Where Schrodinger's Cat Waits
No full textWhere Schrödinger’s Cat Waits is a collection of original short fiction that aims to address what it means to occupy multiple spaces at once. Drawing on my experiences of growing up both in South Africa and the United States, I hope to explore the many ways identity intersects. In “Uninterrupted Salad Days,” Nadine stands on the precipice of adolescence, wanting to join her peers who are growing up faster than her while “The Changeling” deals with fresh-off-the-boat Yasmin’s trouble assimilating to American teen culture. In these strange and sometimes darkly funny stories, the every day little things are translated into serious questions, like who are we when we’re not forced to choose?Creative writingFiction, Short fiction, South AfricanLiteratureDegree Awarded: M.F.A.

PREDICTING INTEREST IN RECEIVING HEALTHY EATING INFORMATION VIA SOCIAL MEDIA AMONG ADULTS LIVING IN UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
No full textAccess to nutrition programs by individuals living in under-resourced communities was made more challenging by the emergence of the novel corona virus. Innovative approaches are needed to reach participants. Social media can reduce some program participation barriers. The purpose of this research is to explore interest in receiving healthy eating information via social media among adults living in under-resourced communities in Washington, DC. The researcher partnered with Martha’s Table, a local food access non-profit organization, to invite community members to complete a brief 22-item survey. A total of 375 interviews were completed with a response rate of 88.4%. Participants mean age was 52.9 years, 69% reported being social media users, and 49% expressed interest in receiving healthy eating information via social media. Multinomial regression analysis indicated that self-efficacy, digital technology value and digital technology use are significant predictors of interest in receiving healthy eating information via social media. The findings suggest that high self-efficacy is associated with participants interest in receiving healthy eating information via SNS. Secondly the findings of this study indicate that, amongst participants, social media is widely used and a feasible method to share healthy eating information. The results of this study could benefit nutrition education researchers who are planning on using social media to increase participant engagement and reach. Understanding interest in receiving healthy eating information via SNS could help community organizations and researchers during the planning and design stages of social marketing campaigns.Health sciencesDigital Technology, Healthy Eating, Heath Behavior, Nutrition Education, Social Media, Under-resourced CommunitySchool of Education, Teaching and HealthDegree Awarded: M.S.

On the Distinction and Order of the Definitions of the Soul in De Anima 2.1 and 2.2
No full textAristotle provides two definitions of the soul in De anima 2.1 and 2.2 respectively. One common reading among recent scholars holds that the definition in 2.1 is imperfect, and that the definition in 2.2 eclipses the previous definition by giving a causal account of the soul. In this thesis, I argue that the definition of the soul as the first actuality of a natural, organic body (2.1) is superior to the definition of the soul as the first principle of life within the living thing (2.2). The first chapter of this thesis gives an account of the definition of the soul from De anima 2.1. The second chapter is devoted to showing that the definition introduced in 2.2 is inferior. Finally, the third chapter shows why it is inferior, i.e., it shows in what the priority of the definition of 2.1 consists. Since the soul is the principle of living activities because it informs the matter and constitutes a living being, the definition of the soul in terms of the matter it informs is a more perfect, more causal definition than one in terms of the activities that arise after and on account of the soul’s information of matter.PhilosophyAristotle, De Anima, Definition, SoulPhilosophyDegree Awarded: Ph.L.--Philosophy.
