The increasing diversity in American public schools presents challenges to teachers and administrators. Current methods of reading instruction for English language learners (ELLs) have been ineffective to meet their needs in acquiring vocabulary.

Show moreThe increasing diversity in American public schools presents challenges to teachers and administrators. Current methods of reading instruction for English language learners (ELLs) have been ineffective to meet their needs in acquiring vocabulary. Meanwhile, the amount of time afforded ELLs to become proficient with grade-level vocabulary presents challenges for all stakeholders. Consequently, ELL students are not demonstrating growth on Florida's annual standards assessments. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive case study was to explore the vocabulary instruction used by elementary teachers of ELLs in the southeastern United States. The study's contextual framework comprised the five hypotheses of Krashen's second language acquisition theory: acquisition-learning, monitor, natural order, input, and affective filter. The research questions aligned with the theoretical framework and were the means used to identify strategies and describe instruction for ELLs. Nine purposefully selected participants provided rich descriptions of strategies and curricula used during vocabulary instruction to improve language acquisition. Research findings suggest the benefit of promoting partnerships among stakeholders to support vocabulary instruction for ELL students and the importance of continued professional development of vocabulary instruction strategies for staff. An unexpected finding was the value placed on using media for differentiated instruction of academic vocabulary with ELL students. The study provided information for policy and practice on the value of differentiated curriculum with an emphasis on ELLs' language acquisition needs. Future researchers could explore the use of auxiliary resources for ELL students, providing additional opportunities for differentiation in reading vocabulary instruction.

Title
The violence comes soon after: LGBTQ+ perceptions of safety and its effects on mental health in Pensacola.
Author
Harshman, Brenna
Abstract/Description
In Pensacola, Florida, there are many conservative residents who object to the presence of LGBTQ+ members in the community despite the long, rich history of relative LGBTQ+ tolerance. Due to the outward display of intolerant behavior, many LGBTQ+ people question their ability to safely express their sexual orientation and gender identity. This paper explores the primary data on main stressors that affect the perception of safety among the LGBTQ+ community in the Pensacola area as well as the...
Show moreIn Pensacola, Florida, there are many conservative residents who object to the presence of LGBTQ+ members in the community despite the long, rich history of relative LGBTQ+ tolerance. Due to the outward display of intolerant behavior, many LGBTQ+ people question their ability to safely express their sexual orientation and gender identity. This paper explores the primary data on main stressors that affect the perception of safety among the LGBTQ+ community in the Pensacola area as well as the mental health consequences linked with the stress of feeling unsafe. Data was gathered through participant observation and semi-structured interviews. I hypothesize that the LGBTQ+ community in Pensacola is more likely to have poor mental health and this inequity is linked to discrimination and feeling unsafe.

Abstract/Description
This paper investigates William Strachey's A True Reportory, a stylized eyewitness account of Strachey's 1609-1610 voyage to the Jamestown colony, showing how the text utilizes Vergil's Aeneid to set a precedent for the British colonization of the New World.

Show moreThis paper investigates William Strachey's A True Reportory, a stylized eyewitness account of Strachey's 1609-1610 voyage to the Jamestown colony, showing how the text utilizes Vergil's Aeneid to set a precedent for the British colonization of the New World. By using the Aeneid as a resource for A True Reportory, I argue that Strachey is committed to creating a new and active history for Jamestown by connecting the ongoing foundation of Jamestown to that of the Roman Empire, an empire destined for greatness, in the attempt to align his account with the promotional goals of the Virginia Company. In particular, I will show that Strachey leverages Rome's greatness to induce the British population to take a more active role in the larger North American colonial project, while also using uniquely Roman paradigms of colonialism to legitimize Britain's possession of Jamestown and place the British experience within a known colonial framework.

