Show moreFrom Dolly Parton to Taylor Swift, country music encompasses a wide range of artists with a variety of unique traits. Public persona plays a large role in the marketing of country music, affecting how audiences respond and relate to artists. Through the citation and analysis of recent news articles, I interpreted the media's response to current country artists relating to their public personas and social media presences. My process consisted of collecting articles from LexisNexis as well as the websites of popular online news sources. The articles, ranging from 2013 to early 2015, were centered around Dolly Parton and her over 60-year-long career, as well as newer country artists such as Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, and Florida-Georgia Line. The majority of articles focused on each artist's specific persona, and how these personas manifest on the internet, television, and live performance. However, each recent article in the database featuring the artists was considered, and I was able to identify a variety of contemporary music industry topics, many of which emerged throughout research process. For example, the internet's effect on the music industry was a subject that kept appearing. Not only does the internet offer streaming services that make music more accessible than ever, but it alters the entire artist-audience dynamic by making once-distant stars more relatable. The internet has also encouraged blending with other genres such as pop and hip-hop,creating new sub-genres and transforming artists into completely unique celebrity personalities.

Abstract/Description
For people all over the planet, sea level rise is accelerating and is impacting Floridians directly. Due to the accelerated melting of ice as well as the warming of the ocean, sea level is estimated to rise to significantly damaging levels by the year 2100. Cities such as Miami already suffer from flooding after a mere 6-inch tidal rise. Consequently, local communities must plan alternative strategies and policies to mitigate damage from sea level rise.

Show moreFor people all over the planet, sea level rise is accelerating and is impacting Floridians directly. Due to the accelerated melting of ice as well as the warming of the ocean, sea level is estimated to rise to significantly damaging levels by the year 2100. Cities such as Miami already suffer from flooding after a mere 6-inch tidal rise. Consequently, local communities must plan alternative strategies and policies to mitigate damage from sea level rise. The U.S. federal government has the financial ability to respond but not the jurisdictional ability to develop on or regulate state-owned or private land. The White House has produced documents like the Presidentâ ’s Climate Action Plan, and other agencies have produced climate change adaptation plans. These encourage local governments to carry out adaptations but do not provide specific strategies. The impacts of climate change will be felt at local levels and many adaptation strategies depend on effective land use and infrastructure management, which are activities undertaken by local governments. Local communities have responded with various climate adaptations and documents, including vulnerability assessments, comprehensive plans, and land use regulations. Through these, Dr. Butler and I are exploring how communities in Florida are responding to the effects of climate change through climate adaptation strategies.

Show moreThis article reports on the ways that 77 students in an international studies programme constructed meanings for global citizenship. The focus was on their personal meanings for the topic and how they articulated a global identity with their national civic beliefs. Data was collected from online discussion boards, written essays and 20 interviews. A key finding was that the students' political language for global citizenship, examined here in terms of purpose, membership and relationship with national citizenship, was predominantly a moral commitment framed in universal language. A second finding was that the students understood global citizenship as a heterogeneous and complex affiliation shaped by a range of sources. The implication is that citizenship education emphasizing a narrow notion of patriotism may encourage students to disengage from civic life because it does not represent their lived experiences and identities. Insights for making citizenship education practices more inclusive are discussed., In this study, information about national identity and global citizenship were collected from 77 students enrolled in an international studies program through discussion boards, essays, and interviews. Results regarding global citizenship showed that participants’ language was often framed in moral and universal terms, and that students saw global citizenship as complex and drew from diverse sources to understand what it meant. The article also discussed how citizenship education needs to be broader and more inclusive than the traditional focus on patriotism.

Show moreScientific knowledge often appears to contradict many students' religious beliefs. Indeed, the assumptions of science appear contradictory to the metaphysical claims of many religions. This conflict is most evident in discussions of biological evolution. Teachers, in attempts to limit the controversy, often avoid this topic or teach it superficially. Recently, there has been a political effort to "teach to the controversy" – which some see as a way of introducing religious explanations for biological diversity into science classrooms. Many science educators reject this approach, insisting that we limit classroom discussions to science alone. This "science only" approach leaves the negotiation of alternative knowledge frameworks to students, who are often ill-prepared for such epistemological comparisons. To support students' understanding of science while maintaining their religious commitments, this article explores the utility of emphasizing the boundaries of scientific knowledge and the need to support students in their comparison of contradictory knowledge frameworks.

