Madden candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree*. (signed) Tony Lingham (chair of the committee) Bonnie Richley Mary Dolansky James Gaskin (date) January 13, 2015 * We also certify that written approval has been obtained for any proprietary material contained therein. © Copyright by Jennifer Madden, 2015 All Rights Reserved iii Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to my grandfather, Johnnie Smith (one of the smartest men I have ever known), who exposed me to innovation, creativity, design thinking, and design attitude before I knew the meaning of the words. And my grandmother, Nancy Bell Smith, a woman with love so powerful that I knew I was invincible before I could even say words. I dedicate this dissertation to my family, who are so proud of me: my source of inspiration and renewal. Especially my mother, Lynda Jeanne Bivins, my biggest cheerleader and the person who ran 10,000 errands to lighten my load and make sure I could focus on my reading, research, and writing; my dad, Tyrone Anthony Madden, Sr., for making sure that there was a way; my siblings Tamekia L. Madden Vason (Corey Sr.) and Tyrone A. Madden, Jr. (Kiana) for always having by back; and my brilliant nieces and nephews, Tyrone III, Karlton, Tyriana, Taylor, Tristian, Donnesha, Chloe, and Corey Jr. I dedicate this dissertation to the five other students of color that started this doctoral journey with me but did not finish, especially the amazing and resilient Ivelisse Hernandez. Despite your life circumstances and the institutionalized racism that veered us all on our academic pathway, I hope you find your way back. You are needed. Most important, I dedicate this dissertation to my husband, Kahlil I. Pedizisai, because without your love, support, strength, brilliance, guidance, and passion, this difficult journey would have been impossible. You are a gift. Your love is a gift. Jennifer R.
