Dreaming in public: the testimonios of four undocumented college students

This work is a collaboration between the researcher and four undocumented young people: two college students and two recent college graduates. The centerpiece of the collection consists of the testimonios of the narrators in which they tell their stories of being undocumented in the United States. These are preceded by a study of U.S. immigration policy and literary critical accounts of the genre of testimonio. They are succeeded by reflections on the testimonios, the importance of collaborative research, and how the project transformed the researcher’s understanding of both the political and academic work. The study concludes that in such academic research the product should be modeled to serve the goals of its participants who represent a community outside of the academy, rather than those of academic experts alone

Process of keeping creative expression and artistic freedom unencumbered and uncensored: a study of student actors in the musical [title of show]

Creativity and the ability to freely devise and express are human capacities recognized to be highly important in today’s world. Yet, while many champion these qualities, modern society continually makes achieving them a laborious process, riddled with the pressure of success and commercial marketability. Two years of researching and devising educational methodologies surrounding the use of theatre as a tool for the development of students’ unbridled creativity, expression, and self-efficacy have led me to ask the following questions of this process: Can students achieve authentic creative self-expression inside the confines of portraying a pre-written character? How does one freely express oneself using the words of another? Within these parameters, how can the student gain insight to and mastery of their own artistic freedom? In mounting a production of the musical, [title of show], I set out to mirror the authors’ own intentions to create with artistic integrity using a group of student actors. How could I expose each student’s authentic self on stage and help them achieve unencumbered, unfiltered, and undiluted creative expression as an artist? This thesis details the process used to answer these questions and realize this goal

The call of the sirens: The women who support the Fremantle Dockers

Australian Football and sport in general is a large part of the Australian culture. In the past men have dominated most aspects of sport as participants, spectators and administrators. Women have fulfilled a submissive role supporting men\u27s sporting pursuits. However, the role of women is more significant and football clubs are recognising the importance of this membership segment by creating clubs within clubs to cater for the needs of female members. This study examined the reasons why women enjoy watching men\u27s sport and if there are specific reasons why they joined a women-only supporter club of a male sport. A census of the Sirens. the women-only supporter club of the Fremantle Dockers Football Club was completed using a self-administered questionnaire. A 58 percent response rate was achieved. The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The qualitative data responses to open-ended questions were analysed using thematic and content analysis. Demographic characteristics revealed women who were older than expected employed professionally and predominantly of Australian or British origin. The Sirens\u27 dedication to the Fremantle Dockers team and Fremantle Football Club as a whole was the main reason for women\u27s membership of the supporter club. While social activities were enjoyable more satisfaction was derived from activities associated to the game of Australian football. The findings suggested that the Sirens preference was not for men\u27s sport generally but for the Australian Football League specifically

Using electronic information resources: a study of end-user training needs and methods in selected public university libraries in Malaysia

This research investigated the library end-users' perceptions of their training needs in relation to using the electronic information resources in selected public universities in Malaysia. It also investigated the training methods preferred by end-users in learning how to use electronic information resources. The subjects of the study were university students and academic staff from three selected public universities in Malaysia. They comprised 433 students and 223 academic staff. This study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods. The main data was gathered through self-administered questionnaires, while the supplementary data was gathered through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Opinions from the librarians responsible for end-user training at the three university libraries were also sought through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Comparisons were made between the two groups of end-users, namely, students and academic staff in areas related to the problems of the study. Appropriate non-parametric statistical techniques such as cross-tabulation, chisquare test, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation test were applied in analysing the data measured at both nominal and ordinal scales. Among the major findings were: (1) a statistically significant differences were found between students and academic staff in terms of knowledge and ability in using electronic information resources. Many academic staff were more knowledgable and able to use electronic information resources than students. However, concerning knowledge in using certain IT facilities, many more students than academic staff knew how to use them; and (2) both students and academic staff preferred one-to-one training methods as their first choice. With regard to the second choice of training method, students preferred computerassisted instruction (CAI), while academic staff preferred library workshops with hands-on training. Recommendations based on the research findings were made
