Cultural Affairs Distinguished Lecture Series
Jon Imber's Left Hand documents the life of a local artist suffering from ALS, which eventually led to his death this past year. As a review in the Boston Globe described, "Produced and directed by Richard Kane, the film is generously sprinkled with images from all the different phases of Imber's consistently impressive career. A protege of the New York painter Philip Guston, he created early work that included monumental figure paintings of great tenderness and originality; his later work became increasingly abstracted, loosely brushed, and open - influenced both by Willem de Kooning and the Maine landscape he loved, …

Mapping Indigenous Self-Determination In Highland Guatemala, 2015 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Mapping Indigenous Self-Determination In Highland Guatemala, Patricia A. Mcanany, Sarah M. Rowe, Israel Quic Cholotio, Evelyn Caniz Menchu, Jose Mendoza Quic
Anthropology Faculty Publications and Presentations
The challenges of building research partnerships around community mapping are critically reviewed in reference to the politics of heritage and identity among Indigenous Maya communities in highland Guatemala. This paper discusses how the goals and interests of archaeologists meshed with those of indigenous mappers in five communities that chose to participate in the mapping program. Based on responses to a survey about the mapping project, participants report joining in order to enhance self-determination, gain cartographic literacy, and improve life opportunities. Community authority over the project and a broad base of participation (including young and old, male and female) proved essential …
Teaching Tolkien: Language, Scholarship, And Creativity, 2015 Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy
Teaching Tolkien: Language, Scholarship, And Creativity, Adam Kotlarczyk
Faculty Publications & Research
Why Tolkien?
Let us start with the obvious—if cynical—question, almost certain to come from a skeptical administrator or colleague: why would any serious, self-respecting English teacher want to teach an author whose work is about dragons, fairies, and the fantastic? With all the increased attention to standardized testing and with the demand for rigor in read- ings in the average English curriculum, choosing a popular text might raise eyebrows among critics. The question that an English teacher may be asked (or indeed, may ask him- or herself) is: doesn't teaching Tolkien as "serious" literature just fan those flames?
From Present To Past: Contextualizing The Sonnet, 2015 Illinois Math and Science Academy
From Present To Past: Contextualizing The Sonnet, Nicole Trackman
Understanding Poetry
Students will learn the components of a Shakespearean sonnet by looking at the intentions and figurative language of modern music and tracing it back to Spenser’s blazon “Sonnet XV” and Shakespeare’s response in “Sonnet 130”. This lesson allows multiple entry points into the language, content and form of Shakespeare’s sonnets. This lesson can be used at the beginning of a unit on Shakespeare, Renaissance poetry, or sonnets.
The Annotated Mariner: Reading And Writing In The Margins, 2015 Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy
The Annotated Mariner: Reading And Writing In The Margins, Michael W. Hancock
Understanding Poetry
This activity, which incorporates students’ imaginative writing, uses Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s 1817 annotations to his Rime of the Ancient Mariner as a model for literary response and interpretation. Through guided discussion, students will first examine selected marginalia from Coleridge’s poem as an attempt to read the narrative through a particular interpretive lens. Afterwards, working in pairs or groups, students write their own glosses to the poem from the perspective and in the voice of assigned figures. By exploring Coleridge’s glosses and comparing their own, students will see how readers’ backgrounds shape reading and understanding of a literary text.
Booker T. Washington And W.E.B. Du Bois: Guiding Students To Historical Context, 2015 Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy
Booker T. Washington And W.E.B. Du Bois: Guiding Students To Historical Context, Adam Kotlarczyk
Other Voices
Seldom have two vastly different visions been expressed as clearly and as elegantly as in Booker T. Washington’s Atlanta Exposition Address (1895) and W.E.B. Du Bois’s “Of Mr. Booker T. Washington and Others” (from The Souls of Black Folk, 1903). Awash in memorable rhetoric, these competing philosophies foresaw very different paths for America, and for black social progress, at the dawn of the twentieth century.
This lesson introduces students to the ideas and informational texts of Washington and DuBois while challenging students to research some of the historical context in which these men lived, worked, and thought.
Woodrow Wilson The "Possessive" And Political Historian: Discovering An Identification With The American Founding, 2015 University of Puget Sound
Woodrow Wilson The "Possessive" And Political Historian: Discovering An Identification With The American Founding, Alex Plant
History Theses
Before Woodrow Wilson became President of the United States he was a prolific writer of political science and history. While his political science works have received much attention from political scientists and historians alike, his historical endeavors have been criticized for their literary style, lack of primary research, as well as their failure to contribute anything new to the realm of historiography. As a result, Wilson's five volume history of the United States, History of the American People, and his biography, George Washington, have been labeled as "bad history" and remain an unexplored area of Wilsonian scholarship. An examination of …

Foreword to On Divestment
The writings collected here are an online supplement to a class zine title On Divestment. The zine and online archive were conceived, written, and designed by the members of the Spring 2015 Literature and Environment course (ENGL 374) at the University of Puget Sound. Considerations of timeliness and sustainability encouraged us to keep the size of the printed zine compact by including only excerpts of each author’s work; the zine is in a sense an advertisement for the more substantial body of writing that you find here on Sound Ideas, which reproduces student creative work …
