Academic Buoyancy: A Mixed-methods Study of University Students' Everyday Resilience

Description: Academic buoyancy refers to a student's capacity to deal with typical educational adversities adaptively. Buoyancy positively relates to beliefs, emotions, and behaviors supporting learning and achievement. Considering university students' unique challenges and the importance of social context, there is a need to examine how student-level and contextual considerations relate to academic buoyancy in higher education. Guided by the Situated Expectancy-Value Theory person-in-context framework, thi… more

Admiration and Rivalry: The Path to Accurate Narcissism Conceptualization

Description: A two-factor framework, the narcissism admiration and rivalry concept (NARC) and an associated assessment, the Narcissism Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire (NARQ), have been introduced to help conceptualize and assess the psychological processes involved in grandiose narcissism (i.e., need for admiration vs. reactive rivalry). The current project aims to test whether the rivalry domain of the NARQ might also reflect vulnerable aspects of narcissism, and how the two NARQ domains predict theor… more

Americans Adapting to Occupation: Imperialism, Masculinity, and Race in the Making of Twentieth Century Martial Culture

Description: In the early twentieth century, the United States built an empire based on military occupations. The U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps all aided in the construction and expansion of U.S. influence across the globe. The occupations of the Philippines (1898-1902), Haiti (1915-1917), and Germany (1945-1946) provide significant case studies in how occupations founded on imperialism became hindered due to the actions of the men tasked with occupying the foreign nations. In each case, rhetoric of imp… more

Analyzing Epics: Musical Formula in Video Game Boss Battle Music

Description: The topic theory is commonly presented in the study of film music, emphasizing the collaboration between musical features, cultural associations, and narrative. The same concept applies to video game music as well. Like in film studies, such musical topics can be further refined with analyses of textural and timbral placements that suit more meticulous narrative needs. In this thesis, I argue that boss battle music is a musical topic with recurring features that contribute to game narratives. M… more

Anne Bonny: Composing a New Sapphic Pirate Folk Opera

Description: Anne Bonny was a female pirate active around the early 1700s. Very little is known about her life beyond sensationalist imaginings. However, I was inspired by her story and saw in her circumstances the experiences of women and queer people today who face persecution anew under recent and pending legislation. I reinterpret Anne’s life, and those of her fellow pirates Calico Jack and Mary Read, in a new folk opera as an allegory and opportunity for representation of these experiences on stage. Th… more
