Respondez! Vol. 24

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.
Letter from the Editor-in-Chief
Celebrating the work of the UT Honors Program has been my absolute pleasure. I wholeheartedly believe this is the best edition of Respondez! in the publication's history so far. Each one of the papers chosen showcases the brilliance of the UT Honors students.
Of course Respondez! would be nothing without the guidance of Dr. Gary Luter. Thank you for keeping this publication alive and on track.
I would also like to thank Jonna, Valeria, and Liz for their dedication. From selecting and editing papers to enduring my constant stream of emails these ladies put all they had into making this book the best it could be. I would also like to thank Kier Magoulas for designing our gorgeous cover, and copy editor Jesse Long for dotting our i's and crossing our t's.
Most pf all I would like to thank my Assistant Editor-in-Chief, Nicoletta Pappas. Without her drive and vision this year's publication might not have happened. Thank you for helping me breathe new life into this publication. Thank you also to last year's EIC, Max Davidoff, for believing in me enough to hand over his baby. Dr. David Reamer was also a huge help in the design process, and his assistance is much appreciated.
Although I did not have the pleasure of working with Anthony Quattrochi very long, I was very upset to hear of his passing. Anthony was part of this year's editorial board, and was extremely passionate about the honors program and publication. He offered many kind words of support to me personally at the start of the Fall semester, and i have striven to honor his passion for good writing and research with this edition.
Thank you to everyone who submitted work, and to all those who believe in our little book. Respondez! has a bright future ahead. As long as UT students continue to research and write, we will continue to honor their work.
Selene San Felice, Editor-in-Chief
