This project highlights the first generation student's point of view on the college experience, emphasizing the ways in which students believe ASU can better serve them. First generation students face a unique set of circumstances and attitudes through their first gen status. Oftentimes this intersects with many areas within and outside of college life. Through a means of surveying first generation students on campus, this research draws patterns across first generation student experiences, giving direction for how ASU can begin to better cater towards first generation co

This paper focuses on the impacts of climate change on the Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual (2SLGBTQIA+) population. The paper seeks to fill in the current gap within research in this particular area. I utilize a decolonial and intersectional framework to determine how to achieve queer climate justice. In doing so, I conduct interviews with different climate activists and review current research to come up with possible responses.

Using data from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this paper seeks to determine the impact of juvenile delinquency on labor market outcomes and educational attainment. Overall, this paper found that having a juvenile conviction leads to decreases in the probability of both full time and regular employment. Men with juvenile adjudications were found to have greater decreases in employment in comparison to women. Regarding educational attainment, this study found that having a juvenile conviction increases the likelihood of dropping out of high school and decreases the likelihood of having a four-year degree or higher. This emphasizes the importance of creating more support and reducing barriers for individuals who have been convicted as juveniles to allow them to succeed in the world post incarceration.

This thesis explores the ethical implications of using facial recognition artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in medicine, with a focus on both the opportunities and challenges presented by the use of this technology in the diagnosis and treatment of rare genetic disorders. We highlight the positive outcomes of using AI in medicine, such as accuracy and efficiency in diagnosing rare genetic disorders, while also examining the ethical concerns including bias, misdiagnosis, the issues it may cause within patient-clinician relationships, misuses outside of medicine, and privacy. This paper draws on the opinions of medical providers and other professionals outside of medicine, which finds that while many are excited about the potential of AI to improve medicine, concerns remain about the ethical implications of these technologies. We discuss current legislation controlling the use of AI in healthcare and its ambiguity. Overall, this thesis highlights the need for further research and public discourse to address the ethical implications of using facial recognition and AI technologies in medicine, while also providing recommendations for its future use in medicine.
