PREFACE This journal gathers selected works presented at the 14 th annual Meeting of Minds conference, which took place on May 19, 2006, on the campus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn. This lively undergraduate forum showcased the research projects of students from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, the University of Michigan-Flint, and Oakland University. The projects captured here—an impressive array representing a wide range of disciplines and methods and topics—are the products of close collaboration between the students and their dedicated faculty mentors. Some projects were traditional academic ones, and some were creative presentations that are hard to capture in the pages of a journal but enriched the live conference with performance and the use of multi-media. Over 250 participants took part in the conference as both presenters and audience members. Presentations were grouped into themed sessions combining multiple disciplinary perspectives on related topics. This was an opportunity for students to see how different disciplines define and explore problems in uniquely productive ways, and to generate some speculation and communication across disciplinary boundaries. We know this was gratifying for students, because the post-presentation comments were thoughtful and provocative, and because so many of the presenters went on to refine their project reports for publication. Like the Meeting of Minds conference, this journal celebrates student research—from the inception of a project to the articulation of the findings for a larger audience, applying fresh rhetorical conventions and new insights gained in the aftermath of the conference. We warmly thank the faculty mentors on each campus for shepherding this process as well as the Meeting of Minds coordinators and support staff at the participating campuses. Special thanks are due to my colleagues, Kathleen Moore at Oakland University, Sally Conley and Andre Louis at UM-Flint, as well as to Sue Gedert and Sharie Beard at UM-Dearborn, who managed the conference registration process, planning, and logistics. Sue Gedert was also responsible for the editorial and technical production of the journal. We invite you to sample the work presented in the following pages. These papers are a window into an exciting undergraduate encounter with the rewards and demands of academic research and with the fruits of intellectual and creative inquiry. We hope you enjoy the results of our students’ efforts. — Sheryl Pearson Associate Dean College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters UM-Dearborn Meeting of Minds 2006 ii
