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.

The media often portrays and the public often percieves white women and women of color politicians experience feminist obstacles, such as the masculine-feminine double bind and being dehumanized in the same way.

The media often portrays and the public often percieves white women and women of color politicians experience feminist obstacles, such as the masculine-feminine double bind and being dehumanized in the same way. Many of these representations of women of color politicians in society do not incorporate the impact of intersectionality and confining gender schemas; therefore, women of color politician’s experiences are often lumped together with that of their white women counterparts. This phenomenon ultimately contributes to the persistence of color-blind racism in the United States, which negatively effects the life outcomes of women of color politicians and women of color in general. In effort to help lessen the effects of color-blind racism locally and in government, some tools on how to reflect on one’s own biases are provided and avenues for change are proposed.

My project is a proposal for a book about personal finance and mental health growth. There are an increasing number of recent college graduates that are suffering from poor financial situations, as well as from poor mental health, particularly since the pandemic. This book acts as a starters guide for beginning the path to financial freedom at a young age, while providing insight into using the brain to fuel that success.

Workplaces in the U.S. have historically been plagued by incivility directed at minority employees. Individuals have continuously been subjected to harassment, hostility, and discomfort while at work due to the lack of support given to minorities in these spaces. In a constantly changing environment, this problem only appears to be getting worse. Examining the issue through an intersectional lens shows a fuller picture. By putting into place a dynamic framework that identifies, solves, and predicts demographic related workplace incivility, organizations will be better equipped to create a positive work environment. The outcome being improved productivity and synergy. Most importantly, empowering minority groups that have previously been mistreated is invaluable to the wellbeing of these individuals and the employers.
