Kristin Boynton - “Chapter Reading from A Reason To Kill ” (session 14) This presentation will be a chapter reading from A Reason to Kill , a locked-room drama about five teenagers from Grayson High School in Georgia who are kidnapped and placed in an underground room with no visible way of escape except for an old wooden ladder that is spiked in nails. They learn from their captor that they are all there for a reason and each person is given a symbol representing the crime or horrible secret that they have hidden. One by one they must confess their secrets, exposing the worst parts of themselves, only to find out at the end that they must choose one of the people in the room to kill so that the rest of them can live. Gracyn Bristow - “The Burke and Hare Murders” (session 13) The Burke and Hare murders consisted of a recorded 15 murders in Scotland in the early 1800s. The murder investigation itself has very little evidence, but Hare was offered immunity if he confessed in detail, which is precisely what he did. Burke and Hare would lure their victims into their house where both of the men would participate in the murders. Once the victims were dead, Burke and Hare would sell the bodies to an anatomist to use as cadavers at the local college, where the anatomist would disfigure the bodies to ensure they were no longer recognizable to students. Justyce Brooks (session 2) - see Hagenhoff Brandy Bullard - “Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale” (session 3) Postpartum depression is a condition many women get after pregnancy. While causes are not known, several risk factors can contribute to a higher risk of being diagnosed with the condition. New mothers are often told that the sadness feelings are normal. My project will be to educate on early screening tools, such as the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, that providers can use for pregnant and new mothers. This scale can be used discretely where women would feel more comfortable being open with their feelings. Early detection would lead to early treatment and lower the risk of the condition progressing further.
