Are you new to research, getting started with your project or still working on your research? No problem! This presentation mode might just be for you! You can present what you've done so far- outline your methods, share your data, or just discuss, where you're headed. Each presentation is 5 to 7 minutes total (lightning round!)The goal is to provide presenters with the opportunity gain skills to present their research ideas and work progress in a succinct and timed format in a low-risk environment, for the audience to receive a synopsis of the research work. It's all about the journey!
Only individual presenters (no co-presenting groups) will have the opportunity to select this format. There is no virtual option and individuals must present in-person. The presentation location for this platform will be held at the Price Science Commons Visualization Lab (Vizlab) Presentation slides (five slides maximum) may accompany the presentation, but slides are not required. There will be a PowerPoint slide template provided for this format, that needs to be converted to PDF format for the presentation.

Nationalism's Impact on Gender in Punjab--Historical Roots, Realities, and Implications (2024)
Prabhleen Sambhi '27
The Partition of 1947, marking the division of India and Pakistan, resulted in the largest mass migration in human history and profound geopolitical shifts. Despite historical diversity, leaders advocated for separate nations, leading to heightened tensions and widespread violence, particularly in Punjab. Women bore a disproportionate brunt of the violence, with sexual violence weaponized as a means of retaliation and dishonor. This paper investigates the role of nationalism in driving sexual violence during the Partition and its impact on gender roles in modern-day Punjab. It delves into the historical roots and consequences of sexual violence, exploring the intersectionality of gender, nationalism, and violence. The dominance of male perspectives in historical narratives silences women's experiences, perpetuating marginalization and oppression. The enduring impact of the Partition on women's lives underscores the need for a more inclusive examination of historical events. The subtle influence of Purdah persists, hindering women's empowerment and perpetuating societal norms. This research sheds light on the complex relationship between historical trauma, nationalism, and gender dynamics.
Under Reporting Of Epidemic Rebound and Resurgent Malaria in Nine African Countries (2022)
Idil Osman '22
This project focuses on the underreporting of epidemic rebound and resurgent malaria in nine African countries over the span of a century. Currently, malaria resurgence and rebound, occurring when malaria returns to a region after having been successfully controlled, have a history of being under-counted and under-reported, especially in the African continent. This research attempts to fill in these gaps by providing an overview and analysis of malaria prevalence from 1920-2020 and documenting unreported cases of malaria resurgence.
Volunteering at GrassRoots Garden: How to Grow Individual and Community Food Literacy (2022)
Gabrielle Wille '23 and Frida Graumann '22
This project reports on personal experiences while volunteering at Food For Lane County’s GrassRoots Garden, a community-funded garden that primarily grows produce for donation and strives to educate its volunteers. It details the evolution of understanding gardening’s role in food insecurity and community food literacy. Inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass, this research reveals the reciprocal relationship between individuals or communities and gardening. As much as we can do for a garden, a garden can do for us.
