No full textLa obra que se presenta, titulada Métodos de Investigación en Psicología, ha sido escrita por tres eminentes psicólogos con ampliatrayectoria en el campo de la investigación y la docencia, lo que les ha validoreconocimiento como profesores destacados en las institucionesuniversitarias donde se han desempeñado. Tal es el caso de JohnShaughnessy, quien recibió el nombramiento como educador sobresaliente en1992 en Hope College, que es una Escuela de artes liberales en Holland, Michigan. Eugene Zechmeister fue distinguido con el premio de excelencia ala enseñanza en 1994, otorgado por Loyola University en Chicago. Delmismo modo, Jeanne Shaughnessy fue nominada durante los años 1990 a2002 como una de las mejores educadoras de Loyola University
'Autistic [Neuro]Queer Pioneers' Using participatory autism research, performance, and visual art to articulate the experiences of late diagnosed autistic women (cis- and trans-) and non-binary people
No full textBackground: Much autism research is predicated on the assumption that autistic people are male and/or male-brained. This gendered diagnosis has led to the marginalisation of a group of autistic people that do not have these stereotypical male autistic traits (i.e., systematising, externalised presentation of autistic behaviours such as stereotypical meltdown and stimming) being mis-/undiagnosed. This group includes autistic women (cis-/trans-) and non-binary people (AWCTN+). The author, who is AWCTN+, did not have these stereotypical traits and remained misdiagnosed with mental health issues until aged 39.
Methods: Their experience became the impetus for this thesis; to address the knowledge gap about adult AWNBT+ peoples' lived experiences using creative methods. Drawing on their performance art background, they designed nine two-hour creative workshops (CWs) to construct an autistic space that encouraged a group of adult late-/ self-diagnosed AWNBT+ university students to articulate their experiences of being autistic. The culmination of these workshops was a 90-minute collaborative performance piece that was to be shown to the public. A series of recordings from the creative workshops plus one-to-one interviews with the participants were transcribed and analysed using elements of grounded theory and thematic analysis. Post-performance interviews were also conducted. This thesis develops a new form which I have entitled 'embodied autieethnography performance'. A method which has built on other autistic academics' use of autieethnography as the autistic form of autoethnography. This was the method I used for my solo performance Adventures of Super Autie Girl to articulate my own experience of being autistic which was further developed to incorporate the experiences of the co-performers in Adventures of Super Autie Gang (ASAG).
Results: Seventeen people were recruited and participated in at least two of the CWs. Eight participants consented to one-to-one interviews and all participants consented to the CWs being recorded. All data were anonymised and transcribed before being analysed. Five themes emerged from these data: 1) Autistic Connectivity/Autistic Space; 2) Labels and Identity: Reappropriation; 3) Stimming/Body Signs; 4) Autistic Sensory Experience; 5) Articulating and Re-Evaluating Autistic Needs. The collaborative performance piece, ASAG, was a culmination of all the knowledge learned in the CWs and was co-created with five of the CW participants. It was shown on April 30, 2019 at the Autism Arts Festival, University of Kent, UK.
Conclusion: The emergent themes appear to challenge the validity of the male and/or male-brained model of diagnosis, which does not appear to adequately describe the experiences of AWNBT+ people. In addition, CW participants reported increased: self-acceptance; pride; confidence to articulate their needs and stim in public. The thesis also identified the importance of autistic spaces
An Evaluation of the Ligand Effects on Neopentyl Phosphine Derived Precatalysts for N-Arylation Reactions and for the Cross-Coupling of Aryl Acetylenes with Propargyl Alcohols and Amides
No full textElectronic Thesis or DissertationPalladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are some of the most widely employed methods for forming new C-C and C-heteroatom bonds in both academic and industrial settings. Much of the focus on developing these catalytic systems has shifted to identifying more effective ligands to facilitate these transformations. Trialkyl phosphines are a powerful class of ligands that have garnered a lot of interest in recent decades due to their ability to effectively catalyze a wide variety of cross-coupling reactions. Much of the focus in the Shaughnessy group has been on evaluating a series of neopentyl (Np) alkyl phosphine ligands and their capacity to catalyze different C-C and C-N coupling reactions. Specifically, I prepared and tested a series of air-stable [(Np3P)Pd(Ar)Br]2 and (Np3P)Pd(Ar)(amine) precatalysts for the coupling of sterically hindered aryl bromides and aniline derivatives. The amine adducts were less active than the bromine-bridged dimers, however, these precatalysts were more active than the catalyst generated in situ from Pd2(dba)3 and PNp3. We also demonstrated a positive correlation between increasing the steric bulk of the aryl group and increased catalytic activity in these N-arylation reactions. Recently the Shaughnessy group developed a method for the selective cross-coupling of terminal aryl alkynes with propargyl alcohols to afford linear (E) enynol products using a di-tert-butylneopentyl phosphine (DTBNpP) derived palladacycle. Inspired by these findings, I aimed to determine how the identity of the ligand would impact the selectivity of the cross-coupling reactions. I synthesized novel variants of the complex [Pd(μ-κ2-O,O-OAc)(κ2-C,P-(R)2PCH2C(Me)2CH2)]2 with R groups of varying size (R = cyclohexyl or isopropyl) in order to evaluate the steric effects of the phosphine ligand backbone on the outcome of the cross coupling of terminal aryl acetylenes with propargyl alcohol and N-propargylphthalimide
