Child Protection Services: The Developmental Consequences Of Arbitrary Removal (2020-2021), John Jackson
Research Inquiry

The Effects Of Misrepresentation (2020-2021), Miranda R. Cobo
Research Inquiry
This example of a research inquiry investigates issues of representation in the comic, Black Panther.

Illegitimate Control: An Acknowledgement Of False White Supremacy (2020-2021), Whitman Ives
Research Inquiry
This research inquiry introduces a timely conversation on racism, cultural appropriation, and white supremacy. Ives’ argument is that the root cause of cultural appropriation and racism can be traced to a negative and false history of white supremacy. In other words, white culture has been founded and perpetuated based on power-seeking behavior, of which racism is more a symptom. Ives asserts that it is important to acknowledge that white culture is based on false assumptions of supremacy and to address that more systematically rather than addressing only individual events or instances of racism.
The Doppelganger Effect (2020-2021), Jessica Jean-Baptiste
The Doppelganger Effect (2020-2021), Jessica Jean-Baptiste
Research Inquiry
In this example of a research inquiry, Jean-Baptiste focuses on the use of cameras and mirrors to create doubles, or “doppelgangers” for the character of Nina in the film, Black Swan. In thinking about the “doppelganger effect,” Jean-Baptiste moves through an argument for how doubling fulfills not only one purpose or message within the film, but three. Her claim in synthesizing multiple sources of film analysis is that the doppelganger allows Aronofsky to comment on mental disorders, sexism within the community of ballet, and the overall mood for the film as a thriller as opposed to only a drama.
