The HSS Student Expo will showcase the work of our outstanding humanities and social sciences students. It will bring together in a single forum all of our longstanding HSS department and program end-of-year student events, and expand to highlight student work in programs and departments that will generate student-centered events for the first time.
Presentations will cover multicultural counseling in speech-language pathology, online learning in minority populations, and knowledge and awareness of hearing loss by education majors.
Hosted by Professor Dorothy Neave-DiToro
Students in the Children and Youth Studies (CHST) Program and the ChildrenFirst Club present their newly created online CHST E-Library DropBox and discuss with participants, in an interactive forum, current topics affecting children and youth that are relevant to us, including issues of implicit bias, institutional racism, social justice, disability, and LGBTQ, to name a few. How do these issues relate to how we see ourselves in the world and our future careers? Come hear our voices and let us hear yours.

The ChildrenFirst Club E-board:
During this pandemic, issues of equity and racial justice exploded and took center stage in the United States. Come hear about some emerging realities we are facing from students just like you who are doing research projects (that include questionnaires) on various topics of emerging realities from women to education to racial identity.
Hosted by Professor María Pérez y González
The Expo examines the nature of the global political economy and nation state and the influence of neoliberal political economy across industries. The panel focuses on the significance of capital flows in production, supply, and distribution of goods and services and the role of labor and workers across countries. We examine the global supply chain, and how value is transferred from poor to rich countries by means of new economic imperialism. Students apply theories and concepts to political economy and national development and will examine approaches to studying the evolution of the nation state, focusing on political economy and the labor process, social classes, and the evolving nature of capitalism.
Hosted by Professor Immanuel Ness
