African American females must endure the distinct intersection of anti-black racism and misogyny, or misogynoir, which persists through the perpetuation of stereotypical images. The endurance of these controlling images adversely impacts young black girls in unique ways that often go unnoticed. Black and Pink: The Intersection of Blackness and Girlhood in America examines the historical origins of misogynoir in America and its continued impact on modern black girls using the lens of bell hooks' literature. This includes how black females are masculinized, sexualized, and impacted by Eurocentric beauty standards in America. and These themes are further explored through a series of watercolor paintings, inspired by hooks' memoir, Bone Black.

Black American art and artists have dramatically impacted U.S. and world history and culture. This is a creative and historical project for Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University. I have virtually curated works from Black American artists throughout the 17th and 21st centuries that show the emergence of Black history and the art that expressed it. The project is a timeline of various media, such as sculpture, painting, and poetry. This text comes with a Squarespace site where these works are displayed with introductory information that resembles those of a didactic label at a museum. Growing up as a little kid, I was always intrigued by history and the arts, but I barely learned about the art Black Americans created in school. With this project, I hope to share this research with a broader audience to learn more about the rich historical context of black art and to feel represented. Seeing yourself in an artwork that moves you inspires the artist within you; it did for me.

This study focuses on the connection between musical rhythm and dyslexia. Dyslexia has long been a disability that has been studied, but not one that researchers have a particular or in-depth treatment for. There has been a long time of research on the connection between dyslexia and creativity. This has led to looking at how dyslexic students are often found in art schools and engage in creativity. This has led to a new wave of research into EEG and how dyslexia occurs, including what causes dyslexia. This connection is proposed through the temporal sampling deficit hypothesis that theorizes “neuroelectric oscillations that encode incoming information at different frequencies could explain the perceptual and phonological difficulties with syllables, rhymes and phonemes,” (Goswami, 2011). My research aims to go further into the theory that dyslexia is caused by phonological perception and rapid timing skills (Overy et al., 2001). Music has many of these underlying deficits within it, so my theory is that dyslexic people have rhythm deficits, therefore, music therapy would be helpful in learning dyslexia. This paper does not find a negative correlation between dyslexia and rhythm. The trend points to dyslexic participants responding to claps faster and more accurately. All participants made a trend of fewer errors and faster responses the second time they heard a clap pattern. This leads to an inconclusive conclusion that requires more investigation to confirm whether this is statistically significant.

As a first-generation American whose family left Chile during the first years of the dictatorship period (1973-1990), I am separated from the reality that many Chileans lived through: a world of cultural repression, censorship, exile, and violence. This three-day film festival is a compilation of films that have helped me connect with my heritage and create a fuller understanding of Chilean history, but is also an invitation for a wider audience with a lesser connection to actively build their own memory of the Chilean dictatorship.

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.

This duo thesis is an autoethnography of what it means to be Filipino-American in the United States. Being raised in varying backgrounds yet with the similarity of being Filipino, there are aspects of our lives that are simultaneously similar and different. The goal of this project is the exploration of one’s cultural, familial and personal identities and how they intersect with their individuality and sense of belonging. Through this project, we documented our experience as Filipinos in the United States and our travel back to the Philippines and showcased it through videos. It is a means to document our reflections on this project to share with the Filipino community and individuals who share the same sentiments.
