Title: OF RACE AND RESISTANCE: INSIDE AND OUT OF ETHNIC LIVES IN MODERN LITERATURE OF THE AMERICAS.
Creator: Martin, Dyanne K., Esquilín Gosser, Mary Ann, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Languages, Linguistics and Comparative Literature, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description: Race is a pressing issue that pervades discussions of public policy and societal matters in twenty-first century national cultures—even as those populations, paradoxically, turn toward increasing globalization. We need to understand now, more than ever, what race means to us and how and why it means in order for us to understand our deep investments in it.

Show moreRace is a pressing issue that pervades discussions of public policy and societal matters in twenty-first century national cultures—even as those populations, paradoxically, turn toward increasing globalization. We need to understand now, more than ever, what race means to us and how and why it means in order for us to understand our deep investments in it. This study explores—through the genres of slave narrative, fiction, and memoir—the process of socio-semiogenesis by which people recognize and perform race; it also examines the customs that allow people not only to form themselves in groups but also to disrupt, remediate, and invert the implicit racial codes that govern human interaction within and among such groups. This study offers a Peircean, triadic approach to the dialectics of race—an approach that seeks to find a space in which dialogue and healing might occur even as it sheds light on those shades of biology and culture that both form and divide us.

Title: FROM INK TO SCREEN: GENDER AND RACE IN AGENT CARTER, JESSICA JONES, AND WYNONNA EARP.
Creator: DiBlasi, Samantha, Scodari, Christine, Florida Atlantic University, School of Communication and Multimedia Studies, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description: Throughout history, women in comics have played subordinate or lesser roles compared to males and were stereotyped. Today, representations have improved in comic-based tv shows. This thesis is answering three research questions: How does one define a “strong female character” within the comic-based and comic-styled genres, specifically in the TV shows Jessica Jones, Agent Carter, and Wynonna Earp?

Show moreThroughout history, women in comics have played subordinate or lesser roles compared to males and were stereotyped. Today, representations have improved in comic-based tv shows. This thesis is answering three research questions: How does one define a “strong female character” within the comic-based and comic-styled genres, specifically in the TV shows Jessica Jones, Agent Carter, and Wynonna Earp? How does race/gender intersectionality affect the ways in which the non-white characters express masculinity or femininity compared to the white characters? How do the videos made by fans of the three tv series define a “strong female character?” This study applies textual and participatory cultures analyses. It is interdisciplinary and uses theories from different areas. This research finds that Agent Carter, Jessica Jones, and Wynonna Earp simultaneously reinforce and challenge stereotypes such as emphasized femininity, hegemonic masculinity and the “Black Buck.” Future research might examine white stereotypes with the white heroines.

Title: The effect of aerodynamic posture on work of breathing in cyclists.
Creator: Hilbert, Scott Charles., Florida Atlantic University, O'Kroy, Joseph A.
Abstract/Description: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an aerodynamic racing posture on the work of breathing during cycling. Nine moderately trained cyclists performed three maximal exercise tests on a cycle ergometer using three different commonly used riding positions. The positions used were vertical (V) with back upright and perpendicular to the ground, horizontal (H) with the upper third of the back parallel to the ground and elbows on the "aero-bars," and with hands on the drop bars...
Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an aerodynamic racing posture on the work of breathing during cycling. Nine moderately trained cyclists performed three maximal exercise tests on a cycle ergometer using three different commonly used riding positions. The positions used were vertical (V) with back upright and perpendicular to the ground, horizontal (H) with the upper third of the back parallel to the ground and elbows on the "aero-bars," and with hands on the drop bars and back at a 45-degree angle to the ground (45). Total work of breathing (WOB), oxygen consumption (VO$\sb2$), tidal volume (V$\sb{\rm T}$), minute ventilation (V$\sb{\rm E}$), and breathing frequency (f) were measured. There were no significant differences in WOB, VO$\sb2$, V$\sb{\rm T}$ V$\sb{\rm E}$, or f between any position at 70% of maximal exercise or at maximal exercise. Therefore, an aerodynamic posture is not associated with an increased work of breathing in cyclists.

Show moreThis phenomenological study examined the experiences of Black male alumni in higher education to gain an in-depth understanding of the aspects that facilitated or impeded their desire to persist to degree completion. This study situated the internal and external aspects that supported or inhibited Black male persistence. And, this study examined how Black male alumni navigate race and racism in higher education. Critical race theory (CRT) is used in this study to examine the lived experiences of Black male alumni at predominately white institutions (PWIs) in higher education. The focus on alumni aids in implementing an anti-deficit approach to highlight Black male success. Anti-deficit research rejects the perpetuation of at-risk research, which presents Black males as incapable of thought production, lazy, criminal and violent. Instead, an antideficit approach illuminates Black male academic achievement and is strategic in replicating success for future Black male collegians. This approach was deemed necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of Black male alumni at PWIs.

