Sexual assault at colleges and universities in the United States is a significant health and human rights issue that impacts somewhere between one-in-four and one-in-five students. Despite the alarmingly high burden, overall rates of disclosing to crisis, health, and victim services, and reporting to schools and law enforcement remain low. In order to buffer students from associated short- and long-term harm, and help them reestablish safety and pursue justice, empirically-supported, innovative, and trauma-informed secondary prevention strategies are needed. To address this pressing issue, the current study used a trauma-informed, feminist community research approach to develop and design a prototype of an internet-based decision aid specifically tailored to assist students at Arizona State University who experience sexual assault with making informed choices about reporting and seeking care, advocacy, and support on and off campus. Results from preliminary alpha testing of the tool showed that: 1. It is feasible to adapt decision aids for use with the target population, and 2. While aspects of the tool can be improved during the next phases of redrafting and redesign, members of the target population find it to be acceptable, comprehensible, and usable.

Current research indicates that the expanding role of principals continues to be one of the most critical elements of successful public schools (Waters, Marzano, McNulty, 2003). This study seeks to advance and elaborate on the role of the principalship in general and seeks to identify behaviors of principals in schools that have been recognized by the California Department of Education by being awarded both the Title I Achieving Schools Award and California Distinguished Schools Award for the school year 2003--2004. The 11 principals interviewed received the California Distinguished Schools Award and the Title I Achieving Schools Award in the school year 2003--2004 and were principals for at least two years prior to receiving the awards. Additionally, each of the schools had a student population that included at least 25 percent English language learners and at least 50 percent identified as socio-economically disadvantaged. Participants in this study were asked about the development and implementation of a vision for their school, the characteristics of the school that led to success, and their views on organizational change and transformation. This study used both in-depth interviews and narrative inquiry as the main methods of gathering data. The results yielded the 10 following behaviors with the greatest frequency: Earn the trust and respect of your staff, connect with your students, hire quality people (keep them current, energized, and committed), leverage the management of your schools to further your instructional leadership, develop a culture of excellence, collaborate with all stakeholders, understand and embrace the complexity of change, focus on your vision, face the facts: use the data, set short-term goals, and celebrate successes. Recommendations from the study include: (1) Reevaluating the administrator credential program to make the curriculum more applicable to the principalship. (2) Increase the rigor of the tier II credential program and develop a more useful renewal process for the administrative credential. (3) Districts to adopt training and support programs for new and current administrators. (4) Further research to be conducted on the effective use of time.

Primary care within the United States' health care system is evolving to address increases in chronic conditions across the lifespan that impact individuals' daily lives, and the health care system's performance and cost. Even as interprofessional primary care teams aim to manage a large majority of health needs over time, these teams often lack the skilled professionals necessary to address function in daily life. Occupational therapy's distinct value as experts in evaluation and intervention for health-related occupational development, adaptation, prevention and management can address this problem. However, continued education and additional tools are necessary in order for occupational therapists to increase their knowledge of the profession's role in primary care, increase self-efficacy in promoting occupational therapy to stakeholders, and increase self-efficacy to utilize resources for research and establishing occupational therapy in primary care settings. The proposed online course Occupational Therapy in Primary Care: What, Why, Where, & How? is specifically targeted to occupational therapists to addresses these outcomes. Theoretical and historical evaluation of occupational therapy in primary care in the United States and Canada supports understanding the problem and mechanisms that can help navigate efforts to include occupational therapy in primary care. Diffusion of Innovations and Adult Learning Theory guide the course's two-phases of development and dissemination. This project is a timely contribution to the emerging area of occupational therapy in primary care that supports the Institute for Health Care Improvements' (IHI) Triple Aim to improve the individual experience of care, health of populations and reduce per capita cost of care.

"Staged Technologies: From Multimedia Theatre to Cybernetic Theatre in Spain and the Americas" explores the use of new technologies in theatre today and how they are incorporated in Latin American, Spanish and U.S. Latino Theatre productions from 1985--2008. From the wide spectrum of possibilities the dissertation privileges multimedia and cybernetic theatrical practices. The study is based on the analysis of twenty-one theatrical productions from Spain, Chile and U.S. Latinos' within their national as well as international theatrical and historical context. The pieces include staged productions by well-known theatrical groups, new avant-garde groups, street theatre and a religious festival. The aim of this diversity is to demonstrate that multimedia and cybernetic theatrical practices are transnational and transcultural. In this study the main topic of discussion is the use of multimedia and digital techniques as a means of theatrical and performative communication. It also sheds light on the relationship between theatre production and economic trends such as postmodernism, neoliberalism and globalization. The corpus of study is a multitude of very diverse theatrical forms and expressions. As is common in theatre, Latin American, Spanish and U.S. Latino playwrights search for new aesthetics and avant-garde means by which to communicate with a very large community and multicultural society. The assumption of this research is that the performances with emphasis on technologies coexist with a diversity of theatrical trends and developed parallel to other more canonical theatrical discourses. Yet much of the mode of theatrical communication and techniques by theatre groups today has appropriated a cyber-cultural means of communication. I argue that these trends in contemporary theatre transcends national boundaries and implements transnational and multimedia codes to reach today's spectator, one whose visual competence is strongly influenced by contemporary visual cultures, cinema, modern art, television, marketing, mass media, digital and cyber-culture. The new technologies allow the contemporary playwright new modes of representation and to include new cultural and social spaces such as women, gay, lesbian, marginal individuals and marginal social groups. The approach I use integrates cultural studies, semiotics of theatre, discourses theories, performance, film and visual studies. In spite of critics who question multimedia, cybernetic and internet theatre, I propose that playwrights have adapted to the new technologies in order to represent singular world visions and social imaginaries. Multimedia, virtual, cyber and internet theatres are the contemporary versions of a long tradition of the interrelationship between technologies and theatre.

In recent decades, mimesis has become a critical term for rethinking relationality, difference, and affect, reconsidered against the notions of artistic autonomy and representation. While music---and sound in general---seldom feature in these accounts, issues of musical autonomy and representation (aesthetic and political) in music studies have given way to a concern with immediacy, relationality, and vibration that bypass a revaluation of the discipline's own accounts of mimesis, still understood largely as imitation. I propose a radical revision of mimesis away from its traditional understanding to bridge these various gaps and to reaffirm the necessity of thinking of alterity and difference in expanded conceptions of musical relationality. Music is more central in ancient Greek accounts of mimesis, especially in Plato's Republic, than current musicology acknowledges. In close reading of these texts and drawing on the work of Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jacques Derrida (1975), I elaborate a critical methodology to analyze the logics of mimesis---the mimetologies---as they are deployed in theoretical works and artistic performances. I propose to understand mimesis in music not as imitation but as (1) related to the ancient Greek mousike---the collective performance of sung poetry and dance; (2) the production of originals out of copies (and not the reverse); (3) the inscription of the ethos and laws of the community through musical practice; (4) a general process involved in the production and negotiation of value, identity, and difference. This revaluation of mimesis challenges narratives of emancipation and discontinuity that continue to privilege a Romantic philosophy of autonomous music and which fail to offer rigorous accounts of music's social inscription. In close dialogue with musicological and philosophical historiography, I focus on the Artusi-Monteverdi controversy, the Medici intermedi of 1589, and early operas, Peri's L'Euridice (1600) and Monteverdi's L'Orfeo (1607). As a mimetic performance, music does not mirror or represent social orders but participates in their production and regulation. I conclude that early modern spectacle and opera employed an ethos of allegrezza to inscribe the laws of a patriarchal society in which sovereign power was preserved across Europe through marriage ties and strictly male inheritance.
