(Dis)Abled Gaming: An Autoethnographic Analysis Of Decreasing Accessibility For Disabled Gamers, Kyle David Romano
(Dis)Abled Gaming: An Autoethnographic Analysis Of Decreasing Accessibility For Disabled Gamers, Kyle David Romano
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Within the context of culture, disability has long existed as a stigmatizing quality (Goffman, 1963). As a result, people with disabilities are often overlooked or completely omitted from various, cultural artifacts. This exclusion of people with disabilities is largely recognized as unproblematic because their disabilities imply an inevitable failing. Through my own experiences as a disabled gamer, I have recognized that video games have also framed gamers with disabilities as problematic. Video games are largely constructed in a one-size-fits-all mentality (Grammenos, 2014), where very specific people, with very specific kinds of bodies, are granted access to play them. Since disabled …
Venerating Violence: The Liberation Tigers Of Tamil Eelam And Post-Civil War Sri Lanka, Heather Lee
Venerating Violence: The Liberation Tigers Of Tamil Eelam And Post-Civil War Sri Lanka, Heather Lee
USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)
This thesis seeks to discover the conditions legitimizing political violence by exploring the Sri Lankan Civil War and then pairing the derived principle with theoretical justifications of violence, including just war theory. While many attest that the radically violent means employed by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam throughout the war were immoral and inexcusable acts of terrorism, this claim too quickly discredits their motives without due consideration, thus unfairly detractingfrom the legitimacy of their cause. I hope to show the fault in this tendency, both in the context of the Sri Lanka and in more general terms. Political violence …
Assessing The Impact Of Untreated Sewage On The Coral Reef System Off The Coast Of Caye Caulker, Belize: Applying The Foram Index, Kristen Lynn Emrich
Assessing The Impact Of Untreated Sewage On The Coral Reef System Off The Coast Of Caye Caulker, Belize: Applying The Foram Index, Kristen Lynn Emrich
USF St. Petersburg campus Master's Theses (Graduate)
Human raw sewage pollution is one of several environmental concerns in coastal waters of Belize. This study utilizes foraminiferal assemblage distribution in combination with fecal sterols to determine the presence of human sewage and its effects on a coral reef system off the coast of Caye Caulker-Belize. A total of 125 sediment samples were collected off the coast of Caye Caulker. Fecal sterol concentrations (coprostanol), grain analysis (mud percent), foraminiferal ecological indices (species richness, density, and diversity), foraminiferal assemblages, and the FORAM Index (FI) were assessed. Coprostanol analysis showed higher concentrations nearest the eastern shore of Caye Caulker, with lower …

“…A Bolshevik, A Negro And A Gun”, Nadine Allan-Vaught
USF St. Petersburg campus Master's Theses (Graduate)
This thesis reveals how a system of changing social positions structured in various private and public spaces provides a social arena for authors, Charlotte Brontë in Jane Eyre, Wilkie Collins in The Moonstone, Ida B. Wells in A Red Record and Claude McKay in his poem “If We Must Die,” to frame the racial struggles of their particular culture and time. These cross-cultural resources establish a wider, contextual stage from which to understand the complex atmosphere of race and violence out of which the transatlantic racial riots of 1919 emerged. Few scholars engage in such comparative analyses. “A Bolshevik, a …
