Stander Symposium abstract book - University of Dayton

9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Project (October 2008, N=2252), I examine the relationship between family satisfaction and hand held technology use within the boundaries of
the home and work place. Cross tabs and frequency analysis show the relationship between communication technologies and family satisfaction.
Few studies have been conducted on how the communication technologies are changing levels of family satisfaction, and this study suggests
more research needs to be done to explore how communication technologies affect the boundary between home and work life.

This research examines the impact illegal drug abuse has on juvenile delinquents. The research design is an in-depth secondary data analysis of
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Preventionâs (OJJDP) Juvenile Court Statistics that are part of the annual report published each year
by the OJJDP and housed by the National Juvenile Court Data Archive. This archive stores the automated records of cases handled by courts with
juvenile jurisdiction. The annual reports offer access to more than 35 million delinquency cases from 1985 to 2009. This research project analyzes
the patterns and trends of juvenile drug abuse from 2000-2009. The juvenile court statistics include 1.7 million delinquency cases per year that
provides data to analyze illegal drug use by juveniles. A number of specific questions drawn from these reports will be analyzed to determine the
patterns and trends of juvenile illegal drug use within and across the years from 2000 to 2009. Analyzing these case rates will be accomplished
through a comparison of questions on age, gender, and race of offender, and illegal drug use. The same questions generated by the researcher will
be used to examine each year, leading to an overall analysis of the 2000-2009 time span.

All Photography majors in the Department of Visual Arts present in the Stander Symposium as a component of their capstone course. This capstone
course examines the aesthetic, cultural, ethical, and pragmatic issues relating to photography through the production of a portfolio of
photographs that address a self-defined and self-directed project. In addition to the photographic work, assigned readings and related written
components associated with these readings build practical and conceptual skills that contribute to the production of a professional portfolio and
final oral presentation. The Stander presentation is the culmination of the student’s senior year in the study of photography.
Between Image and Imagination: American Landscapes from the Dicke Collection

Independent Research Kennedy Union - 222
For as long as America has been a country, and even before national formation, artists have been fascinated by the hills, fields, deserts, coasts,
and vistas that comprise its varied natural inheritance. Their representations and reconstructions of the land, however, have rarely been strictly
realistic. Instead, successive generations of artists have employed the subject of the land as a much as documentation of the American spirit as of
the specific landscape before their eyes. This presentation will explore the connection between image and imagination and the role of personal
and national spirit in the subtext of the American landscape. A group of American landscapes from the Dicke Collection forms the basis of this
exploration of the relationship between the evolving society and its perception of the land it inhabits.
