SUMMARY:Faculty Research Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join Miranda Yaver\, Assistant Professor of Political Science n for an upcoming Faculty Research Talk\, Damages Denied: The Impact of ERISA’s Statutory Design on Patients’ Access to Health Care. \nPresenters will begin by discussing their topic\, and each session will close with a question and answer segment. All presentations are virtual and free and the Zoom link will be sent the day before this discussion. \nDespite being written primarily as a pension law\, the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 has come to apply to the majority of employer-sponsored health plans in the United States. However\, despite its health care salience\, it has a key statutory design feature that limits patients’ ability to access their prescribed care: it precludes damages recovery for those who have been denied health coverage\, an insurance practice that is pervasive and increasing. The absence of litigation incentives creates perverse incentives for insurers because it makes it all the more unlikely that patients will be able to obtain legal representation\, such that insurers may deny with impunity. Drawing on extant literature on path dependence and on ERISA’s history and implementation\, legislative history\, and interviews with key congressional staffers\, this paper evaluates this statutory design’s persistence across moments of health care reform including the Patients’ Bill of Rights and the Affordable Care Act\, and the ways in which this can not only limit patients’ rights upon a coverage denial but exacerbates inequities in the American health care system and reduces health insurer accountability in a manner that can perpetuate the denials themselves. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Faculty Research Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join Leanna Lawter\, Associate Professor of Business & Management for an upcoming Faculty Research Talk\, Effectiveness of Flipped Classroom Format in Quantitative and Non-Quantitative Business Courses – A Meta-Analysis. \nPresenters will begin by discussing their topic\, and each session will close with a question and answer segment. All presentations are virtual and free and the Zoom link will be sent the day before this discussion. \nThe current meta-analysis investigates two student outcomes of the flipped or inverted classroom format in quantitative and non-quantitative business courses: knowledge acquisition and satisfaction. Data was collected through a search of nine databases to identify empirical studies which compared student outcomes in flipped classrooms to lecture classrooms. A total of 35 studies were identified for inclusion in the study. Results show that flipped format had a positive effect on knowledge acquisition for both quantitative and non-quantitative courses as compared to lecture courses. The impact in non-quantitative courses on knowledge acquisition was larger than the effect in quantitative courses\, but was not statistically significant. Student satisfaction in flipped classrooms as compared to lecture classes was higher in quantitative courses\, but not statistically significant. The implications for business education is to not use flipped classroom approach as a universal format for instruction but in courses where students benefit from self-directed learning and the increased workload for students merits the gains in learning. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Faculty Research Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join Kathy Morgan\, Associate Professor of Psychology for an upcoming Faculty Research Talk\, Healing Dakota: A Story of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Working Dogs. \nPresenters will begin by discussing their topic\, and each session will close with a question and answer segment. All presentations are virtual and free and the Zoom link will be sent the day before this discussion. \nAn estimated 50\,000 working dogs are deployed in law enforcement in the US\, most of whom are routinely exposed to dangerous and stressful conditions as a daily part of their jobs. Just as with humans\, some individuals are resilient in the face of such stress\, but others are not so fortunate\, and become so overwhelmed by anxiety that they become dangerous and no longer deployable. In this talk\, I will talk about recognizing signs of stress in dogs\, and reading dog behaviors that can sometimes be quite subtle\, but whose understanding can help prevent canine aggression. Using K9 Officer Dakota and his story as a case study\, I will also present a brief history of dogs in law enforcement\, and talk about my work and the work of Wheaton College students at the K9 PTSD Center in Seekonk\, a nonprofit dedicated to the rehabilitation of law enforcement working dogs with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of their time in service. \nRegister
