The Devil Wears Prada Historical Fashion History Project
Get PDFThe Devil Wears Prada (2006), directed by David Frankel, serves as a rich visual case study of early 21st-century fashion. Set in New York City, the film follows recent college graduate Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), who lands a job at the prestigious fashion magazine Runway, working under its powerful and demanding editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). The film captures the fast-paced, image-driven fashion industry of the mid-2000s, reflecting broader cultural themes of ambition, conformity, and identity.
The soundtrack—featuring artists like Madonna and U2—complements the vibrant energy of the fashion world during a time of globalization and mass consumption. Stylistically, the costumes represent the era’s obsession with luxury branding, clean silhouettes, and “power dressing.” Costume designer Patricia Field utilized designer garments from Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino to visually distinguish characters and signal status.
Field’s work not only complements the storyline but reflects the zeitgeist of the 2000s, where image was increasingly tied to personal and professional success. The transformation of Andy’s wardrobe symbolizes her internal conflict between authenticity and assimilation. The film left a lasting legacy in pop culture and fashion, influencing trends, launching careers, and cementing its place as a key text in contemporary fashion history

Get PDFPolicy Analysis of HB0030: Empowering English Language Learners
Get PDFThe 1974 Supreme Court case Lau v. Nichols ruled that schools are required to provide English Language Learning services, as failing to do so deprives English-learning students of a meaningful opportunity to participate in education and denies them access to an equitable education (Lau v. Nichols). Not providing English Language Learning support is in opposition to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Education Opportunities Act of 1974. In addition, the Every Student Succeeds Act requires all students with no exceptions to participate in school accountability assessments, which in Tennessee is the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) (Sugarman & Villegas, 2020). Overall, policy states that schools are required to support English Language Learners so that they can exercise their right to an equitable education; however, when it comes to testing, there is limited support for students who are learning English, which can have a significant impact on a student’s educational journey. There is a growing population of English Language Learners in the state of Tennessee, showing an increasing need for adequate support. Currently in the Tennessee General Assembly, HB0030 sponsored by John Ray Clemmons and its companion bill SB1213 sponsored by Senator Charlane Oliver, would empower students who are English Language Learners to receive the support for testing assessment they deserve. Empowering all students is a key value of social work, particularly in alignment with our values of service and social justice. It is imperative that students receive more than just the bare minimum to achieve academic success, as this success significantly impacts their lives beyond K-12 education. We recommend supporting this bill and adding more support for English Language Learners in the education system
Built Environment
No full textInspired by data from Imagine Nashville and conversations with the Civic Design Center, our team explored the concept of a built environment. A built environment consists of human-made surroundings designed to provide a community with enhanced areas for human activity. A healthy built environment promotes physical, mental, and social benefits to people. Many Nashvillians are very optimistic about Nashville and believe that there is a lot of potential for positive changes within the city. As a team, we reflected and discussed ways to improve life in Nashville and potentially lead to a built environment. After tremendous research and conversations we decided on redesigning a specific street in Nashville, using the concept of a built environment, to make it more community-friendly.
Our team decided to take a closer look at Bransford Avenue which is located near Geodis Park. Using what we learned about a built environment we came up with several enhancements. To encourage walking and social interaction, we recommend installing benches as resting spots throughout the area. Additionally, another crucial aspect to a healthy city is limited amounts of litter. We noticed that in Nashville, waste bins are extremely limited and hard to find. To address this issue, we recommend adding ore accessible waste bins. Another enhancement is the addition of blue street lights which have been found to significantly reduce suicide and crime rates. Lastly, the addition of more greenery in the area will help create a more calming, welcoming environment as well as promote mental well-being. All in all, our team aims to create a more sustainable neighborhood design, one that promotes social interactions, a healthy and active lifestyle, and reduces environmental waste
