  • Feedback as Critical Care: An Antiracist, Feminist Praxis for Composition

    Creator:
    Rowland, Olivia A.
    Abstract:
    Feminist compositionists have long argued for addressing the feminization of composition, or its association with low value “women’s work,” by revaluing caring labor (Enos; Heinert and Phillips; Tuell). However, this argument assumes that writing teachers’ care work is beneficial for all students and teachers. Focusing on responding to student writing...

  • A Feminist Celebrates the Rediscovery of Immanence

    Creator:
    Lockhart, Janet L.
    Abstract:
    I offer a personal and prehistoric exploration of the concept of immanence, the principle of a divine force living, remaining, and operating within living creatures, inherent in the human, including the female; a unifying force that connects humans to each other, to nature, and to the earth. I examine the...

  • In Pursuit of Literacy

    Creator:
    Freemole, George Maynard
    Abstract:
    My teaching experiences raised questions about the nature of literacy, especially about its relationship with education and schooling. Common sense, straightforward definitions of literacy failed to address those questions adequately, and that inadequacy led to the study which culminates in this thesis. In Pursuit of Literacy focuses on literacy in...

  • Conditioning of unobserved period-specific abundances to improve estimation of dynamic populations

    Creator:
    Dail, David
    Abstract:
    Obtaining accurate estimates of animal abundance is made difficult by the fact that most animal species are detected imperfectly. Early attempts at building likelihood models that account for unknown detection probability impose a simplifying assumption unrealistic for many populations, however: no births, deaths, migration or emigration can occur in the...

  • A Normal Approximation to N-mixture Models with Applications in Large Abundance Estimation and Disease Surveillance

    Creator:
    Brintz, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    N-mixture models provide a structure for making inference about a local population size while accounting for imperfect detection. Using a binomial likelihood, they assume prior distributions on the size parameters and then integrate those parameters out of the full likelihood. For large population sizes, the established frequentist methods have exhibited...
