America’S Public Defender System: A Day Late And A Dollar Short, Christopher Grondin Apr 2022

America’S Public Defender System: A Day Late And A Dollar Short, Christopher Grondin

MAD-RUSH Undergraduate Research Conference

The right to appointed legal counsel for those accused of felony crimes in America is well known, but the evolution of this right, and contemporary issues in public defense are less well understood. An analysis of case law reveals that the Supreme Court of the United States had certain intentions for an appointed counsel system in the U.S. that have historically not been met. Through analysis of the evolution of case law on this topic, as well as an examination of the systems workings today, informed by multiple public attorneys, specific issues affecting the lives of the accused on a …

Medieval English Metaphors Of The Heart In Chaucer’S Troilus And Criseyde, Drew Forthman Apr 2022

Medieval English Metaphors Of The Heart In Chaucer’S Troilus And Criseyde, Drew Forthman

MAD-RUSH Undergraduate Research Conference

Geoffrey Chaucer, in his passionate romantic tragedy Troilus and Criseyde, uses the Middle English word herte (heart) strikingly often, yet only thrice in its literal usage as an organ. Instead, Chaucer always uses “heart” metaphorically, similarly to common usage in Modern English. Each metaphor originates from an understanding of the heart in relation to those distinct properties it embodied to English people because of cultural origins. Examining these origins reveals the respective presuppositions that this culture, that of our forefathers, associated with the heart. Furthermore, these same metaphors Chaucer wrote have remained in our cultural memory and are still spoken …

Undercover Heroines: The Role Of Women In The Oss, Alexander Pearson Jun 2021

Undercover Heroines: The Role Of Women In The Oss, Alexander Pearson

MAD-RUSH Undergraduate Research Conference

Women played significant roles in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. Aline Griffith’s memoir The Spy Wore Red: My Adventures as an Undercover Agent in World War II recounts her work in preparation for the southern invasion of France following D-day, known as Operation Dragoon. Other written accounts from other female agents indicate that the leadership in Washington wanted women to fulfill traditional gender roles. For example, William J. Donovan stated that women in the OSS should be “behind desks and filing cases in Washington, invisible apron strings of an organization which touched every theater of …


“Now It’S All Simple:” Ideology And Solidarity In Mckay’S Romance In Marseille, Reilly Flynn Jun 2021

“Now It’S All Simple:” Ideology And Solidarity In Mckay’S Romance In Marseille, Reilly Flynn

MAD-RUSH Undergraduate Research Conference

Survival strategy, or an individual’s chosen method of living with dignity and security in an oppressive social order, can be viewed as a reflection of identity. Claude McKay’s recently published 1932 novel Romance in Marseille presents a wide variety of survival strategies practiced by many diasporic Africans. These characters hail from a variety of backgrounds, races, genders, sexual orientations, and disability statuses, but they are nevertheless united by common class conditions. Through this, solidarity and shared ideology emerge. Solidarity is crucially an important revolutionary force, but it is not infallible. With an eye on manifestations of ideology and identity in …


'Household Managers': Women's Employment In Japan, Elizabeth Gaver Jun 2021

'Household Managers': Women's Employment In Japan, Elizabeth Gaver

MAD-RUSH Undergraduate Research Conference

Despite modern Japan’s evident economic success, persisting inequality between men and women is still apparent in the work field, furthered by societal expectations that drive women away from employment and overwork men. This presentation argues the causes of inequality for women in the work field, including societal expectations and the two-track system, as well as analyzes the effects on women’s lifestyle and careers, including the wage gap and prevalence of non-standard employment. Furthermore, this presentation argues the increasingly detrimental effects of employment inequality on Japanese society as a whole, such as the declining fertility rate. Lastly, this paper will focus …


The Committee On Public Information And The Four Minute Men: How The United States Sold A European War To American People, Madison Mcternan Jun 2021

The Committee On Public Information And The Four Minute Men: How The United States Sold A European War To American People, Madison Mcternan

MAD-RUSH Undergraduate Research Conference

Shortly after America’s entry into World War I, President Woodrow Wilson created the Committee on Public Information to garner public support for the War. This committee was created not only to drum up support for the war, but to ease a public frustrated by an isolationist president’s entry into such a conflict. Notable reporter and writer George Creel served as its chairman, and together with countless others created a massive propaganda campaign. The Committee was incredibly successful in its mission of “selling the war.” This was largely due to the fact that Creel and his men revolutionized the way propaganda …


A Safavid Royal Bathhouse Uncovered: Re-Evaluation Of The Sa‘Ādatābād Garden Of Qazvin With New Archaeological Evidence, Sean Silvia Jun 2021

A Safavid Royal Bathhouse Uncovered: Re-Evaluation Of The Sa‘Ādatābād Garden Of Qazvin With New Archaeological Evidence, Sean Silvia

MAD-RUSH Undergraduate Research Conference

In 2019, archaeologists broke ground at the site of Shah Ṭahmāsp I’s Sa’ādatābād in Qazvin, a royal garden and palace complex finished in 1557. There they discovered remains of a Safavid bathhouse. There have been many recent efforts to reconstruct Sa’ādatābād as it originally was, but none of them include the recently unearthed baths in their models. The archaeological team’s dig reports also do not perform this sort of analysis. This paper will consider historical and archaeological evidence to incorporate the bathhouse discovery into the reconstruction of Sa’ādatābād. It will situate the baths within the context of a garden city, …

This poetic work seeks to enlighten others, as to potentially cultivate a bridge of understanding and empathy. Despite background, creed, or color, discussion of the issues is the most direct method towards progress. Through the use of text and imagery, the hope of this poetic work …
