Climate change is a global issue, and high rates of automobile usage contribute to substantial social, environmental, and economic issues.

All Dissertations

This dissertation critically reconceptualizes makeup participation as a legitimate, multidimensional form of recreation.

Findings reveal that makeup is consistently linked to confidence-building, emotional regulation, self-expression, and psychological …
