Sammich and Rumples Pilot Preview
- Kylie MosbacherEnvironmental StudiesUndergraduate Student
I received the Undergraduate Research and Creative Award in Fall of 2015, and as per the requirements of the grant I am to present my work at IdeaFest this coming April. It is a children's story nearing the end of its production, and will mostly be a stationary display or booth where I'll gladly do Q&A about the process, where I'd like to see it go, and so forth.
Saudi Women Enforce Freedom of Expression
- Yolena RamirezCommunicationUndergraduate Student
This project promotes freedom of expression in today’s world by demonstrating advocates in a hostile society creating a movement to show women can be just as competent as men. It is important to acknowledge women are still fighting to receive the benefits of equality in other countries. Women in all parts of the world should be able to engage and contribute within any given community to enhance the quality of society. I find it amazing that women advocates in Saudi Arabia risked their lives, ruined their reputation, and even lost their jobs in order to support the movement by demonstrating their freedom of expression.

Self-Harming Practices from the Perspective of Forensics: An Interdisciplinary Approach for Anthropologists.
- Manisha DavesarAnthropologyGraduate Student
This paper explores the ways in which forensic anthropology can utilize other forensic disciplines (psychiatry and medicine) when analyzing remains for medico-legal purposes, specifically when determining manner of death. Forensic anthropologists need not just extensive knowledge on the trauma’s morphological differences, but also the reasons behind the actions that lead to suicide or homicide. Death prevalence, the physical differences between suicide and homicide, and the psychology of those actions is extensively looked at. The author finds that there are distinct patterns in the physical remains that can be corroborated with psychological evaluations and documented prior behavior.
Sequoia Park Zoo Youth Assistant Keepers
- Savanna SchafferEnvironmental StudiesUndergraduate Student
I have partnered with the Sequoia Park Zoo to revise their Youth Assistant Keeper Program to create a sustainable, impactful program that can be implemented with the use of a binder. Local, 11-15 year-olds will be guided through various aspects of zoos and animal husbandry while being asked to observe, critique, and explore the work of the Zoo and related work for best practices in animal care, equity, and accessibility. This unique opportunity for personal and academic development encourages autonomy and ownership over individual work, promotes leadership and diversity, cultivates a cooperative, team-centered environment, and inspires connection with and conservation of the natural world.

Sex Ed for Special Ed
- Hannah LindermanCriminology and Justice StudiesUndergraduate Student
People with disabilities are too often preyed upon because of socially constructed ideas of intelligence. It's assumed by many that people with disability don't have the capacity to learn sexual health education or give consent. But these stereotypes cause harm. I would like to educate young adults with disabilities about consent centered sex education so they can better understand their own bodily autonomy.
