Effects Of Online, Collaborative Discourse On Secondary Student Writing: A Case Study Of The History And Ecology Of An Electronic Exchange, Julie Henderson Rucker
Effects Of Online, Collaborative Discourse On Secondary Student Writing: A Case Study Of The History And Ecology Of An Electronic Exchange, Julie Henderson Rucker
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Technological environments where teens spend much of their time after school are environments that educators seldom use in classroom instruction. These Web 2.0 environments are participatory, collaborative environments where teens share music, files, pictures, and ideas and are influenced by the information shared by others within their Web 2.0 environments. This study looks at a particular online environment, the Bread Loaf Teacher Network, and how secondary student writing is affected by the collaborative nature of electronic exchanges conducted on this online network. This study analyzed the history and ecology of one electronic exchange (a technological, participatory discourse community within the …
Passions We Like...And Those We Don't: Anti-Gay Hate Crime Laws And The Discursive Construction Of Sex, Gender, And The Body, Yvonne Zylan
Passions We Like...And Those We Don't: Anti-Gay Hate Crime Laws And The Discursive Construction Of Sex, Gender, And The Body, Yvonne Zylan
Yvonne Zylan
This article examines an oft noted, but largely unexplored, aspect of law’s functioning: its ability to constitute social reality. Specifically, I investigate the ways in which law helps define and delimit sexuality as a set of practices, experiences, and identifications. I do so by analyzing the discursive dimensions of anti-gay hate crime laws, demonstrating that such laws produce discrete discursive objects (doctrine and argument) within a specific set of institutional practices (the juridical field), and that these objects and practices in turn legitimate certain limiting narratives, instantiating them as social knowledge and as the ground of sexed and gendered performances. …

Narratives And Sensemaking In The New Corporate University: The Socialization Of First Year Communication Faculty, Andrew F. Herrmann
Narratives And Sensemaking In The New Corporate University: The Socialization Of First Year Communication Faculty, Andrew F. Herrmann
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
I examined what brand new Ph.D.s in Communication experience when they start their first, entry-level, tenure-track assistant professor position at a new university. Through the lens of scocial construction, I review vocational and organizational socialization, individual agency by newcomers, academic socialization processes, and the concept of the academic career in the current climate of university change and transformation. Then, I present the method of research, including the population and sampling method, and rationales for utilizing a narrative approach, interactive interviewing, and autoethnographic writing. After presenting the participants' narratives, I revisit both within- and between-case issues, beginning with socialization from the …
Mormon Rhetoric And The Theory Of Organic Evolution, Kurt Wilford Laird
Mormon Rhetoric And The Theory Of Organic Evolution, Kurt Wilford Laird
Theses and Dissertations
Most rhetorical studies of evolution/religion debates have addressed the media version of the debates that pits fundamentalist religion against science. Yet, most of the rhetorical studies in this area have not been nuanced enough to appreciate the complexity of the rhetoric resulting from this rich area of discourse. This study provides a rhetorical analysis of the evolution rhetoric in one particular religion, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and focuses on the discourse of two prominent leaders in the LDS Church, B.H. Roberts and Joseph Fielding Smith. In the LDS Church there is a clear distinction …
Emotional Labor: Re/Membering Juan, Randall Wright, Kathryn Schofield
Emotional Labor: Re/Membering Juan, Randall Wright, Kathryn Schofield
Journal of Critical Issues in Educational Practice
