Student Transience In The Binghamton Community
Get PDFSince the 20th century, Broome County and more specifically the Binghamton area has been losing its population and becoming more and more of a transient population. This paper looks to analyze the relationship between the transient population, more specifically transient students and their families, and the causes of them moving, primarily focusing on the economic and housing situations throughout the county. The research gained through using data published by government agencies as well as scientific journals in the past as well as interviews with people familiar to the situation in schools may help show a cause and effect relationship between the variables previously discussed and how they affect transience of students. Additionally, this paper also looks to provide potential solutions to these assumed housing problems using data and previous policy ideas that were implemented in other rural areas.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1120/thumbnail.jp
Analyzing the Access to Unhealthy Food Sources in Relation to Obesity and Income Levels in Broome County
Get PDFThe relationship between income level, obesity, and fast-food restaurant availability can give us an insight into why people are more likely to choose food that is more readily available to them in terms of location, affordability, and general convenience. The consumption of fast food as an alternative to home-cooked meals is a common practice that is usually seen in mostly lower-income populations because of its affordability. In order to see if there was a correlation between the availability of fast-food restaurants and the obesity rates of various towns and cities of Broome County, especially within the lower-income town, I compiled data on the number of fast-food restaurants in each town with the town’s obesity rates to see if there was a correlation. I compared the data from nineteen different cities and towns of Broome County, including data about the obesity rates, income levels, and the number of fast-food restaurants in each region. I expect to find that the data collected will show that as the number of fast-food restaurants goes up, so will the obesity rates within each town or city. Additionally, as both of these variables go up, the income level of each town or city will go down. This study can help us understand why it might be important to create more low-price meal options that are as readily available, affordable, and yet more nutritious for lower-income families to choose in order to avoid the health risks that come with the fast-food industry.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1124/thumbnail.jp
The New Homophobia: Quality of LGBTQ Representation in Streaming TV
Get PDFAs the presence of openly LGBTQ characters in TV shows becomes increasingly commonplace, researchers have endeavored to understand what effect this may have on queer communities. Prior interview and social media discourse studies suggest that the negative representation of LGBTQ characters, through the use of queerbaiting and stereotypic portrayals, decreases queer individuals’ ability to cope with discrimination and stigma, as well as increases their sense of hopelessness at the possibility of future happiness. To understand the prevalence of this issue, the current content analysis aims to analyze the quality of LGBTQ representation in a sample (n = 8) of TV shows under the LGBTQ category on Netflix. Using a modified version of the Vito-Russo Test as a measure, the narratives and treatment of 36 openly queer characters were examined for identifiability, stereotypic portrayal, and significance to the plot. Results support the hypothesis that the majority of LGBTQ shows in the sample did not pass the proposed standard of quality representation. The implication that this may constitute a new form of homophobia are discussed.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1130/thumbnail.jp
Color and Abstraction: Peter Bradley’s Resistance Against “Black Art” Through Curation and Painting
Get PDFThe 1971 Contemporary Black Artists in America exhibit mounted by the Whitney Museum at the height of the Black Arts Movement, a period when black political art was celebrated, generated opposition. Twenty-four artists withdrew from the exhibition because the Whitney, which refused to hire any black curators or co-curators and invited an assortment of artists whose only similarity was their race, had the effect of boxing black artists into a singular “marked” category as black artists. Art collector and supporter of civil rights activists John de Menil saw the resistance towards the exhibit and urged artist Peter Bradley to curate a modern art exhibit that didn’t simply tokenize black artists. Galvanized by his frustration with the Whitney Museum, Bradley curated The DeLuxe Show, which opened in Houston as the first racially integrated art exhibition in the US. Unlike Robert Doty, the white curator of the Whitney exhibit, who wanted to showcase the “Black experience,” Bradley defied the idea of “black shows and white shows” and promoted good black artists, affording them the same attention as good white artists. Beyond his curatorial work as a retort to the narrative that museums were pushing on black artists at the time, Bradley’s work as an artist also serves as a response. Working with a nonrepresentational style, as seen in his 1974 painting Linne II, Bradley refused to submit to the pressure for black artists to create figurative art that would contribute to the expression of Black struggle, insisting instead on pursuing abstract painting.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1132/thumbnail.jp
Introduction to Macroeconomics
Get PDFThe textbook begins by looking at basic economic concepts and models, such as scarcity, choice, model-building, opportunity cost, production possibilities curves, comparative advantage, and supply and demand analysis. After a chapter exploring the relationships between markets and government, the text then delves into a rigorous analysis of the theory and practice of macroeconomics. Topics include the measurement of macroeconomic variables, macroeconomic models, and fiscal and monetary policy. The text emphasizes the connections between theory and policy in exploring the field of macroeconomics

Composers\u27 collected works: a case study in remote work compatible catalog maintenance
Get PDFApproximately 15% of Binghamton University Libraries\u27 28,000 musical scores are collections of scores comprising a composer\u27s complete works. Ideally, these large, multipart, non-circulating collections are cataloged consistently with either comprehensive records for each set, or individual records for each score within the set. Our catalog is inconsistent in this approach and requires remediation. The resulting workflow maximizes flexibility in who participates, where, and when, by siloing the portion of the work requiring data processing and advanced music cataloging skills. This poster will show both the workflow for standardizing composers\u27 collected works sets, and how the project is designed for remote work compatibility
Cracked Cans, Bent Wire: Dating Historical Metal at Biry/Ahr House, Castroville, Texas
Get PDFIn this work I investigate changes in historical metal consumption practices over time at Biry/Ahr House, a frontier settlement in Castroville, Texas. Alsatian immigrants settled this site in Medina County as part of the empresario system of the 1840s. Biry/Ahr House was home to two families, the Birys (1844-1921) and the Groff/Tschirharts (1921-1972). Using vibrant materialism, consumerism, and collections-based research, I address the ways in which metal usage changed over time at the site as well as the factors behind these changes. I also consider the role that Alsatian heritage has played in the transformation of Biry/Ahr House from a historical home to the Living History Center it is today
Trefoil knot, Figured Maple 1, Figure 2
No full textI completed carving two more versions of the Trefoil Knot, these made from a piece of Figured Maple which was originally 3.25 x8 x8 . I split it into two pieces each of size 1.5 x8 x8 , and the final results were about 7.5 in diameter and 1.5 thick.https://orb.binghamton.edu/mathematical_sculptures/1640/thumbnail.jp
