Graduate Thesis Collection
Collection of theses from 2010 and later
This database houses the graduate thesis work completed at all SCAD locations from fall 2010 forward. It is keyword searchable and includes both written and visual components, giving the user a broader understanding of both product (digitized studio work) and its underlying concept (the written thesis). The goal of the database is to provide both aspiring MFA candidates timely models of what a graduate thesis should address, and the larger public a sense of the richness of graduate work done at SCAD. Questions regarding this database should be directed to the Visual Resources Center (vrc@scad.edu)

The “feminization of poverty” is a phenomenon that affects every sector of Uganda’s society. The traditional cultural construct deprives women of their rights to develop into selfsustaining entrepreneurs. The past civil wars and AIDS have decimated a large portion of the population, leaving many destitute widows and children. As much as the current government of Uganda has made a significant effort in turning the war torn economy around, it is apparent that land ownership, as well as traditional expectations, continue to create an imbalance in the social construct of the culture. The majority of the women engage in sustainable enterprises such as basket weaving, mushroom growing and accessory product design by reusing waste materials and using eco-friendly farming methods. There is a marketable surplus of their products unfortunately; they have yet to find a market for them. This study, therefore, will illustrate the current welfare of Ugandan women, their unfortunate societal conditions influenced by gender inequality, as well as the untapped potential that they have as self-sustaining entrepreneurs. The research will also show that designing an effective distribution system will give the women the ability to market their products more effectively, thereby alleviating them from the vicious cycle of poverty.

The focus of this thesis is the American luxury goods buyer, and their openness toward a new luxury brand, Shang Xia, created by the French fashion house Hermés, operating from the Peoples' Republic of China. It covers the state of the luxury lifestyle sector in both China and the United States, and their interwoven evolution. This paper also profiles the brand’s American target markets, both primary and secondary, with information drawn from a primary research survey and interviews, and secondary research from books and articles. These findings come together to provide the background support sufficient to develop a comprehensive 15-piece Integrated Marketing Communication plan for Shang Xia North America - the culminating point.
