Eleventh Annual CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, DOMINGUEZ HILLS Eleventh Annual February 11-12, 2016 A Greeting from President Hagan Welcome to the Eleventh Annual Student Research Day at CSU Dominguez Hills. This day has become another special Toro tradition celebrating students from across the university as they reveal the depths of their scholarship and research in a vast array of disciplines. It is the culmination of hours upon hours of hard work as students present the findings and lessons from their research. From their initial inquiries to their final presentations, students learn a great deal about their subjects and a great deal about themselves. In particular, they learn the values of patience, persistence and the importance of having a plan and a process to reach the understanding and answers they’re seeking. Conducting outstanding research is an acquired and collaborative skill, so I want to thank all of the faculty mentors, staff, judges and fellow students who have guided and encouraged our researchers on their important journeys. Your input and feedback have allowed our student researchers to shine. I also encourage everyone – whether you’re a presenter or a supporter – to try to visit as many of the presentations as possible. As you do, what I think will impress you most is the amazing level of discovery, creativity and imagination taking place on our CSU Dominguez Hills campus. We are a diverse university with multi-talented, multi-faceted, highly engaged students who are eager to share their latest discoveries. And today’s amazing, high-impact student research showcase offers ample evidence of that! Sincerely, Willie J. Hagan, Ph.D. President Welcome Presenters, judges, faculty mentors, and guests: Thank you, and welcome to the Eleventh Annual Student Research Day at California State University, Dominguez Hills. We’re proud to say that Student Research Day continues to grow. This year we have 320 separate presentations and posters, representing the work of 455 students, making this the largest Student Research Day ever. Having read all of the abstracts submitted for last year’s Student Research Day as well as this year’s, we can also say that the quality of the presentations as increased as well as the quantity. The most credit for this goes, of course, to all of our student presenters, who put long hours of thought and effort into their presentations. Isaac Newton once famously said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” With all due respect to Sir Isaac, we don’t think that’s really how the advance of human knowledge works. All of us, instead of standing on the shoulders of a giant or two, can see further because we stand on the top of a human pyramid, made up of millions who have gone before us. By being here and presenting today, all of these students join that vast endeavor. Some may end up seeing farther than any of us ever have before; but every single one of them, by bringing something new into the world, has helped extend the human horizon. We also give our profound thanks to our faculty judges and mentors, who receive nothing extra in their paychecks for putting in the many hours that make this day happen. They do this because they know that by encouraging their students to conduct original experiments, write original scholarship, and create original plays, videos, poems, and art, they are giving those students the best possible training for the future, and they are honoring themselves and the fields of knowledge that they have made their life’s work. Finally, we give special thanks to President Willie J. Hagan, Provost Ellen Junn, Dean Dorota Huizinga, Sandra Tsing Loh, Frier McCollister, Anna Liza Garcia, Erika Torres, Brenda Knepper, Laura Drake, Michelle Martinez, the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, University Events and Ceremonies, the Office of Development, University Communications and Public Affairs, Loker Student Union, and all of our student volunteers for their support of our students. We have been proud to work with all of you, because you realize the importance of student research and the importance of each individual student. All of these people help make this a day of celebration of our community and the knowledge we build together. Please enjoy, learn, ask questions, and make new friendships today. Sincerely, Randolph Cauthen, Ph.D. John Price, Ph.D. Professor of English Professor of Physics Conference Chair Conference Co-Chair We have made every effort to make the information in this program accurate and to include all participants.

Recommended by Elliott: “I love how it involves the culture of sports. You get an inner look on a sports story or event that you never really knew about. Brings real life and sports together in a fantastic way.” 99% Invisible From the podcast website: “Ever wonder how inflatable men came to be regular fixtures at used car lots? Curious about the origin of the fortune cookie? Want to know why Sigmund Freud opted for a couch over an armchair? 99% Invisible is about all the thought that goes into the things we don’t think about — the unnoticed architecture and design that shape our world.” Recommended by Scott ABCA Calls from the Clubhouse Interviews with coaches in the American Baseball Coaches Association Recommended by Donnie, who is head coach of varsity baseball and says the podcast covers “all aspects of baseball, culture, techniques, practices, strategy, etc.

    This American Life Moves to Self-Distribute Program Partners with PRX to Deliver Episodes to Public Radio Stations May 28, 2014 – Chicago. Starting July 1, 2014, Chicago Public Media and Ira Glass will start independently distributing the public radio show This American Life to over 500 public radio stations. Episodes will be delivered to radio stations by PRX, The Public Radio Exchange. Since 1997, the show has been distributed by Public Radio International. “We’re excited and proud to be partners now with PRX,” said Glass. “They’ve been a huge innovative force in public radio, inventing technologies and projects to get people on the air who’d have a much harder time without them. They’re mission- driven, they’re super-capable and apparently they’re pretty good with computers.” “We are huge fans of This American Life and are thrilled to support their move to self-distribution on our platform,” said Jake Shapiro, CEO of PRX. “We’ve had the privilege of working closely with Ira and team to develop This American Life’s successful mobile apps, and are honored to expand our partnership to the flagship broadcast.” This American Life will take over other operations that were previously handled by PRI, including selling underwriting and marketing the show to stations. The marketing and station relations work will return to Marge Ostroushko, who did the job back before This American Life began distribution with PRI. This American Life, produced by Chicago Public Media and hosted by Ira Glass, is heard weekly by 2.2 million people over the radio.