Show moreThis study investigates learning about civics and citizenship throughout individuals' lives (lifelong) and across various pedagogical settings (lifewide). A basic hypothesis is that civics teachers, among all social actors, are particularly well positioned for engaging in this type of introspective exercise because they are both familiar with civics and politics and also with teaching and learning processes. The lifelong civic learning of civics teachers was examined in the different settings in which they acquire their knowledge, values, skills and ideological frameworks, and to understand the relative weight of each one in their overall learning process. This study also coincides with the implementation of a new provincial civics course for grade 10 students in Ontario, Canada during the 2000–1 school year. This case study consists of interviews with 15 social studies teachers who have taught the new civics course in Ontario. One of the clearest findings of the study is the powerful influence of the experience of teaching and of early family socialization on the acquisition of civic knowledge, skills and values, and on the development of political beliefs. Civic engagement and political participation were also considered an important source of civic learning, particularly in relation to the acquisition of civic and political skills. This is a finding that deserves further exploration, because our understanding of social movement learning remains limited. The findings suggest the promotion of lifelong citizenship learning entails the creation and nurturing of inclusive democratic spaces that have particularly high civic educational potential.

Show moreIn this research study, we undertook a content analysis of thirteen economics and business textbooks, which were examined for their coverage of the social economy, which encompasses a range of nonprofit and social enterprise organizations that put "people before profits." The goal was to understand the ways that these textbooks represent official knowledge of the economy that is passed on to secondary students and how that knowledge is valued and organized in society. The findings show that the social economy is weakly represented in our sample although three did contain some content about the topic. There were two key dimensions to this finding. First, there was little recognition of the social economy as an economic sector. Second, there was fairly consistent coverage of social economy organizations in the textbooks although it lacked depth and little attention was paid to their social purpose. Comparing business and economic textbooks, our analysis showed that the business textbooks had broader overall coverage of the social economy and, significantly, more recognition of it as an economic sector.

There were few age and gender effects on temporal stability but rank-order, ipsative, and mean level stability were lower among Blacks and individuals with lower education. Future research should explore additional demographic predictors of temporal plasticity in a diverse range of samples, and employ observer ratings to assess personality.

Show moreThis research examined adolescents' explanatory frameworks for global poverty during their participation in an international studies program. Poverty, like other persistent social problems, has taken on new dimensions and scale due to globalization. International development theories were employed to analyze the range of their responses. The data showed that the students synthesized a range of information to make multifaceted explanations for poverty that included the role of globalization in structuring poverty. These findings suggest that adolescents can develop "synthesizing minds" although all students will not interpret the same information in the same way. Implications for the development of global citizenship in terms of the formation of ethical responsibilities to resolve social problems are also discussed.

Show moreThis study explores in-service elementary and secondary science teachers' conceptions of the Nature of Scientific Inquiry and the influence participation in two different Research Experience for Teacher (RET) had on these conceptions. Participant teachers attended one of two six week RET programs in which they worked with scientists to engage in scientific inquiry. Before and after the RETs, teachers completed the Views of Scientific Inquiry (VOSI) questionnaire. Teachers' answers were analyzed to determine the degree of sophistication of their understanding of five facets of scientific inquiry. Both elementary and secondary teacher participants showed improvement in their understanding of nature of scientific inquiry as a result of program participation, and both programs were successful in supporting the development of inquiry conceptions, although secondary science teachers started and finished the RET's with a more sophisticated understandings of scientific inquiry. Areas of improvement for elementary teachers included the role of questions in science and the role subjectivity and creativity play in the processes of science, and for secondary teachers growth was seen in the role of questions, the relationship of data and evidence, the distinction of experiments and other means of investigations, and the varied methods of science. Implications of these results are discussed.

