Mariona Bolao Manén & Trista Arnold - “The Lorax Goes to Utah ” (session 8) Spring 2023 Field Biology (BI413) will travel to Canyonlands National Park, Utah, in the month of May to do field research on endemic flora and fauna. While some might assume the southern region is a strictly desert biome, the area is primarily wilderness, much of the life concentrated in the Green and Colorado riparian areas. In this presentation, we discuss tree groups and species, and how to identify them according to factors such as foliage, bark, range, environment, and reproductive methods. Mariona Bolao Manén - “Mad Woman: You Made Her Like That” (session 10) “And there’s nothing like a Mad Woman, what a shame she went mad. No one likes a Mad Woman, you made her like that.” –Taylor Swift. Growing up neurodivergent, queer, and a woman, life has had a tendency to serve injustices in front of me on a cold platter. Where have I found answers to my anger, and where have I found comfort knowing that I’m not alone? With this essay, I explore my personal experiences with gender and sexuality, and link them to things I’ve learned through the years, such as the history of feminist and queer movements, and Taylor Swift lyrics. Joao Vitor Bonanoni - “Louder than Words: Enhancing Nonverbal Communication in Online Video Interactions” (session 2) Online video communication has become a standard in all aspects of life. However, this method of communication is less effective than face-to-face communication as it limits our use of nonverbal cues. This presentation focuses on how online communication limits nonverbal communication and means, by which we can enhance our vocal cues and other nonverbal behaviors to achieve more effective connections through video conferencing. Harrison Boynton - “Welcome to our Tea Party: Analyzing The Mad-hatter in Lewis Carroll's Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland ” (session 1) In this panel, we look at the analysis of the different characters in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland . In my paper specifically, I look at different adaptations of “The Hatter” between different films and the novel. Specifically, I will compare the novel Alice in Wonderland to the Walt Disney version, produced in 1951, and the Tim Burton version, produced in 2010. Furthermore, I will compare and contrast the portrayal of “The Hatter” and how the differences can be spotted in the medium of the production and the role of symbolism that is warped throughout these mediums. Harrison Boynton - “The Self-Sufficiency of Pennytown, Missouri” (session 10) This project draws on folder four of the Josephine R Lawrence Collection housed at the manuscript collection of the State Historical Society of Missouri, to highlight how the residents of Pennytown survived during the twin threats of Jim Crow and The Great Depression. Pennytown was the largest African American settlement in Missouri located ten miles from Marshall. By understanding local self-sufficiency through Lawrence’s descriptions of the foodways and agriculture of this marginalized community during these threats, we can understand the history of Saline county that should not be forgotten.
