Abstracts Hayden Adkins - “Education in Juvenile Correctional Facilities” (poster session) My project will show whether juveniles would rather get their GED or learn a trade while incarcerated. Eva Agcaoili - “In The Trenches: Trauma, Ethnography, and Missouri Pinayist Counter-Narratives” (session 10) Higher education and academia in the global north has historically occluded and oppressed women of color. Traditional methods of research carry white, western, patriarchal and euro-centric bias. Women of color often find themselves not being able to participate or survive in this space. Efforts to address structural racism in academia ask women of color to assimilate to traditional white methods of research and perform their ethnicity, resulting in tokenism rather than structural change. This furthers colonization of marginalized communities. Even after women of color quit academia, the psychological violence they have experienced leaves them with lasting trauma. Often this violence is silent, a violence of pacification that goes unnoticed. Drawing on Pinayist pedagogy, I argue that, a process of internal and external decolonization can occur through telling the narratives of black and brown women’s experience in academia and amplifying counternarratives that recenter my knowledge production after surviving in southern Missouri. Leul Alfageme Nadela - “Life in Spain” (session 8) In this presentation, I discuss Spanish culture and events. My primary focus is the everyday life of Spanish. Specifically, I discuss the various types of people who live in Spain, how Spanish territories are divided, and what are the most and least inhabited parts of the country. I focus on cultural habits, such as the various foods and customs of different regions, and I explore what influences have created these differences within Spain.

Southpark has had a more than shaky history when satirizing every celebrity you could think of. The cocreators have done much of the writing, animating, and voicing of many of the characters. They have had their fair share of satirizing current events, pop culture celebrities, politics and even religion; not just to provoke someone's expense but to show genuine thought on the matter of the insanity placed in society. Their perfection in satire has made the show what it is today; their subtle pokes at what society upholds tells a lot about what
we can and cannot cross to make a genuine joke. Trista Arnold (session 8) - see Bolao Manén
