“Plentiful analysis examines self-branding, typically within the context of celebrities and influencers, who might have skilled self-presentation help. Little is understood about how on a regular basis individuals method self-branding and talk their private values, significantly by way of how individuals develop their private model story. The proposed work will study how individuals resolve what constitutes their private model, and what model tales to inform. Do they originate from broader cultural narratives, and show constant themes? This work might be carried out with Boise State MBA college students, who will establish their private values and develop a narrative that illustrates their corresponding private model.”

“Gender, sexuality, and faith all form society, however we regularly presume them to be in opposition. This analysis investigates LGBTQ+ historical past in Idaho, significantly on the intersections of LGBTQ+ expertise and Christianity. My experience in Gender Research and the historical past of Christianity permits me to offer an skilled voice to LGBTQ+ expertise and spiritual debates and points surrounding LGBTQ+ people’ contested presence, silence, activism, marginalization, and alternatives within the closely Christian intermountain West with sensitivity to all sides. By way of oral histories, interviews, and archival analysis into LGBTQ+ and church archives from all through Idaho, I’m uncovering the experiences of LGBTQ+ Christians who’ve formed Idaho’s progress and growth which, heretofore, have remained largely invisible. Contemplating present nationwide and state debates on LGBTQ+ points—significantly these centering on spiritual values—this well timed mission will contribute to a respectful, evidence-based dialogue, involving a number of factors of view to ‘spur engagement, understanding, and human connection,’ consistent with the Institute’s values.”
