To Be Not So Lonely: Support And Community Through Twitter Fan Accounts In The Harry Styles Fandom, Abigail Garrett
Honors College Theses
This study aims to examine the ways that fan accounts on social media foster community and fill the void of emotional engagement when the artist is not as active. It also looks at how fans’ parasocial relationships change when the subject of their emotional connection disappears. This study adds to previous research done on fandom, parasocial relationships, and social media. To perform this study, a close content analysis was done, focusing on one specific Harry Styles fan account on Twitter, @hsdaily.

Vivienne Westwood And The Socio-Political Nature Of Punk, Ashley Rosato
Honors College Theses
Punk fashion, which helped define the punk movement in the 1970s, has been ever changing as it adapts to modern times.

Tap Dance As A Nonverbal Language For Autism Spectrum Disorder, J Sydney Rhane Burtis
Tap Dance As A Nonverbal Language For Autism Spectrum Disorder, J Sydney Rhane Burtis
Honors College Theses
Through elements of sound and movement, tap dance employs rhythm as a universal language for nonverbal communication through the medium of music. Through three distinct but related elements, (a literature review, an artist’s statement, and a performance piece), this thesis will explore tap dance as a form of nonverbal language. For individuals with autism spectrum disorder, tap dance may help to achieve further attunement with themselves and the outside world. Due to autistic people’s impaired communicative, interactional, and skilled abilities, experiencing the relationships formed through tap dance may facilitate improvement. The literature review begins with a brief definition of nonverbal …
