Berlin: Shifting the Paradigm Student Exhibit
Get PDFDanilo Bojic and Tyler Treptow-Bowman, took a group of 16 students from four departments for 18 days to Berlin, Germany. As a synthesis of the faculty-led study away program, students were tasked to reflect on their experiences and emotions and develop creative peace as part of a group exhibit.The goal is to explore Berlin and the transformation through the lens of messaging that Germany used to shift the paradigm following the Nazi Regime with an incorporated critique of white supremacy and ethnic cleansing. Additionally, in this collaborative program students were exploring the enticing shifts in visual communications that have transformed a nation.
Berlin was selected not only for its age-old architecture and art, but to reflect the nuances of a culture shaped by war, fascism, and communism. The program highlights human achievement, struggles, and empowerment. Berlin: Shifting the Paradigm examines Central Europe\u27s cultural, social and artistic achievements, and humanity\u27s ability to overcome tragedy. For this exhibit, students were asked to interpret the meaning of a \u27\u27reflective piece\u27\u27, and to produce creative, original work while working together in groups of four. These guides reflect the history, art, and architecture of the locations, and how students personally responded to these sights and experiences
Students\u27 thoughts on Use of Political Violence and other forms of Unconventional Political Participation
Get PDFThis research project is about Winona State student\u27s thoughts on different forms of unconventional political participation such as riots and political movements where violence is used as a tool. Research was conducted through Qualtrics in a collaboration with peers in the same course. This survey was given to Winona state students and asked their thoughts on movements that have turned towards unconventional political participation methods. This project was done as a part of the Political Science and Public Administration program
Clinical Opportunities for Special Education Teacher Candidates: Developing Professional Identities that Endure Beyond Candidacy
Get PDFThere is an ongoing shortage of special education teachers, particularly due to early burnout. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were utilized to explore field experience needs for special education teacher candidates that positively affected their ability to maintain self-efficacy toward classroom and behavior management in self-contained settings into their early years of teaching. Findings indicated that special education teacher candidates need opportunities for experiences that allow them to imagine themselves in the role and foster professional identity development that endures beyond candidacy. Embedding opportunities for preservice special education teachers to develop their professional identities within their formal preservice training programs may provide novice special education teachers with students with complex support needs the opportunity to develop the level of self-efficacy needed to persevere past novicehood. Implications for future research and practice regarding clinical experiences in special education teacher preparation programs are discussed, including purposefully embedding opportunities for preservice special education teachers to develop their professional identities within formal preservice training programs
Environmental Catastrophes in Whitewater River Valley, MN
No full textThe Whitewater River Valley is in southern Minnesota along the Mississippi River. This area was inhabited by Native Dakota and subsequently attracted many emigrants from European countries in the 1850s due to its scenic view and fertile soil. After the emigration of Europeans, forests in the valley were quickly turned into agricultural land. Removing vegetation from the valley took away the ability to absorb and hold water from soils which led to erosion and sedimentation. Eventually, streams clogged with sediment assaulted neighboring towns as floodwaters invaded towns and homesteads in the Whitewater valley. These flooding events became so intense and so frequent that residents in the valley had to abandon the valley. The purpose of this research is to summarize the history of Whitewater River Valley by using ArcGIS StoryMaps to tell this story in an approachable way so that all community members could understand the danger of environmental catastrophes that result from using lands without conservation practices.

Anomalies within Winona Campus on Protected Wavelengths
Get PDFThe present study is being conducted with the intention of identifying where, why, and what is transmitting a radio signal of 1419 MHz. This anomaly is intriguing because 1400-1427 MHz waves are protected. Because this is a protected wave, it was interesting that it was being transmitted on Winona State Campus which is where the team began research. To gain information, the research team cast the horn to the sky at an elevation of 37 degrees and in the directions of 344 , 213, 143, and 60 degrees bearing, respectively. Now that this baseline information has been collected, the team can narrow in on what portion of the campus is transmitting said anomaly. The horn is then pointed at an elevation of 37 degrees under the highest reading and cast to read both to right and left to determine which building is in question (due to the highest reading being in a general direction rather than towards a specific building). Finally, we will discuss with caretaking teams on campus to inquire about what could be transmitting this signal on a protected wavelength, from the WSU building. Overall, it\u27s well understood that this transmission is likely accidental, though it is imperative to keep certain wavelengths (i.e. 1400-1427 MHz) open for specific and pertinent communication
CE 695 Syllabus: Capstone Project
Get PDFThis course structures the completion of a major capstone paper in collaboration with the student’s academic advisor and serves as a transition from the role of student to that of professional
CE 660 Syllabus: Counseling Theory and Practice
Get PDFThis course exposes students to theories of personality development and change, theories of counseling, and counseling techniques. Students practice application of counseling theories in a laboratory setting with simulated situations. Students are encouraged to identify and develop a tentative theory of personality as it relates to an effective counseling approach. A strong emphasis is placed on the ethical standards of the counseling profession and on multicultural issue
Struggling to Recover or Recovering the Struggle: A Critical Examination of Recovery Narratives as Discourses-in-Practice for People Suffering from Postpartum Depression
Get PDFPostpartum depression is a prevalent condition, and preliminary data suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic further increased its incidence. Building on scholarship that has shown the value of exploring patients’ narratives for diagnosis and treatment, this study examines narratives of recovery in an online support forum, using theories of narrative identity. An online forum with 64 participants suffering from postpartum depression was analyzed according to grounded theory. A thematic analysis uncovered two dominant narratives: the full recovery or inevitable progress narrative, and the cyclical recovery or struggle as norm narrative. This study illustrates the complicated interaction between medical institutions, recovery narratives, and identity