Show moreBackground/Context: The current national debate over the purposes of civic education is largely tied to outdated notions of citizenship that overlook its changing nature under globalization. Civic education is based on a legalistic understanding of citizenship that emphasizes patriotism and the structures and functions of government. This study examined adolescents' civic beliefs and affiliations, drawing on theories of transnational and global citizenship. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study: The purpose was to examine diverse adolescents' vocabularies of citizenship, a concept that captures the tensions in their civic beliefs and affiliations. Their vocabularies were explored in terms of two topics at the intersection of national and global affiliations: universal human rights and global citizenship. The central question asked was: How do adolescents from immigrant backgrounds understand the tensions between national and global civic affiliations, and do they differ from dominant-culture adolescents' understandings? Setting: The research setting was the Pennsylvania Governor's School for International Studies, a 5-week summer program for high school students that emphasizes current scholarship and skills in international affairs, cultural studies, and foreign language. Research Design: A mixed-method case study design was employed to collect detailed and rich data on the students' beliefs about citizenship. Findings/Results: The findings showed that the students from immigrant backgrounds favored universal positions and were the only students to call attention to national economic inequalities. In contrast, a majority of the dominant-culture students gave a more central role to national affiliations. However, over half of the students switched between universal and nationally oriented positions for the issues of global citizenship and human rights. It is argued that these switches represent a strong indication of the tensions in civic affiliations in light of globalization. Conclusions/Recommendations: The findings presented here suggest that the question of either national- or global-oriented civic education makes little sense. This research suggests that differentiated forms of civic education are needed if all youth will have access to full citizenship and the range of civic affiliations needed in the world. Two approaches for reconceptualizing civic education are proposed: Civic education curricula should focus on the intersection of national with global issues and affiliations, and civic education should address, in addition to civic attitudes, skills, and knowledge, a conscious effort to help adolescents build flexible and multiple civic identities., In this case study, the civic beliefs and affiliations of high-school students were examined by looking at their vocabularies during a 5-week summer program on international affairs, cultural studies, and foreign language. The two topics of interest were universal human rights and global citizenship. Results from this study showed, overall, that students from immigrant backgrounds favored universal positions and called attention to national economic inequalities, whereas students with dominant-culture backgrounds favored national affiliations. In the context global citizenship and human rights, however, over half of the students switched between universal and nationally oriented views. These findings suggest that framing citizenship education in terms of national vs. global interests is misguided. The authors proposed that civic education should re-focus instead on the intersection of national and global issues and affiliations, and help adolescents build flexible and multiple civic identities.

Each volunteering, consenting senior was placed into one of two groups: walking tours outside, then discussions (n=37); and focus group discussions indoors about photographs of BE conditions potentially influencing mobility (n=43). The authors sought to identify BE factors-both real and perceived by participating seniors-related to their ability to walk around senior wellness centers in a healthy and safe manner. The authors focused specifically on available literature and pilot study data for their concept of "safe senior zones" around senior wellness centers serving urban communities in this article. They also characterized their study population regarding sociodemographic variables and doctor-diagnosed chronic diseases, and types of walking aids reported used to help prevent falls. Their results can inform future applied practice and research on traffic-related exposures and BE factors concerning seniors, and support policy and planning to benefit community environmental public health.

Show moreObjectives: Pharmacist-managed collaborative services in a family practice setting are described, and diabetes and hypertension outcomes are assessed. Methods: Pharmacist-managed clinics, pharmacotherapy consultations, and drug information services are provided for a medically underserved, predominantly African American population. A pharmacy residency director, an ambulatory care pharmacy resident and three PharmD candidate student pharmacists work directly with physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and social workers to form an interdisciplinary health care team. Providers utilize pharmacy services through consultations and referrals. Collaboration outcomes were evaluated in twentytwo patients with diabetes and thirty hypertensive patients. Patients were retrospectively followed throughout their history with pharmacy service. Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) was tracked before referral to pharmacy services, 3 to 6 months after, and as the most current measure after at least 6 months. Blood pressure (BP) was observed before pharmacy involvement, 2 to 4 months later, and then currently for at least 4 months with the service. The mean of the most current markers was calculated, and the percent of patients at their goal marker was compared to national averages. Results: Fifty percent of pharmacy service patients met the American Diabetes Association hemoglobin A1c goal of less than 7% in our evaluation compared to the national mean of 49.8% overall and 44% in African Americans. Thirty percent of patients were at their BP goal while 33.1% of patients without diabetes and 33.2% of patients with diabetes nationally are at goal. Conclusion: The medically underserved patients under the care of pharmacy services achieved a higher percentage at their A1C goal than the national mean. The percentage of patients who achieved their BP goals was comparable to the national average. Increasing utilization of pharmacy services in the family practice setting allows for pharmacists and providers to form a trusted relationship while providing enhanced care and potentially improved outcomes for patients.

Drawing on the social disorganization and concentrated disadvantage perspectives, this paper uses semi-parametric group-based trajectory modeling to examine homicide trajectories in Chicago neighborhoods from 1965-1995. Significant variability is found in homicide trajectories across neighborhoods. Multivariate results show that disadvantage increases the likelihood of having an increasing or persistently high homicide trajectory. Social disorganization and family disruption are also predictive of variation in homicide trajectories, but only in communities with already low levels of homicide. Other theoretically relevant predictors are evaluated, and suggestions for theoretical refinement and future research are discussed.