  • Harper High School: Episode 2 – This American Life Prologue. Ira Glass
    Harper High School: Episode 2 – This American Life Prologue. Ira Glass: Hey everybody. Ira here. This episode of our show contains words that were beeped when we broadcast this over the radio that are not beeped in this online version. Leonetta Sanders, the principal of Harper High School in Chicago, has a decision to make. And she has to make it right away. She has to decide whether to cancel the school's homecoming game and dance. Leonetta Sanders: Coach Reed, I need you in the Melon room at this time, Coach Reed. Coach Sales. Ira Glass: She calls her staff together for a meeting. The day before this, when everybody was at a pep rally in the gym for Homecoming, a 16-year-old who attended Harper last year and dropped out, who still had friends here, was shot just a few blocks from school. Immediately, the staff jumped into action. If you heard our radio program last week, you heard this part of the story, where it was the gang responsible for the shooting had members on the football team. So Principal Sanders was scared that there might be retaliation at the game or at the dance. They sent home a handful of kids they thought might be in danger. Here is what happens next. When the staff now assembles on Friday afternoon, Principal Sanders informs them that there's news. Another incident. Leonetta Sanders: OK, so I just got word that there was a shooting. But it was a shooting in the neighborhood. Anthony Harper's father picked him up.

INTRODUCTION Almost every woman has had the experience of being trivialized, regarded as if she is just 'some dumb girl,' of whom few productive accomplishments can be expected. When viewed simply as 'some dumb girls,' women are treated dismissively, as if their thoughts or contributions are unlikely to be of value and are unworthy of consideration. 'Some Dumb Girl Syndrome' can arise in deeply personal spheres. A friend once described an instance of this phenomenon: When a hurricane threatened her coastal community, her husband, a military pilot, was ordered to fly his airplane to a base in the Midwest, far from the destructive reach of the impending storm. This left her alone with their two small children.

    Accepted for publication in 2020 by the International Journal of Communication, ijoc.org (this version has the raw data in an appendix) Podcasting as Public Media: The Future of U.S. News, Public Affairs and Educational Podcasts PATRICIA AUFDERHEIDE American University, USA DAVID LIEBERMAN The New School, USA ATIKA ALKHALLOUF American University, USA JIJI MAJIRI UGBOMA The New School, USA This article identifies a U.S.-based podcasting ecology as public media, and then examines the threats to its future. It first identifies characteristics of a set of podcasts in the U.S. that allow them to be usefully described as public podcasting. Second, it looks at current business trends in podcasting as platformization proceeds. Third, it identifies threats to public podcasting’s current business practices. Finally, it analyzes responses within public podcasting to the potential threats. It concludes that currently, the public podcast ecology in the U.S. maintains some immunity from the most immediate threats, but that as well there are underappreciated threats to it both internally and externally. Keywords: podcasting, public media, platformization, business trends, public podcasting ecology As U.S. podcasting becomes an increasingly commercially-viable part of the media landscape, are its public-service functions at risk? This article explores that question, in the process postulating that the concept of public podcasting has utility in describing, not only a range of podcasting practices, but an ecology within the larger podcasting ecology—one that permits analysis of both business methods and social practices, one that deserves attention and even protection. This analysis contributes to the burgeoning literature on podcasting by enabling focused research in this area, permitting analysis of the sector in ways that permit thinking about the relationship of mission and business practice sector-wide.

  • Truthiness: This American Life and the Monologist Epilogue Ira Glass
    CSJ- 12- 0046.2 • • Truthiness: This American Life and the Monologist Epilogue Ira Glass, host of This American Life (TAL), realized as soon as he spoke to Rob Schmitz of Marketplace that TAL would have to run an on-air correction of its January 6, 2012 show featuring Mike Daisey and his visit to Foxconn, an Apple supplier in Shenzhen, China. Glass was relieved to have some breathing space because Marketplace had contacted TAL rather than broadcasting the story on its news show first. “I’m not sure if other organizations would have done that,” says Glass.1 “They were reaching out to say, like, how should we handle this? Do you want to do something on your air?” Over multiple email and telephone exchanges beginning Monday, March 5, Schmitz and the TAL team of Glass, Senior Producer Julie Snyder and Producer Brian Reed decided to collaborate. , The group concluded that a simple on-air announcement at the start of a segment on another subject would be insufficient. The plan was that Schmitz would file a story for Marketplace that would include an interview with Daisey’s translator, Cathy Lee, and excerpts from the original broadcast of “Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory,” along with his own reporting. The Marketplace report would be broadcast (and posted to its website) on Friday, March 16. The same day, TAL would air a “retraction” show addressing Daisey’s fabrications. The show would include a longer version of Schmitz’s story, and—if he agreed to it—an interview with Daisey. Daisey agreed, and on Friday, March 9, Glass and Schmitz jointly interviewed Daisey for three hours.
