Making Mental Health Information Accessible To Latinxs Through The Use Of Internet Forums, April Martinez
Undergraduate Distinction Papers
This study was conducted to explore the use of Internet memes as a way to address mental health stigma within the Latinx community. The study measured participants’ mental health prejudice both before and after exposure to a series of memes over a two-week span. The control group was shown memes that did not relate to mental health and the experimental group was shown mental health memes.

Results showed no significant decrease of stigma between …
The Pussy As Prey: Discourses Of Predation And Human Sexual Violence, Paige Skaff
The Pussy As Prey: Discourses Of Predation And Human Sexual Violence, Paige Skaff
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
The pussy is the central focus of this thesis: the pussy as prey, the pussy as the cis-gendered vulva-owning female, the pussy as the effeminate male. The pussy is a source of vulnerability and a catalyst for sexual and gender violence. The term pussy alone aligns the human figure to the nonhuman animal world in euphemistic language.

I find that the majority …

Why Society Mistrusts The Science Of Covid-19, Calvin King
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
In December of 2019 the first known case of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, China. One month later the virus had made its way to the United States and changed our daily lives forever. Mask mandates, social distancing, stay-at-home orders, and vaccinations have all been measures to help contain the spread of this deadly disease, but many people choose not to engage in these protocols not believing their effectiveness and mistrusting the science that went into making them. In this study a survey was administered to 98 participants online who were asked seven demographic questions and then …
