The Curious Case Of Convenience Casinos: How Internet Sweepstakes Cafes Survive In A Gray Area Between Unlawful Gambling And Legitimate Business Promotions, Steven Silver
Steven Silver
Once relegated to the Nevada desert and New Jersey shore, gambling is now everywhere in the United States. State governments strapped for cash and desperate for increased tax revenues are welcoming gambling with open arms as forty-three states sponsor lotteries and twenty-three states house casinos. Despite this gaming boom, the ease of access to casinos has not deterred entrepreneurs from successfully creating an offshoot industry of “convenience casinos.” Convenience casinos are simply Internet cafes that sell Internet time cards attached with instant-win sweepstakes entries, much like the code underneath a Coke bottle or a McDonald’s Monopoly game piece. Although seemingly …
Teaching Chang-Rae Lee’S _Aloft_: Exploring The Limits Of Race And Ethnicity, Jaime Cleland
Teaching Chang-Rae Lee’S _Aloft_: Exploring The Limits Of Race And Ethnicity, Jaime Cleland
Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies
Chang-rae Lees 2004 novel Aloft may not be his most famous work, but it is a highly effective classroom text. In its contemporary, multicultural, suburban setting, it portrays a world that students recognize; simultaneously, however, it can effectively challenge their assumptions about ethnic American literature. The novel centers on Jerry Battle, an amateur pilot who distances himself from his problems in his private jet, and explores the problems of four generations of his multi-ethnic family. The Battles, with both Italian and Korean heritage, are representative of the current landscape of race and ethnicity in America; mixed-race identities have become accepted …

Disturbing Stereotypes: Fu Man/Chan And Dragon Lady Blossoms, Audrey Wu Clark
Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies
Article Submission (Accepted with Revisions): Disturbing Stereotypes: Fu Man/Chan and Dragon Lady Blossoms Article Abstract: In documenting anti-miscegenation laws in the United States, critic Sally L. Kitch argues that they were not only directed against mixed heritage African Americans but also against Asians after the Civil War. Kitch writes, Fourteen states, including many that entered the Union after the war, adopted or revised anti-miscegenation statutes to apply to Mongolians, or Malays in general or to the Chinese in particular. Gender was also paramount to western lawmakers as they determined that the blacks white women were most likely to marry were …
The Abjection Of James Dean: Mixed Media/Mixed Race Performances In Ai's Poem, "James Dean", Cathy Irwin
The Abjection Of James Dean: Mixed Media/Mixed Race Performances In Ai's Poem, "James Dean", Cathy Irwin
Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies
This paper investigates how the developmental process of the Japanese-Black-Choctaw-Irish American poet Ai translates into a creative process that integrates aspects of identity thrown out or made abject by dominant cultural norms and ideals. Just as Ai once disidentified with parts of her identity to discover and integrate her abject Japanese heritage, Ai's dramatic monologue "James Dean" explores the intersections where the poetic voice-the narrator or subject speaking-disidentifies with the cinematic and textual image of iconic white, heterosexual masculinity in order to integrate a sexuality that usually constitutes its "outside." In the process, this paper argues that by mixing print …

Carnival, Convents, And The Cult Of St. Rocque: Cultural Subterfuge In The Work Of Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Sibongile B. Lynch
Carnival, Convents, And The Cult Of St. Rocque: Cultural Subterfuge In The Work Of Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Sibongile B. Lynch
English Theses
In the work of Alice Dunbar-Nelson the city and culture of 19th century New Orleans figures prominently, and is a major character affecting the lives of her protagonists. While race, class, and gender are among the focuses of many scholars the eccentricity and cultural history of the most exotic American city, and its impact on Dunbar-Nelson’s writing is unmistakable. This essay will discuss how the diverse cultural environment of New Orleans in the 19th century allowed Alice Dunbar Nelson to create narratives which allowed her short stories to speak to the shifting identities of women and the social …

