Transients, Hunter Rose Johnson
Transients, Hunter Rose Johnson
Honors Theses
My exhibition Transients is an attempt to embrace the process of growth and decay that comes with being human while at the same time showing the beauty in temporary things. Each piece in Transients is a battery-powered lightbox containing a translucent image with light shining through it. The process of making the pieces was a complicated and meticulous method of paper cutting. The combination of the difficult process and the translucence of the products reflects the difficulties and impermanence of life.

Tigers, Flies, And Longines: The Chinese Corruption Crackdown And Its Effect On Conspicuous Consumption, Kayla Smith
Honors Theses
Through the analysis of Elle China magazine articles and annual financial reports, the researcher sought to find if the 2012 Xi Jinping campaign against corruption, extravagance and graft had an effect on luxury sales. The researcher has found that the campaign has little to no effect on the luxury consumption preferences of the upper and middle class in China, only effecting officials and luxury purchases made for gifting.

This Clinic Stays Open: A Comprehensive History Of Reproductive Rights In Mississippi, 1966-2015., Alicia Bacon
Honors Theses
In 1966, Mississippi became the first state to reform its criminal abortion laws when it legalized abortion in the case of rape. From the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973 to 1986, Mississippi experienced a rapid and dramatic expansion of abortion services and the practice remained relatively unrestricted. Today, Mississippi boasts some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation and only one clinic remains open in the state. Through analysis of newspaper clippings, legislative documents, court rulings, and statistical analyses, this thesis discerns how and when reproductive rights came to be so threatened in Mississippi. The findings show …
War Chiefs And Generals: The Transformation Of Warfare In The Eastern Woodlands, Dalton Capps
War Chiefs And Generals: The Transformation Of Warfare In The Eastern Woodlands, Dalton Capps
Honors Theses
In this thesis, I examine how military strategies and tactics of Native Americans and Euro Americans changed over time after they came into contact with each other in the Eastern Woodlands. I accomplish this goal by covering in detail three conflicts: Hernando De Soto's expedition into the Southeastern United States, King Philip's War, and the Northwest Indian War. By using these three conflicts, I examine this transformation from both a temporal and spatial perspective. I approach this point of inquiry by using a variety of primary and secondary sources. The secondary sources come from a variety of fields, but mainly …
Economic Enchantment In Eudora Welty's A Curtain Of Green, Elizabeth Moore
Economic Enchantment In Eudora Welty's A Curtain Of Green, Elizabeth Moore
Honors Theses
This thesis analyzes Eudora Welty's short story collection, A Curtain of Green, and the interactions between its characters and the Mississippi economy.

Additionally, this thesis uses Welty's terminology when describing her experience of shopping as a child, specifically the enchantment of goods. This material is used to argue that Eudora Welty does address economic elements in her early short stories. Furthermore, this collection demonstrates a difference between gender participation in the economy, particularly among salesmen and female …
