Her World Changed: Anna Louise Strong And The 1916 Everett Massacre, Charlotte Nabors
Her World Changed: Anna Louise Strong And The 1916 Everett Massacre, Charlotte Nabors
History Theses
The 1970s saw a resurgence in the scholarship on Anna Louise Strong’s life, especially in feminist circles. In general, historians pre-1970 doubted the authenticity of Strong’s political radicalism and criticized the inconsistency in her participation. Neis’ scholarship represents the largely uncritical second-wave feminist interest in Strong’s life following her death in 1970. The scholarship on Strong’s life falls into three categories: the old guard, the feminist renaissance, and twenty-first-century perspectives. Since 2000, a more nuanced interpretation of Strong’s life incorporated elements of the old guard and feminist discussions. Anna Louise Strong’s introduction to activism began in her childhood as the …
Covid-19 Outbreak Responses: The Pandemic Of Racism Against Africans Living Outside Their Continent, Emmanuel Lamptey, Dooshima Aki Benita, Evans Osei Boakye
Covid-19 Outbreak Responses: The Pandemic Of Racism Against Africans Living Outside Their Continent, Emmanuel Lamptey, Dooshima Aki Benita, Evans Osei Boakye
Race and Pedagogy Journal: Teaching and Learning for Justice
The coronavirus pandemic has heightened racial discriminations and these discriminations are mostly directed toward Africans living outside the continent. One of the dark spots of the pandemic is that it has been a pandemic of racism in which the fundamental rights and freedoms of Africans are trampled upon. Aside from the health challenges and deaths associated with the COVID-19, Africans are the ones suffering the racial abuses, harassment and violent events in public spaces than any other race. This paper highlights and examine the racial discriminations levelled against Africans living in Asia, the main factor that made them vulnerable during …
Socioeconomic Status's Impact On The Experience Of Loneliness, Tessa Samuels
Socioeconomic Status's Impact On The Experience Of Loneliness, Tessa Samuels
Sociology & Anthropology Theses
Loneliness is a feeling that is nearly universal, yet some people are more vulnerable to prolonged exposures of the experience of loneliness. Due to the subjective nature of loneliness, there is minimal literature on loneliness without the variable of social isolation (Hawkley et al. 2008, Ryan et al. 2008, Kearns et al. 2015, Lee and Ishii-Kuntz 1987) or social capital (Benner and Wang 2014, Andersson 1998, Ryan et al. 2008, Kearns et al. 2015) involved. There are numerous variables that impact loneliness. One must consider age — there has been solid gerontology research that reveals that elderly people are less …
Giving The Global High Sign: Coca-Cola Advertising Of The “American Way” In Life Magazine, 1941-1947, Scott Greenfield
Giving The Global High Sign: Coca-Cola Advertising Of The “American Way” In Life Magazine, 1941-1947, Scott Greenfield
History Theses
Magazine advertising through these years marketed American products to a consumer base that was becoming more patriotic. This “patriotic consumerism” manifested itself both in its foundational support for the United States’ involvement in World War II and in its constant implementation of the “American Dream” ideology that mixed nostalgia and modernity in preparation of a post-war world. Expanding upon the resulting cultural behavior of classifying the support of American business as a quasi-civic duty, The Coca-Cola Company successfully situated the “American Way of Life” as a global aspiration through its product’s entanglement in the global settings of war, ensuring that …
From Cuba To Ferguson: A Reflection On Memory As Bridge Across Communities Of Struggle, Joe Kaplan
From Cuba To Ferguson: A Reflection On Memory As Bridge Across Communities Of Struggle, Joe Kaplan
Race and Pedagogy Journal: Teaching and Learning for Justice
I wrote this piece spontaneously as I reflected on the anniversary of Ferguson while working on my summer research project on former Black Panther and current political exile, Assata Shakur. I wanted to stress the role that memory plays in the creation of communities, whether nationally imagined, or based around a shared sense of justice. Shakur's asylum status in Cuba should serve as a reminder to all advocates of social justice in the U.S. that transnational communities of struggle can serve a vital function in redressing domestic racial injustice. I go on to make the recommendation that contemporary activists harness …

Poems Shared By Yazmin Monet Watkins At The 2014 Race & Pedagogy Conference, Yazmin Monet Watkins

"A Lesson in this Queer African American Woman's History," was the opening poem for Angela Davis' speech and "Love Letter For Puget Sound," was performed at the Youth Speaks, Youth Summit. The other poems were shared at the What Now Is The Word evening performance. Although these poems were shared as a spoken word performance, it is important to share and document them in this journal as art and activism go hand in hand.
The Crossroads At Midnight: Hegemony In The Music And Culture Of Delta Blues, Taylor Applegate
The Crossroads At Midnight: Hegemony In The Music And Culture Of Delta Blues, Taylor Applegate
Summer Research
The blues gave rise to the many forms of Afro-American popular music, among them bebop, ragtime, jazz, funk, soul and rap. The origins of the blues itself, however, is less clear; many origin stories cite a simple fusion of West African musical traditions with Western ones while others are founded in the mythos of the lone guitarist at the crossroads in league with the devil. In reality, the origin of blues music, like any other cultural production, probably arose from a series of interacting factors under unique social and economic circumstances. This project investigates the probable origins of the blues, …
Rain Inside The Elevator: Dualities In The Plays Of Sarah Ruhl As Seen Through The Lens Of Ancient Greek Theatre, Hannah Fattor
Rain Inside The Elevator: Dualities In The Plays Of Sarah Ruhl As Seen Through The Lens Of Ancient Greek Theatre, Hannah Fattor
Summer Research
Considering the modern playwright Sarah Ruhl’s current body of work through the paradigm of ancient Greek theatrical tradition illuminates many links to Greek theatre and highlights the depth of the emotions within her plays. The ancient Greek playwrights Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes, along with Ruhl, confront themes of love and death with both sorrow and humor, considering the different ways people cope with traumatic circumstances. They focus in particular on the relationships that form between people after a significant loss, and how humans come together in a community, seeking connection with each other. By theatrically exploring the themes of …
