    German attitudes towards the United States under Donald Trump’s presidency, based on German reporting.
    (Yeshiva University Libraries. Yeshiva University, 2020-08-30) Kohn, Elisabeth; Freedman, Robert
    This paper covers various political events that affected German attitudes towards the US, including Obama’s approach to the crisis in Syria and the Snowden affair, the transition to the Trump administration and its effect on German foreign policy, US’ withdrawal from the Iran Deal, Trump’s demands regarding German defense expenditures and his attitude towards NATO, the proposed joint European military, the incomplete Nord Stream 2 pipeline project and subsequent US sanctions, and Trump’s plan to withdraw American troops from Germany. (Due to the evolving and complex nature of the coronavirus pandemic, this paper does not address how the health crisis may have affected German attitudes towards the US.) An analysis of how the German media reported on these events is critical to understanding the evolution of German attitudes towards the US under Trump. Given its broad implications with regard to the global economy, politics, diplomacy, and security, a strong grasp of the current state of German-US relations is essential to examining US foreign policy. Questions regarding the future of the transatlantic relationship have become even more relevant as the United States approaches the November 2020 presidential election. (from Introduction)

    The Differing Effects of Narrative Transportation Across Animated and Live Action Movies
    (Yeshiva University Libraries, Yeshiva University, 2022-05) Friedman, Sammy; Jablonka, Jacob; Segal, Josh; Mashmoor, Ron
    This paper looks to request permission to conduct a full study to determine the differences in the levels of Narrative Transportation between animated and live action films. With over two decades of study, Narrative Transportation has been at the forefront of the recent scientific community. Based upon previous studies in the field, we hypothesized that animated and live action movies would create different levels of Narrative Transportation based solely on the differing properties of the two styles. Specifically, due to the complete control and computer generated content present in animated movies, their corresponding levels of Narrative Transportation would be higher than those found in movies made using a live action format. After conducting a pilot study to this effect, we found data that would support this hypothesis. Due to the nature of the pilot study though, we could not confirm our findings. We therefore are requesting to conduct a full study in order to determine if animated movies do produce higher levels of Narrative Transportation as compared to live action movies.

    Historical and theoretical analysis of colonial healthcare.
    (Yeshiva University Stern College for Women, 2023-05) Gross, Bluma; Shvetsov, Dina
    This paper explains the phenomenon of colonial healthcare through a synthesis of Foucault’s conception of Biopower and a traditional and contemporary lens of World-systems theory. A historical and theoretical hybrid analysis of historical and contemporary colonial healthcare systems provide a well-rounded interdisciplinary illustration of how colonial healthcare affected Moroccan and Puerto Rican indigenous populations' determinants of health as well as aspects of their political trajectories into the 20th and 21st centuries. The theoretical and historical findings convey how working-class populations under the scope of colonial and neocolonial rule experienced suboptimal care in their respective systems. Rather than attempting to improve the living conditions of indigenous populations, colonial and neocolonial healthcare was a form of population control and maintained the colonial social hierarchy of the underlying racist ideologies used to justify perfunctory health services. The findings also conclude that colonial and neocolonial healthcare was an attempt to incorporate these peripheral zones into the world economy via contractualization, or the transfer of property rights, which majorly altered the course of these regions’ socio-economic and political institutional realities.
