- GMA 400 - Senior Seminar Research and The cruise industry has become of the most widely known and recognized forms of vacation for the modern world. The contemporary structure of this industry has allowed for the procurement and employment of thousands of individuals from almost every single region of the world, making the crew that are found on board cruise ships extremely diverse regarding ethnicity, culture, and language. Multicultural crews of cruise ships possess an interesting dynamic as they sit at the intersection of hospitality, travel, and seafaring. This thesis will explore the dynamics, challenges, and benefits of migrant cruise ship workers by looking at specific ethnicities that are abundant onboard cruise ships. Next, this thesis will explore the nature of how these migrant workers come to work on aboard cruise ships through the Flags of Convenience system and the globalized labor market. Finally, we will explore to what extent the cruise ship workplace hierarchy is derived from the colonial and imperialistic practices of the past.

- GMA 400 - Senior Seminar Research and A thesis that analyzes United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in the contemporary world. Furthermore, this work seeks to expand multiple definitions, such as statelessness and the term refugee, delineated explicitly by the United Nations. This thesis argues that the United Nations needs to acknowledge and recognize those at risk of disappearing caused by sea level rise, known in this work as “sea level refugees,” in their definitions. Sea level rise sets itself apart from other environmental consequences of climate change as it presents a significant number of unique issues in the maritime world. Multiple case studies of coastal nations like Kiribati, Tuvalu, and Kivalina (an Alaskan village) are used in this work as examples of countries at risk of disappearing. It is vital that the international community create the appropriate policies regarding stateless nations in UNCLOS to recognize and provide those affected by the sea with proper asylum.