This paper finds its home in a graduate student’s essay which led to the realization that teaching for social justice in a foundations course cannot ignore the emotional labor of teachers. Critical concepts such as ideology, hegemony and domination must be considered as cognitive frameworks and emotional management systems that delimit and prescribe proper “feelings” for teachers as well. Current educational discourses serve a similar emotional management function. Schools are thus considered battlegrounds for dominance and control of teachers’ emotional lives. Recovering the emotional world of teachers thus serves as a counter-discourse to the current technical-rationalist educational discourse. We conclude …
Agricultural Transformation And Livelihood Struggles In South Africa's Western Cape, Michaela B. Palchick
Agricultural Transformation And Livelihood Struggles In South Africa's Western Cape, Michaela B. Palchick
Geography Honors Projects
Agricultural Transformation and Livelihood Struggles in South Africa’s Western Cape South Africa’s post-Apartheid land reform programs redistribute previously white-owned farmland to a small percentage of blacks, and provide these new farmers with agricultural extension services that promote large-scale agriculture. Due to the national legacy of racial oppression and an international pressure for neoliberal development policies, there is scant infrastructural support for small-scale agriculture. Despite the government’s vision, most black farmers produce for local consumption because competing internationally is unfavorable, especially since the removal of agricultural subsidies in 1994. The shortcomings of the agricultural transformation program are apparent in the village …
Unspoken Voices: Captain Cook's Third Voyage, The Lono Question, And The Discourse Of Trade, Gordon Sauer Iii
Unspoken Voices: Captain Cook's Third Voyage, The Lono Question, And The Discourse Of Trade, Gordon Sauer Iii
All Theses
This thesis examines the polarized debate regarding Captain James Cook's apotheosis waging on between anthropologists Marshall Sahlins and Gananath Obeyesekere. By illustrating how and why binary interpretations of Cook's death render a shallow examination of associated travel texts, the thesis re-examines two travel journals resulting from Cook's third and final voyage--journals from the American, John Ledyard and Captain James Cook--and an account, 'Captain Cook's Visit to Hawaii,' taken from Samuel Mānaiakalani Kamakaua's (nineteenth-century Hawaiian historian) Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii. Focusing on discussions of trade, this project reconfigures the apotheosis debate in order to highlight the significance of the discourse …
When Cultures Collide: The Kanaka Maoli And The Haole Women And The Suppression And Resurgence Of Hawai‘Ian Traditional Beliefs, Roxanne O'Connell
When Cultures Collide: The Kanaka Maoli And The Haole Women And The Suppression And Resurgence Of Hawai‘Ian Traditional Beliefs, Roxanne O'Connell
Reason and Respect
The traditional and ritual beliefs of the Kanaka Maoli are intimately connected to Hawaiian identity and the relationship between the person and the universe. Therefore any examination of these, by extension, is an examination of the Kanaka Maoli way of life. This essay examines pre-haole Hawaiian culture, the diminishing of women’s presence and authority during the missionary period through annexation, and the recent women activist voices that have emerged as part of the sovereignty discourse.

Performing Identities As Literate Fourth Graders Via (D)Iscourse In A Testing-Driven Classroom, Meadow Sherrill Graham
Performing Identities As Literate Fourth Graders Via (D)Iscourse In A Testing-Driven Classroom, Meadow Sherrill Graham
Middle-Secondary Education and Instructional Technology Dissertations
Students in every classroom construct a (D)iscourse of literacy that reflects not only who they are but their environment as well. (D)iscourses are more than just dialogues, rather they integrate not only the cultural values and norms of that situation, but also the specific language needs (Gee, 2001). Additionally, (D)iscourses reveal the internal narratives of individuals as they present themselves within context to others (Bruner, 2002). The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) introduced new influences on school and classroom environments. NCLB implemented standardized, high-stakes testing to measure student, teacher and school performance, attaching serious consequences to not …
Teacher Video Clubs: A Method For Creating A Mathematical Discourse Community Through Collective Reflection, Nancy Jo Schafer
Teacher Video Clubs: A Method For Creating A Mathematical Discourse Community Through Collective Reflection, Nancy Jo Schafer
