Respondez! Vol. 20

Abstract

Respondez! (1992-2015) became Respond, starting with the 2016 issue. Respondez! is a poem written by Walt Whitman in 1871 as a call to action. The Respond staff interprets Whitman’s poem as a call for new, emerging ideas to be brought fourth and challenged. The journal embodies Walt Whitman’s poem by aiming to publish informative research that challenges mainstream assumptions.
From The Editor-In-Chief
I was extremely humbled to serve as the year's Editor-In-Chief of Respondez!. I had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful people over the course of the year, and they all deserve a huge thank you! To my editorial board: you all show immense devotion to this publication and made those long hours of editing enjoyable and fun. Thank you all for working so hard and diligently to make this year's publication one of the best yet.
I would also like to thank Dr. Luter who was always there when I needed assistance with anything and was extremely supportive in getting the word out for submissions. Without him, this publication would not be possible. I know we are both proud of this year's Respondez!
Finally, I would like to thank everyone who submitted. As a second year editorial board member I can safely say choosing papers this year was beyond difficult, because we loved so many of them! I was truly a privilege to read everyone's papers, and I hope you all continue to contribute in the future.
I hope that this year's edition of Respondez! will inspire new conversations among students and faculty alike and ignite questions to spark interest on a variety of topics.
Please enjoy Respondez ! 2011.
Sincerely, Dory Estrada Editor-In-Chief
