What do you do to show your excellence in scholarship and teaching in the first tenure track line in a new clinical professional program? This presentation will share (honestly and with some humor) how I set myself up to do so . . . then discovered and have met a series of challenges. You will learn a bit about current practice in speech language pathology, a bit about how to integrate multiple goals into a single endeavor, and hopefully have your own creativity sparked. This presentation was created to be applicable widely to early faculty who need ideas, support, and resources. Please join me!
My research analyzes South Bend's civil rights movement, from 1930-1971, through the papers of the Streets family. I follow the gendered actions of dentist Bernard Streets, and Odie Mae Streets, also an activist and the spouse of Bernard. Bernard and Odie Mae Streets were not singular in South Bend -- they worked in community with Black leaders and, sometimes, white allies. Black men, including Bernard Streets, organized an exclusive political club, located above a pool hall. One of the aims of the local civil rights movement was to create other locations, besides pool halls, where Black young people spend leisure time. In the 1930s the Streets revived the local NAACP, along with another couple, J. Chester and Elizabeth Fletcher Allen, who were both attorneys. The NAACP successfully ended segregation in movie theatres, and exclusion from the Engman Natatorium. Odie Mae Streets studied Spanish and aided local Latinas through the YWCA. She also helped launch the first Head Start program. In the 1960s Bernard Streets served on the newly formed Human Relations and Fair Employment Commission, which took on racial exclusion and police brutality at a local bar. I argue that the gendered roles of these activists were both traditional and fluid, and that the right to recreate was a major area of contention in the local civil rights struggle.
This presentation explores the results of Jennifer Hatfield’s dissertation case study that examined student perceptions of course design features that are viewed as most or least helpful in three required asynchronous online courses in the Vera Z Dwyer College of Health Sciences. The research questions were (1) Which course design features do students identify as the most effective for supporting their learning in an online course? and (2) What aspects of an online course do students perceive as most and least beneficial to their success? To obtain information about course design features a survey was disseminated via Qualtrics to five asynchronous online courses in the College of Health Sciences. Results showed that students found elements of course organization to be the most helpful in their success. A more detailed view of the results will be provided to participants with examples of course features students find beneficial to their success.
What do Bud Light, Major League Baseball and Disney have in common? Perhaps a variety of things, but for sure they belong to a growing club of businesses and corporations being criticized by American conservatives for … being woke? This phenomenon of the conservative critique of corporations is a paradox, because for generations, American conservatives and the Republican party have been closely associated with the defense of capitalism and the premier status of corporations in the United States. They have advocated for low taxes and limited regulations on business corporations, and they have positioned themselves opposed to government rules that would inhibit corporations’ decisions about what is best for their financial and economic health. Conservatives folded this into a defense of the national state, generalizing to all corporations the principle “What's good for General Motors is good for the country.” At the same time, advocates for corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, investing with triple bottom-line, and related approaches have called upon corporations to see themselves as responsible actors in society beyond the economy, and to serve as stewards of interests beyond those of the shareholder. Yet, while some corporations have responded to these pressures, they have found themselves in conflict with previous conservative supporters. When business enterprises incorporate policies respecting gender, sexual or racial equity or support environmental or public safety movements, conservative politicians have criticized them as being “woke” and anti-American and have even undertaken actions to punish them. This talk explores the conflicts in US conservatives’ attitudes toward corporate capitalism when corporations challenge a narrow understanding of American national identity.
This 35-minute work is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the composer and scholars Timothy O'Malley and Carolyn Pirtle from the University of Notre Dame during Dr. Jorge Muñiz's sabbatical leave in 2022-2023. This collaboration has led to the development of a new concept around the lyricism, emotion, and the powerful message of the Psalms. The performance of The Book of Psalms will feature the composer at the piano, accompanied by reading and commentary on these texts.
This meta-analysis will examine the effectiveness of executive function interventions for struggling learners and students with disabilities. Executive functions encompass a set of cognitive processes responsible for goal-directed behavior, self-regulation, and problem-solving skills. Struggling learners and individuals with disabilities often face challenges in these domains, leading to academic difficulties and impaired daily functioning. Studies that address executive functioning and include academic outcomes will be included. Implications for teachers will be discussed.
