The Kurdish Question: Kurdish Identity in the Modern Turkish State Peter Kassig, Faculty Sponsor: Margaret Brabant, Butler University This paper attempts to answer questions related to the relationship between ethnicity and national identity of the Kurdish people in Turkey. Mustafa Kemal, leader of the Turkish War of Independence (insert dates of the war), and first President of the Turkish Republic (dates), initiated a series of reforms commonly referred to as Kemalism. These reforms were, amongst other things, attempts at modernization in the development of the modern Turkish state that some critics of Mustafa Kemal (better known as Atatürk) assert. This includes the suppression of particular ethnic and cultural identities in Turkey and attempts to assimilate them into the mainstream Turkish population. The Kurdish population in Turkey has suffered greatly as a result of Kemalism and has, since the inception of the republic, resisted state organized attempts at assimilation, by way of peaceful protest, as well as violent revolt. The Kurds, with their own language, culture, and identity, represent a quarter of Turkey’s population. Once allies of the Ottoman empire and initial supporters of Mustafa Kemal, the Kurds have found themselves an isolated and disavowed people, and the center of a powerful and often bloody dispute regarding the possibility of a separate Kurdish state. Referred to as the “Kurdish Question”, this dispute within Turkey is one that has evolved through periods of violence perpetuated by both separatist Kurds and the Turkish government to a position of ambivalence and stagnant repression by the Turkish state. Only through a deeper understanding of Kurdish identity and culture can Turkey hope to resolve dispute(s) stemming from the separation and isolation of Kurds that the state itself initiated. Though the Turkish state has launched numerous initiatives aimed at integrating Kurds into mainstream society in Turkey; housing projects in the East, re-instatement of Kurdish broadcasting, ect., these efforts are insufficient for closing the gap between the Kurdish people and the Turkish state. In order for lasting peace and reconciliation to be established, both the Government and the Kurdish people need to work together unilaterally to bring about both political reform and a shift in cultural ideology. Issues with Pakistani Women's Citizenship Megan Moles, Faculty Sponsor: Larry Williamson, Butler University This research presents the complicated and unequal case of women's citizenship in the country of Pakistan. Women are not allowed to give their citizenship to their husbands should they marry foreigners, and are therefore forced to continue to be under the control of a patriarchal system. Questions explored include human rights, women's rights, as well as rights of citizenship. Case studies include those of women within the country of Pakistan as well as India. John F. Kennedy as an Innovator in the Peace Movement Kacie Newhouse, Faculty Sponsor: Gerald Waite, Ball State University John F. Kennedy was one of the leading innovators in bringing peace to the world. One of Kennedy’s biggest accomplishments as president involved preventing nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis. During a time when we were on the brink of nuclear war and when the USSR was setting up missiles in Cuba for a potential attack on the United States, JFK prevented
Soviets from reaching the island through strategic, peaceful measures, preventing a war where one could have easily been started with one wrong move. In addition, Kennedy conceptualized The Peace Corps in 1951 in seeking to bring peace to underprivileged and impoverished nations. While several of his opponents doubted the effectiveness of such an organization, Kennedy believed it would shatter the notion of Yankee Imperialism and spread peace to areas that were in desperate need of rebuilding. These accomplishments show Kennedy was a dedicated innovator to the creation and spread of peace throughout his political career. Closer to Home: The Push towards Regionalization in Response to Globalization Josh Slusher, Faculty Sponsor: Paul Hanson, Butler University The rise of globalization in the last century has been deeply discussed and debated encompassing nearly every field of study. The influence of globalism is undeniable, yet what has been less analyzed is the world’s increasing movement towards regionalization within the context of larger globalization. As the international community faces increasingly daunting social revolutions, political destabilizations, and economic crises, many nations seek to combat these mounting problems through regional economic blocs and political unions. This paper will endeavor to better comprehend the factors behind this push towards regionalization by examining regional blocs such as the European Union, the Organization for American States, the Arab League, the Association of South East Asian Nations, and the African Union. PSYCHOLOGY The Effects of Gender and Sociosexual Orientation on Perceptions of Casual Sex Ashley Adams & Whitley Holt, Faculty Sponsor: Ellen Altermatt, Hanover College This study was designed to examine if there is still a double standard for judging individuals who engage in casual sex, and if the gender and personal sexual behavior of the participant affect this standard. Participants read hypothetical scenarios in which the actors engaged in casual sex. The gender of the initiator of the sexual act was manipulated. Participants were asked to evaluate the initiator of the sexual act, to indicate their own gender, and to complete Penke’s Revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (2011) to assess their personal sexual behavior. We anticipate that males who initiate casual sex will be judged less harshly than females who initiate casual sex, but that this double-standard will be moderated by both the participants’ gender and personal sexual behavior. False Memory in the DRM Paradigm: A Comparison of Synesthetes and Non-Synesthetic Controls Caitlin Anderson, Faculty Sponsor: Mandy Gingerich, Butler University This study investigated how the superior memory of synesthetic individuals “protects” them from false memories. Synesthesia is a non-disordered cross-wiring of the senses (Hubbard & Ramachandran, 2005). A color-grapheme synesthete might associate the letter “A” with the color
