Incarcerated to Educated: The On-Campus Experiences of College Students Post Incarceration
Get PDFAs reentry rates continue to climb in the United States, more individuals with felony convictions on their criminal records will be looking to obtain post-secondary education to make themselves more marketable in the workforce. The purpose of this narrative study was to examine the experiences of three individuals that pursued higher education after being released from prison. It was determined that the criminality of these individuals had minimal impact on their experiences in higher education, and that there are other components of their identity that have a heavier influence on their likelihood of success. The other components of their identities also gave stronger indication as to what type of support or resources would be most beneficial to them.

Through several perspectives, real world implications are discussed, along with recommendations for individuals that may interact with and support this population of students

Vote Like a Man, Act Like a Woman: An Exploratory Analysis of the Political Behavior of Contemporary American Conservative Women
Get PDFThis article seeks to establish a baseline for the political behavior and participation levels of Republican women by measuring six political activities. Using CCES 2020 self-selected survey data, the six political activities measured were: made a political donation, attended a march or protest, attended a political meeting, worked on a campaign, contacted a public official, displayed political signage. The political behavior and participation levels of Republican women were compared to the levels of Republican men and non-Republican women. This comparison was established to provide further insight into the political behaviors of Republican women, including the relationship between gender and partisanship in the 2020 presidential election. Results of this analysis conclude that, with few exceptions, Republican women in 2020 had lower levels of political activity than their Republican male peers and non-Republican women
