Two East Stroudsburg University political science majors and honor students, Montserrat Ramirez-Figueroa of Bloomingdale, N.J. and Alexandra Kossakowska of East Stroudsburg, Pa., presented their research at the Northeastern Political Science Association\u2019s 55th<\/sup> annual meeting held in Boston, Mass. The Conference took place at the Omni Parker Hotel from November 2-4.<\/p>\n

The Northeastern Political Science Association is one of the leading regional professional organizations in the United States for the study of politics. Every year, at its Annual Conference, the NPSA brings together hundreds of political scientists from all fields of study and from all parts of the United States and the world for the purpose of enhancing and expanding their knowledge of politics.<\/p>\n

Kossakowska\u2019s research was entitled \u201cNewly Elected Female Senators in the 116th Congress: A Comparison of Policy Preferences\u201d and examined the political priorities of the five female senators newly elected in 2018. The findings indicate that their political preferences centered around issues pertaining to children, education, and healthcare.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very exciting to present a paper that I worked hard on the entire semester,\u201d said Kossakowska. \u201cThe input and critiques I received will help strengthen the paper. It was also amazing to see other undergraduates presenting their research and learning from them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramirez- Figueroa\u2019s research paper, “An Examination of Shackling Practices during Childbirth,” focuses on how political, socioeconomic, racial, and ethical disparities tie into the practice of shackling pregnant women in state and federal prisons throughout the United States.\u00a0The initial findings show that racial and socioeconomic disparities leave a greater group of women more susceptible to the use of shackles before, during, and after childbirth.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to present my senior thesis at a well-known conference was both rewarding and educational,\u201d said Ramirez- Figueroa. \u201cThe feedback that I received from the chair of the panel will help strengthen my paper and its overall impact. It was also great to hear from other panelists whose research focused on women\u2019s issues in politics and policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimberly S. Adams, Ph.D., professor of political science at ESU, supervised their research. She is a member of Northeastern Political Science Association\u2019s general council.<\/p>\n
