Harrison …
Not Your Grandma's Kitchen: Recipe Cards In The Digital Age, Emily Powell
Not Your Grandma's Kitchen: Recipe Cards In The Digital Age, Emily Powell
Student Research Symposium
With the rise in popularity of food bloggers and social media chefs, how do recipe cards function in a digital age? Although scholarly literature addresses the history of cooking, little research focuses on the recipe card, its history, and its use. Originally, recipe cards were not intended to be kept or treasured as family heirlooms. They served purely functional purposes, acting as prompts to housewives when cooking meals and later to promote new technology and foods in the culinary industry. Even with the rise of the internet, many hold onto old recipe cards. This study looks at the history and …
Mandalas And Anxiety, Clara Harmon

FBOs can include offices and work areas for those that operate the business, as well as luxury lounge areas, food and beverage areas, sometimes restaurants, and pilot lounges for resting and refreshing.
Pest Houses, Quarantine, And Smallpox: Utah Newspapers Reporting On Quarantine In The Early 1900s, Ericka Stone
Pest Houses, Quarantine, And Smallpox: Utah Newspapers Reporting On Quarantine In The Early 1900s, Ericka Stone
Student Research Symposium
This presentation focuses on the methods and rhetoric newspapers used to report on smallpox quarantines in the early 1900s. Newspapers from throughout Utah are examined, with special attention given to articles published within or written about the Cache Valley area. The goal of this presentation is to highlight the ways in which newspapers established quarantine regulations, reported on smallpox cases and negligence, and dealt with rumors and misinformation. Overall, it is concluded that newspapers were a valuable source of information and mass communication during the smallpox epidemic in the early 20th century.
Visions Of Science: An Art Historical Exploration Of Medieval Scientific Manuscripts, Olivia Brock
Visions Of Science: An Art Historical Exploration Of Medieval Scientific Manuscripts, Olivia Brock
Student Research Symposium
The late 16th century saw a new movement in the world of science to push scientific ideas and practice out of academia and into the hands of the layman. No longer were scholars the sole proprietors of science – everyday laborers, craftsman, and artists now had practical scientific principles at their fingertips that they could incorporate into their professions. This new spread of science was facilitated in several ways, including the publication of books incorporating detailed, explanatory images, new utilitarian instruments, and public lectures. Though science was disseminated through a variety of means, I have been particularly interested in the …
Making The Old New: The Recontextualization Of Tree Spirits In Video Games, Alexandria Ziegler
Making The Old New: The Recontextualization Of Tree Spirits In Video Games, Alexandria Ziegler
Student Research Symposium
Folklorists study the active rituals between humans and deities, as well as the inactive participation between them in narrative. However, they do not study the active participation that comes in the form of video games between them, though with shifts in society, this new way of engaging through digital forms is widespread and accessible. In my research, I studied Russian and Japanese tree spirits in a variety of video games to understand this new form of engagement with ancient deities. Through the lens of hypermodern and folkloresque folklore, I use the concepts of recontextualization and traditionalization to explain why video …
The Travesty Of Gun Laws, Zacharry Peterson
The Travesty Of Gun Laws, Zacharry Peterson
Student Research Symposium
Gun laws placed in the wrong places towards good people inhibits them from owning and protecting themselves and their loved ones. This is a claim of value, guns in the hands of good people can benefit and be a tool for them and keeping their families and loved ones safe. Strict gun laws can cause good people who desire to protect the ones they love, the inability to obtain them. Guns were seen as a masculine thing and rite of passage in the early 1900’s. They were mainly used for target shooting and hunting.
For The Love Of The Game: A Deeper Look Into The Rise Of Women's Hockey, Kylie Larsen
For The Love Of The Game: A Deeper Look Into The Rise Of Women's Hockey, Kylie Larsen
Student Research Symposium
In my research, I wanted to look into the history, culture, and stereotypes surrounding women's hockey and push the boundaries of this information by exploring a new aesthetic and design for the sport. I considered personal experiences female players have had with misogyny in a male dominated sport, bias' in designs for uniforms/locker rooms/equipment/fan apparel/etc, and historical moments like the 'pay deal' agreement'. All of these different things played a part in the designs of my deliverables in one way or another. This new research based aesthetic approach better represents women's hockey history and its growing, hopeful future.
Living In Killer Corsets: The Body's Response To Victorian Era Corsets, Rachel Walker
Living In Killer Corsets: The Body's Response To Victorian Era Corsets, Rachel Walker
Student Research Symposium
Lasting narratives surrounding the role of corsets in the lives of nineteenth-century women tend toward opposing extremes; few dress reformers who completely denounced corsets and a minority of upper-class women who used corsets to achieve the smallest possible waist even if detrimental to their health. The spectrum of nineteenth-century corset opinions was wide. Valerie Steele’s monumental work on the history of corsetry explains that most people at the time fell somewhere in the middle. (Steele 2001) Women of all social classes wore corsets daily and most worked labor-intensive jobs, enjoyed recreational activities outdoors, and sports increasingly so towards the late …
Desdemona's Responsibility For Pain In Shakespeare's Othello, Anna Holmes
Desdemona's Responsibility For Pain In Shakespeare's Othello, Anna Holmes
Student Research Symposium
Shakespeare’s portrayal of women has been heavily debated amongst critics from the very beginning. Was he a feminist for his time, subtly pointing out the failings in Elizabethan society’s treatment of women? Or was he instead simply portraying the role of women at the time? I argue that Shakespeare’s nuanced portrayal of women speaks more of the feminist argument, as he writes complex female protagonists in a time when no one believed in these complexities. While some argue that his view of women was sexist from his brutalization and violence against women, I argue that it’s within these confines he …
Mid-Century Modern: Revitalized And Thriving, Wyatt Koyle
Mid-Century Modern: Revitalized And Thriving, Wyatt Koyle
Student Research Symposium
The Mid-Century Modern style of furnishings and design originated in the 1940's and was short lived as other trends quickly took its place. Nowadays however, we are seeing this style resurface and return in force. It no longer applies only to furniture, but has spilled over into other areas of interior design as well. After personally observing this in both educational and professional projects that I contributed to, my interest in the style and its future has grown. The main questions that can be asked are: 1) Is the Mid-Century Modern style that we see today the same as the …

