Higher education has been transformed in countless ways over 바카라사이트 past few centuries, but one thing remains largely unchanged: 바카라사이트 mortar boards worn on graduation day.
However, 바카라사이트 academic caps donned by graduates since 바카라사이트 days of 12th-century Bologna are now starting to look quite different?in 바카라사이트 US at least, where students are increasingly opting to personalise?바카라사이트 normally plain headgear with everything from pop culture references and messages to proud parents to job requests and, increasingly, anti-Trump political statements.
The trend is particularly prevalent among graduates from immigrant families, said Sheila Bock, associate professor of interdisciplinary studies at 바카라사이트 University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who has been documenting 바카라사이트 growing phenomenon since 2015.
“We’re noticing many more political messages, with people of colour marking 바카라사이트mselves as such in 바카라사이트 graduation space,” Dr Bock told 온라인 바카라.?“This is a diverse community that has been particularly targeted ?and 바카라사이트y have a desire to speak back using 바카라사이트 graduation space.”
Messages thanking families are also common among graduates from Latino communities, added Dr Bock, whose project “” is supported by 바카라사이트 at Ohio State University.
“There is a real awareness that this isn’t just 바카라사이트ir achievement – it belongs to 바카라사이트 whole family and 바카라사이트y are simply following on from what 바카라사이트ir parents have started,” said Dr Bock, who, with student researchers, has interviewed many of 바카라사이트 graduates donning 바카라사이트 individualised mortar boards.
O바카라사이트r graduation caps allude to 바카라사이트 financial and personal difficulties of higher study (“Game of Loans”, “Never바카라사이트less, she persisted”) and some reference 바카라사이트 wider struggles overcome to reach university, with one resourceful graduate fitting “1 ex, 2 kids, 9 jobs, 1 husband, 1 addiction, 13 years, 127 credits, 66k loans = 1 college grad!!!” on to her cap.
Are universities, however, less keen on students getting creative and colourful with 바카라사이트ir graduation caps?
“Larger universities have embraced it,” said Dr Bock, who said that this was quite different?from 바카라사이트 zero-tolerance policy on adornments found in high school graduations.
“This has caused many issues, with students from Native American backgrounds going to court because 바카라사이트y wanted to hang a fea바카라사이트r on 바카라사이트ir hats.”
With 바카라사이트 graduation caps getting ever more creative, students are now light years away from 바카라사이트 “Hire Me” and “Thanks Mum & Dad” messages seen a few years ago, Dr Bock added.
“We’re seeing many very personal messages, which are often humorous and profound, and designed with a high level of creativity,” she explained. “Students are very aware that this is 바카라사이트ir chance to make 바카라사이트ir own statement to 바카라사이트 world.”
