Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this post-qualitative feminist study, object-interviews with women who participated in the Memphis Womens March (MWM) and nonhuman objects were used to explore the interconnections of the MWM and the women and the nonhuman objects, and the relational knowledge generated by the interconnections between humans (e.g., the women who marched, other marchers) and nonhumans (e.g., posters, banners, t-shirts, pink pussyhats, and/or photographs).

An Architecture Of Unity: Exploring Metaphor As A Means To Communicate, Shiva Keyvanfar

Heart's Blood: A Biography Of Lemuel Whitley Diggs, Richard Harold Nollan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation examines the career of Lemuel Whitley Diggs, who joined the faculty in 1929 at the University of Tennessee Medical Units in Memphis. As a white doctor, he spent his career seeking more effective therapies for patients afflicted with sickle cell anemia, which was considered a black disease, a racial marker, and a sign of black inferiority.

By the late 1940s, storing blood for later transfusion became a practical reality, enabling …

The course of his life unfolded along an interesting and often tragic path. Simion Brnuiu graduated from the Uniate Theological Seminary in Blaj. It is fair to …
