Item“Andersrum”: Exploring Intersectionality within the LGBT Rights Movement in Berlin, Germany in the 1970s(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021) Graffunder, PatriciaMy final project will consist of a 15-minute documentary and a research paper. Through examining parts of the life and work of activist and artist Rita “Tommy” Thomas, someone very active in both the political and artistic sides of the gay and lesbian movement in Berlin throughout most of her life, I plan to explore broader themes about the role of women in the gay and lesbian activist movements as well as the collaboration of women’s activist and homosexual activist groups that in turn produced the rise of lesbian groups and activism in the 1970s. While the Berlin LGBT rights movement at this time was often seen as mainly pursuing sexual freedom and focused heavily on cisgender, white men, the intersectional goals of the movement and cooperation with organizations fighting racism, sexism, and colonialism are often overlooked (Evans). Using archival media from newspapers, photography, and recordings/films, I hope to not only bring to light these goals and the stories of groups and individuals less visible in the movement, but also display a sense of attitudes towards lesbian and activist women, both within and outside of the LGBT community. I have been able to find two women as interview partners who were involved in this cultural and political scene to incorporate anecdotes and first-hand accounts that flesh out the material I already have about Tommy. I am also hoping to find at least two more interview partners experiencing intersecting forms of oppression along with homophobia who can provide me with their perspective on queer community and identity today.

ItemThe Gray Tsunami: Facilitating Longevity, Dignity, and Happiness for Geriatric Generations through Innovation and Socialization(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021) Anderson, KelsieMy final project will consist of a documentary that showcases a comparative analysis of the reformation of senior living in Germany and in the United States. I am questioning if our cultures are prepared for the largest generation of seniors to come. I will briefly discuss COVID-19 impact on senior living communities, but will primarily focus on evergreen issues in senior living communities and the innovators who are changing the way our culture perceives old age and retirement. These issues entail maintaining dignified living, sustaining various dimensions of health, and preserving cognitive function.The documentary educates and facilitates relatable storylines through the intertwining journeys of pivotal industry leaders and the senior residents that live in their communities. The main narrative focuses on a Frau Lily Townsend, 93, a German resident living at Village Park Peachtree Corners. Townsend’s sister, Herta Dietz, 101, lives in a senior living community located in the German town of Bad Elster. The other subjects to be featured include industry leaders Tim Gary, CEO of Galerie Living, and Gunter Wolfram, Director of AlexA Residence for Senior Citizens.

ItemPutin's Press: a Mixed-Methods Analysis of State Control over Russian Media Coverage & Framing of the Jan-Feb 2021 Protests(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021) Sanders, SofiaThis project will focus on the Russian media sphere, collecting news articles from various sources of Russian media and comparing their coverage of the January-February 2021 Russian protests to uncover the interrelationships between government control and Russian media groups, as well as the impacts of censorship at various levels of state media control. The project will utilize a mixed methods research design, using quantitative data analysis to identify trends in coverage of the protests by different media groups, as well as qualitative interviews conducted with Russian media actors to hear their experiences and perspectives on the impact of state control on the media sphere. Findings include that, for example, Russia Today, a state-controlled media group, employs very different frames for coverage, illustrating the protests much more negatively, than TV Rain, an independent media group.

ItemCurated Futures: Cultural Virtualization Efforts in Latin American Museology(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021) Turner, MichaelIn order to demonstrate a theoretical understanding of and hands-on experience with my primary research topics, I will take part in an internship with the Museum of Contemporary Art of Panama (MAC Panama) and complete a final research project consisting of a portfolio and reflective analysis of my work with the museum and on-going cultural virtualization efforts across Latin America. My research will focus on institutional changes in Latin American museology in regard to the rise of new media and interactive museography, as well as the adaptive needs thrust upon cultural centers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Latin America’s rich artistic history and globally recognized institutions make it an ideal case study, and likely leader, in the progression of the field moving forward. This project will build upon my cultural, educational, and professional background in media studies and institutional marketing, preparing me to re-enter my career track better equipped to engage with these same developments.

ItemExploring Japanese and American Cultures in the Context of the Workplace(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021) Baldwin, JoshuaFor my final project I will participate in an internship in Tokyo, Japan at a software company where I can gain experience in my field while learning about what it is like to work in Japan. Japanese culture differs from American culture in many regards, and I will do research about the aspects that are similar and dissimilar, and also conduct interviews with Japanese employees as well as international employees at my company and other software companies in order to hear their experiences with colliding cultures. I will also research specifically about the work culture of Japan and how it differs from America with respect to the concepts of lifetime employment, sābisu zangyō (service overtime work), and karōshi (death from overwork).