These documents have influenced recent developments in the emerging democracies of eastern and central Europe.
Unesco’S Cultural Heritage Lists: Protecting Indigenous Traditional Sports And Games, Jesse W. Busta
Unesco’S Cultural Heritage Lists: Protecting Indigenous Traditional Sports And Games, Jesse W. Busta
Jesse Busta
This Note, entitled UNESCO’s Cultural Heritage Lists: Protecting Indigenous Traditional Sports and Games, will be the first to examine fully from a legal perspective a proposal to develop a means for protecting indigenous traditional sports and games, which are a valuable asset to all humanity. Protections are needed for indigenous traditional sports and games due to the harmful effects of globalization and the deviation of today’s people from their ancestors’ traditions. Currently, only tangible cultural heritage and limited intangible cultural heritage are protected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (“UNESCO”). Cultural heritage forms the backbone of human …

The Mediating Role Of Coping On The Relationship Between Attachment Style And Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Among Suicidal African American Women, Wendy Heath-Gainer
The Mediating Role Of Coping On The Relationship Between Attachment Style And Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Among Suicidal African American Women, Wendy Heath-Gainer
Counseling and Psychological Services Dissertations
The literature on clinical interventions for suicide prevention indicates that low-income, suicidal African American females are an historically underserved population. Contributing to this lack of service are the intersecting influences of race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and related oppressions (APA, 2007). In suicidal African American females, a higher level of reported symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder has been found in suicide attempters as compared to nonattempters (Kaslow et al., 2000), and PTSD has been shown to be associated with heightened risk of an ensuing suicide attempt (Wilcox, Storr, & Breslau, 2009). One factor affecting manifestation of PTSD …

Grandparents' Visitation Rights: A Survey Of Reciprocal Kinship-Ties Based In Historical Common Law And Legislative Policies, Jane E. Atkinson
Marquette Elder's Advisor
This article presents an in-depth exploration of the view that family ties and relationships should play an important role in determining grandparent-grandchild visitation rights, based on the important role of the extended family throughout recorded history. Atkinson postulates that post-Troxel visitation decisions should include increased consideration of the value to the child of grandparent visitation.

All Things Shining: A Narrative And Stylistic Analysis Of Terrence Malick's Films, C. Clinton Stivers
All Things Shining: A Narrative And Stylistic Analysis Of Terrence Malick's Films, C. Clinton Stivers
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation fills a gap in the scholarship on the films of Terrence Malick by providing a historically based and grounded auteur study that provides a comprehensive examination of his formal and thematic concerns in Badlands (1973), Days of Heaven (1978), The Thin Red Line (1998), The New World (2005), and with a coda on The Tree of Life (2011).
This auteur study draws on critical approaches to formalism, Hollywood genres, American cultural myths, and the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Each chapter that addresses a specific film opens by historically situating Malick and that film within an industrial and production …

Leaving The Dale To Be More Fair: On Cls And First Amendment Jurisprudence, Mark Strasser
Mark Strasser
In Christian Legal Society of the University of California, Hastings College of Law v. Martinez, the Supreme Court upheld the Hastings College of Law’s requirement that all recognized student groups have an open membership policy. The decision has been criticized for a variety of reasons, e.g., that the Court conflated the First Amendment tests for speech and association. What has not been adequately explored is the degree to which the Court has modified limited purpose public forum analysis in the university context over the past few decades, resulting in a jurisprudence that is virtually unrecognizable in light of the more …
Paper Towns: Sense Of Place In Industrial, Small-Town New England, 1869-1927, David William Deacon
Paper Towns: Sense Of Place In Industrial, Small-Town New England, 1869-1927, David William Deacon
History - Dissertations
After the Civil War, new technologies and business structures transformed the American economy and society. One area that has received much attention in the antebellum period but much less after the Civil War, is small town New England. In the late 1860s, the introduction of wood pulp paper technology transformed formerly small market and manufacturing communities into centers of heavy industry. This dissertation is a study of this transformation. It focuses on three communities: Bellows Falls, Vermont, Franklin, New Hampshire, and Turners Falls, Massachusetts.
This study examines four broad areas: the historical background of the towns, and townspeople's awareness of …
Community Reclamation: The Hybrid Building, Laura Maynard
Community Reclamation: The Hybrid Building, Laura Maynard
Architecture Theses
Reclamation of a city involves reusing abandoned buildings in conjunction with new construction. These negative spaces of disuse generated by a changing infrastructure are often overlooked or destroyed. If they are instead viewed as positive spaces for reuse, a city’s infrastructure and its residents can adapt and grow.
Recognizing these newly positive spaces produces a chance to examine what social needs of the community are not being met. Pushing the modern concept of the hybrid building creates a unique opportunity; flexibility of use derived from flexibility of space. A community building can best serve the social needs of its residents …

