Area 1 Agency on Aging Volunteer Driver Program Annual Client Survey

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

In 2012, Humboldt County was the home of just over 25,000 people over the age of 60. By 2050 Humboldt County will be the home of nearly 60,247, more than double documented in 2012. These statistics are alarming and should get the attention of all local (State & National) sectors working with the aging population on track to establish and sustain community resources necessary to allow the elderly to age safely, comfortable, respectfully, and with dignity in their homes and communities. In the efforts of enhancing local social services for seniors, I worked alongside Area 1 Agency on Aging on a client-centered survey geared to enhance local senior programming.

Art 100 Revamp!

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Art 100 (Global Perspectives in Art) has been fully online for several years. For Spring 2019, Professor Julie Alderson converted the class to a blended format - retaining significant online components, but also introducing weekly face to face elements. In converting the class, she enlisted three advanced Art Education students - Liz Gordon, Alexa Pante and Maya Strauss, to freshen up the How To videos associated with the class. This presentation will present these videos which were designed to help students complete art projects for the course.

Artifact Analysis With Adobe Illustrator

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Our project's goal is to utilize the Adobe Illustrator Program with artifact analysis. Using artifacts obtained from the Dos Hombres to Gran Cacao Archaeology project headed by Dr. Marisol Cortes Rincon. We will learn to use Adobe Illustrator to build digital images of the artifacts and create a database for them to be observed for present and future studies. We hope that our work will inspire continued use of this technique so others may be able to study artifacts in a digital and hard copy form so that artifacts can be better preserved and researched in multiple mediums and easily accessible to other scholars. This will allow for a stronger collaboration and interpretation.

Assessing Attitudes Toward Law Enforcement and Civilian Law Enforcement Review Boards in Humboldt, California

Joshua Worthington, Psychology Graduate Student

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

The current state of policing in the United States is a heavily politicized issue. In response to instances of excessive police force on vulnerable populations, civilian law enforcement review boards (CLERBs) were developed to improve accountability. In this study, we investigated support for CLERBs and attitudes toward law enforcement in Humboldt County. Drawing from the social identity theory framework and intergroup contact theory, our work shows that people’s beliefs about how marginalized communities are treated by law enforcement predicts their attitudes toward law enforcement, and this in turn predicts support for CLERBs. We discuss these relationships and their implications.

Biological Profiles: An analysis on the applicability and implications of traditional and new methods in forensic anthropology

Jazmin Borrayo, Anthropology Undergraduate Student

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

In forensics, commonly used when conducting an assessment of skeletal remains is the implementation of a biological profile. The key elements that typically form the basic biological profile are age, ancestry, sex, and stature. These components consist of further methods that comprise the estimation process and are essential in identification. Within recent years, there has been a rise in attention to the use and application of certain methods. This project analyzes the applicability and implications of traditional methods commonly used in forensic anthropology when conducting biological profiles as well as examines the emergence of new methods in the field.

Bisexuality, Intersectionality, and the Bechdel Test in Jane the Virgin

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

I did my project on the telenovela "Jane The Virgin" and looking at the stereotypes that the show portrays about Latino culture. I discuss bisexuality within the latino culture, intersectionality, the Bechdel Test, and apply all of this to the show and telenovelas in general. I did this project for my Comm 309B class.

Bitches Been Mad

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Society shies away from emotions like rage, because it is scary and uncomfortable, however rage is and always has been a part of the human experience. Especially women, queer and BIPOC women, do not have safety in society to be anything but gentle. All people deserve a safe space to see that we are not crazy, we are just like everyone else, and express our rage through art. Through art we can experience, release and heal. While all identities should be welcome, it is important to center the feminine, as society has less space for this. I believe there is opportunity to collaborate between departments like counseling and gender studies to create a safe, healing, educational, and FUN space.
