Does the Use of TAPs Impact a Final Interpreted Product: A Self-study
Get PDFWhat makes it possible for an English/American Sign Language Interpreter to work between two modes of language? The current study explored this question by examining preparation and direct connection to a final interpreted product. This thesis describes a self-study that sought to pinpoint the cognitive process as it occurs during preparation time to determine the feasibility of the designed method. Utilizing Think-Aloud Protocols (TAPs) and a segment of the Demand Control-Schema as tools, I explore my own process as student-researcher/participant starts an investigation into their own process. The study demonstrates use of preparation time impacting a final interpreter product and uses retrospective interviewing to aid in understanding of one cognitive process

Spokesmen for Speechless Sufferers: An Analysis of Trauma and Division in World War I Poetry and Vietnam War Protest Music
Get PDFThis project analyzes how trauma and social protest have affected the lives and works of World War I poet, Wilfred Owen, and protest songwriter, Pete Seeger. Both were influential in their time, and their compositions powerfully express the themes of trauma caused by the horrors of war, and they demonstrate the social divide arising out of disillusionment. This thesis also includes my own poetry (see appendix). This allows me to better connect with the artists who have come before, and perhaps inspire other writers to come forth and share their experiences. The project offers close examinations of Owen’s poetry and Seeger’s Vietnam War era protest songs, concerning both the writers’ arguments and connections to their personal and social trauma in the 1910s and 1960s-io0s. This thesis reminds readers of the importance of poetry and music in helping people overcome the worst evils and devastations of war and how Owen and Seeger accomplished this not just during their lives but also after their deaths. These artists left a powerful legacy spanning wars and generations, times of hate and times of love
Paint it Red
Get PDFFamily is complicated. It’s even more complicated if you’re Oliver--a teenage boy fresh out of high school--and you add restrictive gender norms and a search for self into the mix. In the simplest terms, all Oliver wanted was to paint his nails. Sure, there were other things in life he wanted, like the latest video game, cool shoes, a new camera, a college degree, a sense of purpose. But the one thing that he’d wanted, in the back of his mind since he was eight years old, was to paint his nails bright red and walk out into the sunshine for everyone to see.
But that’s not what boys do
