2018 Walden University Research Symposium
No full textWelcome to the 2018 Walden University Research Symposium. We are excited to be back in Minneapolis this year, where the symposium originally started 11 years ago! We also want to note that, for the first time this year, we have invited alumni who had previously participated in a New Scholars Workshop to serve as reviewers. The Research Symposium is an annual event that showcases research projects from our academic community, especially work by our recent graduates. As is usually the case, the nature of the research presented at the symposium is quite varied and reflects many of the challenges currently being faced by individuals and institutions across the globe. The presentations at this symposium appear in two different formats.
• Poster presentations provide an opportunity for researchers to engage with all individuals attending the symposium and potentially to network with other interested researchers.
• Using a roundtable presentation format, a select group of researchers is available for interactive discussions of their work, with handouts and visual materials available to support the discussion.
For this symposium, we are highlighting the in-progress research by fellows associated with Walden University’s Center for Social Change. The “magic” of a research symposium can be found in the interactions between presenters and audience. So, please, don’t be shy—step up, ask questions, make comments, and enjoy the experience.https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/symposium2018/1001/thumbnail.jp
2017 Walden University Research Symposium
No full textWelcome to the 2017 Walden University Research Symposium. We are glad you can join us in celebrating our 10th anniversary of this Walden University tradition. The Research Symposium is an annual event that showcases research projects from our academic community, especially work by our recent graduates. If there is a theme this year, beyond their shared focus on social change, it would be research aimed at “assuring success” for a variety of people and groups. The presentations at a symposium appear in two different formats
• Poster presentations provide an opportunity for researchers to engage with all individuals attending the symposium and potentially to network with other interested researchers. New to this year’s symposium are poster presentations by local alumni who have continued the research they started as doctoral students.
• Using a roundtable presentation format, a select group of researchers is available for interactive discussions of their work, with handouts and visual materials available to support the discussion. For this symposium, we are highlighting the in-progress research by fellows associated with Walden University’s Center for Social Change.
The “magic” of a research symposium can be found in the interactions between presenters and audience, however. So, please, don’t be shy—step up, ask questions, make comments, and enjoy the experience.https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/current/1000/thumbnail.jp
2019 Walden University Research Symposium

The Research Symposium is an annual event that showcases research projects from our academic community, especially work by our recent graduates. The poster presentations provide an opportunity for researchers to engage with all individuals attending the symposium and potentially to network with other interested researchers. If there is a theme this year, beyond the shared focus on social change, it would be research aimed at understanding how to respond to the challenges that face people in their daily lives.

[Review of] Daniel Walden, ed. Twentieth·Century American·Jewish Fiction Writers
No full textDuring the last several years, the rapidly appearing volumes of the Dictionary of Literary Biography, particularly such specialized volumes as American Writers in Paris, 1920-1929 and American Realists and Naturalists, have become an important tool of my college library\u27s reference section for American literature undergraduate students. Especially valuable is this new DLR for those of us who teach either a general multi-ethnic American literature or a specialized Jewish-American or Yiddish-American literature course. The fifty-one individual essays deal with all of the giants, including Bellow, Malamud, Doctorow, Mailer, Heller, and Roth as well as the much less well-known Gerald Green, Jay Neugeboren and Susan Fromberg Schaeffer. Daniel Walden, in an eminently sensible Foreword, indicates that his method of selection was based on choosing those who wrote about the Jewish-American experience or whose work as shaped by their Jewish cultural environment. He declares that the importance of the American-Jewish experience in shaping a writer\u27s fictional world ... has been crucial in my determination to include that author. His choices have been very good; all major writers are included. Beyond those, of course, each of us would pick and choose with wide variations; I see Walden\u27s choices as middle of the road, considering the hundreds of productive writers across the cultural and political spectrum who are potential entrants to this volume
Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936
Walden Pond and the performative touristic gaze
No full textThis is an ethnographic study of tourism at Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. I argue that Walden Pond operates as a site that creates tensions among visitors due to the ways that time has transformed the once serene landscape into an overcrowded swimming pool. These tensions, however, fall under the expectation that the State Reservation of Massachusetts (re)creates Thoreau’s Walden as suggested in his discourse, but the performance of history is enacted through the creation of meaning among visitors engaging in a dialogue that references the past, talking about a space that has cultural significance. Exploring the touristic experience and the rhetorical performance of Walden Pond as a sublime body of nature, I wanted to see how the performance of tourism was manifesting itself in the gaze of tourists and what they could teach us about tourism. My technique involved a process of close observation, learning about people’s lives, and constructively listening to their perspectives. I first offer an introduction to my study in the first chapter, and then owing the history of Walden Pond to the second chapter in order to provide a context for the social evolution of the site into the twenty-first century. In chapter three I then discuss the tour itself and markers of the pond, including the Thoreau house replica, fence, signs, the embodiment of walking, and the actual house site. Chapter 4 examines the visitors’ perspectives on: Walden Pond as a sacred location, the house site, a place of nature, and authenticity. By understanding Walden Pond as a representation of itself and as a space to talk about the past, we begin to see less problems, dissatisfaction, and ambivalence that are connected to all the reasons that I list throughout the study, and more performances of history unfolding at the tourist attraction

No full textThe Importance of Research in the Quest for Excellence and Equity in Education
No full textApplied educational research is most significant when it addresses important problems of practice. More research is needed on instructional improvement, clarity of learning outcomes, and needs of the learner—critical factors in assuring excellence in educational practice. Further, there is a need for more research on educational equity, namely the study of what factors are most important in assuring that all learners have the maximum opportunity for success regardless of background factors such as ethnicity, gender, and income level. In this presentation, Dr. Larry Daniel focuses on steps educational researchers can take to assure their research is relevant in terms of educational excellence and equity. Examples will be provided from research at all levels from preschool through adult education. (44 minutes)
