Today’s local and state governments face a diverse array of challenges when meeting the needs of their communities. Issues surrounding immigration reform and control in these communities have become politically sensitive as states attempt to pass their own reform bills.

Show moreToday’s local and state governments face a diverse array of challenges when meeting the needs of their communities. Issues surrounding immigration reform and control in these communities have become politically sensitive as states attempt to pass their own reform bills. As states such as Arizona and Utah pass their own forms of immigration legislation the federal government and others believe that immigration legislation is solely a federal power. However, given that the federal government has failed to uphold and enforce its own immigration legislation the states should be allowed to create their own solutions to solve their specific problems. States and local communities retain a significant portion of the costs immigrants cause and should endeavor to create legislation to solve those problems in a constitutionally acceptable manner.

Abstract/Description
Since the economic crisis from 2007, an extensive debate matching unemployment and immigration has been central to conservative discourses. Although progressive organizations have been critical of the SB1070 law in Arizona for its pervasive racial profiling content, some individuals seem to ignore the strong history of legislation, cultural apparatus and social norms that were made to support white supremacy within the history of United States. As immigration comes to the American debate,...
Show moreSince the economic crisis from 2007, an extensive debate matching unemployment and immigration has been central to conservative discourses. Although progressive organizations have been critical of the SB1070 law in Arizona for its pervasive racial profiling content, some individuals seem to ignore the strong history of legislation, cultural apparatus and social norms that were made to support white supremacy within the history of United States. As immigration comes to the American debate, various politics adopted by the United States towards South American countries have been ignored. My objective with this research is to take a closer look at the artistic representations that, through mass media communications, have allowed the formation and solidification of “ethnosexual frontiers”1. By taking an interdisciplinary academic approach, I hope to make evident how the conceptualization of the “immigrant body” is fundamental to the establishment of fears that perpetuate segregation within American culture.

Abstract/Description
The world’s path to climate change is inevitable. Activists and legislators, all around the world, are actively working to slow down this process or stop changes. Technology is moving toward a sustainable future of renewable energy and resources to lighten the impact that the human population has on the climate. Whether or not these efforts will slow down the changing climate is unknown, but the world’s scientists, engineers, and designers are preparing for any scenario that comes our way....
Show moreThe world’s path to climate change is inevitable. Activists and legislators, all around the world, are actively working to slow down this process or stop changes. Technology is moving toward a sustainable future of renewable energy and resources to lighten the impact that the human population has on the climate. Whether or not these efforts will slow down the changing climate is unknown, but the world’s scientists, engineers, and designers are preparing for any scenario that comes our way. This thesis uses graphic design to visualize the future of humanity adapting to climate change. Topics that are explored include controlled-environment agriculture, vertical farming, sustainable food production, advancements in the medical industry, advancements in transportation, and sustainable energy production. These elements will come together, in my projects, to visualize one possible future of living in Arizona, where living conditions have become inhospitable for life as we know today.

Abstract/Description
In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, bereavement and grief have become two widely used terms in modern day society. The terms are often used interchangeably to describe a feeling of deep sorrow felt after the loss of a loved one. Often it can be difficult for individuals to cope with the loss of a loved one, and it is estimated that 20% of bereaved individuals will experience complicated grief (NAMI, 2021). Complicated grief, often referred to as a prolonged grief disorder, can be...
Show moreIn the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, bereavement and grief have become two widely used terms in modern day society. The terms are often used interchangeably to describe a feeling of deep sorrow felt after the loss of a loved one. Often it can be difficult for individuals to cope with the loss of a loved one, and it is estimated that 20% of bereaved individuals will experience complicated grief (NAMI, 2021). Complicated grief, often referred to as a prolonged grief disorder, can be defined in several ways. Today, the most widely accepted definition of complicated grief is grief that persists for longer than one year and significantly interrupts an individuals’ ability to complete daily functions (Cleveland Clinic, 2022). Each year, there are roughly 2.6 million deaths in the US alone, leaving behind approximately 13 million individuals (about twice the population of Arizona) to grieve (U.S. Census, 2021). A study conducted in 2019, surveyed 1,084 US adults and found that 32% had experienced grief following the death of a loved one in the past three years (The Grief Experience, 2019). Furthermore, of U.S. adults over the age of 65, 71% reported experiencing bereavement in the previous 30 months (Williams & Sawyer, 2017).

From borders to neighborhoods: explaining the shift toward state and local immigration law enforcement in the United States.

From borders to neighborhoods: explaining the shift toward state and local immigration law enforcement in the United States.
Creator

Abstract/Description
Immigration law enforcement has historically been a federal responsibility. The 1996 enactment of section §287 (g) of the Illegal Immigrant Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act represented a major change, allowing state and local officers to be trained to perform the legal functions of immigration officers through Memorandums of Understanding (MOAs) with the federal government. Despite this change, few states utilized the MOA process until after the terrorist attacks of September 11th,...
Show moreImmigration law enforcement has historically been a federal responsibility. The 1996 enactment of section §287 (g) of the Illegal Immigrant Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act represented a major change, allowing state and local officers to be trained to perform the legal functions of immigration officers through Memorandums of Understanding (MOAs) with the federal government. Despite this change, few states utilized the MOA process until after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. Following the attacks, there has been a steady increase in both the number of MOAs and other forms of local and state immigration enforcement (such as Arizona's SB 1070). This thesis argues that the shift toward local immigration policy activism is a result of the post-9111 political atmosphere, the repeated failure of comprehensive immigration reform, and the rise of new migrant destinations. An analysis of these factors points to the primarily symbolic nature of local immigration enforcement initiatives.
