Your journey of inquiry, investigation and discovery has brought you here, to the foremost undergraduate research conference in the country. To say that Weber State values undergraduate research would be an understatement. Each year we look forward to WSU’s research symposium and celebration, and we have now hosted three major undergraduate research conferences in the past three years: the Council on Undergraduate Research in 2010, the Utah Conference on Undergraduate Research in 2011, and during the next three days, NCUR. We couldn’t be more excited to have all of you on our campus. In my 30-year tenure at Weber State, I have seen the wonderful effects of undergraduate research, not only on our students, but on our community, our state, even our world. Our student researchers, working alongside their faculty mentors, have worked to prevent the extinction of a small migratory bird that lives along the Great Salt Lake shoreline (if you’ve never visited the lake, I highly recommend signing up for the Saturday excursion to Antelope Island State Park). They’ve helped military shift workers reduce fatigue using light therapy. They’ve spearheaded the building of a satellite that was carried aboard the space shuttle in 1985, a satellite that now resides in The Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. I could go on, as proud as I am of our students and what they’ve done, but I am eager to hear and see the work they, and all of you, will share during this conference. In fact, everyone on campus has been looking forward to your arrival and your presentations. I encourage you to take full advantage of this experience. Attend presentations by your fellow student researchers. Enjoy our notable plenary speakers. Get out, make friends, and see Utah – our beautiful state has much to offer. Wishing you a magnificent experience, F. Ann Millner, President Weber State University 5 NCUR Information What is NCUR? The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR), established in 1987, is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for students. Unlike meetings of academic professional organizations, this gathering of young scholars welcomes presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all corners of the academic curriculum. Through this annual conference, NCUR creates a unique environment for the celebration and promotion of undergraduate research achievement, provides models of exemplary research and scholarship, and helps to improve the state of undergraduate education. In addition to oral and poster sessions, the 2012 conference includes performing and visual arts

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality
    Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia 2008 Karen Peta Hall Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Discipline of English and Cultural Studies School of Social and Cultural Studies ii Abstract Genres are constituted, implicitly and explicitly, through their construction of the past. Genres continually reconstitute themselves, as authors, producers and, most importantly, readers situate texts in relation to one another; each text implies a reader who will locate the text on a spectrum of previously developed generic characteristics. Though science fiction appears to be a genre concerned with the future, I argue that the persistent presence of lost race stories – where the contemporary world and groups of people thought to exist only in the past intersect – in science fiction demonstrates that the past is crucial in the operation of the genre. By tracing the origins and evolution of the lost race story from late nineteenth-century novels through the early twentieth-century American pulp science fiction magazines to novel-length narratives, and narrative series, at the end of the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the consistent presence, and varied uses, of lost race stories in science fiction complicates previous critical narratives of the history and definitions of science fiction. In examining the implicit and explicit aspects of temporality and genre, this thesis works through close readings of exemplar texts as well as historicist, structural and theoretically informed readings. It focuses particularly on women writers, thus extending previous accounts of women’s participation in science fiction and demonstrating that gender inflects constructions of authority, genre and temporality.

  • Annualreport 1617 FULL.Pdf
    ANNUAL REPORT – INTRODUCTION Dear Bruins, Our department enjoyed an exciting and memorable year both on and off the field of competition in 2016- 17. Ten of our athletic teams finished among the Top 10, nationally. Of even greater significance, 126 of our student-athletes earned their degrees from this university in June and officially embarked upon the next chapter of their lives. Throughout the 2016-17 academic year, student- athletes earned Director’s Honor Roll accolades (3.0 GPA or higher) more than 980 times. In addition, our Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Academic Progress Report (APR) numbers remained high across the board and among the best in the nation. UCLA’s overall GSR of 86% stands two percentage points higher than the national average of 84%. Our football team compiled the second-highest GSR among Pac-12 schools with 88% (the national average for FBS schools is 74%). In addition, six of our teams – men’s water polo, women’s basketball, women’s golf, softball, women’s tennis and women’s volleyball – had a GSR of 100 percent. Sixteen of our 20 sports programs had a GSR of 80 percent or higher. I’ve said it before and I’ll say As a department, we always pride ourselves on team practice facilities for our football, men’s basketball it again – our student-athletes not only meet these accomplishments, but it’s absolutely worth noting and women’s basketball teams, and I know that the expectations, but they almost always exceed them. It’s several outstanding individual efforts by our hard- coaches and student-athletes of these teams are a testament to their work ethic and to the support they working student-athletes.
