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.

Existence Necessitates Resistance: "" How Black Women's Survival in Modern Day America Under Conditions of Police Brutality is a Radical Act of Resistance

This project and method uses contemporary media sources to paint a broader picture of Black women's experiences in the U.S. under more visible conditions of modern day police brutality, and aims to expand the scope of Black feminist thought. As a primary academic source and inspiration for this project, "Black Feminist Thought" written by Patricia Hill Collins (2009), is used to clarify and illuminate the connection between these contemporary and more informal sources of Black feminist's intellectual work, and formal academic works from Black feminist tradition. Thus, using formal Black feminist works in conjunction with more informal, personal, and subjective narratives from Black women, in this project, is aimed at illuminating how contemporary examples of the state violence indicate that being and surviving under the conditions of today as a Black woman, is in itself a form of radical resistance.

Tempe, and the greater justice system, consistently seeks to re-evaluate its operations and processes to meet the ever-increasing conflicts that are brought into the courts purview. Nationally, municipal courts have seen a decrease in civil matters, however, this is not the case in Tempe. My goal for this project was to assess and reflect on the circumstances that surround civil matters within the municipal court. As a case study, I observed and evaluated several civil court cases. In doing so, I analyzed the ways in which legal consciousness and discourse are used to solve existing civil court matters. I then took these data and considered the ways in which mediation could be used as a justice alternative. In proposing mediation as an alternative, I focus on the ways in which mediation better serves to build positive legal consciousness and address all forms of discourse that can be presented in specific civil cases. Finally, I discuss a strategy that can be used within the Tempe Courts to implement mediation as a long-term problem-solving court strategy.
