On the Internet, No One Knows You\u27re A Researcher

Basing this presentation around her previously conducted research on IRBS and their reviews of internet research, Elizabeth Buchanan will describe some of the current trends in online research, from survey tools to online interviewing to data repositories. She will focus particular attention to the ideas of consent, public and private spaces and data, and research integrity itself

Warfare and the Materialization of Daily Life at the Mississippian Common Field Site

Thesis (Ph.D.) - Indiana University, Anthropology, 2015As a period of relative peace associated with the founding of the Cahokia polity dissolved around AD 1150-1200, Mississippians living at Cahokia constructed fortifications, large portions of the population left the city, and walled compounds at the nearby East St. Louis site were destroyed in a large-scale conflagration event. Analyses and interpretations of the evidence for violence and warfare in the Mississippian Midwest have traditionally focused on the most overt manifestations of those phenomena: fortified community spaces, physical traumata, and symbols of violence like warriors, weapons of war, and severed body parts. However, historic and ethnographic accounts of peoples' lives and experiences during periods of war highlight that violence during politically and socially tumultuous times impacted the daily practices of wide swaths of people living in these societies. Carolyn Nordstrom (1997) advocates the telling of "a different kind of war story," one that focuses on human experiences, tragedies, and creativity in light of threats of danger. The Common Field site was founded by people leaving the Cahokia region during this period of political fragmentation and escalating violence. Shortly after settling at the site, the inhabitants constructed a fortification. A later catastrophic conflagration resulted in the burning of hundreds of structures, the destruction of a community, and the complete abandonment of the site. In this dissertation, I propose a theoretical and methodological framework for studying the intersections of violence and daily practices in archaeological contexts through an exploration of micro-scale actions (such as those enacted in histories of practices and embodied knowledge of technological processes) and macro-scale regional histories and practices in order to elucidate the multiple contexts and effects of violence and warfare in the past and their impacts on peoples' lived experiences. The data from Common Field demonstrate that the inhabitants of this site were engaged in processes of hybridity (with regards to ceramic technological practices and decorative techniques), moved resource procurement practices away from riverine contexts, and oriented themselves in new ways towards other regional communities and the supernatural realm

Campus and consortium in an era of large-scale research: An historical study of the Virginia Associated Research Center, 1962-1967

A large agency of the Federal Government, three public institutions of higher learning, and two agents of State Government in the Commonwealth of Virginia launched a federally funded research and education consortium in 1962. The Virginia Associated Research Center (VARC) promised great success. The University of Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and The College of William and Mary joined forces to provide the National Aeronautics and Space Administration\u27s Langley Research Center with a scientific research base and a graduate education program. The Commonwealth initially provided enthusiastic support from the Governor\u27s office and from the State Council for Higher Education.;The three colleges agreed to cooperatively manage and operate the NASA Space Radiation Effects Laboratory on the Virginia Lower Peninsula. NASA funded the costs of operating the laboratory, gave the colleges research time for experiments and provided the colleges with large multidisciplinary grants. In return, the colleges were to set up graduate education programs for NASA employees. These graduate programs were to grant degrees from the respective institutions for course work taken at the VARC site on the Peninsula. The research function of the consortium proved to be more productive than the education function.;Certain criteria for successful and unsuccessful consortia were ascertained from the literature. VARC\u27s characteristics were analyzed according to these specific criteria. The three institutions could not agree on how to operate the facility. Inherently weak governance structures in the consortium led to the failure of the venture; after only five years, the consortium dissolved. The Governor of Virginia placed the Center under the auspices of the college nearest the Peninsula, The College of William and Mary. Though unsuccessful as a consortium, VARC became a means to achievement for the three colleges. Each of the three gained stronger, more reputable physics departments and two of the institutions achieved modern university status. A qualitative analysis emerges as the consortium\u27s operation and characteristics unfold through oral history. The study details circumstances which led to VARC\u27s demise and simultaneously describes a key transitional period for The College of William and Mary in its three hundred year history

An Introspective Enquiry Mutually Emplacing Teacher and Non-literate Former Refugee Students in Pedagogical Landscapes

Searching to discover what it is that is in the self that is brought to the teaching role this study transports the teacher along a lived experience trajectory. Assuming an interface stance as teacher-learner, researcher-interpreter, narrator-writer, to find insightful meaning the inquiry glances back as it moves forward, emplacing the teacher with adult former refugee students in an empowering landscape that engenders self-learning and respect for diversity within a culture of education

Physical And Psychological Outcome Measures After Multiple Foot Surgeries: A Case Report

The psychological effects of an injury have the potential to be more debilitating than the physical ailments themselves. Physical therapy (PT) rehabilitation programs that incorporate both physical and psychological interventions have demonstrated successful outcomes but have not been widely studied. The purpose of this case report was to investigate both the physical and psychological outcomes after a comprehensive PT rehabilitation program for a patient who sustained multiple foot and ankle injuries.https://dune.une.edu/pt_studcrposter/1113/thumbnail.jp

Supporting the Success of Service Learning Initiatives in Higher Education

<div>The work presented here stems from a four-year, National Science Foundation-funded project, designed to investigate the use of humanitarian service learning in education including a specific focus on international service learning and the work of Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB). As part of this work, our research team has conducted interviews or focus groups with a total of 42 students, 12 faculty, and 12 professional volunteers or mentors involved in EWB. One of the recurring themes that has emerged from these interviews is that, in most cases, the work that goes into creating and maintaining service learning opportunities receives little institutional support, both from a faculty and student perspective.</div><div><br></div><div><i>Presented at the Polytechnic Summit, 6 June 2018 in Lima, Peru.</i><br></div
