Main contributors:
Dr. Jessica Nina Lester
Summary:
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised a range of concerns and questions for social science researchers. For many qualitative researchers, research sites are no longer accessible, and many data collection methods are no longer feasible. Critical questions about what qualitative research can and even should do during times of physical distancing are arising, particularly among graduate students. Specifically, many graduate students with qualitative dissertation work in development or already underway are now facing notable delays to their progress toward completion, with questions about a “research restart” pointing to uncertainty. 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.

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

Date:
2020-04-24
Main contributors:
Julian Chambliss
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.

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.

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.

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

Date:
2020-04-24
Main contributors:
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.

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.
