What is Science?

Science is one of the broadest and most foundational subjects in academic writing, spanning disciplines from biology and physics to psychology, history, and philosophy. Students encounter science-related writing assignments across general education courses, specialized STEM programs, and humanities classes that examine how scientific thinking intersects with culture, religion, and society. What makes science academically compelling is its dual role as both a body of knowledge and a method of inquiry — a process through which humans build understanding of the natural and social world. Papers in this area frequently engage with questions about technology and responsibility, the relationship between science and religion, and the social implications of scientific advancement.

The papers collected here reflect a wide range of approaches. Some take an evaluative angle, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of science and technology or examining how scientific progress affects cultural beliefs and values. Others focus on specific applications, such as DNA profiling, geoinformatics, or celestial navigation. Historical and contextual analyses appear as well, including work on the Italian Renaissance as a period of scientific transformation. Certain papers move into adjacent fields like criminal psychopathology and classic social psychology experiments, showing how scientific frameworks shape disciplines beyond the hard sciences.

A strong essay on science succeeds by narrowing its scope to a clear, arguable thesis rather than attempting to survey the entire field. Evidence drawn from specific processes, case studies, or established theories tends to carry more weight than broad generalizations. The most common pitfall is conflating description with analysis — simply explaining what science is rather than arguing why a particular aspect of it matters, how it functions, or what consequences it produces.

Accessibility and Declining Patronage in the Performing Arts

This study attempts to address the recent decline in arts patronage with an eye towards its underlying factors. While recent research has focused on the mix of economic pressures which have resulted in decreased funding for the arts, this research has frequently failed to investigate the attitudes and perceptions which inform these economic decisions. In order to bridge this critical lacuna, this study examines the different barriers to participation in the arts and determines that the recent decline is the result of practical and perceptual barriers to participation that engage in a vicious cycle wherein misinformed attitudes towards art precipitate decreased public and private support, which then serves perpetuate these attitudes. Stepping outside this cycle in order to reverse the decline requires an honest assessment of art's benefits and which benefits should be included when making appeals for greater patronage and support.

China's One-Child Policy: Social and Economic Impacts

Economic reform has brought many changes to China's rural economy in the past two decades, as reflected in a combination of rapid economic growth, rural industrialization, structural change, and sharp reductions in fertility. This dissertation evaluates the possible consequences of these changes on women's labor force participation. The first essay explores the impact of China's "one-child policy" on female work patterns through its possible effects on fertility. Early studies that took fertility behavior to be exogenous to female labor supply tended to find that fertility has a negative impact on female labor supply.
