Cayley Map Embeddings of Complete Graphs
Get PDFThis paper looks at Cayley map embeddings of complete graphs on orientable surfaces. Cayley maps constrain graph embeddings to those with cyclical edge rotations, so optimal embeddings on surfaces with the minimum genus may not always be possible. We explore instances when Cayley maps succeed at optimally embedding complete graphs, and when optimal embeddings are not possible, we determine how close to optimal they can get by finding vertex rotations that result in the smallest possible genus. Many of the complete graphs we consider have prime numbers of vertices, so for each complete graph Kn we focus on mappings with the finite cyclic group Zn
The Old, The Here and Now (Inside 2)

Many citizens regularly enter municipal facilities in their communities without considering the foundational histories embedded within. To heighten awareness of these overlooked infrastructural politics, this work emphasizes the capitalist-catering tendencies rooted within biased and dismissive media coverage of minority residents and communities, leading to their disenfranchisement.
Developed from a curated selection of archival records associated with my hometown of Sanford, Florida, the works that form this project highlight the detrimental impact of the city’s foundational policies on racial minorities and low-income residents. Photographs and newspaper articles offer evidence of how capitalist interests lead to discrimination that inhibits lower class livelihood through poor resource distribution and inequitable criminal justice. Visual alterations of overlaying and mark making disrupt these materials, pointing to the relationship between spatial histories and written records, making Sanford’s physical and ideological construction visible.
Presenting these documents in the form of reworked compositions, varied timelines are condensed into a visual amalgamation, stressing the continued pattern of exploitation and damaging transitions that perpetuate racial-class prejudices. A constructed newspaper takeaway completes the series, provoking viewers to consider how the media we consume reinforces harmful assumptions, while encouraging their participation in the production of new histories.https://scholarship.rollins.edu/studioart_all/1017/thumbnail.jp

Effects of Candidate Gender and Assertiveness on Likability and Promotability to A Leadership Position: Comparing Perceptions of U.S. Millennials with Those of Older U.S. Workers
Get PDFThis study examined the impact of job candidates\u27 gender and assertiveness on millennial and older generations of workers\u27 perceptions of the candidates\u27 likability, competence, and promotability. A 2x2 experimental methodology was used to test 11 hypotheses.
Participants watched one of four videos with a male and a female actor displaying assertive and non-assertive styles during an interview for a promotion opportunity. The results showed that the female candidate was considered slightly less promotable overall. Consistent with past research, perceptions of the candidate\u27s competence and likability were strongly related to promotability. When displaying assertive behaviors, both male and female candidates were rated as less likable. Contrary to previous research, this negative effect of assertiveness on likability was not stronger for the female candidate. Also, contrary to past research, the assertive candidates were not perceived as more competent.
Ratings of promotability were not affected by whether the raters were millennials or from older generations. A generational difference in the impact of the candidate\u27s assertiveness on likability was observed, but contrary to the hypothesis, members of older generations perceived the assertive candidates as less likable than millennials did. Consistent with past research, participants who evaluated the candidates as attractive also found them much more likable and competent.
This research contributes to the literature on leadership, gender bias, and backlash against assertive women and how these may be changing, particularly as millennials comprise more of the workforce. Overall, the results show less evidence of bias than was seen in studies from earlier decades
