“This Isn’t Chiraq. This Is Home. This Is Us:” Media Framing in the Construction of Victimhood
Homicide victims are the most innocent of all victims. Yet not all victims are reported equally: some receive extensive coverage while others receive little or none. Previous research has looked at victim and homicide characteristics to determine if a crime gets covered. This study seeks to go beyond this analysis to couple victim and homicide characteristics with an analysis of news article content to determine how victims are covered. The method here will be an analysis of homicide articles collected over a one year period from the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the Washington Post, to determine how victims are socially constructed by product of media framing
Proposing a Sustainable Future for the Muskoka Region
The following report is from a summer research project conducted between May and August 2020 that was supported by Hamilton College’s Emerson Collaborative Grants. The project’s ultimate goal is to collect empirical survey data combined with expert interviews to propose pathways to a sustainable future for the Muskoka Region. The Muskoka Region is a gorgeous and unique area in Northern Canada that requires and deserves environmental stability and preservation. Over the past few years, Muskoka\u27s environment has been increasingly degraded, and the causes and motivations of this degradation merit attention. This project consists of 3 reports, and aims to improve the Muskoka Region\u27s sustainability. Report 1 and 2 consist of preliminary research through a combination of online empirical data, elite interviews, and participant surveys to set the stage for Report 3, where I propose a sustainable and equitable vision for the future of the very precious Muskoka Region. Specifically, I am interested in finding out what the biggest threats to Muskoka\u27s natural environment are, what demographics may be causing these threats, and how the stakeholders within the region can better manage their individual and collective actions to reduce their ecological impacts

A Photograph of the 1908 Print Shop at the Israelite House of David
A very important part of the early success of the Israelite House of David was the print shop. Benjamin and Mary Purnell utilized printed copies of the Star of Bethlehem to attract and convert followers of the Fifth (Wroeite) and Sixth (Jezreelite) churchs. Once they moved to Benton Harbor, Michigan, in 1903, setting up a print shop was a top priority to facilitate the growth of the colony
