A National Style: A Critical Historiography Of The Irish Short Story, Andrew Fox
A National Style: A Critical Historiography Of The Irish Short Story, Andrew Fox
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation examines the artistic, historical and theoretical concerns that, for the past century, have shaped the Irish short story, the Irish nation and the body of criticism that mediates between the two. In Ireland, I argue, the prevailing critical narrative of the short story’s emergence and ongoing literary purpose has been bound up with the political narrative of the nation state’s decolonization.

This novel is an interrogation into the intersections of femininity, violence, and mythologies of power, presented through the lens of a young woman. Marin, newly seventeen, is plunged into a world of magic, in which she is forced to confront the ethics of revenge and the intricacies of her own developing sexuality.

Abortion Is Communism: A Genealogy Of "Abortion Culture", Heather Nicole Bradford
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
In the twenty years since the collapse of communism in the Eastern Bloc, various scholars of history, women's studies, sociology, political science, and reproductive rights have studied the occurrence of abortion in these formerly communist countries. Although some have sought to question the notion of "abortion culture," most look to these countries as places where abortion was tragically prevalent and accepted. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the assumed knowledge concerning abortion and how this obscures understandings of abortion in formerly communist countries of Eastern Europe. By creating genealogy of "abortion culture," this research seeks to trace the …
