This research project utilizes Intergroup Threat Theory to examine how positive and negative contact with African-Americans relate to feelings toward Black Lives Matter, the Confederate Flag, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump. It also examines how this relationship between contact and feelings is mediated by perceptions of realistic and symbolic threat from African-Americans. This project has implications for understanding how having diverse social experiences may influence our political beliefs. This research also shows that Intergroup Threat Theory goes beyond just examining evaluations of groups, and extends to political figures, movements, and symbols as well.

We examined the relationship between intergroup contact and intergroup threat on measures of discrimination against Hispanic/Latino immigrants in the United States. Specifically, we are interested in if contact and threat can predict perceptions of immigrants as "American". Our results found that negative contact experiences with immigrants predict perceiving immigrants as threats and categorizing them as not American.

My project contains a list of a few selected free-style poems that I've combined to make a short poetry book that discusses how literacy sponsors have affected my academic worldview, and how their influences have affected my opportunities inside different academic communities and academic fields. Also how literacy sponsors impact everyone's development inside of the academic world as well.

This creative project consists of a coloring book of basic American Sign Language; such as the alphabet, mannerisms, emergency signs, and other signs that I thought would be important to have within the book. Plus a description in the back explaining what American Sign language is and a brief bit of history within the Deaf community.

We have been working directly with the Humboldt County Historical Society over this past semester in an effort to offer them a way of gaining the community's attention and ultimately producing more members of the society. By making a Story Map, we offer the local communities in and around Eureka, California a way to digitally and physically make their way through Old Town Eureka so that they can compare the historical photos of the area to what is now there. We hope that this educates our local communities of the history that surrounds them, and encourages them to visit and support the Humboldt County Historical Society whenever and however they can.

A look at how the echoes of 70s and 80s are still seen today.

For my project I wanted to focus on the impact that mandated Physical Fitness Testing has on students. The state of California mandates that students receive a physical fitness test. The test then categorizes the results and measures health based on these results. What it fails to take into account are biological, psychological, and socioeconomic components that can contribute to the students results. Body image and eating disorders are a prevalent issue amongst our society. What I hope this project addresses is the limited research we have on the detriment of physical fitness testing and if and how it impacts the mental health of students.

The Humboldt Botanical Garden, located in southern Eureka, is where the Lost Coast Brewery Native Plant Garden thrives. Our project for The Humboldt Botanical Garden will focus on the described main role of botanical gardens. Given The Humboldt Botanical Garden is focusing on exhibiting endemic species to the Northern California region, we would like to emphasize its role as a place for understanding plants and recognizing the species diversity in the region. One of the ways to make it possible is to expand access to the botanical garden. Through making a trail map that displays whole paths in the garden, people will gain another way to navigate the garden.
