Description
In this project, I worked with Innovation Space and Keep Tempe Beautiful to help design a Zero Waste Music Festival called Tempe City Roots. I worked with an interdisciplinary team to research, design and prototype two main ideas to help give Tempe City Roots the push it would need to get the festival started. My team and I chose to design a recyclable cups system where festival attendees would be able to use one reusable aluminum cups throughout the festival and wash them when desired. The cups would also serve as souvenirs after the festival if attendees desired. We also designed a transportation system by partnering with the ASU shuttle system and Valley Metro to allow sustainable transportation from across Arizona to Tempe.

Description
Cities often require developers to build a minimum amount of parking on-site, which causes significant economic, environmental, and land-use problems. Minimum Parking Requirements (MPRs) are becoming increasingly criticized by planners, policy makers, and advocates for being an inefficient zoning strategy that often undermines the sustainability goals of cities. With growing desire to meet sustainable urban growth objectives, cities are beginning to reform their parking and land-use policies. However, despite MPRs being a tenet of American planning since their introduction, they have remained largely ignored by scholarly research.
This research follows the recommendations of the current research and adds to the existing literature by 1) creating an inventory of multi-family development (MFD) parking supply in downtown Tempe and 2) analyzing other contextual factors that influence developer parking provision. To meet urban and sustainability goals, cities should monitor their own parking trends, learn from other cities, and implement evidence-based solutions that best serve their communities.

Description
This thesis examines the relationship and cooperation between Arizona State University Emergency Medical Services (ASU EMS) and local emergency services, such as the Tempe Fire Department, focusing on enhancing collaboration and trust-building within the prehospital care context. ASU EMS, primarily a standby service at university events, relies closely on the Tempe Fire Department for the transportation of patients. The fire department, conversely, is aided when ASU EMS is able to treat and prepare patients before transportation for an expedited arrival to more advanced care at a hospital. There is a significant opportunity to be built upon from improving the relationship and connections between these two organizations, through utilizing shared trainings in order to familiarize one another with operational strategies and potential wisdom about various aspects of patient care. The thesis will apply Bolman & Deal's four-frame model—structural, human resource, political, and symbolic—to dissect and propose improvements to inter-organizational relationships and practices. The structural frame will examine the logistical aspects of coordination between agencies, while the human resource frame will consider the development of mutual respect and effective communication strategies. The political frame will analyze the power dynamics and competition for resources, and the symbolic frame will address the shared values and culture that underpin successful collaboration. The study also draws on experiences from ASU EMS staff, the National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation (NCEMSF), and research from the National Association of State Emergency Medical Services Officials (NASEMSO). Together, this analysis offers a multifaceted approach to strengthening the bonds between collegiate and municipal emergency medical service (EMS) providers for the betterment of the community and patient care in Tempe, Arizona.

While Latinos are assumed to be a homogenous group regarding political opinions, there are actually a variety of factors than can affect them. This thesis analyzes the opinions of Latinos across four generations regarding immigration opinions and how their generational and nativity status can affect those opinions. Using survey data, Latinos were asked about their opinions on various immigration policies and analyzed across generations and nativity status. It was found younger generations of Latinos may actually be more likely to be in favor of restrictive immigration policies.

Description
The following thesis project reflects on how the construction and interpretation of identity might drastically affect the way we exist in the world, utilizing a hermeneutic approach rather than a scientific one. I begin this reflection recounting a personal experience exemplifying how identity constructs are not always reflective of our desires and, thus, subject to change. In the first chapter, I employ the works of three scholars, John D. Caputo, Gloria Anzaldúa, and Maria Lugones to introduce the literature and arguments for my position. With Caputo, I build upon his insights on play within the art creation and interpretation process to propose this as the best place playing field for the designing of the Self and our perception of others. Anzaldúa will help us understand that within different spaces or boundaries, our Self projection might differ–which she refers to as nepantilism. Finally, Lugones offers the concept of world traveling as the best method to travel to other people’s worlds, while also being aware of our arrogant perception. In the second and final chapter, three scenes from the 1996 film Lone Star by John Sayles are utilized to depict how the characters reinterpret identity conflicts and clashes in the scenes in question, in the name of love. This section is meant to explicitly show how a work of art, specifically film, can offer an alternative to the way we choose to engage with those we have labeled as different from us.

Description
Curanderismo can be defined as a blend between ancient Aztec natural healing methods and modern day Catholicism. Today, it is practiced through various techniques, which can be observed in yerberias. Upon visiting these yerberias, the attendants were interviewed to understand which products are commonly sold, what they are used to treat, and the cultural significance behind the practice. After purchasing a number of products from each yerberia, a literature analysis of potential biochemical pathways was conducted to determine if these products have efficacy in what they treat. While potential pathways were found for a number of the products, it has been determined that further clinical research must be conducted to state whether these products are effective in treatment.

Beyond Human centers on cinema's reflection through the lens of posthumanism and the commentary, we can extract from it to understand what it means to be human. By analyzing posthumanist theories and their nuanced depiction in films like Interstellar, I discuss the deeper meaning of what it means to be human.
