Urbanely Chained: Issues Within A City, Esther Shittu
Capstones
Each city in the United States bears its own burdens. In New York, one glaring burden is transportation, the second is the criminal justice system that seems to be packaged into one main facility: Rikers Island. The video and animation below explore these two issues. In Urbanely Chained: 219 West, the problems are examined within the scope of a television news magazine show. In Urbanely Chained: Gladiator Island History, the deep-rooted history of Rikers is explored.
Every month, students in the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism produce a news magazine show that highlights different human interest stories. As a …

Politically-Connected Nonprofit Makes Millions Putting Homeless Families In Unsafe Homes, Benjamin Foldy

A document-driven investigation into the city’s largest recipient of homelessness funds uncovered the group’s dense political connections, questionable practices regarding subcontracting to for-profit affiliated entities and systematically subpar housing provided to homeless families. https://medium.com/@ben.foldy/politically-connected-nonprofit-makes-millions-putting-homeless-families-in-unsafe-homes-309314c2eed2

Offset: How The Government Improperly Takes Money From The Disabled, Carmen Reinicke
Capstones
The US Department of Education is supposed to use its computers to match its borrowers who now suffer from total permanent disabilities based on Social Security or Veteran Administration rolls. If the borrower has been disabled for more than five consecutive years, then deductions for unpaid student loans are supposed to cease.
A report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, a federal agency that reviews government work, shows that the program, now a computerized system that matches Social Security numbers, fails to identify thousands of individuals who deserve student debt relief.

Telling The Good News, Allyson R. Escobar
Capstones
In light of recent clergy abuse scandals, cover-ups and leadership shake-downs, it is a divided time in the Catholic Church: but this isn’t the whole story. My final capstone project is a critical essay of how Catholicism (and religion overall) is represented in mainstream media--particularly in secular news publications and entertainment (horror films) in the United States. By examining the coverage and how conversations differ within members of the Catholic Church--from journalists and critics to active Catholics, religious men and women--this project calls for greater accountability, fairness, faith representation in all media, and the overall claim that there are Catholic …

The Saint of the Sick and the Poor
One man’s mission to celebrate his Mexican village saint here in NYC, for those who can’t go back home
By Itzel Castro
New York City, United States — Amid an altar covered with offerings of marigold flowers, stands a porcelain statue of San Lucas. Known also as “Luke the Evangelist,” the three feet tall figurine is dressed in intricately-designed vestments, made of real red silk and covered with crucifix patterns woven in gold thread. A crown on its head glimmers under the lights.
“He is the saint of the village,” said Alejandro …

Stealth Democracy: Authoritarianism And Democratic Deliberation, Peter Muhlberger
Stealth Democracy: Authoritarianism And Democratic Deliberation, Peter Muhlberger
University of Nebraska Public Policy Center: Publications
In Stealth Democracy, Hibbing and Theiss-Morse seek to show that much of the American public desires "stealth democracy"--a democracy run like a business with little deliberation or public input. The authors maintain that stealth democracy beliefs are largely reasonable preferences, and the public does not want and would react negatively to a more deliberative democracy. This paper introduces an opposing "authoritarian stealth democrats thesis" that suggests that stealth democracy beliefs may be driven by authoritarianism and a variety of related orientations including poor political perspective taking and low cognitive engagement. These orientations may be ameliorated through democratic deliberation. Hypotheses are …
New Arms Trade Treaty Will Change The Way Canada Does Business: The New International Arms Trade Treaty (Att) Requires Canada To Amend Its Export Regulations And Report All Sales Including To Unsavoury Regimes, Erika Simpson
Political Science Publications
The article discusses Canada's adherence to the new Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), emphasizing amendments to export regulations and the necessity to report all sales, including those to contentious regimes. It highlights the dilemma surrounding Canada's largest arms deal with Saudi Arabia for light armoured vehicles (LAVs), initiated under the Harper government and continued despite international scrutiny post-Khashoggi incident. Senators in Ottawa face the challenge of balancing economic interests with ethical considerations under Bill C-47, aiming to align Canadian policies with stringent ATT guidelines. The article underscores the pivotal role of oversight and transparency in shaping Canada's future arms trade policies …
Prescribing The Impossible: State Ideals Of Intensive Parenting, Francesca Vescia
Prescribing The Impossible: State Ideals Of Intensive Parenting, Francesca Vescia
Sociology Honors Projects
The state is a powerful force in private life; families that challenge its framework face erasure or sanction. From what ideals do these families deviate? This paper investigates that question in relation to childrearing. Through a content analysis of three court-approved parenting courses for separating or divorcing parents, I explore what constitutes proper parenting in the eyes of the state. Drawing from the literature on ideologies of family and self, I find courses 1) make efforts to explicitly challenge dominant ideologies of family and parenting while implicitly naturalizing them and 2) grapple to reconcile the logics of intensive parenting and …

