| Vijaya Tamla Rai: Gender, Childhood Adversity, and Health Risk Behaviors Among U.S. Adults Abstract: Gender differences in childhood adversity do not necessarily map onto gender differences in adult health behaviors. Using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) adverse childhood experience (ACE) 2019-2020 data across 36 states and the District of Columbia, I examine how gender moderates the association between childhood adversity and adult health behaviors (i.e., smoking, binge drinking, and obesity). Reggie Wynn: Hip-Hop, You Don’t Stop…or Do You? Analyzing the Perceived Changes in Individual Relationships with Hip-Hop Culture Abstract: Since its purported inception at a basement party on August 11, 1973, in the South Bronx, hip-hop has become a subculture with a large following that has spread throughout the world. This project examines how hip-hop aficionados perceive their changing relationship with hip-hop culture through a qualitative study on the Milwaukee-based mixtape collective Centripetal Dynamics, a group composed of DJs, producers, and hip-hop enthusiasts who witnessed hip-hop from its beginnings. |
