Guillemette: Sex trafficking is a very prevalent issue in the U.S. as well as many other countries. It is estimated that every year there are 105,000 children sex trafficked and that number is probably underestimated because of the secrecy of sex trafficking. The average age for a child to be sexually exploited is between 11 and 14 years old. But the question is how do these women in the U.S. end up in this situation? What are the risk factors for women between the ages of 12 and 18 who are sex trafficked in urban parts of the United States and why? I will answer this question by analyzing memoirs such as The Sacred Bath: An American Teen's Story of Modern Day Slavery by Theresa Flores who is a licensed social worker and also an advocate and survivor of sex trafficking. I will also be looking at a memoir by Carissa Phelps called Runaway Girl: Escaping Life on the Streets One Helping Hand at a Time. Carissa Phelps is a survivor of sex trafficking and also an social entrepreneur, youth advocate, licensed lawyer, and author. I will be using secondary literature that analyzes the many risk factors associated with sex trafficking as well as the cultural and societal factors that allow sex trafficking to exist. Although there are many risk factors involved with sex trafficking, I will be focusing on familial risk factors. Chikate: The Rwandan genocide of 1994 is one of the most horrific events of our time. The genocide covered many aspects including it's effects on Rwanda as a whole yet not much attention has been paid to the women who were sexually abused during the genocide. The research aims to explore the psychological, physical and societal consequences of women who were sexually abused and how their communities have treated them as a result of the sexual violence. Carr: This presentation considers the impact of British permanent settlement at the Red River Colony from 1812 to 1869 on Native American women in the upper Midwest and Central Canada. Given that the Red River Colony was the first permanent settlement in Western Canada, did its establishment dramatically alter native women’s experience compared to earlier fur trade society, and if so, how? This presentation will also address what we can and can’t know about the lives of native women by combining analysis of biased European male accounts of the colonial era with less traditional sources. Anderson: The 1970s and 1980s was a time of change for women and their place in society. These changes were taken into reflection in all aspects of life, but found a special interest in science fiction novels of the time. These novels explored new ways for women and men to live together and explored new ideas of sexuality and reproduction. This project was a study of three novels written by female authors from this period in which men and women share and play out new (and some old) roles in futuristic societies and utopias, in order to understand how The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) by Ursula Le Guin, Woman on the Edge of Time (1976) by Marge Piercy, and Ethan of Athos (1986) by Lois McMaster Bujold envision new roles of motherhood for men through altering gender dynamics, and why the authors envision these roles in certain ways but not others, giving thought to the time period and the authors’ own experiences. Johnson, Cherry, Gross, Cornell, Jagodinski, Foley, Exsted: Inspired by Michael Kimmel's "Guy Code," our Sex & Gender Sociology research project explores what it means to be a Johnnie at CSB/SJU. During late November 2012, we conducted informal interviews with Bennies and Johnnies of all class years to determine if Johnnies adhere to a specific code regarding emotions, attitudes, and values. We then coded all responses and came up with our own "Johnnie Code." Come hear what we learned about what it means to be a Johnnie and witness the fascinating discovery about men on our campus! Twedt: How do fathers of daughters in hockey conceptualize and convey gender attitudes and why? Exploration into blogs and articles written by hockey fathers have given better understanding and insight into fathers’ beliefs of their daughters in hockey. It has also been found that most fathers convey positive attitudes towards their daughters and about girls in hockey in primary sources. However, not all secondary sources agree with the idea of fathers being supportive. Lindquist: In preparation for the centennial celebration of the College of Saint Benedict, I have spent my time researching our local history. Approaching the story from the prospective of students, my research has been directed to the decade of the 1950s. I have analyzed oral interviews, student publications, and other archival records to piece together the student experience of our women’s Catholic institution. Marked by both continuity and transformation, the students who called this place home in the 1950s have a story worthy of our attention. Hispanic Studies Schedule

Abstracts Her: As a Fall 2012 recipient of the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, I was able to study abroad in Japan and gain a valuable international experience. In my presentation, I will emphasize the importance of international education through what I learned while I was in Japan and how the scholarship helped me to achieve my goal to study abroad. Owens: The story of Jesse James has become one of the most familiar myths in American history, as a western outlaw, gunfighter, and even as an American Robin Hood. Newspaper coverage and popular fiction helped to establish James as a legendary figure while he was still alive. Following his death in 1882, his representation continued in a multitude of media, further solidifying him as a legendary outlaw hero within American history. This project looks into not only the various representations of the outlaw, but also into what has shaped these representations. Tusa: The Occupation by the Germans in the Channel Islands was a unique event in which Islanders experienced a war different than that of mainland Britons. The British Myth of World War II describes the experience of the British people as one in which everyone banded together as a single unified people against an overwhelming force. It is now understood that there was no such single unified experience of the British people. The wartime experiences of the Channel Islanders add to a new understanding of the British experience of World War II based in broadly varied war experiences. Girgen: An analysis of Nazi propaganda from the years 1933-1945 examining how Jews were represented in various types of mass media and how effective these representations were as propaganda. StGeorge: Herodotus, father of the western conception of history, writes the only surviving relatively contemporary accounts of the famous Battle of Marathon. But, unlike modern or even other historians of the classical period in the Mediterranean, his historical account falls short of being called factual history. Instead, Herodotus, likely drawing from the Homeric tradition, crafts an entertaining and heroic picture of the events of the Battle of Marathon, missing important factual details. Examined using Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War and Aeschylus’ The Persian, Herodotus’ account of the Battle of Marathon is critiqued to show forth its insufficiencies and its underlying democratic bias. Ultimately, Herodotus’ notions of democracy are traced to the overarching sentiments of Athens at the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War, and the effects these thoughts and notions would have had on the outbreak of the war. Free: I examine three aspects of President Johnson's Model Cities program and the urban Native American situation in Minneapolis from 1969-1974: the goals and outcomes of the Model Cities program as applied to Indian people, the challenges faced by Minneapolis Indian people, and the extent to which the former successfully addressed the latter. I hope to share a richer understanding of what Native Americans living in the Minneapolis area in the late 1960s and early 1970s needed to flourish in American society, and how well the Model Cities program met these needs. nagaoka: This presentation explores the question of what caused the Bengal Famine of 1943. It will examine the impact of food availability decline as well as the role of local, state, national and British policies enacted between 1942-1945. It will identify factors that created an environment conducive for famine, the direct causes of the famine, and exacerbating factors that intensified the famine. It concludes that the famine was primarily man-made. Gou: This research will focus on the reasons why the U.S. government decided to sell arms to Taiwan in 1982, even though such a policy would downgrade its fragile relations with China. This research will focus on the political, personal and domestic reasons behind such a decision. Modern & Classical Languages Schedule