Vital Change Needed In Shift Of Focus In Mental Institutions, Emma Carver
Vital Change Needed In Shift Of Focus In Mental Institutions, Emma Carver
Student Research Symposium
Mental Illnesses and disorders are at an all time high in American history with little being done to try and aid such an epidemic. Mental Institutions that focus solely on the short term solution need to shift their focus to long term care to prevent issues such as; mental, emotional and financial stresses on the family or individual felt from caring for struggling individuals. To conduct my research, I used library and internet resources to gather primary and secondary sources all focused on mental illness and mental institutions. I used sources by underrepresented scholars concerning different first hand experiences with …
The Failed Promise Of Private School Voucher Systems: How We Can Learn From Previous Systems In Future Endeavors, Sarah Curtis
The Failed Promise Of Private School Voucher Systems: How We Can Learn From Previous Systems In Future Endeavors, Sarah Curtis
Student Research Symposium
Voucher systems have been enacted in a number of states, giving government grants to students in order to attend private school institutions where they may not have had the financial ability to before. Voucher systems have claimed to ensure the prosperity of students as they aim to provide religious freedom, special needs education, and opportunities for academic excellence. This promise has held popularity among its supporters, but looking at decade old systems now reveal that this simply isn’t true and has stirred controversy around vouchers. While school vouchers promised higher test scores, they have failed to provide such results when …

Comfort In The Living Environment, Susie Head
Comfort In The Living Environment, Susie Head
Student Research Symposium
It is important to design our living environments to provide a level of comfort and there are sciences and theories that make comfort a technical process. How do these theories and practices work together and how can they be applied to a material such as a wallpaper to encourage interior comfort. Research was done into practices such as feng shui, hygge, wabi-sabi, and color and pattern science to create three original wallpapers. The conclusion was that comfort and peace can be found in mindfulness and a connection to nature.

Creating Safe Spaces For Women Through Architecture And Interior Design - Expressed Through The Design Of A Queer Women's Bar, Riley Robbins
Student Research Symposium
Safe Spaces are so important to marginalized communities. These spaces have been severely lacking for queer women. There are currently around 1,000 bars for cisgender gay men and 15 for queer women across the entirety of the United States of America. This research explores the design of a Queer Women’s Bar and how it can become a safe space.There is currently a movement called the Lesbian Bar Project that seeks to increase these safe spaces and keep them in place. A big problem they have is getting people to keep coming back. This research explores that and how a bar …

Mentoring undergraduate research has received attention in scholarly publications, particularly in STEM areas (Pierszalowski & Buser, 2021; National Academies; Pathways to Science). More general advice on mentoring appears in Temple et al (2010) and Vandermaas-Peeler et al, 2018). Attention to mentoring undergraduate researchers in the humanities has been addressed by Behling (2009), Klos, et al (2011), Crawford et al (2014). Grobman and Kinkead (2010) include a section on mentoring in their Undergraduate Research in English Studies. What are the characteristics of faculty mentors in a department of English? This study seeks to determine a profile of effective mentoring in this …
Waterwise Landscaping In The Intermountain West, Brynne Larsen
Waterwise Landscaping In The Intermountain West, Brynne Larsen
Student Research Symposium
Utah is the second driest state in the United States of America. Yet, the average Utahn uses more water to keep their lawn green than they do on anything else, including indoor use such as bathing, cleaning dishes, and washing laundry. To use our water wisely and most effectively, Utah residents need to rethink their yards. This means cutting out as much grass as possible and replacing it with a more water efficient landscape. However, a yard without grass can still be appealing. The Utah landscape is full of beautiful and diverse drought tolerant plants. This project focuses on how …
Creating A Fresh Start, Brooklyn Hawes
Creating A Fresh Start, Brooklyn Hawes
Student Research Symposium
This 3,200 square feet office space has been refreshed for a new purpose of giving a fresh start to the unhoused residents in New York City. This space was once an economic hub for small businesses where deals were made and money was exchanged. Some New York residents have been on the other side of the coin where money is harder to come across, resulting in becoming unhoused. The main factors that lead to unhousing are the lack of affordable housing, unemployment, substance abuse, or mental illness. This space is now home to assisting less fortunate people to a new …
The Fabric Of Genius: Examining The Material Choices Of Creative Writing Graduate Students, Kylie Smith
The Fabric Of Genius: Examining The Material Choices Of Creative Writing Graduate Students, Kylie Smith
Student Research Symposium
In recent years, the material culture of writing has been an important topic of study for composition scholars. Though many studies examine the material choices of many types of writers, including creative writers, researchers have yet to examine whether or not individuals use different implements to perform different writerly identities. This case study, examining three graduate students in Utah State University’s department of English, asks which writing implements individuals choose to complete creative writing tasks, and whether those differ from implements chosen to complete critical or academic writing tasks.
Workplace Design After Covid-19, Mikaela Simmons
