The goal of this infographic is to educate future/current male employees on how to proactively identify and address issues of sexism and sexual assault in the work setting. The infographic clearly states the problem, provides “Do/Don’ts”, highlights the importance of training and supporting victims, points to data/statistics, and offers additional resources. This infographic can be distributed online or posted in public settings.

The information in this infographic was so interesting to research and very fun to create. I am not a graphic design/artsy person so it was also fun exploring this area!

For my final project I aimed to provide as much information as I can in a way that engaged the readers enough to seek further knowledge about Queer equity in the workplace. My infographic makes use of QR codes in order for people to ensure that people who access physically or digitally can both have easy access to the outsides sources I incorporated into my work. Although I wanted to use all of the information from the sources I gathered in Unit 2, I made the decision based on the form of my writing, that I would section off the most important topics. Because of this I was able to be concise enough to arise concern and encourage further exploration in my target audience. The sources I linked in both the Bibliography and resources QR code serve as a gateway to learning more about LGBTQIA+ community individual and their lives in corporate America.

Final Project-Caitlin

I decided to make an infographic on mental health to try an raise awareness to the stigma regarding getting help for mental illnesses, especially for men. I thought that an infographic would be an ideal method to spread this information because the very nature of an infographic necessitates that the message is clear and concise, so it is more likely that more people will read it. To ensure more readers, I propose that this infographic be emailed to the entire Syracuse student population to properly address the target demographic.

My target audience for my project is male college students because I think that this information is very prevalent to this particular age group and can notify people about the topics of mental illnesses and where help is offered. By sending an email to everyone, we can at least know that all students had the opportunity to read about the options for help, either at Syracuse or anonymous hotlines.

I know a lot of people who struggle with mental health issues and I have seen my brother and a few of my guy friends struggle to acknowledge their suffering because of this stigma with asking for help. It is important for everyone to know that they are not alone and that help is an option. Even if an illness is not physical and visible to everyone, that does not mean that it is any less problematic and less deserving of aid.

Final Research Project – Sherri

I’ve written an article for business leaders who understand that they should have a solid diversity policy in place but don’t realize that those policies might miss the mark when it comes to their Black employees. These leaders might not know much about the history or current state of Black labor in the U.S. and may view D&I as just making sure there are a variety of different ethnicities at their company. They haven’t really thought much about inclusion and equity. I have endeavored to inform them of these issues. I envision readers will be checking out their online subscription to a business magazine that regularly offers insight into employee matters.

Final Project – Tim

The presentation of this final project will be in the forms of posters, easy to spot and easy to read for the student population and history faculty alike. The purpose of this project is to point out the current problem with the lack of diversity within the history department as well as history curriculum as a whole, and through an infographic I wish to spread this information as well as a possible solution.

I created my project in hopes of making something that would be easy to convey to college students as well as be informative. I wanted to make something that would stick with this audience and they best way I could think of was through Kahoot. I know several of my professors used in to make sure the class was being attentive last year so I thought it would be a platform a lot of students would already be familiar with. I included my sources in the description of the Kahoot since I was not able to link it into the actual questions they each relate to since Kahoot has a character limit. I think this Kahoot can really help college students since we are transitioning from high school where most of this is not really spoken about, which means it is the perfect time to prepare us for life after college by teaching us about these important and necessary aspects of life.

Final Project

aiinhr.wordpress.com

I created the AI in HR Resource Center to start a community for people interested in learning more about the technology issues that are disrupting HR and to inspire more transparency and accountability from the organizations that are building or using the technology. Since I couldn’t find a resource site like this, I thought why not create one?

My target audience includes people concerned with protecting worker and civil rights, including the workers themselves, but more specifically individuals who have some authority to make change, such as disability rights activists, social justice activists, legislators, scholars, journalists, and people working in employment law. My audience also includes business and human resource leaders, developers of AI for HR technologies, and others interested in improving their products and practices.

A blog seemed like a perfect genre for the audiences I am trying to reach because I can use it to stimulate a discussion about the ways that many current AI technologies perpetuate bias and the things we can do to prevent that from happening in the future. My thinking was that the best technology solutions for HR will arise if different points of view get a chance to make their case. I was striving for a writing tone that was readable and not academic, and I am happy with how it turned out.

Final Project-Invisible Disabilities-Ed

For this project, I creating a memo targeted at Syracuse University advisors although it would be applicable for any college. These advisors work with college students that have invisible disabilities. For example, when a student enters the university and they have a documented disability the student works with The Center for Disability Resources (CDR), formerly known as the Office of Disability Service’s (ODS).

The mission of the Center is to engage the University Community to empower students, enhance equity and provide a platform for innovation and inclusion. This group supports students in the classroom by providing individual accommodations when environmental barriers cannot be eliminated as well as assistive technology.

The target reader would be an individual who works in this Center and perhaps shared with students as they are contemplating disclosure of invisible disabilities. Since it also contains information on support services, the memo could be utilized as information for students directly.

My delivery would be in a memo delivered via e-mail. It could also be included in a monthly newsletter if that exists in the department.

This could even be part of an introductory package for new employees of the department to familiarize them with information but to allow them to see the human side of the disability with Ally’s story. I think she helps bring the challenges of an invisible disability clearly in focus to the reader.

For this project, I ended up creating an article that would be more of a newspaper (online) article, targeted for college students. If there was a national college student newspaper outlet, this is most likely where it would be found. It could also be found in college-run newspaper services like the Daily Orange.

The target reader would hopefully be a college student who is interested in learning more about different subjects. It would not be directed towards people that are completely educated on the subject of underrepresentation in the workforce (though I doubt many are), rather someone who is interested in learning more about the world and how to make it a better place. They would enjoy reading in their free time.

As stated earlier, my mode of delivery would be in a newspaper. However, I would like to clarify that it would most likely also be published in an online news source. I believe that this is the most efficient and effective way to get news, as not many college students want to read things on paper. Some may think that it is not environmentally friendly, while others would just prefer to read something digitally. We live in a society where we electronics run our lives, so publishing my article on an online news source would be the most effective.

My ideal scenario would be a college student who wakes up to read the newspaper/news in the morning with their breakfast. I personally like to do this and find it the best time to think through issues in the world, or major events happening. It is also a great time to read through informational articles as well., such as my project, because it gets you thinking that you can be the change in the world.

Understanding-Intersectionality-Avoiding-BiasDownload
Unit-3-Final-Project-BibliographyDownload

For my final project, I created an infographic poster about understanding intersectionality, thinking intersectionality, and avoiding bias. Again, my key audience would be young adults or college students.

The perfect scenario where my work would be seen would be in an elevator going to class or waiting in a hallway, where students actually have the time to read something and engage with it. Although intersectionality and bias are such important subjects that do not just deserve to be delivered on a poster, I realized it would be an excellent start when it comes to educating. So many peers are not fully aware of intersectionality’s implications, and if my poster could help some further their thinking and knowledge, I believe I did my job correctly.

Not only did I display information and graphics, but a QR code and more sources for students to look up to learn more information. Thanks to Julia and Edward’s advice, this QR code allows students to go to a website called “Bias Hurts,” which involves real accounts from oppressed people engaging in a real-life conversation. I felt that this was very effective to include, and I hope that you do too.
