Exploring Youth Victimization and Resilience Experiences through the Life History Calendar Method

Purpose: This exploratory study aims to examine characteristics and patterns of victimization experiences and protective factors during youth through the life history calendar (LHC) method with a sample of young adults. Participants: This study will recruit 25 young adults (ages 18-24) who are of a racial or ethnic minoritized identity. Potential participants must also endorse experiencing at least two victimizations prior to the age of 18 that occurred over two months in duration and at least one victimization experience rated as having had a moderately severe impact on the individual. Procedures: Participants will retrospectively reflect on their victimization experiences (onset, duration, perceived severity of impact) and perceived protective factors during childhood and early adolescence (< 18 years old) through the completion of an LHC interview.

Omega 3-fatty acid 3 month intervention for male adults who are overweight or obese.

Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation, which increases the risk for other metabolic diseases. Omega-3 fatty acids and their derivatives have anti-inflammatory properties but are reduced in people who are overweight or obese. The purpose of this study is to determine if omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (SPM Active) for 3 months can effectively increase the biological levels of its lipid components in adult males who are overweight or obese. Additionally, we will determine if supplementation with SPM Active can improve mental health outcomes, as measured by validated surveys.

Activating the archive: Understanding research behaviors related to the Greensboro Massacre

This research will examine the variable ways that people have used and interpreted collections related to the Greensboro Massacre in Wilson Library, and how they conceptualize their research in relation to memory, history, and justice. This project will involve semi-structured interviews with five to eight researchers, working to understand how the interviewees interpret and disseminate their findings from the archive. Afterwards, I will compare interview responses, in order to trace common and divergent themes. I will interview both academic researchers, as well as community historians and activists.

Food Narratives: Intergenerational Immigration Stories within the Vietnamese Diaspora Across North Carolina

Vietnamese Americans in North Carolina have vibrant diversity in origin stories - in pursuit of political freedom (Dang 2008), access to higher quality education (Ngo 2007), and religious freedom (Phan 2023) among many others. As such, the purpose of the study is to identify unique immigration stories from the Vietnamese American diaspora in North Carolina. The discussions of food will be utilized to investigate personal immigration stories; ultimately, the study will observe the generational effects of immigration and the impact of food on their relationship with their community.
