\"\"<\/a>Michael Howard<\/a> (Philosophy)<\/p>\n

Egalitarian Justifications for Universal Basic Income<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jon Ippolito<\/a> (New Media)\"\"<\/h3>\n

Engaging Online Humanities Students with Digital Badges<\/em><\/p>\n

Ippolito proposed to use funds to expand the university\u2019s Just-in-Time Learning platform to serve humanities professors better for the needs of distance education, by creating a user-friendly web interface to help non-technical faculty create interactive tutorials for online classes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Ian J. Jesse (Bureau of Labor Education)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Mother Jones in Heaven-A Musical by Si Kahn<\/em><\/p>\n

PhD candidate Jesse plans to use funds to host a performance of Mother Jones in Heaven, a one-woman musical that explores the life of labor activist Mary Harris Jones. The production would coincide with a new Labor Studies topics course that examines the history of Women, work, and labor in the United States. Maine labor union activists will engage the artist and audience in a short discussion of current struggles and issues during the question and answer period that follows the show.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jessica Miller<\/a> (Philosophy)\"Jessica<\/h3>\n

Moral Metaphors in Clinical Ethics<\/em><\/p>\n

Miller was awarded funds to support travel for presenting a paper at the Association for Medical Humanities conference at the University of Limerick, Ireland. Her work examines how metaphors help us to share experiences and also understand conceptual knowledge. Her paper examines the way metaphors are deployed in the theory and practice of clinical ethics, and analyzes the implicit reliance of clinical ethics on metaphors and significance of this reliance for theory and practice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Dominic Piacentini<\/a> (Anthropology, Office of Research Administration)<\/h3>\n

Wild Foods & Natural Gas: Making and Unmaking Property in North Central West Virginia<\/em><\/p>\n

These funds supported Piancentini in his ethnographic fieldwork investigating how plants, natural gas pipeline development, and people all discursively shape conceptualizations of \u201cproperty\u201d and \u201caccess\u201d in Appalachia, a region in which extract and export economic models have dominated the management of property and resources.<\/p>\n
