Education has been a popular topic within recent years, which often includes the powerful and positive effects it can have a person’s life. However, education is rarely discussed as a hierarchal discourse of power; people are assumed to have had equal upbringings in life, unaffected by race, gender, disability, family background, and so on. Additionally, it is considered taboo to question the education system both inside the classroom and outside of it, such as media, socializing, etc. This paper will include a discussion of racism with a dual-focus: an academic perception of what is “educational” while also blending real-life experiences of racism. My paper will also include works from various news outlets with a key focus on renowned theorist and educator Paulo Freire, author of Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

Utilizing Hegelian thought, this essay considers the implications of conceptually compartmentalizing the public and private life of individuals. Inspired by relational concepts of personhood in feminist philosophy and the Private is Political movement, I revisit Hegel's understandings of personhood and the State in the Elements of the Philosophy of Right. Using
Hegel's syllogistic framework, I call attention to the arbitrary division between the private and public life that is maintained in standard models of citizenship. Through the Citizenship Problem and Yeatman’s Formulation, I extract three characteristics of an ideal model of citizenship. Through further implementation of Hegel’s syllogistic structure, I argue that personhood and citizenship are structurally symmetric; therefore, these spheres of social life can be successfully integrated into a coherent concept of selfhood. I synthesize these notions into a syllogism of self- as-citizen, thereby developing a coherent notion of personhood that acknowledges the integration of all spheres of social life.

This paper explores the works of art throughout the Dada art period from three specific artists; Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, and Baroness Elsa Von Freytag-Loringhoven. It delves deep into the making of the pieces and the influences behind them. The pieces are analyzed through the lens of gender and gender bias that is caused by the changing of societal roles during World War One. Those roles touching on topics such as women entering the work force and the evolution and devolution of the typical masculine role throughout history. The paper is brought together to explore how these societal changes influenced works of art through this specific artistic period.

The purpose of this study was to determine the needs and desires of students with disabilities after high school completion. Our specific study focused on students with disabilities of all ages at Northwestern High School; the participants were selected by case managers at the school. Data was collected through a questionnaire with closed-ended questions. The majority of students identified college as what they would like to do after high school; a large number also expressed wanting to move out of the Maple, Wisconsin, area. Money, job prospects, and transportation were identified as major concerns. The data collected will be useful to Northwestern High School and Superior Vocations Inc. in creating additional services and learning opportunities to fully prepare students for the lives they want to live after high school.
