There are forces behind the success of a person and of a family. We looked for reasons, traits, and traditions behind the pillar of the family. A woman who carried herself through decades of change with perseverance and guided generations to bright futures. Through listening to the stories of those she impacted, we only begin to see all of her hard work, strife, joy for life, and wealth of knowledge and love. This is a humble effort to paint a story of her life from the compilation of stories we listened to, the things we learned, and the legacies we strive to continue from the woman who raised us.

Based on providing visual representation of all functions and key pieces of content, What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) is the current interface design paradigm primarily used in personal computing machines. As we move into a world where computing power continues to increase, and we choose to decrease the physical size of our machines so that they will fit into our pockets, WYSIWYG will break. This research agenda explores a paradigm shift, asking whether users of computing machines can effectively complete tasks without this reliance on visual representation of all functions and information. The two experiments described in this dissertation seek to answer these questions: 1) do visual ...
Interactive documentary is still an emerging field that eludes concise definitions or boundaries. Grounded in practice-based research, this collection seeks to expand the sometimes exclusionary field, giving voice to scholars and practitioners working outside the margins. Editors Kathleen M. Ryan and David Staton have curated a collection of chapters written by a global cohort of scholars to explore the ways that interactive documentary as a field of study reveals an even broader reach and definition of humanistic inquiry itself.

Political parties, interest groups, and candidate campaigns all pursue similar goals in presidential elections: each entity attempts to mobilize voters. However, the regulatory environment often prevents these groups from coordinating their efforts. With participants playing by new rules mandated by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, the 2004 presidential election included previously unseen configurations and alliances between political actors. In some campaign situations, the resulting 'dance' was carefully choreographed. In others, dancers stepped on each other's toes. In still others, participants could only eye each other across the floor. Dancing without Partners intensively analyzes the relationships among candidates, political parties, and interest groups under the BCRA's new regulations in the 2004 election cycle in five battleground states. The chapters assess the ways in which the rules of the game have changed the game itself_and also how they haven't. The result is a book that will be invaluable to researchers and students of presidential elections.