An Evaluation Of Deferred Time-Out, Abigail Kennedy
An Evaluation Of Deferred Time-Out, Abigail Kennedy
Theses & Dissertations
Although substantial research has shown time-out to be an effective treatment for children’s problem behavior, time-out resistance (i.e., failure to go to time-out, escape from time-out, as well as negative vocalizations and aggression occurring between the time-out instruction and the completion of time-out) has the potential to decrease time-out’s suppressive effect, increase use of more intrusive and effortful administrative methods and escape contingencies, and negatively affect parental adherence. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of deferred time-out (DTO) on time-out resistance in a clinic and home setting. In addition, this research provided a preliminary evaluation …
The Influence Of Engaging Centralized Student Support On The Academic Achievement Of Student Veterans, Paul Morgan
The Influence Of Engaging Centralized Student Support On The Academic Achievement Of Student Veterans, Paul Morgan
Dissertations, 2014-2019
As more veterans and service members enroll in higher education, institutions are investing greater resources in the establishment and enhancement of centers to support them. However, little is known about the outcomes associated with utilization of the centers. Furthermore, researchers have consistently aggregated veterans and service members under “student veterans” with little regard for potential differences. Using regression analyses and analysis of variance, this case study explored the effect of visits to a veterans center on grade point average (GPA), the effect of academic need on frequency of visits, and differences in academic achievement for different types of military-affiliated students. …
An Exploration Of A Mentoring Program On The Experiences Of African-American Students At A Predominately White Institution, Cierra Davis
An Exploration Of A Mentoring Program On The Experiences Of African-American Students At A Predominately White Institution, Cierra Davis
Dissertations, 2014-2019
Many African-American college students face struggles that make a successful college career and retention difficult or impossible. Financial struggles, lack of preparation, racial climate on campus and nationally and absence of faculty of color plague the lives of students. Being an African-American student at a Predominately White Institution (PWI) can pose additional challenges. Many minority students report experiencing various acts of prejudice including lack of nurturing and resources to help them adjust successfully. Students also report the absence or scarcity of minorities in the faculty, curriculum and population as a barrier to connection, knowledge and support. Considering the important role …
Effectiveness Of High-Fidelity Human Patient Simulation In Learning To Manage Medically-Complex Infants, Erin Clinard
Effectiveness Of High-Fidelity Human Patient Simulation In Learning To Manage Medically-Complex Infants, Erin Clinard
Dissertations, 2014-2019
Survival of preterm and medically-complex infants has dramatically increased over the past thirty years due to significant advances in medical care and technology, however the developmental costs of survival are substantial. Comprehensive care of premature babies is critical and there is a need for more neonatal therapists, including speech-language pathologists (SLPs), with the knowledge and confidence to provide that care.
Students in graduate SLP programs often receive little clinical experience or dedicated coursework in pediatric feeding and swallowing, especially with medically-complex infants. However, hands-on and experiential learning can support the development of the necessary foundational knowledge and confidence of students …
The Art Of Couple Satisfaction, Kristy Koser
The Art Of Couple Satisfaction, Kristy Koser
Dissertations, 2014-2019
ABSTRACT
It is estimated 10-15% of women aged 20-45 or 1 in 4 to 6 couples are unable to get pregnant after one year of trying to conceive. This failure to conceive within 12 months without contraception meets the requirements for a diagnosis of infertility (Association for Reproductive Medicine [ASRM], 2014). With such a large percent of the United States population navigating the world of fertility treatment, the field of mental health must also evolve, offering new areas of specialty to address this specific client population. Couples face significant concerns while undergoing fertility treatment as they cope with complex decision-making, …
