Centering Students, Creating Belonging: Building Community in Campus Archives
No full textA sense of belonging is often the last thing a student expects to find in an archives, but seven college and university archivists from a wide range of campuses will share innovative practices and programmatic changes that foster growth, inclusivity, and build community for high school, college and graduate students in their repositories. Bethany Fiechter from DePauw University will showcase their “You Belong in Archives and Special Collections” campus initiative that impacts their new physical building and programmatic activities. Carrie Meyer at the University of Nebraska Medical Center will share the development of an archives-based course for high school juniors and seniors interested in health sciences. Carrie Schwier from Indiana University will share the educational/mentorship model employed by their repository with their part-time student workers. Lindsay Anderberg from New York University, Tanya Zanish-Belcher from Wake Forest University, April K. Anderson-Zorn from Illinois State University, Deborah Kloiber from Connecticut College, and Carol Street from the University of Kentucky will discuss leveraging student-led curatorial work, class instruction, and archival internships to impact undergraduate research and build research communities. All of these examples center the student, rather than the archivist, to create space for belonging and engagement in one of the unlikeliest places on campus
Power, Pleasure, and Privilege: defining DePauw’s hookup culture and its mental health implications
Get PDFHookup culture is not primarily about sex, pleasure, connection, or freedom. Hookup culture is about power—how power is used, distributed, and desired. Previous work in hookup culture discusses a discourse of desire; however, the root and nature of this desire are unclear. I posit that hookup culture, as it currently exists, is strongly related to rape culture. In this thesis, I will explicate my anecdotal, qualitative, and quantitative evidence supporting this hypothesis

Wildlife Recoveries with Christopher Preston
Get PDFOverview & Shownotes
In an age when endangered species are dying out by the hundreds, philosopher Christopher Preston argues that there’s hope to be found in the stories of successful wildlife recoveries. These animals not only have a lot to teach us about restoration, but they can also help bridge the political divide over climate change.

Click: Claim Chat. Chat00568: Hi! I’m writing a paper about Black representation in opera and trying to find a copy of Fire Shut Up in My Bones. I tried googling but wasn’t able to find it. Do you know where I can find a copy? Music Librarian: What a great topic! One moment while I search for that. Furiously searches all of the standard places for a new opera score. Fire Shut Up in My Bones is too new to be commercially available but it does look like there are a few options to view or listen to a recording of a production. Music Librarian: It looks like the score is not available for purchase or rental, yet. Let me see if we have an audio or video recording. Music Librarian: Alas, we don’t have it on CD, DVD, or access through any of our streaming services. Based on my WorldCat search, a few other music libraries in the region have a copy of the DVD. Would you like help placing an ILL request? Chat00568: That would be great! Thanks! Could you help me find scholarly articles about the opera, too? Music Librarian: Sure! Why don’t we set up a research consultation for later this week? You can schedule a meeting with me using my online scheduler. Would you prefer to meet virtually or in-person . . . You start drafting an email to the opera history professor to discuss scheduling a library instruction session.
As Leslie Troutman noted in the “User Education” essay for the Current State of Music Librarianship in 2000 (upon which the above interaction is modeled), “Whether we call it user education, library-use instruction, or bibliographic instruction, the goal is the same: to teach our users to be effective, efficient, and independent researchers.” The nomenclature continues to change, and today, librarians are more likely to use the terms information literacy instruction or library instruction, but the main goals of user education remain. It is the information landscape and expectations for the methods and modes of delivery themselves that are radically different. This essay will provide a brief overview of the changes and developments in library instruction, with an emphasis on music libraries in higher education, that have occurred since the 2000 essay in an effort to capture what user education looks like in music librarianship today
Morality and Me: An Investigation of a Moral Framework for College Students
Get PDFThe field of moral psychology studies how people make decisions about right and wrong. These moral decisions can be based on a number of different moral considerations in the dilemma. The present study looks at the moral considerations of college students in the U.S when faced with a moral dilemma. We surveyed U.S. college students in February 2023 by presenting them with a moral dilemma they might come across during their college years and asking what they would do in the situation and why. This study developed the Moral Dilemmas Questionnaire to test the moral reasoning of college students. The Moral Dilemmas Questionnaire is made of ten moral dilemmas relevant to college students and asks them what they would do. Then, it offers participants the opportunity to explain why they chose a certain decision for researchers to discern the moral values and considerations used in the moral reasoning. Our results found that college students most frequently consider the consequences of their moral actions, followed by their intentions and personal motivations in the moral dilemma. This suggests that a U.S. college student\u27s moral framework emphasizes the consequences and intentions and motivations in a moral situation. We present the results of all ten questions from the Moral Dilemmas Questionnaire, showing which moral dimensions college students considered for each question. These findings contribute to the moral psychology literature as information on how a particular population reasons through moral situations as well as a methodology that could be used for similar studies with other populations. With a better understanding of how different groups rely on different moral considerations, we can understand more clearly the root of conflict in moral decisions and better understand other perspectives
The Process and Me: Creating a Film About Archaeology
Get PDFThe film I created is entitled “The Bomb: The 2022 Trasimeno Regional Archaeological Project.” It documents the research methods used to ethically excavate an archaeological site and presents Professor Rebecca Schindler and Pedar Foss’s research from Castiglione del Lago, Italy. The stakes of the project are as follows: I wanted to create an entertaining documentary about the process of ethically excavating an archaeological dig site through the 2022 Trasimeno Regional Archaeology Project (TRAP) in Castiglione del Lago, Italy. This thesis contains three parts: Analysis of Archaeology in the Media, where I analyze two TV shows about archaeology as the main topic, On The Site, where I discuss what my thought process looked like during filming, and Reflections, where I analyze my strengths as a filmmaker and producer, as well as offer insight into my directorial choices. One of the primary focuses of the film will be how the research is presented, and that will be documented in the thesis below. My film attempts to display ethical archaeological practices and takes a different directorial approach from typical stereotypes of archaeology in the media. I address these stereotypes in the Analysis of Archaeology in the Media. My film attempts to illustrate the process to excavate a dig site and what I could do to ensure I was capturing the best footage. I address these issues in On The Site. My film attempts to find humor as my way of providing entertainment and perspective as a filmmaker. I address this directorial choice in the Reflections