Show moreThe poster will use text, diagrams, screenshots, models, and developing e-science digital collections at Florida State University (FSU) Libraries as an experimental approach in developing a digital preservation management policy strategy that promotes current and future use of FSU Libraries digital assets. Scientific research from quantum mechanics, biological science, and oceanography research disciplines will be used as digital collection development and preservation models for education and outreach strategies for engaging disciplinary research communities at FSU. The project will explore the use of standards-based description and the ingest, access, data management, and preservation functional entities of the open archival information system (OAIS) reference model as they relate to digital collection development and preservation of early works on quantum mechanics by Paul A.M. Dirac such as his 1926 hand-writing dissertation and other keen insights from primary source materials on quantum mechanics, biological science images of biological silica, and oceanography technical reports. Select materials from these research disciplines will be digitized, cataloged, and made available online via libraries public access catalog (OPAC), OCLC WorldCat, and DigiTool institutional repository (IR) along with being preserved via the Florida Digital Archive (FDA) and/or MetaArchive. The poster will reference Purdue's work on digital curation profile development for research discipline-specific communities and propose a theory of metatriangulation that maps the Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) CCSDS 650.0-P-1.1 (Pink Book) Issue 1.1 August 2009, The DCC Curation Lifecycle Model, and Boyers Model of Scholarship in the development of a digital preservation management policy strategy for interdisciplinary consideration and research community engagement. The poster will exhibit FSU Libraries' local collaboration with the Department of Biological Science, Department of Oceanography, Special Collections and Dirac Science Library; regional collaboration with Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA); and national/international collaboration with MetaArchive Cooperative for data management and/or preservation.

Abstract/Description
This article outlines the historiographical importance of the International Colloquium of Women's and Gender History in Mexico, particularly in the context of the author's own scholarship, especially her dissertation. It argues for the need for women's and gender history, and for a dialogue, by means of which these separate but related bodies of scholarship can inform the other. It includes a summary of the author's dissertation and its theoretical influences, a review of historical topics...

It argues for the need for women's and gender history, and for a dialogue, by means of which these separate but related bodies of scholarship can inform the other. It includes a summary of the author's dissertation and its theoretical influences, a review of historical topics discussed at the first two conferences of the International Colloquium of Women's and Gender History, and a discussion of the historiographical implications of such developments.

Rethinking the Social Studies Curriculum in the Context of Globalization
Title
Rethinking the Social Studies Curriculum in the Context of Globalization: Education for Global Citizenship in the US.
Creator

Abstract/Description
Scholarship on globalization suggests that new forms of democratic citizenship and politics are emerging, yet the US educational system remains resistant to global perspectives in the curriculum and continues to favors national identity and patriotism over learning about the world. A national approach to citizenship, which is the norm in US social studies classrooms, is unable to explain the complexity of global issues and their impact on students' lives.

Show moreScholarship on globalization suggests that new forms of democratic citizenship and politics are emerging, yet the US educational system remains resistant to global perspectives in the curriculum and continues to favors national identity and patriotism over learning about the world. A national approach to citizenship, which is the norm in US social studies classrooms, is unable to explain the complexity of global issues and their impact on students' lives. The argument is made that a new orientation to social studies education is necessary in order to understand and address the effects of globalization. Two exemplary programs that teach about the world illustrate some of the problems and issues with global perspectives specific to the US educational context. These cases indicate that, while there is a strong base for global studies, significant aspects of globalization are overlooked in the social studies curriculum., In this article, two programs that teach about the world were used to illustrate some of the problems and issues with the national approach to citizenship as it is often taught in U.S. social studies classrooms. These case studies highlighted the shortcomings of emphasizing national identity and patriotism when trying to explain complex aspects of globalization and how they relate to students’ lives. The article suggests ways in which a new orientation in the social studies curriculum might be able to overcome these limitations.

Abstract/Description
The demanding first years of teaching are a time when many teachers leave the teaching profession or discard the reform-minded practice emphasized in teacher preparation. If we are to lessen teacher attrition and more effectively support teachers during their development, a better understanding of what occurs during their induction into the profession is needed.

Show moreThe demanding first years of teaching are a time when many teachers leave the teaching profession or discard the reform-minded practice emphasized in teacher preparation. If we are to lessen teacher attrition and more effectively support teachers during their development, a better understanding of what occurs during their induction into the profession is needed. The question that drove this research was what factors influence how a beginning science teacher negotiates entry into teaching? Specifically, we sought to understand how a beginning science teacher's identities interact with the teaching context, how this interactions shapes his use of reform minded teaching practice, and how the negotiation of identity, context and practice influence a novice teacher's employment decisions. The study involved two years of data collection; data included classroom and school observations, questionnaires, interviews, and teaching artifacts (such as lesson plans and assessments). The results demonstrate how conflicts in identities, institutional expectations, and personal dispositions of this novice influenced his transition in becoming a member of his school community. Implications of these interactions for teacher preparation and support are provided.
