Connecting The Adult And Child Worlds: Comparing The Significance Of Food In The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe And Anne Of Green Gables, Cynthia Yeung Jan 2015

Connecting The Adult And Child Worlds: Comparing The Significance Of Food In The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe And Anne Of Green Gables, Cynthia Yeung

2015 Undergraduate Awards

Inextricably intertwined with feelings of security and love, the theme of food is prominent throughout the history of children’s literature. Food is employed in both C. S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and L. M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables to examine the child-adult the power dynamic and to emphasize the moral evolution accompanying children’s developmental transition into adulthood. Both Montgomery and Lewis suggest the significance of food in relation to adulthood and childhood in three ways: food as a dichotomic symbol for empowerment and oppression; the desire for food as a metaphor for sexual hunger and …


The Aesthetics Of Hunger: Knut Hamsun, Modernism, And Starvation's Global Frame, Timothy Wientzen Jan 2015

The Aesthetics Of Hunger: Knut Hamsun, Modernism, And Starvation's Global Frame, Timothy Wientzen

English

Exhibiting formal characteristics of works published decades later, Knut Hamsun's Hunger (1890) has long occupied a central position in genealogies of modernism. Its status in the modernist canon, however, has often come at the cost of disregarding the cultural and economic conditions of Hamsun's Norway, which was one of Europe's least developed nations in the nineteenth century. Where critics have tended to treat the hunger that drives Hamsun's novel in terms of the desires and affects of metropolitan modernity, this article instead reads starvation as a transnational historical phenomenon, one that informed wide swaths of the global periphery in the …

The Shanachie, Volume 27, Number 2, Connecticut Irish-American Historical Society

The Shanachie (CTIAHS)

Like most Connecticut communities, Wallingford has been the home of a large number of natives of Ireland and people of Irish descent. Settled in 1670, the town attracted Irish immigrants with employment opportunities in industry, transportation and domestic service. This issue of The Shanachie features the stories of just two of the many Irish of Wallingford.


Death In Every Paragraph: Journalism & The Great Irish Famine, Michael Foley Jan 2015

Death In Every Paragraph: Journalism & The Great Irish Famine, Michael Foley

Books/Book chapters

It is a truism to say that the Great Irish Famine of 1845 to 1852 brought enormous changes to Ireland. The impact of massive emigration, death and suffering of so many people changed Ireland and marks the separation from the 18th century from modernity. It was also a period of change for the press, whose journalists had to find ways to tell the story of the famine. This work, using the three Cork newspapers as its case study, argues that the methods developed in the late 1840s laid down the basis for disaster coverage to this day.


The Current State Of Evidence-Based Practices With Classroom Management, Peter Ross, Bruce Sliger Jan 2015

The Current State Of Evidence-Based Practices With Classroom Management, Peter Ross, Bruce Sliger

Walden Faculty and Staff Publications

Education has been calling for evidence-based practices to help validate it as a bona fide profession (Gable, Tonelson, Sheth, Wilson, & Park, 2012). Lack of evidence-based practices presents an unusual irony in education since the literature has been addressing this research-to-practice gap for years. In particular, evidence based practices in classroom management and discipline have been nearly absent. Skinner noted as far back as 1968 (Skinner, 1968) that most teachers simply incorporate personal experiences into classroom practices rather than embracing science-based methods.
