As if on cue, a vast array of coral species prepare to cast their tiny eggs and sperm into the surrounding water. At this very moment, the ocean begins to resemble an upside down snow storm as a blizzard of coral gametes are released and gently float to the surface and drift away in the currents, colonising reefs as far as the eye can see and beyond.

Raising Race Questions: Whiteness, Education and Inquiry in Seven Teacher Case Studies Abstract Race matters in schools. In addition to the highly publicized racialized achievement gap, race has historically determined who can access education and what kind of education people receive. Additionally, teachers and students bring racial identities to school that impact how they relate to one another, to the school community and to the curriculum. Finally, schools are places where race gets constructed. This study uses qualitative and action research methods to do research with teachers—rather than on teachers—as they learn about how and why race matters in education—and what that means for their classrooms. Because 85% of the K–12 teaching force in the United States is White and middle–class (National Center for Education Statistics, 2010), this research focuses on seven White and middle–class teachers. Through in–depth case studies of each teacher, I explore the conflicts, questions and revelations that arise as they struggle to learn about race, and apply their learning in their classrooms.

    On Entrepreneurial Learning, Mentoring, and the Logic of Bayes Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements

    On Entrepreneurial Learning, Mentoring, and the Logic of Bayes Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By William Robert Stromeyer, B.F.A., M.B.A Graduate Program in Business Administration The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Sharon A. Alvarez, Co-Advisor Raymond A. Noe, Co-Advisor Benjamin A. Campbell Robert B. Lount 1 Copyright by William Robert Stromeyer 2016 2 Abstract This dissertation is comprised of three essays that examine entrepreneurial learning, entrepreneurial mentoring, and the logic of Bayes and Bayesian analysis. The first essay delves into the cognitive mechanisms involved in learning under fundamental uncertainty by entrepreneurs engaged in the process of forming new opportunities. An examination of the emergence of the pet health insurance marketplace in the United States during the period 2002- 2012 drives a qualitative analysis that integrates propositions concerning the entrepreneurial process with theoretical assertions from the hierarchical Bayesian theory of learning. The second essay examines how entrepreneurial career mentoring, mentoring in support of a transition to entrepreneurial employment, leads to increased entrepreneurial intentions mediated by entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The final essay provides a commentary and suggestions for best usage of new techniques developed in Bayesian structural equation modeling, through a Bayesian based analysis of entrepreneurial self-efficacy. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation would not have been possible without the loving support of my family. My deepest gratitude to my advisor and dearest friend, Sharon Alvarez. Thank you for guiding me on this journey, letting me make my own mistake, but always putting me back on the right path.
