Elementary School Classrooms and the Need for Critical Frameworks
- Timothy RupiperLiberal Studies - Elementary EducationUndergraduate Student
Elementary school classrooms are foundational in our middle childhood experiences, as well as our knowledge of the world. But not all classrooms are fit to serve ALL students, especially students of color. As (Liberal Studies) Elementary Education majors, we took a closer look at the elementary classroom, specifically at problem areas, to develop ways to address these issues in a culturally sustaining way.
End of Life, A Talking Circle
- Denise GeorgeSocial WorkGraduate Student
End of Life, A Talking Circle Grief support groups are offered to the bereaved, after the death of a loved one, yet are rarely made available to those who have been given a terminal diagnosis. This vulnerable and under-serve population may greatly benefit from having an outlet for complex new emotions, the experience of connectedness, understanding and support from others who are facing their own mortality. The purpose of this project is to develop a pilot support group model serving individuals facing end of life to assess the demand for and value of such an intervention. Research on promising practices with support groups for terminally-ill patients was combined with a community-

Ethnic Differences in Adverse Childhood Experiences and the Role of Childhood Socioeconomic Status

- Irene Gonzalez-HerreraPsychology DepartmentGraduate Student
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; e.g., child maltreatment, domestic violence, and other household dysfunctions), have been linked to an increased risk of later social and behavioral problems. Cronholm et al. (2015) found that the prevalence of ACEs was higher in their ethnically and socioeconomically diverse sample, as compared to less diverse samples, suggesting that ACEs maybe more prevalent in marginalized populations. Bruner (2017) suggests poverty may play a role in the disproportionate experiencing of ACEs on people of color (PoC). The current study aims to examine links between ethnicity, childhood socioeconomic status, and ACEs in a sample of ethnically diverse (47% PoC) adults.

We will be presenting the Eureka CPI. A CPI (consumer price index) is a statistical overview of price fluctuation over the years caused by inflation and deflation in the economy. We track the economy on nine different sectors in Eureka CA by collecting data, analyzing the results, and presenting a model gauging those fluctuations in the county and how it compares to previous years. The sectors range from consumer products to occupational wages and everything in between.
