Drone Strikes : The Moral, Political, and Legal Implications of the Changing Character of War

Creator:: Khalife, Ryan A.
Abstract:: Drone strikes have become a defining strategy in the US War on Terror. Since the first combat drone strike in 2001, the executive branch has intentionally increased the deployment of drones for counterterrorism operations throughout the Middle East and North Africa. This thesis explores the moral and legal justifications for...

Turnover, Memory, Persistence: Four Decades of Ecological Community at Lost Valley

Creator:: Bruno, Mark P.
Abstract:: This study is an ethnographic investigation of residential turnover, organizational memory, and the persistence of Lost Valley, an Oregon ecovillage founded in 1989. Literature on organizational turnover, memory, and persistence is reviewed and integrated with scholarship on intentional communities and ecovillages, generating a theoretical framework for data collection and analysis....

A Corpus Linguistic Approach to Native American Authored Children’s Storybooks

Creator:: Goka-Dubose, Emiko
Abstract:: The counseling field is infused with multiculturalism and social justice competencies from the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs accreditation standards of the academic institutions to the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics. Counselors are tasked with understanding multiculturalism from self-awareness to clients’ worldviews to larger implications...

Optical Tweezers-Based Probe of Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductors at Microscopic Scales

Creator:: Busche, Jacob A.
Abstract:: A method for measuring the (dis)charging dynamics of organic semiconductors with single-electron resolution in multiple environments is developed using optical tweezers. A 1μm silica bead was coated with either a pristine organic semiconductor or an electron donor-acceptor blend, trapped using optical tweezers, and driven with an oscillating electrical driving force....

“We Don’t Stop ‘til We Get There”: Reframing the Hip Hop Ill-literacies of Latinx Youth

Creator:: Cole, Matthew C.
Abstract:: The experiences of Latinx youth are well-studied in U.S. schools, yet, few studies have focused on their experiences in Community Based Educational Spaces (CBES). CBES continue to be on the periphery of Education research despite the potential affordances of youth-led work in such out-of-school spaces (Baldridge, 2020). At the same...

A Study of Charging Behaviors in Organic Semiconductors using Optical Trapping

Creator:: Founds, Graham M.
Abstract:: We measure the charging and discharging of two organic materials, PCBM and ADT-TES-F. These materials are studied through the noncontact method of particle trapping known as Optical Tweezers, where an IR laser is used to constrain the motion of a coated or noncoated silica sphere while its positional data is...

What do people think about genetically engineering trees? A qualitative inquiry to understand how people reason about using forest biotechnology to address forest health threats

Creator:: Emery, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Climate change is increasing the severity of pest and pathogen infestations affecting forests. Resulting shifts in disturbance patterns can have substantial ecological, social, and economic impacts on forested ecosystems and their dependent communities. Researchers are actively investigating methods to improve tree resistance to specific pests and pathogens and enhance forest...

Paleoseismic Record of Peninsula Segment Earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault near San Francisco, CA and possible NSAF linkage to Cascadia

Creator:: Goldfinger, Chris
Abstract:: Lake Merced results have established the lake as a viable paleoseismic site on the northern San Francisco peninsula. The lake records ~ 2300 years of event beds, 17 in total. Prior to that the lake was open to the ocean and contains marine shells consistent with an estuarine environment. The...

Reforming the Land of Opportunity: Reframing Citizenship for the Deserving Poor in 1996 U.S. Welfare Policy Reform

Creator:: Montgomery, Ian M.
Abstract:: In his July 31, 1996 remarks on welfare reform, President Clinton signaled his intent to sign into law the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), bipartisan legislation aimed at reforming federal welfare policy. During the press conference, Clinton framed welfare as necessary but ultimately temporary relief, stating its...

Exceeding the standards: The benefits of place-based environmental education in schools

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca W.
Abstract:: There is a growing body of research that describes the benefits of place-based environmental education (EE) within the schools, including improved competencies, better interpersonal skills, decreased gaps in social divides, increased pupil engagement in learning, increased community awareness, and increased environmental stewardship. Though the benefits are many, few schools utilize...
