The Sociology Department put on what is becoming an annual event at Mahoney Library, its Poster Presentation and Exhibit, in the periodicals room on the first floor of the library. The posters will remain on display through December 4th.
This is the culminating work for the college’s sociology majors, reflecting four years of research focused on a particular social issue of interest to the student. Along with the posters, the students are required to develop a literature review drawn from one hundred sources that they have researched during their undergraduate studies. Students displayed and discussed their posters and research during the first hour of the exhibition, and the posters will remain on view in the library into December.
The participating students and their topics are as follows:
Nicole Chirip (Majors: Sociology and Elementary Education) “Adoption Stigma: A Shame-Based Practice”
Julise Grisham (Majors: Sociology and Justice Studies) “Racial Segregation in Urban Communities: Failures of Integration”
Deandra Guzman (Majors: Sociology and Psychology) ”Educational Achievement: Factors Leading to High Dropout Rates Among Male Teens”
Sharie Reid (Major: Sociology with Social Work Sequence, Minor: Gerontology) ”AIDS Orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa”
