Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

Poetry therapy is an arts-based therapy that has the potential to be applied to any population if the facilitator is motivated to work closely and compassionately with people of various backgrounds. Therapeutic poetry workshops were conducted with adults with disabilities and previously incarcerated men over the course of several months. Each workshop was analyzed for successes and areas for improvement, and adaptations were made between consecutive workshops. After the completion of all the workshops, recommendations were provided for working with each population and for applying poetry therapy successfully. Finally, the application of poetry therapy to healthcare, specifically nursing, was addressed as a way to use the knowledge gained from this project to lessen the emotional burden of being a patient and being a healthcare provider.
