In this project, I explore the use of monomania as a literary and rhetorical device that pathologizes deviance from certain norms—in this case, sexual and political norms— and allows for contradiction, dissonance, and reform. Using Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “The Birthmark” and Edmund Clarence Stedman’s poem “How Old Brown Took...
The Younger Dryas climatic event is a global phenomenon associated with a 1,000 year return to glacial conditions during the late Pleistocene period between 12,800 and 11,500 cal BP. Because of its significant effects on paleoenvironmental conditions in some parts of the world, archaeologists commonly seek to assess whether the...
While there is an abundance of literature written on academic program review in higher education, there is a gap in the literature found in program review related to community college workforce education programs, employer responsiveness, student employment outcomes, and program discontinuance (Fleming, 2015). Additionally, in the literature review, the researcher...
The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experience of students to discern the impact of their interaction with the food pantry. This knowledge may, in turn, influence future food pantry methods and wider policy, both at PNW College and more broadly. Not only does student hunger have...
This interview was conducted in the community center in Paisley. It was after the Pancake breakfast and raffle, people were cleaning up. We had walked by Vicki How-ard’s garden several times, and just admired it. My teachers had talked to her in Lake-view, already, so we were eager to give...
Pluvial Lake Chewaucan was a late Pleistocene lake, as much as 375 feet deep, covering 480 square miles in the northwestern part of the Great Basin in southern Oregon. The lake basin, now occupied by Summer Lake, Upper and Lower Chewaucan Marshes, and Lake
Abert, was formed by down-dropped fault...

Ivan forgot about our first, scheduled, interview which I had set up while at break-fast with Dave at Jerry’s. I really doubt I ever would have gotten to talk to the guy if I didn’t have that in at the beginning. We were just...
Textiles (including basketry, cordage, woven, knotted, or plaited products) make up a considerable portion of the perishable archaeological record in dry caves of the northern Great Basin region, much of which is created from plants and plant fibers. The archaeological study of precontact textiles greatly informs our understanding of how...
Past studies have shown that students struggle with main concepts of potential energy, such as reading graphs, understanding that potential energy can be negative, and, most pertinent to this research project, connecting potential energy to force. I designed an activity to help introductory physics students address these struggles. The activity...
