- Exhibit on Asian AmericaFralin, Scott; Nguyen, Quynh; Lian, Joseph; Kim, Michelle; Lumba, Allan E. S.; Phan, Jenna; Sano-Franchini, Jennifer (Virginia Tech, 2019-04-08)This exhibit was created as an introduction to the history, culture, politics, activism, and social contexts of the experiences of Asian Americans. Especially during Asian Pacific Islander American Heritage Month, we want to emphasize the importance of mapping and understanding our histories—through stories, photos, policies, art, literature— and how they have shaped our experiences as Asian Americans today. This exhibit is split up into 5 themes: histories of inclusion and exclusion; activism; high-stakes topics and current events; culture; and identity. Within these sections, our committee members have curated content that provides a snapshot of progress and development of the Asian American identity, through the lens of that certain theme. Consider reflecting on and defining what the Asian American identity means to you, at the middle table. As you peruse and take in our exhibit, we hope you gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the struggles, experiences, nuances, and realities of our Asian American community. If you are Asian American, we truly hope this exhibit has empowered you to explore deeper within yourself for what it means to be an Asian American. During this month, reflect on our legacies in the US; we do not care to have our experiences, histories, and struggles defined by anyone else but ourselves.
- US Healthcare Reform in a Green New Deal WorldBonnes, Caroline; Harley, Diana; Koppler, Natalie; Phan, Jenna; Lewis, Stephanie N. (2020-05-09)National health insurance has been a topic of discussion in the United States for over a century, yet even in 2020, this is a widely controversial and argued topic. There are disagreements about who should provide healthcare, who should be responsible for providing insurance, and what role, if any, the government should have in the process. One thing remains clear, however: access to healthcare in the United States is inherently unstable. Through an analysis of the Green New Deal, the current healthcare system, health expenditures and outcomes, private insurance in the US, and a survey of healthcare in other countries, this report aims to answer the following research question: Would a renovation of the current healthcare system following the initiatives outlined within the GND allow for the effective and efficient provision of equitable quality healthcare to all individuals living within the US? This report was developed as the final project deliverable for the Honors StudioStudio course "Data Analysis for Health Reform".
