Play and Counter-Conduct: Migrant Domestic Workers on TikTok
No full textThis paper examines how migrant domestic workers subvert domination, exploitation and subjection through performances in TikTok videos. Through this confessional social medium, workers exercise a form of autonomy in severely restrictive employment and living conditions, where collective action may not only be improbable but also illegal. I argue that these videos demonstrate Foucauldian counter-conduct or the “art of not being governed so much.” Counter-conduct is an exercise of agency which transforms the self and others through relations of power. It is a form of resistance distinct to a category of workers who have limited access to the public sphere due in part to the gendered nature of cooking, cleaning and caring. Domestic work is not normally included in labour laws and the place of employment are employers’ private homes. This makes it difficult to organize or make rights claims. I build on literatures of everyday resistance to examine the practices and subjectivities embodied by migrant domestic workers in the Gulf. These videos became a popular medium among workers at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic to express themselves, alleviate isolation and connect with others. In so doing, so-called ‘modern slaves,’ enact freedom, already present, as subjects of ethics and politics

Ignite: A Promotional Magazine for Liberty University
No full textFor my senior thesis I received special permission to do a project instead of a paper. I named my magazine Ignite, and it is a promotional magazine. The magazine target audience is primarily high school juniors and seniors who are interested in attending Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. I completely designed the magazine from beginning to end, with the exception of the photographs. The photographs used are ones approved by the Liberty University Marketing Department that the author has permission to reprint. This way, if Liberty University decides to add this publication to their line of products the school already has the copyrights to the images. All graphic design elements and writings are the sole creation of the author.
The goal of this magazine is to help Liberty University and to help prospective students as they are going through their college selection process. I want this magazine to be something that Liberty can use for years to come with bits of updating throughout the years as the school sees fit. I believe this magazine can be used to create interest in Liberty University and will be something that few other colleges can offer to students. It is something I would like to give back to the school for the experiences I have been blessed to have here

Mac-o-chee Castle photograph
No full textReturning from the war to their boyhood hometown, Abram Piatt and his brother Donn built homes less than a mile apart, outside West Liberty in Logan County. Donn's house, Mac-o-Chee Castle, a three-story, 36-room Gothic limestone chateau featuring two central towers, was designed by Abram's son William and completed in 1879.
Donn Piatt capitalized on his family's Huguenot descent to become charge d'affaires at the American embassy in Paris. Like his brother, he enlisted in the Union Army a private, leaving at the rank of lieutenant colonel. He returned to newspapers during Reconstruction, operating the Washington Capitol, which primarily ran stories on the numerous graft scandals of the period, including the Pacific mail bribes and the Credit Mobilier.
William McCoy Piatt's family operated the houses as a tourist destination from 1912 until their departure in 1984. The Castles were entered in the National Register in 1982
Reinforcer Preferences of Liberty University Professors
No full textPrior research in Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) has found positive reinforcement effective for increasing work performance when rewards are reinforcing to the individual. Research also supports the efficacy of stimulus preference assessments (SPAs) in identifying reinforcers. The purpose of this study was to identify reinforcers for faculty at Liberty University. The hypotheses were, in a sample of faculty in Liberty University’s School of Behavioral Sciences (1) potential reinforcers other than monetary reinforcers will be identified as high-preference items and (2) tangible items will be identified as low-preference items. Hypotheses were tested using an online survey with Likert scales and written response. The author concluded that the hypotheses were supported. Personal recognition and intentionality were also found to be highly valued
