Millennials make up the largest segment of the workforce today and it is estimated that by 2025, 75% of the global workforce will comprise this emerging generation (Fry, 2018). In this current study, I examine the career attitudes of Latinx and Asian American Millennial and Gen Z college students to understand better how their unique college experiences- shaped by their familial, cultural, and personal backgrounds – can inform how they imagine their post-college trajectory. Specifically, I explore to what extent these sociocultural influences impact MilleniGenZ's interest and attainment in leadership roles within their future careers. Two sets of surveys were administered. A 184-question survey was administered to college students in Southern California in 2017 (N=936), and in 2020, an updated 211-question survey was administered (N=742). The findings show the importance of providing better career resources (e.g., workshops, mentorship, networking opportunities) for MilleniGenZ during college, which will ease their transition into the workforce and potential leadership roles. The findings of the current study contribute to the existing literature by unpacking how complex sociocultural factors intersect to influence Latinx and Asian American college students' career attitudes. Based on our findings, institutions, and organizations should incorporate diversity and inclusion considerations into the career planning process to support individuals in overcoming systemic barriers.

The driving force behind this thesis is an examination of how bodily experience can be documented as artistic performance and what written documentation can invariably omit when it comes to queer experience. Drawing from archival research, as well as discourses in art history, performance studies, and queer theory, Cassils's 2017 project PISSED captured and displayed raw material in non-representational objects to make visible the very real experiences a body must endure under discriminatory political legislation. Following threads of performance studies, this thesis examines how Cassils's incorporation of performance documentation across several mediums propelled a re-mounting and invariably transformed the capacity for delegated performance. I ask: what does it take to produce an empathic narrative and inclusive index of queer/LGBTQI+ experience through visual form.

Book Review

This commentary poses the question of the human by asking how the "human" of crimes against humanity relates to the "human" of the humanities. It does so by first considering Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem (1961) as a text that establishes the representational aporias of banality and ineffability raised by crimes against humanity, not just through its analytical content but also through the use of literary form. The commentary then offers a close reading of two novels, Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day (1989) and Ian McEwan's Atonement (2001), tracking the ways their "literary jurisprudence," or engagement with problems of judgment, emerge from the representational cruxes located by Arendt. Rather than read these literary texts as desirable substitutes for legal forms, or as providing ways out of legal aporias, I argue that their literary jurisprudences reveal the challenges of facing the afterlife of judgment, particularly for a humanity left in the wake of ambiguous forms of condemnation and restitution.
