This webinar aims to address some of the common concerns that graduate students conducting qualitative research are now navigating. Specifically, in this webinar, the following will be explored: the complicated ethics of “continuing research” during uncertain times; the value of historicizing methodological practice when designing and re-designing qualitative research methodologies and methods; and virtual methodologies and methods for carrying out qualitative research.

474. Life Imitates Art: Sex Disparities and Gender Biases in Animated Film (14:32)

Main contributors:
Huntsinger, Katelynn
Summary:
This study examines the 150 top-grossing animated films (1990-2019) and the discerning trends on how females are grossly underrepresented. The results concluded that when women do appear, they are seen and heard far less than their male counterparts. The gender inequality represented on screen is important and should be talked about more openly since it contributes to how society teaches children about socialization.

475. Mapping Comic Book Imaginaries: Exploring the Landscape of Comic Practice (1:21:00)

Summary:
What is the narrative of comic book history in the United States? For some comic scholars, a canon defined by themes such as trauma, memory, and autobiography defines the use way that comics provide particular insight on popular culture. Whatever these debates about comic canon, the form offers an important opportunity. Comic history is also urban history. Comics have played a central role in shaping our collective understanding of urban life. As visual narrative informed by questions of community, consumption, and identity, the comic medium offers an opportunity to think deeply about how the perception and the reality of urban life evolve through comic pages. In this presentation, Julian Chambliss will discuss the potential benefits offered by Collection as Data project developed by a Michigan State University workgroup using Michigan State University Library (MSUL) library metadata. What narratives of comics and community does such a dataset offer to scholars? How can these narratives engage students and scholars to create a greater understanding of comics and culture in the United States? This talk will highlight some potential pathways offered by comic book cities as windows on a wider urban imaginary in the United States.

476. Misrepresentation of Females in Animated Films (09:25)

Clark, Gabrielle, Tulacz, Kailee
Summary:
This study takes a closer look at gender representation in the 150 top grossing animated films from 1990 to 2019. We examine the gap between representation, and male and female characters in lead characters, speaking roles, if speakers are male or female, unrealistic bodies, if female-led movies passed the Bechdel test and if animated films were likely going to fail the Bechdel test. Our results found that male characters have significantly more speaking roles than female characters and are overall more important in animated films than females. These results have confirmed to negatively impact the way children are socialized.

485. The Effects of Shift Work on Depression and Anxiety (09:04)

Main contributors:
Endris-Burns, Amberly
Summary:
This project intended to study the relationship between shift work (specifically third shift), and its effects on depression and anxiety symptoms. Working nights has shown to have serious negative side effects on one’s physical and mental health. Hypotheses were made that those working third shift would experience higher levels of depression and anxiety symptoms than those who did not work overnight. Participants surveyed in this research worked either first, second, third or a rotating shift, and were asked questions pertaining to levels of anxiety and depression in a typical work week. After analyzing the data from all eligible participants, the study found that there were significantly higher levels of depression in those working third shift, rather than first shift, and that there were significantly higher levels of anxiety in those working second shift rather than first shift.

Summary:
In this workshop, participants will examine a set of visualizations created by a team of faculty, librarians and academic specialists at Michigan State University. Using Michigan State University Library (MSUL) library data, this group can be utilized to explore questions of community and identity in comics culture. Utilizing the MSUL dataset, we will use Flourish to create visualizations that shed light on the patterns linked to comic publishing in the United States. Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how to prepare data, model it in Flourish, and how to access pre-existing datasets here and elsewhere that work with Flourish.

491. Why Are Eye Exams So Important? (09:56)

James, Jessica
Summary:
Why is it so important to get your eyes examined? What happens during an eye exam? When should someone see their doctor? Most people think the purpose of an eye exam is to update prescriptions and get new, trendy glasses, but the full purpose is much more extensive. Throughout an exam, patients will be tested for early onset and even undiagnosed diseases as well as be treated for vision loss. Experts in the field concur that it is important to see your optometrist every two to three years, depending on your age, to maintain your eye health and prevent vision loss at a later age. Through a review of current literature, the paper will analyze why patients should see their optometrist regularly and clarify the benefits that come with maintaining good eye health habits.

Summary:
Chinese Narratives and the Power of Propaganda The goal of the research was to understand the Chinese government through its propaganda process after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and the sort of narratives it told to maintain legitimacy. A.The Premier at the time, Wen Jiaobao, drew strength from Confucianism and Marxism for his public relations success. B. More broadly, the Communist Party did the same through party slogans, poetry and photography. Due to the nature of a disaster, the earthquake could not be as orchestrated or controlled as the Beijing Olympics, but it was, nevertheless, a political event with critical performances which ultimately worked out in the government’s favor.

498. The Open Access Policy in Action: Automating Author’s Rights (49:11)

Date:
2020-04-22
Main contributors:
Hoops, Jenny, McLaughlin, Margaret
Summary:
This February was the third year anniversary of the Open Access Policy, authored to ensure the accessibility and availability of university scholarship to the public for future generations. When the policy was passed, the Scholarly Communication Department was tasked with encouraging several thousand faculty to annually deposit their work into a new institutional repository, IUScholarWorks Open. To facilitate the deposit process, developers in Library Technologies developed the Bloomington Research Information Tracking Engine, also known as BRITE. The BRITE application is able to check the open access and copyright status of articles, compile emails to faculty, and prepare metadata for batch deposit into IUScholarWorks Open. While some manual intervention is still necessary, BRITE has helped our team automate a normally extensive and time-consuming process. This session will walk through the process of development for the BRITE application, as well as the documentation that allows users and employees with little to no subject knowledge on copyright, metadata, or automation to successfully navigate the application. We will also discuss some of our plans for the BRITE application in the future, and look for insight into what development our users may need moving forward.
