Deconstructing Perceptions Of The Border Patrol At The U.S.-Mexico Border, Claire H. Woodward
Deconstructing Perceptions Of The Border Patrol At The U.S.-Mexico Border, Claire H. Woodward
Student Publications
The U.S.-Mexico border is a space for public debate on the legal and political aspects of immigration. Politicization of the southern border has resulted in polarized public opinion regarding immigration, leading to discrepancies between public perceptions of the Border Patrol and agents’ perceptions of their job. Agents’ work requires emotional labor, and lack of training for difficult encounters, pressure within the agency to detach from emotions, and public outcry lead to dissonance in agent perceptions of their own role in immigration enforcement. In addition, economic, ethnic, and gender-based factors contribute to agent identities, which intersect with perceptions of their roles …
Gender-Based Experiences Of Migrant Smuggling At The Us-Mexico Border, Sarah E. Rinehart
Gender-Based Experiences Of Migrant Smuggling At The Us-Mexico Border, Sarah E. Rinehart
Student Publications
The US-Mexico border has been increasing its security measures, which has corresponded with increases in migration. Due to increasing restrictions on who is able to legally migrate, many turn to irregular migration, and the more effective way of achieving irregular migration is through use of a migrant facilitator. Migrant smugglers are individuals who receive compensated for assisting others in crossing a national border through illegal means. In discourses about irregular migration from the media and political, migrant smugglers are typically portrayed as criminalized men who take advantage of vulnerable, victimized women migrants. While the experiences of men and women migrants …
Presidential Leadership In The Space Age, Ziv R. Carmi
Presidential Leadership In The Space Age, Ziv R. Carmi
Student Publications
Mankind’s quest to reach the moon consisted of many people in leadership positions. In the US, however, many of the decisions behind the space race, especially funding for it, were made by four men: Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and Richard Nixon. While some presidents (namely Kennedy) receive more credit than others for their work on bringing man to the moon, each of them passed influential policy that was vital in the development of Apollo: Eisenhower founded NASA and began research on the Saturn V, Kennedy gave vision and urgency to the program, Johnson gave massive …

Ms – 243: Emma Guffey Miller Photo Albums, Katie Amtower
All Finding Aids
This collection includes three different albums. Two of them are bound in traditional Japanese binding with rice paper; the other may have been constructed to imitate the Japanese bound ones. These albums include Emma Guffey’s travels, from traveling around Japan and returning home periodically. They also include photographs of her time living in Japan. The photographs in this album include many small panorama photographs of nature and architecture, and there is a possibility that these albums include a few early colored photographs.
The first album, labeled “1901-1904,” begins with a few photos of her final year at Bryn Mawr. It …

Ms – 242: Guide To The Muriel Rice Collection Of Nocasinogettysburg, Karen Dupell Drickamer
All Finding Aids
Muriel Rice, along with Susan Paddock, led the campaign to stop David LeVan’s proposal to build a casino in Straban Township in 2005-2006. The two women co-chaired the organization and led it to its successful conclusion. This one box collection of Muriels’s papers supplements MS-209 NoCasinoGettysburg Papers and contains Muriel’s letters and emails as well as some NoCasino’s working files, printouts from the organization’s web-site, NoCasino.com, letters to the editor, and news clippings for 2005-2006. Although arranged in a similar fashion to MS-209, the collection’s small size (0.75 cu. ft.) did not warrant division into Series.

Antiquities Theft: The Role Of The Museum In Modern Symbolic Violence, Meredith M. Amato
Antiquities Theft: The Role Of The Museum In Modern Symbolic Violence, Meredith M. Amato
Student Publications
Humans have been collecting artifacts for centuries, whether it is for their aesthetic value or for the acquisition of knowledge. However, these artifacts have, in most cases, been taken without permission from the countries of origin. Today, museums are struggling with the issue of repatriation and many refuse to return their priceless possessions. Western museums and their supporters are arguing that repatriation will put the artifacts in danger and hurt the chances for humanity to learn from them. The arguments of these museums are an attempt of symbolic violence on non-Western nations, who are seen as unfit or unable to …
Oil Wealth And Gender In Political And National Belonging, Caroline M. Bosworth
Oil Wealth And Gender In Political And National Belonging, Caroline M. Bosworth
Student Publications
Oil-based economies drive a connection between national identity and support for patriarchal belonging. Oil wealthy nations ensure that both men and women are excluded from political participation, and thus have a weak civil society. Through entrenching the population in the benefits of the oil economy, rentier states affirm that there is a high level of national identity. A weak civil society and the patriarchal nature of the oil wealth disenfranchises men and women, thus increasing women’s belief in the effectiveness of a male leader.

Naming Names: The Impact Of Supreme Court Opinion Attribution On Citizen Assessment Of Policy Outcomes, Scott S. Boddery, Laura P. Moyer, Jeff Yates
Political Science Faculty Publications
The manner in which political institutions convey their policy outcomes can have important implications for how the public views institutions' policy decisions. This paper explores whether the way in which the U.S. Supreme Court communicates its policy decrees affects how favorably members of the public assess its decisions. Specifically, we investigate whether attributing a decision to the nation's High Court or to an individual justice influences the public's agreement with the Court's rulings. Using an experimental design, we find that when a Supreme Court outcome is ascribed to the institution as a whole, rather than to a particular justice, people …
