Description
In the developed world, we often take the positive correlation between openness to trade and development for granted. After all, the world has seen the greatest amount of economic growth ever in this relatively short period of time in which global markets have been very accessible. There can be many factors attributed to this perspective on the near-universal association between trade and wealth, such as its simple, intuitive reasoning, a historical drive for developed nations to seek out beneficial trade opportunities, or perhaps even a general lack of awareness when it comes to how such enterprising attitudes may impact those living in entirely different civilizations. Whatever the reasoning may be, the reality is that global trade or openness to it is not as cut and dry as many would like to believe, nor does trade openness come as freely as one might expect, as certain conditions are needed in order to foster access to well-developed markets. It has been observed recently that the cost of doing trade, so to speak, has been increasing globally as certain state and nonstate actors push against the free trade model developed by the United States after World War II. It is with this challenge in mind that we explore the recent changes in the balance of global power dynamics that have led to a decline in the openness of the globalized economy. Saying this, we are not advocating for an end to "globalization", rather, this paper is meant to observe multiple potential frustrations to the current economic global order and the resulting fallout of trade among the world’s top economies.

Description
Highly culturally-embedded elements of language like linguistic style and norms of formality and informality can pose a challenge for translators. Theorists of translation studies have historically considered the field of audiovisual translation in particular as a culturally homogenizing institution due to the strong commercial forces surrounding production of audiovisual translation. In this thesis, I discuss how speakers of French use lexical items to index linguistic formality and informality as an element of style. Style itself is a dynamic and continually innovative tool available to speakers to express identity and positionality of the speaker as well as attitudes toward their interlocutors. In French film and television, these stylistic features are critical to character identity-building and storytelling. In this thesis, I analyze France.tv Slash’s teen drama, Skam France (2018-2023), to explore how independent fan translators tackle complex translational issues of culture and linguistic style and how their choices influence meaning-making in narrative television. Ultimately, despite its drawbacks and complications, the collaborative, decentralized, and reciprocal nature of the fansubbing model reveals new potentialities in the form and function of audiovisual translation.

Description
This research paper explores the dynamic interplay between early Soviet film and
the French New Wave movement, with a specific focus on the cinematic contributions of Sergei Eisenstein. By delving into the personal diaries and memoirs of this iconic director and drawing from a rich array of essays, articles, and interviews found in the pages of Cahiers du Cinéma and Revue du Cinéma, this study seeks to unravel the intricate web of influences and ideological connections that link the two cinematic movements. Sergei Eisenstein, a pioneering figure in Soviet film, is examined in the context of his most prominent cinematic works, including "Battleship Potemkin" and "October." By scrutinizing Eisenstein's theories on montage and the dialectical synthesis of images, this paper uncovers the profound impact of his ideas on the aesthetics and narrative strategies employed by the directors of the French New Wave. In conclusion, this research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the cross-cultural dialogues within the world of cinema, emphasizing the enduring legacy of Eisenstein's theories by uncovering the often-overlooked connections between early Soviet film and the French New Wave, this study enriches our appreciation of the interconnected aspects of cinematic movements and the enduring impact Eisenstein’s vision combined with his charismatic personality.

Description
This project is a policy analysis of Medical-Legal Partnerships (MLP). There is a serious lack of civil legal help for low income individuals in America. One way to address this issue is incorporating legal care into medical care through an MLP, which provides free legal help to address patients’ Social Determinants of Health. This thesis advocates for the incorporation of MLPs into healthcare, as well as more research into the health benefits if an MLP.

Description
The 19th century marked a period of transformative global change where various movements sought to shape society in radical ways. One such movement was eugenics, which fostered perceptions of disability that led to the widespread acceptance of involuntary and coerced sterilizations of disabled females in the United States. In the 20th century, politicians employed eugenics to its end, demonstrating the greatest horrors it could hold. This thesis will investigate the rationale behind sterilizations, the evolution of societal attitudes towards disability, and the contemporary role of guardianships in medical decision-making processes through the theoretical lenses of critical disability studies, the models of disability, and the moral principles of bioethics – justice, autonomy, and nonmaleficence. Findings indicate that individuals with disabilities may need additional support in the medical decision-making process, and while historically guardianships have been used to achieve this, they should be a last resort if the individual has the competence necessary to partake in collaborative decision-making with the support of a third-party, particularly in instances that involve the irreversible procedure of sterilization.