Using ocean circulation models to explore factors influencing variability in hatchling sea turtle dispersal

Using ocean circulation models to explore factors influencing variability in hatchling sea turtle dispersal.
Author
DuBois, Morgan Jaime
Abstract/Description
When sea turtles hatch, they journey offshore to the open ocean. Currents are one of the factors that influence the success of this journey. The spatial ecology influencing hatchling turtles must be evaluated to protect them most effectively. Here, I examine how spatial, temporal, and climatological factors impact the dispersal of turtle hatchlings via ocean currents. I use the HYCOM global model combined with the Ichthyop particle simulator to measure the current driven dispersal of sea...
Show moreWhen sea turtles hatch, they journey offshore to the open ocean. Currents are one of the factors that influence the success of this journey. The spatial ecology influencing hatchling turtles must be evaluated to protect them most effectively. Here, I examine how spatial, temporal, and climatological factors impact the dispersal of turtle hatchlings via ocean currents. I use the HYCOM global model combined with the Ichthyop particle simulator to measure the current driven dispersal of sea turtles. In a global analysis, spatial traits are a key factor driving dispersal. Annual variability in ocean currents also impact how far turtles can go. The differences in dispersal distance expand across sites and years the longer the turtles are in the water. I also evaluated the spatiotemporal variability in dispersal distance for the Gulf of Mexico endemic Kemp's Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) and related that variability to the frequency and severity of hurricanes. There are important spatiotemporal differences in dispersal that suggest varying levels of hatchling dispersal for each rookery. Further, increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes decreases the dispersal of hatchlings in the Gulf of Mexico. These findings can assist in model building and conservation planning for sea turtles worldwide.

Using environmental DNA and metabarcoding to investigate population genetic characteristics of the Alabama sturgeon, Scaphirhynchus suttkusi, in the Mobile River Basin

Using environmental DNA and metabarcoding to investigate population genetic characteristics of the Alabama sturgeon, Scaphirhynchus suttkusi, in the Mobile River Basin.
Author
King, Jenna Diane
Abstract/Description
Genetics at the population level can illuminate important information about the evolutionary health and history of a population, which can be especially important for threatened or endangered species. The Alabama sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus suttkusi) is the rarest and most endangered species of sturgeon in the world. The decline of this species is attributed largely to historic overfishing and habitat fragmentation by the installation of dams and impoundments in the Mobile River Basin. Despite...
Show moreGenetics at the population level can illuminate important information about the evolutionary health and history of a population, which can be especially important for threatened or endangered species. The Alabama sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus suttkusi) is the rarest and most endangered species of sturgeon in the world. The decline of this species is attributed largely to historic overfishing and habitat fragmentation by the installation of dams and impoundments in the Mobile River Basin. Despite extensive catch efforts through the conventional catch methods, only six individuals have been captured since 1997. Recently, however, positive detections of the Alabama sturgeon in the Mobile River Basin have been confirmed using environmental DNA (eDNA) water samples. This research used 61 eDNA samples that tested positive for Alabama sturgeon DNA to investigate and inventory the population genetic structure. Using high throughput sequencing (metabarcoding) and bioinformatic analyses, ten haplotypes were identified. Calculations on genetic differentiation based on locality revealed that three major dams may be a significant barrier to gene flow. The population genetics data gleaned from eDNA samples will ultimately provide conservation managers with valuable information for future decision-making and management.

Unlocking "The womb of chaos": freedom and agency in Anna Letitia Barbauld's "A summer evening's meditation".

Barcomb, Kyndall Jenee
Abstract/Description
Anna Letitia's "A Summer Evening's Meditation" exhibits a feminine poetics of space that portrays not only the poetic speaker but also the universe itself as distinctly feminine and feminist. This poetics genders the cosmos and permits the poetic speaker to express her longing to explore the universe just as it allows Barbauld to engage in the scientific discourse of astronomy.

Show moreAnna Letitia's "A Summer Evening's Meditation" exhibits a feminine poetics of space that portrays not only the poetic speaker but also the universe itself as distinctly feminine and feminist. This poetics genders the cosmos and permits the poetic speaker to express her longing to explore the universe just as it allows Barbauld to engage in the scientific discourse of astronomy. The speaker herself fulfills her longing as she exercises agency to explore and recreate space in terms of what Elizabeth Grosz identifies as a "freedom from" constraint or oppression and a "freedom to" respond with action (140). The poem's embracing "freedom to" is a radical move that eliminates the woman's need to attain freedom from an oppressor and instead urges her to perform her freedom through agentic action. Agency, in this sense, produces an embodied female subject and empowered female voice able to contribute to ways of knowing and being. As such, the action of "Meditation" functions metaphorically as a critique of eighteenth-century British culture that reinforced male control over scientific discovery, knowledge production, and agency. Reading Barbauld's "Meditation" through Groszean feminist theory re-envisions the poem as an argument for female freedom in its fullest, freest sense.