Communication Sciences and Disorders Dissertations
Although the reform movement in mathematics education has been very influential within colleges of education and among researchers, it has had less of an effect on mathematics education at the K-12 level (National Center for Educational Statistics, 1999). As a part of the reform movement, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (1991) recommends that teachers engage students in mathematical discourse. Given that situated learning theory suggests that reflection, particularly collective reflection, is necessary for professional development (Borko & Putnam, 1998; Lave & Wenger, 1991), this study examined the use of teacher video clubs as a space in which novice …
Development Of Seventh Grade Pre-Algebra Students' Mathematical Problem Solving Through Written Explanations And Justificati, Rebecca Jones
Development Of Seventh Grade Pre-Algebra Students' Mathematical Problem Solving Through Written Explanations And Justificati, Rebecca Jones
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this action research, the interactions of seventh grade pre-algebra students in a mathematics classroom shared their explanation and justification processes through group work. Prior to the start of the study students were given a written pre-test to determine current conceptual thinking in mathematics. Over the next nine weeks, the teacher engaged the students in problem solving activities that included reasoning skills, communication and making connections through discussion with their peers. Following nine weeks of written and verbal discourse, students were provided a post-test to determine changes in their conceptual thinking. Overall students' grades, journal writings and test scores showed …
Effects Of Discussion And Writing On Student Understanding Of Mathematics Concepts, Joseph Roicki
Effects Of Discussion And Writing On Student Understanding Of Mathematics Concepts, Joseph Roicki
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
For this action research project, I wanted to examine my practice of teaching mathematics. Specifically, I encouraged students to improve their communication skills during my math class through daily discussion and writing tasks. After establishing a class set of sociomathematical norms, the students solved problems provided by the Every Day Counts: Calendar Math program and used verbal and written formats to describe their problem solving methods and reasons. My study showed the effects of using discussion and writing to help students develop their conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas. Focus was placed on the quality of daily discussions and written tasks …
The Interplay Of Discourse, Place And Space In Pedagogic Relations, Pauline T. Jones
The Interplay Of Discourse, Place And Space In Pedagogic Relations, Pauline T. Jones
Faculty of Education - Papers (Archive)
Schooling, for many, remains a major site for successful apprenticeship into academically valued discourses. Such discourses require learners to manage shifts in language use from that which construes material, embodied contexts to that construing disembodied, virtual contexts (Hasan, 2001). Responsibility for mediating these shifts for young learners lies, for the most part, with teachers in their decisions concerning the framing and classification (Bernstein, 1990) of contexts. While linguistic analysis provides a rich picture of situated mediating practices, classification and framing are also relevant to relationships between and within pedagogic spaces and geographical locations - aspects of setting over which teachers …
The Multiple Discourses Of Science-Society Engagement, Judith Motion, S. R. Leitch
The Multiple Discourses Of Science-Society Engagement, Judith Motion, S. R. Leitch
Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)
A meta-analysis of the changing science –society discourses that played out in New Zealand after the lifting of a moratorium on applications for the release of genetically modified organisms is provided in this article. It highlights the tension between the scientific focus on knowledge and societal values, beliefs and emotions and the need for a democratized discursive space for societal engagement with science. A key contribution of the article is identification of the role of altruistic discourses in societal considerations of controversial scientific innovations.

