Gender Through Time And Culture, Kate Wick
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
Gender has been viewed as fluid through time. Different identities existed in communities across the globe. How gender is viewed in a western mindset can affect our perceptions of the past. The gender binary that’s been applied so strongly today is an outdated European concept. This binary brings gender roles, which have their own assumptions tied to them. This paper will define many known terms surrounding gender, as well as contemporary gender identities. This will be a look into alternate identities in Native American communities, Native Hawaiians, the Philippines as well as in India, both pre-colonial and post-colonial. Other locations …

Adapting To Challenges: K-12 Education In The Time Of Covid, Connor Farrand
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
During the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the disruptions across society were both intense and varying along pre-existing structural and social lines of inequity, especially in the US. Research has shown that this pattern was particularly true in the context of K-12 education. To assess when, why, and how school districts and charter management organizations (CMOs) chose to adopt and execute new policies for the delivery of education during the pandemic, I review existing theories of organizational inertia and analyze four general characteristics of school districts/CMOs for their ability to predict districts’ likelihood of implementing new instructional delivery …

Throughout its history, the discipline’s purpose and objectives have been contested. A conflict between subdisciplines regarding approaches and desired research outcomes hinders the creation of a comprehensive disciplinary framework. Yet, division is inevitable given the objects of Political Science’s study – people and power. The discipline is having an identity crisis. To illustrate this, Political Science is compared to …
Don't Judge Me: Declining Judicial Independence In Hungary And Poland, Jonathan Freeberg
Don't Judge Me: Declining Judicial Independence In Hungary And Poland, Jonathan Freeberg
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
What can the Hungarian and Polish experiences teach us about the processes of decreasing judicial independence, and how does a decrease in judicial independence affect judicial trust and quality of governance? This paper process-traces the erosion of judicial independence in Hungary and Poland from 1989-2021, highlighting different mechanisms that lead to decreases in judicial autonomy. The cases show that formal reforms and informal changes to the membership of the judiciary are both effective at decreasing the independence of the judiciary. The data does not support that these changes lead to significant changes in judicial independence or quality of governance. The …
