Representations of the Military in 20th Century Ethnic American Literature
PI Kara Fontenot
Building on existing literary and ethnic studies scholarship with respect to the construction of American identity, I am considering the political work of representations of the U.S military in ethnic American literature. Ethnic American texts that contain representations of the U.S. military are an essential yet understudied part of a politicized, nation-centered critical discourse that examines strategies for constructing and negotiating national identity, practices of inclusion and exclusion with regard to citizenship and relationships between individual, racial group, ethnic group and nation.

Teaching Innovation
PI Aaron Glassman
CO-I Rosalee Opengart
This research will examine the role of cognitive predisposition in the ability of university students to operationalize innovation. Using Regulatory Focus Theory as a lens, different university curricula from schools teaching innovation will be compared to determine if there is a specific way in which innovation could be taught to allow the most number of students to operationalize the concept of innovation. Finally, innovation as a concept will be connected to entrepreneurship and creativity and the scope of the research widened for further study.
