Decline And Fall? The Institutional History Of Post-Imperial Western Europe, Ad 400-800, Ryan David Mcdaniel
Decline And Fall? The Institutional History Of Post-Imperial Western Europe, Ad 400-800, Ryan David Mcdaniel
History ETDs
Over the course of the fifth to ninth centuries, the Roman Empire gave way in western Europe to several kingdoms initially founded by so-called 'barbarian' tribes. This thesis is a thematic assessment of the evolutionary trends that shaped this period. It respects and integrates the highly interconnected nature of these themes (politics and social structures, for instance). It is driven by a desire for synthesis, and in particular a desire to reconcile the economic arguments of Chris Wickham and Walter Goffart with the more political histories of Peter Heather and Guy Halsall. The institutions that define the early medieval era--localized, …
Legacy Of Betrayal: A Trans-Atlantic Comparison Of The Cherokee Removal And The Highland Clearances, Lisa Brown
Legacy Of Betrayal: A Trans-Atlantic Comparison Of The Cherokee Removal And The Highland Clearances, Lisa Brown
History ETDs
In my work I offer a comparative study of the removal experiences of the Cherokees of Georgia and the Sutherland Gaels in the Highlands of Scotland. Examining the effects of colonialism and cultural imperialism on indigenous populations, the following examines the ways in these peoples mediated their colonial experiences through their own cultural mores, how the removals were carried out, and the resultant impact on these indigenes. The following focuses largely on the role of acculturation, or assimilation, of the elite into the colonizing societys values and life ways, and how this led to a growing distance between the chiefs …
Capital Mediators: American Mining Engineers In The U.S. Southwest And Mexico, 1850-1914, Sarah E.M. Grossman
Capital Mediators: American Mining Engineers In The U.S. Southwest And Mexico, 1850-1914, Sarah E.M. Grossman
History ETDs
This dissertation analyzes the technical work and social milieu of American mining engineers to understand the daily negotiations by which private U.S. capital reached up to and across the southwestern border as part of an ongoing project of American territorial and economic expansion. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, American mining engineers traveled all over the world as expert consultants and labor managers. The business negotiations, elite social networks, and gendered discourse of expertise' invoked by these technocratic professionals were critical influences in bringing the hard-rock mining districts of North America into the economic system of the United …

Political Mavens: Ruth Underhill, Erminie Wheeler-Voegelin, Gene Weltfish, Ella Deloria, And The Politics Of Culture, Alessandra Link
History ETDs
The locus of this masters thesis, 'Political Mavens: Ruth Underhill, Erminie Wheeler-Voegelin, Gene Weltfish, Ella Deloria, and the Politics of Culture,' centers on how female anthropologists shaped political discourses in the twentieth century. The anthropologist has long been considered the handmaiden of imperialism, made most apparent in Vine Deloria's Custer Died for Your Sins (1969). Although partially true, my work seeks to complicate this association by examining how the publications and careers of four female anthropologists demonstrate both their ties to colonialism, and, in the case of Gene Weltfish and Ella Deloria, their scholarly attempts to critique the colonialist state …

The German Model For American Medical Reform, Charles E. Mcclelland

The Flexner Report of 1910, which radically transformed American medical education and medical schools, may be seen not so much as a completely novel initiative as the culmination of a longer transfer of models from Germany, with which Flexner was intimately acquainted.

Sanz del Rio's fame as a founder of the Spanish philosophical-moral movement Krausismo -- although buried by the Franco regime -- has been rehabilitated somewhat recently. But Sanz' grasp of what was in any case a relatively obscure and minor German philosophical cult may have been far less important than his lengthy personal stay in Heidelberg and the friendships he established there, notably with the historian G.G. Gervinus.
