Investigating Variation and Strength in Social Networks
Get PDFParticipants were 318 college students from two small, Catholic liberal arts institutions in the Upper Midwest. Variation (i.e., having friends with varied interests and activities) of an individual’s social network was measured by a researcher-developed inventory, the Social Network Variation Scale (SNVS). Social network strength was measured by the researcher-developed Social Network Strength Scale (SNSS). People with more variation or more strength in their social network had higher levels of happiness and lower levels of stress. Autonomy mediated the relationships between variation and stress and strength and stress. Personality moderated the relationships between variation and happiness and variation and stress
“Thus seyden sadde folk” : Chaucer’s Oxford Clerk on theological controversy in the 14th century
Get PDFOf all of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, the Clerk’s Tale is perhaps the most disturbing. The alarmingly submissive Griselda and her husband-cum-tormenter Walter have horrified and frustrated scholars with their irrational behavior for centuries. Although considered a teller of one of Chaucer’s “religious tales,” the Clerk’s seeming ambivalence about his tale’s moral has rendered most, if not all, theological readings unsatisfying and inconclusive. For this reason, the Clerk’s Tale has primarily been studied for the glimpse it provides into medieval gender politics. My research, however, attempts to situate the tale within its theological context by paying more attention to its teller – an Oxford-trained cleric. The 14th century witnessed several theological controversies, and Oxford University was often the hotbed of these debates. For instance, the general shift towards nominalism at medieval universities and the realist dissent that arose in response both introduced further ambiguity to the already-complicated problem of theodicy. And towards the end of the century, the rise of Wycliffism – and the eventual quagmire of lollardy – began with the work of John Wyclif and his early followers, all of whom were based at Oxford. Thus, the Oxford Clerk himself provides necessary context for the theological themes found within his tale. Using this context, my research suggests that the famously unsatisfying ambiguity of the story of Griselda may have been Chaucer’s intended theological reading, after all

Carbonation and sweetness in beverages impact perceived satiety and biomarkers in healthy weight adults
No full textSugar sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is decreasing, partially due to the rise in popularity of low-calorie carbonated beverages. The objective of this study was to determine how carbonation (taste irritation), flavor, sweetness, or a combination of those factors impacted hunger and thirst responses. Healthy weight adults consumed six different beverages varying in carbonation, sweetness, and flavor. Blood samples were collected at baseline, and again at 10 and 45 minutes post beverage consumption. Blood was analyzed for ghrelin and glucose at each time point. Perceived satiety was measured at each time point. Participants also completed a sensory of analysis of each beverage during consumption. Data was analyzed and presented at the forum

Lessons in productivity: what I learned by writing for 30 minutes a day
Get PDFToo often our scholarly and creative work takes a back seat to components of our jobs with built in accountability like teaching and service. During the fall 2018 semester, I participated in the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity\u27s Faculty Success Program. The program emphasizes scholarly productivity and encourages work-life balance. The core component of the program is developing a daily writing practice. The program encourages participants to write for 30 minutes per day. NCFDD founder, Kerry Ann Rockquemore defines writing as anything between the spark of an idea and a manuscript out the door. In this forum, I will share how 30 minutes per day changed my approach to scholarly work and describe what I learned about improving productivity by engaging in a daily writing practice
A Deeper Understanding for People of Good Will
No full textMartin Luther King, Jr. wrote: Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Our general communal good will is necessary – but not sufficient – for us to become inclusive institutions. In order for our institutions to thrive, everyone in the community has to recognize that incidental efforts to support inclusion and diversity must become more intentional and deepen. Within this presentation, I will address the following questions: Why is general good will not enough? How can we deepen one another’s understanding of the challenges and opportunities surrounding inclusion on campus? As a leader, what am I called to do to deepen that understanding