C. Coffin, Historical Discourse: The Language Of Time, Cause And Evaluation, Honglin Chen
Faculty of Social Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Published as part of the Discourse Studies series edited by Ken Hyland, Coffin's Historical Discourse provides a systematic, informative and insightful description of the nature of historical discourse, its function and role, and of its pedagogic potential in the context of secondary schools. The book draws on and expands the scholarship Coffin has developed over some ten years, which includes her work in the 'Write it Right' Project of the disadvantaged Schools Program (xiii), her PhD (Coffin 2000) and her later work on historical discourse (Coffin 2002; 2003; 2004). The book makes a significant contribution to understanding the value of …
Postdramatic Theatre & Australia: A 'New' Theatre Discourse, Margaret M. Hamilton
Postdramatic Theatre & Australia: A 'New' Theatre Discourse, Margaret M. Hamilton
Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)
The penultimate year of the twentieth century marked the publication of two highly significant books contributing to the development of local and international theatre history and theory. In 1999 Currency Press, in association with RealTime, published Performing the unNameable, the first anthology of Australian performance texts to appear in Australia, and Verlag der Autoren published Hans-Thies Lehmann's landmark contribution to the understanding of 'new' forms of theatre, Postdramatisches Theater. The long-awaited English translation of Lehmann's book by Karen Jiirs-Munby, Post dramatic Theatre, appeared in early 2006. Prior to its availability to an Anglophone readership, Lehmann's monograph had emerged as a …
Thirteen-Year-Old Girls: Tales Of School Transition And Feminine Identity, Thienhuong Hoang
Thirteen-Year-Old Girls: Tales Of School Transition And Feminine Identity, Thienhuong Hoang
Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies
This paper is based on an ethnographic multi-method study, involving interviews, focus groups, diaries and observation. It explores some of the tales of thirteen-year-old female students who told about their experiences of growing up and making the transition from primary to secondary school. The paper argues that their experiences of growing up and changing schools were not a simple, linear process, but involved feelings of intense pleasure and tremendous pain. Building on a growing body of literature concerned with the experience of growing-up, this paper seeks to highlight the multiple ways in which these female students negotiated this phase of …
Establishing Relations Between Law And Other Forms Of Thought And Language, James Boyd White
Establishing Relations Between Law And Other Forms Of Thought And Language, James Boyd White
Articles
The law does not, and could not, exist in an intellectual or linguistic vacuum. No one believes that the law is or should be impervious to other languages, other bodies of knowledge. In this sense the argument about the 'autonomy' of law is an empty one: law cannot be, should not be, perfectly autonomous, unconnected with any other system of thought and expression; yet it plainly has it own identity as a discourse, it own intellectual and linguistic habits, which it is our task as lawyers to understand and develop. It follows that an essential topic of legal thought is …
The Effects Of Problem Solving Strategy Instruction, Journal Writing And Discourse On 6th Grade Advanced Mathematics Student Per, Melissa Wittcop
The Effects Of Problem Solving Strategy Instruction, Journal Writing And Discourse On 6th Grade Advanced Mathematics Student Per, Melissa Wittcop
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
There are two purposes to this study. The first was for me, as a teacher, to try something new in my instruction and grow from it. The second purpose of this study focused on the students. I wanted to see what level of performance in problem solving my students are at currently, and how the use of journaling and discourse affected the students' problem solving abilities. A problem-solving unit was taught heuristically in order to introduce students to the various strategies that could be used in problem solving. Math journals were also used for problem solving and reflection. Classroom discourse …
Tease Of The New Earthdivers: Following Native Narrative In Search Of New Identities, Gerald P. Mckinley
Tease Of The New Earthdivers: Following Native Narrative In Search Of New Identities, Gerald P. Mckinley
Digitized Theses
This thesis aims to trace the role of contemporary Native narratives in the creation of a new Native identity after the liquidation of the indian simulation. Originating in a language theory that is based both on words as representative signs and as casual I seek to explore how contemporary Native authors are blending their specific community’s oral traditions together with contemporary Western theory. Of primary concern is how Native authors are appropriating Western theory for their own use rather than depending on Western discourse for meaning. I examine the role of Trickster Discourse in upending the invented indian simulation and …
Indeterminacy And The Establishment Clause, Frederick Mark Gedicks
Indeterminacy And The Establishment Clause, Frederick Mark Gedicks
Faculty Scholarship
Prepared for a symposium on Kent Greenawalt, 2 Religion and the Constitution: Establishment and Fairness (Princeton, 2008), this essay responds to Professor Greenawalt's criticism of my argument in The Rhetoric of Church and State (Duke, 1995), that Establishment Clause doctrine is the incoherent residue of conflicting rhetorical discourses of religious communitarianism and secular individualism. Not only are the Supreme Court's Establishment Clause decisions inconsistent at the margins, but there is no identifiable core meaning that can account for these decisions. The essay concludes that, contra Greenawalt, the thesis of conflicting rhetorical discourses remains the most powerful explanation of the Court's …
