Analyzing Humboldt's role in the California Geographer both spatially, and as an institution. Along with looking at the quantitive data of the journal since its conception in 1960.

This poster presents findings and recommendations based on a process evaluation of an AY 2019-20 CAHSS scale up of major-based peer mentoring. The evaluation is based on field notes and interviews with peer mentors, students, and department leaders. MB peer mentors serve as resource bridges, a source of street knowledge, and a conduit for major academic integration. This model is informed by: (1) research on socio-cultural capital in higher education; (2) student success research on the unique needs for academic and career integration in the middle years; and (3) critical theories of student integration that center minoritized students, first-generation students, and all students broadly.

February 17-21, 2020, students from the theatre department attended the 2020 KCACTF (regional theatre festival) in Ft. Collins, Co. The students participated in a variety of workshops, competitions, and summer job searches for Acting, Musical Theatre, and Technical Theatre. Their experience is shared through a video presentation, filmed and edited by those who attended.

During the summer of 2019, I was given the opportunity to participate in the HSU Tibet program under the direction of Anthony Rossi. The program is set up to allow each student a chance to conduct field observations of various topics. My focus, as a Religious Studies major, was set to learn about the various ritualistic practices unique to Tibet Buddhist. The ritual that I have chosen to focus on is the Tibetan Buddhist Cham, a festival dance that we observed in Drigung on June 30. My goal is that my project gives a comprehensive understanding of the religious goals of this ritual through an analysis of the dance formation, history, and meanings to its community.

#RepresentationMatters is a social media campaign to educate the world on why representation matters in literature, education, and entertainment media. For those who began the hashtag, it means that the storytellers are people of color, women, LGBTQ+, disabled, neurodivergent, or any combination thereof. The stories by these artists do not center on being a member of these communities, but do not erase the character’s experience of belonging to them, either. The artists hope to show the world the impact of being heard and seen, and to draw attention to how literature, education, and the entertainment industry currently depict their experiences.

When Oliphant v. Suquamish was passed it completely changed the paradigm in rape cases. It created a legal loophole for perpetrators to escape without punishment due to a jurisdictional power shift to federal governance. This allows more sexual assaults and abductions on reservations because there is not readily accessible or adequate repercussions for the behavior of rapists. The exploitation of mother earth’s resources can be related to the violation and objectification of Native American bodies as both were violated by the settler state.

This presentation looks at the many ways that archaeologists and students in ANTH 352 - Experimental Archaeology try to gain a better understanding of past technologies by recreating those technologies. Students research, design and implement experimental projects that help them to understand how peoples of the past used the environment and materials available to them. Projects include the creation of lithic tools, re-creating ancient ceramics and make-up, experimenting with wattle and daub construction, and ancient textile production technology.

Within the United States, especially with California's new sexual education model, parents are pushing back due beliefs of abstinence. While these believes should be honored, most abstinence only sexual education curriculums are rooted in misinformation and can harm a child's development. Within this project, I will be exploring the possibility of a comprehensive sexual education program that can be abstinence centered.

In efforts to concretely display aspects of what bell hooks deems as a ‘White Supremacist Captialist Imperial Patriarchy’ this research aims to hold accountable the ‘normative’ and ‘professional’ requirements of discourse within any pedagogical space. To create a innovatively personal perspective on the ways with which we receive and are received by peers and mentors alike; challenging the perpetuation of the manifold affects within White Supremacy while instilling, hopefully, bravery with TQPOC to refute limitations set on their being.

Artistic communities can be problematic, as any community can be. One aspect of activism is working from within, and poetry communities are a great way to do this. It allows for people to communicate in an artistic manner, and communication is the best way to resolve conflict/differences. By taking a stand against violence through poetry, the communities hearing these poems will be open to taking in this vital information because it’s within their own community.
