  • 2021-2022 First-Year Scholar: Lynn Nerly Auguste, Nursing

    • What is a home? What does it mean to us? This project is to examine how a home would be described and illustrated in children's literature. The concepts of home in children's literature will reflect the societal perspectives on what and how the society wants to deliver to children implicitly or explicitly. Through reading the children's literature, children also can (re) produce the social perspectives on home. The student will participate in analyzing the concepts of home embedded in children's literature

    • Students will be able to learn:

      1. data collection
      2. how to do documentation analysis and visual literacy analysis (how to do initial coding and seek focused coding).
      3. how to prepare for and submit to a conference/manuscript

    • The student will

      1. attend weekly meetings (virtual, in-person, or hybrid)
      2. assist to find the list of children's literature
      3. read children's literature
      4. assist with the data analysis

  • 2021-2022 First-Year Scholar: Libna Amaro, Business Administration

    • This project focuses on studying the language diversity in children's picture books that have won the Pura Belpre Award. The Pura Belpre award is a recognition presented to a Latino or Latina author and illustrator whose work best portrays the Latino cultural experience in a work of literature for children or youth. This project will seek to analyze the language use in these books, particularly focusing on language and power (St.Pierre, 2000).

    • The First-Year Scholar will learn how to: 

      1. use the qualitative software Dedoose to code books
      2. code children's books with a focus on language
      3. write up research for publication – focusing on writing up the findings for a manuscript
      1. Analyze children's books
      2. Review previous research focused on the study of Latinx children's literature
