  • Faculty-Led Study Abroad as Social Justice Praxis: A Phenomenological Case Study

    Creator:
    Barbour, Nancy Staton

  • Global Citizen, Global Consumer: Study Abroad, Neoliberal Convergence, and the Eat, Pray, Love Phenomenon

    Creator:
    Barbour, Nancy Staton
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the convergence of neoliberal rhetoric across popular media, academic, and institutional discourses, and draws connections between contemporary women's travel literature and common scripts in study abroad promotion. Finding such narratives to be freighted with ethnocentric constructs and tacit endorsements of market-based globalization, I critique the mainstreaming of...

  • "Style upon style": The Handmaid's Tale as a palimpsest of genres

    Creator:
    Boulware, Taylor J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis undertakes an examination of Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, as a layering of genres. A futuristic dystopia that imagines late twentieth-century America as having fallen into neo-Puritanism and totalitarianism following widespread infertility and violence, The Handmaid’s Tale invites contemplation of various forms of fundamentalism, radicalism, and...

  • FAR : an end-user language to support cottage e-services

    Creator:
    Chekka, Sudheer Kumar
    Abstract:
    E-commerce has begun to evolve beyond simple web pages to more sophisticated ways of conducting e-business transactions, such as through electronic advertising, negotiation, and delivery. However, to participate in these advances requires the skills of professional programmers, and end-user owners of small businesses often cannot justify this expense. In this...

    Lens, Frederic, Cooper, Laurel, Gandolfo, Maria Alejandra, Groover, Andrew, Jaiswal, Pankaj, Lachenbruch, Barbara, Spicer, Rachel, Staton, Margaret E., Stevenson, Dennis W., Walls, Ramona L., and Wegrzyn, Jill
    Abstract:
    A wealth of information on plant anatomy and morphology is available in the current and historical literature, and molecular biologists are producing massive amounts of transcriptome and genome data that can be used to gain better insights into the development, evolution, ecology, and physiological function of plant anatomical attributes. Integrating...

  • Toward end-user debugging of machine-learned programs

    Creator:
    Kulesza, Todd
    Abstract:
    The results of a machine learning from user behavior can be thought of as a program, and like all programs, it may need to be debugged. Providing ways for the user to debug it matters because without the ability to fix errors, users may find that the learned program’s errors...

  • Novel approaches to promoting end-user programming

    Creator:
    Bahmani, Faezeh
    Abstract:
    End-user programming has become widespread. The increasing size of this population and the prevalence of barriers that they face has sparked the development of approaches that promote end-user programing by helping them overcome barriers and teaching them programming. Despite the fact that these approaches have done well in achieving those...

  • Gender differences in end-user debugging strategies

    Creator:
    Narayanan, Vaishnavi
    Abstract:
    There has been little prior research reporting strategy usage in end-user problem solving, and even less using gender as a factor. Without this type of information, enduser programming systems cannot know the “target” at which to aim, if they are to support male and female end-user programmers’ debugging. As a...

  • Supporting end-user debugging

    Creator:
    Kissinger, Cory
    Abstract:
    Although researchers have begun to explicitly support end-user programmers’ debugging by providing information to help them find bugs, there is little research addressing the right content to communicate to these users. The specific semantic content of these debugging communications matters because, if the users are not actually seeking the information...