Title: EXAMING THE EFFECT OF RACE ON WRONGFUL CONVICTION COMPENSATION.

Show moreWrongful convictions have occurred throughout the United States’, but it was not until the creation of the Innocence Project in 1992 that these cases were re-examined. Like other facets of the criminal justice system, racial disparities are present in exoneration research. Studies have found the rate of exoneration is slower for African Americans compared to other races and represent a disproportionate number of rape exonerations relative to their share of the population. Actual compensation is rarely included in analysis, because total compensation awarded has been a black box till now. This is the first study addressing these gaps, by calculating actual compensation for wrongfully convicted sexual assault exonerees and examine racial disparities between awarded compensation. Findings indicate African American exonerees receive significantly more, around $574,657, compared to white exonerees. Implications include evaluating interrogation techniques, updating DNA databases, testing forensic evidence, and calling for states and territories to have compensation statutes.

Show moreThe Trayvon Martin shooting of 2013 and the Michael Brown shooting of 2014 by a White security guard and White police officer sequentially led to the Black Lives Matter movement which has grown internationally to 40 chapters. Police agencies have responded with active community outreach programs to proactively reduce conflict. The question arises whether a language of peace such as Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication would be an effective tool to be used in instances of conflict similar to the carnage involving Black men and White police officers between 2013-2017. Local members of the Black community, Black Lives Matter, and law enforcement were interviewed asking the efficacy of Rosenberg’s NVC and deliberative dialogue as well. The study showed that since Blacks and Whites view racism differently, a more comprehensive approach is needed to address the challenges of racism and race relations. This thesis describes the possible use of a few models structured to discuss the racial conflict between all parties affected by racism.

Title: The timing of growth spurts in Neanderthals.
Creator: Lupo, Amy C., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
Abstract/Description: The timing of skeletal growth spurts in modern humans is unique among mammals. In modern humans, peak growth occurs after puberty during the adolescent period, whereas large-bodied non-human primates exhibit an earlier juvenile growth spurt. Based on limited data, previous researchers have suggested that Neanderthals experienced a late, modern human-like adolescent growth spurt.

In modern humans, peak growth occurs after puberty during the adolescent period, whereas large-bodied non-human primates exhibit an earlier juvenile growth spurt. Based on limited data, previous researchers have suggested that Neanderthals experienced a late, modern human-like adolescent growth spurt. In this study, I examined the timing of stature and facial growth spurts in Neanderthals to test the hypothesis that Neanderthals grew like modern humans. In order to assess the timing of Neanderthal growth spurts, I plotted a non-human primate regression estimate of age at puberty onto Neanderthal stature and mandibular velocity growth curves. The mandibular growth curve exhibits a discernible growth spurt after puberty, reminiscent of the modern human adolescent growth spurt. Future research on additional regions of the skeleton is necessary to further refine this estimate for the timing of Neanderthal growth spurts.

Title: Prison privatization in the United States: a new strategy for racial control.

Show moreThere has been a stunning build-up of prisons and a growing trend in prison privatization in the last 30 years, including the rise of maximum security units. The goal of my dissertation is to understand the ideological, historic, political, and economic processes behind the changes in the criminal justice system of the United States. I analyze this problem from multiple angles—labor and policy history, discourse and public opinion, and race in America. The aim of this analysis is to uncover the reasons why crime legislation became progressively more punitive, reaction to African Americans gains in post-Civil Rights more hostile, and the manifold ways in which these phenomena drive the expansion of the prison system and its increasing privatization. In the process of this expansion, a racial caste system which oppresses young African Americans and people of color has become recast and entrenched. Specifically, I offer the notion that in the last three decades, punitive crime legislation focused on African Americans and served to deal with labor needs and racial conflict with harsher penal legislation; in doing so, it depoliticized race, institutionalized racial practices, and served the interests of private prison businesses in new ways oppressive ways. Using interdisciplinary methods which weave together qualitative and quantitative analysis, I find that punitive crime policies in the last thirty years used the concept of crime as political currency by government officials in order to appear tough on crime, and by business representatives interested in exploiting the prison industry. The conflation of business and political interests, and the recasting of crime as a race problem, served to taint public institutions and media dissemination with racist imperatives which stereotyped poor African Americans. The end result is a constant re-positioning of young black males as fodder for economic exploitation. The dissertation also addresses the high cost of imprisonment and the multiple social problems brought from shifting inmates from wards of the State to profit-making opportunities in the hands of private entrepreneurs. The result is high numbers of recidivism, and a growing underclass of people who will always be unemployed or underemployed and return to low income communities that suffer from the endless cycle of poverty and imprisonment.

