Institutional Choices Regarding Human Rights And Its Effect On Citizen Participation, Elle Jones
Institutional Choices Regarding Human Rights And Its Effect On Citizen Participation, Elle Jones
Research in the Capitol
Over centuries, one party has been unhappy, whereas the other has power. But what about the population as a whole? Government policy constantly changes, forcing citizens to change their relationship with it. An activist's involvement can include protests or changing voter turnout. Recent midterm elections are a perfect example. Voter turnout for Democrats led to underperformance in several red states. This is due to those who based their vote on the Dobbs decision when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade the summer before, despite Democratic approval ratings being 50% and Republican approval ratings leading by 3%. With many more …
Media Suppression In Africa And The Balkans - How Economic Distribution Impacts Freedom Of The Press On An International Level, Lindsey G. Ingraham
Media Suppression In Africa And The Balkans - How Economic Distribution Impacts Freedom Of The Press On An International Level, Lindsey G. Ingraham
INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference
Freedom of intellectual expression and media are human rights that the United Nations argues should be available to all people on Earth. However, we continue to see suppression of the media by various states across the globe. There is plenty of research that examines abuse of human rights, but there is a significant gap in the literature regarding what role economic distribution within a state plays. One of the most common measures of economic dispersion within states is the Gini Coefficient. This places states on a scale from 0, perfect income equality, to 1, perfect income inequality where all of …
Presidential Agenda Rhetoric In The State Of The Union Address: Obama And Trump, Danielle Goedken
Presidential Agenda Rhetoric In The State Of The Union Address: Obama And Trump, Danielle Goedken
INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference
Previous research has illustrated that presidents will make many promises along the campaign trail and those promises are what build their agenda and hopefully get them elected. Once elected their agenda continues to be built through speeches. Researchers have compiled the campaign promises of previous administrations and tracked the completion of those promises. They have both tracked the completion of promises and good faith attempts at completing promises. In this paper, I analyze good faith attempts at keeping the promise on their agenda through presidential rhetoric in State of the Union Addresses. Presidents speak to Congress and the public on …
The Gender Bias Burden On Business: Women’S Access To Credit In Bahrain [Poster], Sandra Thiman
The Gender Bias Burden On Business: Women’S Access To Credit In Bahrain [Poster], Sandra Thiman
Research in the Capitol
Entrepreneurship is essential to virtually every economy; however, Bahraini women face many challenges accessing business development. In particular, a major constraint for these women is their access to capital support. In 2020, the government signed a law prohibiting gender-based discrimination in access to credit to help the issue; nonetheless, its effectiveness has yet to be systematically examined. Using data from several sources, I test whether the law significantly affected the gender gap in borrowing for business purposes while controlling for other variables. Importantly, I find that women’s labor force participation is a significant factor in reducing the borrowing gap between …
Gender Performance And Political Identity At The Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, Emma E. Newton
Gender Performance And Political Identity At The Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, Emma E. Newton
Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) at UNI
The January 6th riot on the U.S. Capitol Building was heavily documented with recorded videos and photos, not just by mainstream news sources but by the rioters themselves. Rioters’ videos uploaded to social media, particularly the conservative-focused website Parler, provide a lens into performances of gender as they intersect with political identity, revealing new ways that communication studies scholars can understand how conservative arguments are constructed within gender performance. In this thesis, I rhetorically analyze rioters’ videos uploaded to Parler using a lens of hegemonic masculinity and emphasized femininity, and further outline a conservative masculine and feminine performance of the …
"It's Important To Just Have Your Voice Heard": Young Voters Changing Perceptions Of Political Efficacy [Poster], Christopher Matthew Merck
"It's Important To Just Have Your Voice Heard": Young Voters Changing Perceptions Of Political Efficacy [Poster], Christopher Matthew Merck
Research in the Capitol
Youth voter turnout in Iowa spiked in the 2018 midterm election. This paper attempts to figure out why. By replicating a 2004 study examining the voting behavior of young Iowans during the 2002 midterms, my study identified significant shifts in how young voters think and communicate about voting. After conducting 37 open-ended interviews with 18-24-year-olds, I found that although young people identified many of the same concerns in 2018 as they had in 2002, they were far more likely to vote. Respondents were more likely to identify the consummatory effects of voting, which in turn led to an increase in …

The State And Terrorism: Nigerian Immigrants’ Perspectives On Boko-Haram, Diane Orefo
The State And Terrorism: Nigerian Immigrants’ Perspectives On Boko-Haram, Diane Orefo
Annual Graduate Student Symposium
The Boko-Haram Islamic terrorism is one of the biggest security issues facing Nigeria. Today, many Nigerians live in dread of what Boko-Haram might do to them. Are Nigerians who have migrated to other lands equally concerned about Boko-Haram? I tried to answer this question in my research paper.
