Is Hollywood Trending towards Gender Parity in Movie Creation and Presentation?
(2025-04) Jaglowicz, Ray
This study focused on the behind-the-scenes composition of the moviemaking process using the 150 top-grossing animated films from 1991-2023. Hollywood has relied on male hegemony to maintain a status quo on-screen and off-screen. However, male and female insiders of the industry have decried this practice in recent history. This study focused on the behind-the-scenes composition of the moviemaking process, as well as the outcomes that appear on-screen. Lastly, this study analyzed how gross income was affected. Instead of analyzing movies year-by-year, the analysis was conducted decade-by-decade to determine trends since year-by-year analysis might not produce noticeable differences.

The Perception Paradox: How the American Female News Anchors' Archetypal Appearance Has Impacted Her Career Both Historically and Contemporarily
(2025-04) Zahn, Veronica
In August 1981, 38-year-old Christine Craft was demoted from a news anchor to a nonvisible reporter for being “Too old, too ugly, and not deferential to men” (White 1324). Craft's experience is not singular. Since their introduction to the television news industry in late 20th-century America, many female television journalists have endured relentless criticism. Using a review of selected scholarly literature and an original survey, this study investigates the relationship between a female news anchor’s level of attractiveness and her perceived credibility. Viewers and professionals alike disproportionately objectify female anchors, and the trend may continue without greater awareness.

New Depths: Furthering Innovative Research Evaluation for an Evidence-Based Teen Program
(2025-04) Marie, Xondrais; Gavin, Holly
With a ten-year history of grant-funded collaboration, the YMCA of Greater Louisville partners with Indiana University Southeast's Applied Research and Education Center (AREC) to develop and evaluate innovative, evidence-based youth programming, bringing more than 8 million dollars of youth programming to our region of Southern Indiana and Louisville, KY. Through federal funding received in 2021 and 2023, the partnership developed and expanded innovations of peer facilitation and the Teen Vibe Camp model for delivering the evidence-based healthy relationship program Love Notes, a program with roots in Louisville. The YMCA and AREC continue to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of these programs.