Title: THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF PRINCIPALS HIRING AND RETAINING TEACHERS FOR HIGH POVERTY MINORITY SCHOOLS.

Show moreHaving an effective teacher in a school is paramount because they significantly influence student achievement (Shaw & Newton, 2014). Not having this vital resource contributes to the achievement gap between White and minority students. This phenomenological study examined the lived experiences of ten principals with hiring and retaining teachers for schools with a large percentage of minority students from low-income households who also struggle academically. All principals share a common experience – they receive a federal grant, Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF), which is additional funding for bonuses to hire and retain teachers and provide professional support. The study includes research that provides context to the factors that contribute to the teacher shortage problem within schools with this specific student demographic and the way in which this impacts the inequitable distribution of qualified instructors. The research also contains literature which informed the study's theoretical framework - Critical Race Theory and Theory of Oppression and the concepts of leadership practices, asset-based thinking, and teacher motivation. The researcher found that the principals experience anxiety filling vacant positions due to teacher shortage. There were three prominent themes that framed the findings: Hiring Teachers, Retaining Teachers, and Teacher Shortage. Principals experience challenges with employing teachers because of their negative perceptions of the students. Most of the teachers they hire are Black and Hispanic, and the Teacher Incentive Fund grant did not help attract teachers to accept a position, but it helped retain them. The principals work arduously to keep teachers by giving them support and creating a positive school culture, in addition, most of them find that Black and Hispanic teachers remain at the school more than White teachers.

Performance capacity was operationalized by the following objective measures for pre-riot "normal" times: quality of manpower potential, municipal governmental structure, confrontation potential, and potential resources of the community. Additional independent variables were the city's total population and socio-economic measures of absolute and relative deprivation. Although the results were not conclusive, only a community's confrontation potential, potential resources , and total population size were found to significantly contribute to an explanation of a community's riot potential.

The purpose of this study is to understand the racial socialization experiences of Black women college students and how these experiences impact how they engage in private and public spaces. The following research questions will guide this study: 1. How are Black women college students racially socialized at PWIs? 2. How do Black women college students enrolled at PWIs engage in private and public spaces? Gaps in the literature focus on how Black women in college engage in spaces where they are the minority and how these experiences impact their overall matriculation into higher education (Porter et al., 2020). Intersectionality (Collins, 2019; Crenshaw, 1989; Porter et al., 2020) were used to guide this dissertation study of how Black women college students experience racial socialization and engage in spaces at PWIs. This study is a significant contribution to the literature as one of the few studies that seek to understand the complexity of intersecting systems of society that impact the experiences and lives of Black women at PWIs. The findings of this study showed that Black women college students experience racism and microaggressions that impact the way in which they engage private and public spaces at PWIs.

My study shows how Carpentier and Roumain incorporate the "black subject" in their narratives tin order to generate a national identity to be used as an weapon against U.S. influence in their countries. I also analyze how the characterizations of these "black subjects" in ¡Ecue Yamba O! and Gouverneurs de la rosee, function within the Cuban and Haitian nationalist ideologies of the time period.

Cadence was randomly selected and fixed for each TT (60 or 100 rpm) while power output (PO) was adjusted by the participant, as tolerated. Finish time, HR, blood lactate, PO, VO2, and RPE were measured throughout the time trials. The major finding of this study was the significantly faster (p<0.05) finish time (minutes) during the 60 rpm condition (34:23) versus the 100 rpm condition (37:34). Also the 60 rpm TT resulted in significant (p<0.05) differences for HR (155.9 vs 161.2 bpm), gross efficiency (21.1% vs 17.7%), and PO (147 vs 129 watts). These results indicate that novice female cyclists benefit from adopting a low cadence during an 8k TT.

Show moreRuPaul's Drag Race is one of the few realilty television shows focusing on QLGBT (queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) identified individuals that has made it into mainstream consciousness. Drag Race provides a unique perspective on the ways that gender identity, sexuality, size, class, race, and ethnicity intersect and interact in people's lives.The television show augments many of these intersedtions and the challenges related to these identities while still reflecting the daily struggles that people experience.The show works to promote messages of self-love and acceptance ; however, it also promotes many problematic and damaging stereotypes. This thesis conducts a feminist analysis in order to answer the question: How does RuPaul's Drag Race relate to hegemonic and oppressive stereotypes and roles associated with gender identity, sexual orientation, size, class, race and ethnicity? Does it challenge or reinforce such hegemonies? In order to answer these questions, this thesis examines visual imagery, narrative, and dialogue in the show, utilizes theories from cultural and women's studies, English and communications. It concludes that although Drag Race does engage in some subversive behavior, it ultimately reinforces harmful hegemonic stereotypes.
