Latin American Identities And The American Demonym, Maia S. Schofield
Latin American Identities And The American Demonym, Maia S. Schofield
Undergraduate Distinction Papers
Current literature addresses the question of Latin American identity largely in terms of assimilation, language proficiency, generation of immigrant, and political participation, while the American demonym remains an understudied topic. ‘America’ has been popularized in its usage to refer only to the United States and ‘American’ to its nationals. Although Latin Americans are natives of the Americas, they are rarely considered ‘American’. This study examines factors that influence the identity of Latin Americans living in the United States and focuses primarily on the connection between identity and the understanding of ‘America’. To examine this relationship, a questionnaire, offered in Spanish …

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
Forgotten Things: A Historian’s Tale is a story of a post-human world where magic and creatures of lore have taken sovereignty over the land, following the adventures of Aster, a small flower elf whose job is to travel and document the residual traces of humanity.

The Mother Of All Mysteries: How Mothers Are Disavowed And Undermined In Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940), Juli Lindenmayer
The Mother Of All Mysteries: How Mothers Are Disavowed And Undermined In Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940), Juli Lindenmayer
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
This thesis explores how Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca (1940) depicts inadequate and detrimental examples of mother-figures in cinema through the characters Mrs. Danvers and Rebecca. While Mrs. Danvers’ oppressive control over the Manderley manor and her hardened demeanor towards the second Mrs. De Winter mark her as a sadistic mother-figure, Rebecca’s promiscuity, narcissism, and lack of empathy reflect the traits of a self-indulgent mother-figure who puts her needs first. Both expressions of motherhood serve to perpetuate the disavowal of mothers in film. This negative characterization serves to exemplify the long-held tradition of mothering as a source of trouble, which is largely …

Between September and November 2020, interviews were conducted with Orthodox Christian immigrant women from Eastern Europe and Orthodox Christian women born in the U.S. Questions covered the perceptions of women’s healthcare, factors influencing …

Tackling The Taboo: A Cross-Generational Study Of The Adams-Smith Family And Their Moral Struggle With Alcoholism, Erin Van Gilder
Tackling The Taboo: A Cross-Generational Study Of The Adams-Smith Family And Their Moral Struggle With Alcoholism, Erin Van Gilder
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
This thesis examines how the American perception of drunkenness changed in accordance with transformations in the tenants of virtue in the 18th and 19th centuries. As the definition and influence of virtue became more interpretive and circumstantial, so did attitudes towards habitual drunkenness. Before the American Revolution, the overconsumption of alcohol was condemned, as it was a clear deviation from classic conceptions of civic and religious virtue. After the Revolution, an individualized interpretation of virtue became popular and alcohol consumption rose dramatically. In the early 19th century, increasing self-interest meant less condemnation directed at the habitual drunkard. At the …
