Undergraduate thesis building on Feagan's (2007) analysis of ideas of community and place, and Kloppenburg et al.'s (1996) concept of foodsheds, and a modified form of drive-time polygons, termed 'marketsheds' that demarcate the consumer-draw area for farmers' markets. Specifically, the research analyzes the spatial distribution of local food communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (DFW) in Texas and links the foodshed concept to elements of community and sense of place. Two questions guide this study: 1) What are the characteristics of the DFW local foods movement? 2) How do local food producers create and conceptualize community and place?

Undergraduate thesis studying hypoxia by utilizing the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to test for the possibility of other cellular components in the genetic response to hypoxia survival. Through a forward genetic screen, the author isolated three potentially sensitive strains, and narrowed it to one strain that has reduced movement and developmental growth. The hope is to further characterize this mutant strain to discover a new part of the hypoxia cellular response in C. elegans.

Undergraduate thesis exploring criticisms of patriarchy in women's captivity narratives by examining Mary Rowlandson's The Sovereignty and Goodness of God (1862) and Sarah Wakefield's Six Weeks in the Sioux Tepees: A Narrative of Indian Captivity (1862). Both used their socially acceptable roles in order to assert their own ideas regarding the patriarchy. The author concludes that both narratives therefore assert that patriarchal societies did not necessarily produce justice for English or American women who were a part of these societies, or for the Dakota Indians who lived in close contact with a patriarchal society.

Undergraduate thesis examining the moderating role of religious coping on the associations between romantic attachment and psychological symptoms among 86 heterosexual, married couples with children aged 8-11. Spouses completed a demographic questionnaire, the Brief RCOPE (Pargament et al., 1998), the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (Brennan et al., 1998), and the Symptom Assessment-45 (Maruish, 1996, 1998).

Undergraduate thesis exploring intuitive eating. Dietary restraint can cause problems for all age groups, but may be particularly difficult for children and early adolescents because of pressure and critical messages they receive from parents regarding the restriction of food intake (Kroons, Van Diest, & Tylka, 2010). The authors expected that early adolescents who were dieting would report more disruptions in their intuitive eating than those who were not. Further, to determine if such disruptions were associated with dieting and not another accepted form of weight management, specifically increases in cardiorespiratory activities, relation to intuitive eating was examined as well.

Undergraduate thesis exploring modern American racism as the result of the nation's legacy of theological white supremacy and its deep-rooted racial issues that remain unresolved because of the theo-mythologies embedded at the core of the nation's foundational fabric that have been and continue to be largely unaccounted for in corrective racial discourse through a case study of Denton, Texas. By employing localized interdisciplinary methodological approaches aimed at unveiling the theo-myth which underscores the modern American racial ontology, this study examines how theological white supremacy was homogenized into popular culture in Denton County Texas following the Civil War via neo-Confederate Ku Klux Klan movement, which the author calls Ku Klux Konfederatism, that continues its influence today through localized theo-political institutions, sociocultural systems and cultural 'norms.'
