"All the news that's fit to print"

"This study uses critical discourse analysis to examine the ways in which one preeminent newspaper, The New York Times, contributed to the social construction of the American immigrant between 1892 and 1924, when Ellis Island operated as the nation's primary federal immigration station. Hypotheses were informed by Foucault's understanding of the enmeshment of power relations in discourse as well as by Blumer's group position model, while theoretical concepts were operationalized using van Dijk's understanding of the reproduction of racism by the media and Boreus' identification of linguistic expressions of discrimination. Results indicate that immigrants were typically undervalued and considered inferior; more notably, only lower class travelers were identified as immigrants and more affluent travelers were neither informally identified as immigrants nor formally counted as immigrants by the federal government until 1903. Moreover, assimilation and conformity were considered to be the only acceptable behaviors for immigrants in the United States."--Abstract from author supplied metadata

Connecting Chemistry to Community with Deliberative Democracy

Science education communities have called for rethinking curricula to improve student understanding of the nature of science and the role of science in addressing controversial modern issues such as climate change, energy policy, and pollution levels. One approach to meeting this call is integrating these topics into class activities that require students to use discussion and scientific approaches to solve problems and deliberate potential policy solutions. Deliberative democracy (DD) is one such active learning approach in which students work in peer groups to reach a consensus on a scientific topic relevant to both real-world issues and course content. During DD modules, students are asked to explore both the scientific data and public perception surrounding a topic by reading related peer-reviewed and media articles. Students evaluate the information provided by these sources, have the opportunity to research their own sources, deliberate in groups, and arrive at an evidence-supported position on a science policy. There are some examples in the literature of using DD in nonmajors science courses, and recently Portland State University (PSU) began incorporating DD modules into both on-sequence and off-sequence general chemistry courses for science majors enrolling between 60 and 200 students. This chapter provides background on DD, explains how DD has been adapted for majors-level general chemistry at PSU, highlights perceptions of DD by students and instructors, and describes how feedback from PSU students and instructors is informing future DD implementation at PSU

Papers of Regis A. Factor [finding aid]

When he joined the faculty in 1973, Regis A. Factor (1937-1999) became the first professor of political science permanently appointed to University of South Florida St. Petersburg. Factor received a bachelor of arts in Economics from Washington and Jefferson College in Pennsylvania in 1959. After serving with the Unites States Army, he earned a masters of arts in International Studies from The Johns Hopkins University, spending one year studying in Bologna, Italy. He continued his education, first, on an exchange at the University of Bonn, Germany, and then completing his PhD in Political Science at the University of Notre Dame. His pursuit of knowledge did not end with this prestigious degree. He was the first faculty member at USF St. Petersburg to receive a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Factor served as a professor of political science, politics, and government at USF St. Petersburg. These materials include syllabi, lecture notes, and papers written by Factor
