Chané Higgo - “The 18th Molecule: Melatonin” (session 7) Why melatonin is a vital part of the human body and why does no one seem to know? I will argue that melatonin is an important hormone needed to sustain a healthy life, melatonin is vital for the synchronization of the circadian rhythms in different parts of our body. I will discuss how melatonin was discovered, as well as its importance to the human body, and how we can incorporate this lesser-known hormone more effectively in our lives. Hailey Holland - “How Women Acquire and Maintain Political and Social Power in The Odyssey , The Ramayana of Valmiki , and The Thousand and One Nights ” (session 19) This paper will address the ways in which women in The Odyssey , The Ramayana of Valmiki , and The Thousand and One Nights acquire and maintain political and social power. This essay is not a comparison of the three texts, but an examination of shared themes across these three texts. These texts all contain women who at one point had no political or social power, then acquired indirect political power through a relationship with a man, and then maintained their power using their intelligence, which suggests this method of acquiring political power was common among women during these times. They also all have roots in oral tradition before being written down, proving that they are integral texts to the culture they originated from because they all had the Carly Hovendick - “Breastfeeding Decreases Respiratory Illness in Infants” (session 9) Research supports that breastfeeding, for any amount of time, decreases respiratory illnesses in infants up to two years of age.

Sidni Hunter - “Imperialist Propaganda and the Central Intelligence Agency’s use of Neoliberal Rebranding” (session 12) Since it’s origins in 1947, the Central Intelligence Agency has had an incredibly appalling past engaging in propaganda, torture, and the creation of terrorist organizations. However, in May of 2021 the organization released a “progressive” advertisement to try and recruit people of color to their team and rebrand the general public’s perception of the agency. Specifically, this project aims to understand how the Central Intelligence Agency’s neoliberal rebranding reinforces imperial propaganda of the state. To begin, this project will analyze Oriana Gilson’s 2019 Research Thesis Titled, “An Intersectional Feminist Rhetorical Reframing of Rhetorics of Efficiency Within Public Policy.” Building from this scholarship, Gilson’s methodology will be directly compared to the advertisement, highlighting key similarities. The project concludes by answering the initial research question and drawing further implications about progressive neoliberalism as a whole.
