2018 Mid-Term Elections: How the 2018 Mid-Term Elections have Affected the Upcoming 2020 Cycle
Student Roundtable

Julius Peel, Dante Camacho, Alexandre Thenin

After reviewing the work in Campaigns, Elections and the Policy Process and the outcomes of the 2018 Midterm elections, the final goal of our project is to analyze and predict the outcomes that will occur in the 2020 presidential election. How this will be achieved is through analysis of our own previous works of different house districts before and after the 2018 election. Using the data that showed how the 2016 presidential election affected the 2018 midterm election, and by using the same op-eds it is possible to create graphs on where polling trends will go for the upcoming election. Then after applying those trends to current data, we will be able to create our own analysis of where the next presidential cycle may go.


1:30-2:30                                                       
Do Franklin Pierce University Students Agree On What Makes a Healthy Behavior?
Faculty Roundtable

Verna DeLauer, Andrea McGill-O'Rourke

This study will use cultural consensus analysis methodology to understand any underlying, shared beliefs about healthy and unhealthy behaviors among Franklin Pierce students. This method will enable us to explore whether there are cultural differences in understandings about what is healthy/unhealthy, the degree to which there are shared beliefs about health behaviors, and the distribution of cultural norms around health decision-making.


3:00-4:00                                                       
Everyday Shakespeare
Student Panel

Margaret Childress, Stephen Cinquegrana, Tyler Comeau, Elizabeth Coughlin, Shannon Haynes, Morgan Hewlett-Brown, Kathryn Mansfield, Tori Scholtz, Amalia Seppanen, Jessica Strassburg, Brandi Sweet

The "Everyday Shakespeare" panel will be presented by current students in the EN 313 Shakespeare class. The presentation will demonstrate how Shakespeare and his works have influence our everyday lives and how he remains relevant today. It will consist of several presentations by students, including the presentation of Honors projects on Richard III's recently discovered skeleton, a creative "deleted scene" from Hamlet written by a student, a teaching demonstration for As You Like It, and a discussion of film adaptations of King Lear. The other members of the class will collaborate to come up with a presentation about where we see Shakespeare in our everyday lives, including pop culture references and the English language itself.
