Women, Stem, And Gender Differences In Higher Education Attainment, Amber Gauthier
Women, Stem, And Gender Differences In Higher Education Attainment, Amber Gauthier
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Discussions and investigations of gender differences in earnings and human capital have seen a resurgence recently, specifically as they relate to women in Science, Technology, Math, and Engineering (STEM). Previous research, including my own, has uncovered inequality in earnings. Here, using data from the U.S. Current Population Survey, I examine the relationship between gender and (i) earning a professional certification; and (ii) pursuing graduate education: both means of career advancement and economic mobility. Simple ordinary least squares indicates women are less likely than men to obtain a professional certification, though this effect disappears in the presence …

A New Rehabilitation Method For Stroke Patients: A Comparative Study Between The Pasta Matrix Reaching Task And The Novel Reaching Task, Shannon Maloney, Abigail Kerr, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. To promote better outcome for stroke survivors, scientists use animal models to understand basic mechanisms of stroke, rehabilitation, and recovery. Rodent models have revealed that skilled reach training (e.g., coordinated use of digits and limbs) promotes improved functional outcome following stroke. The single-pellet task (SPT) is widely used in rats; however, it can be an insensitive measure in other species, such as mice. The pasta matrix task (PMT) has been effectively implemented in mice; however, the task is limited by its required strength component. This study introduces a novel-reaching task aimed at …

Aesopian Language Of Soviet Era Children's Literature: Translation, Adaptation, And Animation Of Western Classics, Boryana Borisova, Marina Balina, Faculty Advisor

Soviet writers frequently used social critique encapsulated in the form of children’s stories since the beginnings of Soviet children’s literature in 1918. Translation became one outlet for Soviet authors, who for political reasons were pushed to the outskirts of the Soviet literary scene. Russian children’s authors adopted a special form of retelling the stories by retaining the plot line, but by tweaking the characters and original settings to make them more recognizable by the Russian readers. This art of retelling and resettling of western characters onto Soviet surroundings created a space for social critique that was distinguishable to a skillful …

Mother Goddesses And Subversive Witches: Competing Narratives Of Gender Essentialism, Heteronormativity, And Queerness In Wiccan Ritual And Theology, Carly Floyd, Meghan Burke, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Wicca is typically recognized as a feminist and queer-friendly religion embraced by many women and LGBTQ+ people. While women are undoubtedly emphasized positively, however, I argue that much of the focus is in fact a form of benevolent sexism, coming out of an essentialist understanding of women’s nature being nurturing, intuitive, and emotional. The resulting heteronormativity and its procreative focus can create an exclusionary environment for gay men and women as well as for transgender and genderfluid or non-binary individuals. My research utilizes ethnographic participantobservation of a local Wiccan coven and semi-structured qualitative interviews with Wiccans and Pagans from across …
