The Effects Of Interpreting In Mental Health Care, Sophia Holt

Celebration of Research

The therapeutic alliance greatly influences the quality of mental health care. This alliance and other aspects of treatment are significantly changed with the introduction of an interpreter into the therapeutic alliance. A literature review was conducted and written in Spanish between January 2020 and April 2020 to determine the effects of the use of interpreters in mental health care services and to make a summary of these findings available in Spanish. The 14 articles reviewed produced the themes of varying interpreter roles, the need for a working alliance between the mental health professional and interpreter, loss of various aspects of …

Costume Design For The Curious Incident Of The Dog Of The Nighttime, Rachel Smart

Celebration of Research

The following is a presentation of the ensemble costumes of Northwestern's 2019 production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime directed by Drew Schmidt. These costumes were designed and executed by Rachel Smart with execution assistance from head designer and costume shop manager Amber Huizenga.

The ensemble cast for this production contained seven actors and twenty-eight costumes in grays-cale. Therefore, careful consideration in the execution of this design was lent towards creating costume changes that were significant but simple, adding meaningful touches of color into the design, and creating accurate and appropriate costumes for UK police officers. …

Jonah And The Giant Fish: Designing For An Ensemble, Cornelia Hayes

Celebration of Research

Being the costume designer for Northwestern Theatre Department’s children show, Jonah and the Giant Fish, allowed for a look into ensemble design. The theatre department prides itself in being an ensemble, but designing for a show with ensemble cast, a group of actors that shares the equal responsibility of telling the story, requires a different approach in costume design. The costumes had to unify the ensemble as well portray the multiple characters that they played, requiring a vast amount of flexibility. The group of storytellers began their hour with the children by sharing and showing how theatre happens …

Bilingual Essays | Ensayos Bilingües, Emily Wikner, Diana Gonzalez, Keith Fynaardt

Celebration of Research

A language learner gains a unique experience through studying abroad. They learn to process a new culture and values in their new language, but they still carry their native language and value system in the background. Most attempts to describe the experience of living abroad only use one language with occasional words from the second language sprinkled in. However, using both languages in one essay gives a vivid understanding of what it feels like to constantly switch between two languages, creating a kairotic environment for other bilingual students studying another language to remember their own experiences of studying abroad. For …

Thank God I'M Alive And Not In Jail: A Short Story Collection, Olivia Vander Ploeg

Celebration of Research

For this project, I used my grandparents’ journals to write stories loosely based on their lives. I introduced and concluded each story in the present: in scenes drawn from interactions between my grandparents, myself, and my siblings in the last decade. In addition to retelling some of my grandparents’ stories, my aim in these stories was to explore the effects of dementia on my grandparents, specifically thinking about what happens to a story when the person who lived it has forgotten it. “The Quest for the Curlers” is about my grandma and her friends trying to fix a friend’s hair. …

Why Is Bede Interested In Kings In An Ecclesiastical History?, Abigail Ver Mulm

Celebration of Research

Eusebius of Caesarea wrote a History of the Church around 300 CE; it was an account of holy persons such as bishops and martyrs, as might be expected from such a title. However, hundreds of years later, a monk and scholar named Bede writes an Ecclesiastical History of the English People, and much of his word count is spent recounting the actions of kings. This peculiar choice made by Bede was the subject of my Undergraduate Research Seminar at the University of Oxford this past fall.

Reading Cicero's Tusculan Disputations, Abigail Ver Mulm

Celebration of Research

Some figures in history loom so large that they become multiple people in the imagination, and Marcus Tullius Cicero is certainly one. Scholarship about Cicero has fractured his identity into multiple pieces, so that “Cicero the orator” seems a separate character from “Cicero the philosopher” or “Cicero the exile” or “Cicero the grieving father.” This is especially the case in scholarship regarding Cicero’s Tusculan Disputations. These were written late in Cicero’s life, when his rhetoric and philosophy was well developed and his grief was acute, due to the recent death of his daughter, Tullia. Thus, the complexities of the …

Noises Off Lighting Design, Maren Taylor

Celebration of Research

Designing for a theatrical production is a time-consuming process filled with research and lots of trial and error. This process was different from other shows. Because we decided to have the audience change sides instead of the set rotating, I essentially had to make two lighting plots for the grid: one for the front side and one for the backside. I also had a lot of lights on the set and made a ground plot for that. Before finalizing my design, I tested out different options on our classroom setup and using a photometircs software.

Julianne And Kristofferson Get Back Together Sound Design, Zachary Wilson

Celebration of Research

My design for this production was focused on trying to find a good balance between creating soundscapes that felt natural and using sound to compliment the bittersweet nostalgia of remembering a past relationship. The first task was largely accomplished through study of similar real-world environments to mimic, the second being accomplished through music choice.

"Coming Home": Writing Creative Nonfiction Essays, Alexis Karsjens

Celebration of Research

“Coming Home” is a collection of creative nonfiction essays that explore what home can represent. The essays explore the importance of family and finding belonging in the midst of an ever-changing environment. The idea and reality of place is at the heart of the collection, in which I reflect on my personal experiences of growing up on a farm in Northeast Iowa. The essay “Emerald Green Beans” is a reflection on a visit to my grandmother’s home after receiving a suicidal phone call from her, and further exploring her memories of her now-vanished hometown of Eleanor, Iowa. In “When the …

Sound Design For Jonah And The Giant Fish, Wyatt Waage

Celebration of Research

In Jonah and the Giant Fish, a show produced for children ages five to ten, Jonah, a servant of God, struggles to decide if he should listen to God's call or not. Using sound we tell this violent story to kids with enough pathos so they understand the gravity of the situation but not too much that they are overwhelmed and want to leave. Using the beautiful, artistic power of sound design, the world comes to life and sparks the imaginations of children.

This was my first time designing for a show and I entered my design into the …

Cheerleading: A Reflection Of Changing Gender Norms In Sport, Jori Steenhoek

Celebration of Research

Today, cheerleaders are often seen as either a symbol of youthful prestige, wholesome attractiveness, peer leadership and popularity; or, they are seen as a symbol of mindless enthusiasm, shallow boosterism, objectified sexuality, and promiscuous availability. Both of these descriptions describe cheerleaders in a traditionally feminine way, which arguably is normal, as cheerleading today is seen as a feminine activity. However, this was not always the case. As collegiate sports became more and more organized and popular in the late 19^th and early 20^th century, cheerleading emerged. Sport during this time was, and arguably still is, seen as a …

Generosity Of Spirit: Faith, Democracy, And Grace In Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, Elisabeth Dellarova

Research and Creativity Symposium

As my honors capstone and a culminating course for the English major, I have completed an individual study on the theme of grace and how it relates to the American experience in Marilynne Robinson’s work, specifically her three books Gilead (2004), Home (2008), and Lila (2014). The books are about the families of John Ames and Robert Boughton, who are preachers and lifelong friends living in the fictional small town of Gilead, Iowa in the 1950s. Through the books, Robinson presents her view on modern American Christianity, placing it in the context of American religious movements such as Transcendentalism, Puritanism, …

Fantasmas O Fantasia: Un Análisis De Casa Tomada, Christopher Good

Research and Creativity Symposium

Literary analysis of Casa tomada (House overtaken), a short story written by Julio Cortazar in his book: “Bestiario” (bestiary). The story has features of magical realism, mystery, and horror in its account of two siblings whose home is overtaken after hearing strange sounds. This essay was written by a student in Professor Fajardo-Cardenas’ writing-intensive, Advanced Writing class (Spanish 413).