From Confederate Expatriates To New South Neo-Filibusters: Major Edward A. Burke And The Americas, Michael Powers
From Confederate Expatriates To New South Neo-Filibusters: Major Edward A. Burke And The Americas, Michael Powers
All Theses
The traditional historiography of the American South presents the New South creed as a vision emphasizing national reconciliation based upon the advancement of Southern commerce and industry. In addition, scholars broadly define New South spokesmen as men who came to maturity after the Civil War and did not involve themselves in state or national politics. An examination of Major Edward Austin Burke, however, reveals that at least one pivotal New South booster was a Confederate veteran and leading political figure; it also suggests the presence of an international component inherent in the New South paradigm of the 1880s. It is …

Through The Looking Glass: Another Reading Of Willa Cather's The Professor's House, Rebecca H. Bonacchi
English Theses
This project examines Cather’s experimentation with conflicting voices of narrative authority in the presentation of four central female characters in The Professor’s House, using St. Peter and an entity termed the implied narrator as lenses through which we view other characters. The project is broken down into four chapters, each dealing one addressing the central issues involving that specific female character.

From The Golden Gate To The Green Mountains: A Hapa Educational Autobiography And Meta-Critical Reflection, Noelle Brassey
From The Golden Gate To The Green Mountains: A Hapa Educational Autobiography And Meta-Critical Reflection, Noelle Brassey
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
As a former UC Berkeley undergraduate and a University of Vermont graduate student, this is an educational autobiography of a self-identified Hapa, or mixed-race Asian American, through the lens of race and identity. Exploring what it means to be “white” and “privileged,” and realizing that these concepts--like identity--are fluid, this thesis adopts a dual methodology that includes personal narrative, as well as a meta-critical reflection. This thesis focuses on three memoirs: Bone Black and Wounds of Passion by bell hooks, and Hunger of Memory by Richard Rodriguez, each of which explore themes of reclaiming voice and reconstructing identity with regards …

Forging The Future: Community Leadership And Economic Change In Coös County, New Hampshire, Michele Dillon
Carsey School of Public Policy
Author Michele Dillon conducted a case study of community change in Coös County, New Hampshire, for two-and-a-half years (June 2009-December 2011) to investigate how local community leaders in Coös assess the initiatives, challenges, opportunities, and progress in the North Country during this time of economic transition. Her primary data-gathering method included personal interviews with community leaders, supplemented by observation, documentary, and survey data. Dillon discusses how there is a strong consensus among community leaders that Coös needs to work together as a county with a unified vision and voice while respecting the specific character, strengths, and needs of each local …

In this paper I will present the historical background of the current Greek economic crisis. I will delve into the causes of the fiscal and current-account deficits since Greece’s euro entry in 2001. In addition to the economic and financial information provided, I will also present cultural aspects and differences between Greece and its surrounding neighbors, primarily Germany, and how moral hazard has exacerbated the conflict. Further I will discuss the legality of the countermeasures and solutions presented and how these encroach upon European Union law treaties. Lastly I will conclude that in order for Greece and Germany to stabilize …
