From Development To Desintegration: Elites And The Connectedness Of Mountain Communities In Western North Carolina From The Antebellum Period To The End Of The Civil War, Colin W. Hull
Honors Theses
This paper undertakes as study of western North Carolina and the connectedness of mountain communities as they developed and disintegrated over the course of the antebellum period and the American Civil War. The research and conclusions in this paper confront common stereotypes of Appalachia, which include individualism, backwardness, isolation, and unionism during the Civil War. These stereotypes and generalizations have been attributed to the region by early histories, outsider accounts, and popular representations and have led to a myth of an engrained mountain culture, embodying those stereotypes. Mountain communities were not stagnant and unchanged throughout the 19th century, but …
Bhabha's Hybridity And Kenyan Development: A Close Look At Banking, Land And Health, Hannah F. Tuttle, Hannah Tuttle
Bhabha's Hybridity And Kenyan Development: A Close Look At Banking, Land And Health, Hannah F. Tuttle, Hannah Tuttle
Honors Theses
What happens when two distinct cultures come into contact? During colonialism, this resulted in the practice of "othering," or the separation of colonial identity, portrayed as positive, modern and good, from colonized identity, illustrated as backward, barbaric and sinful. In this paper, I discuss the ways that Homi K. Bhabha's concept of "hybridity," or the ways that the intersection of these two spheres caused a third "hybrid" culture to arise, manifests in contemporary development practice. Based on a month of field research in Kisumu, Kenya this past January, I discuss the ways that these "hybrids" have formed at the intersection …

School Gardens: Cultivating A Child’S Nutritional Habits, Environmental Knowledge, And Sustainability Practices, Jeffrey Meltzer
School Gardens: Cultivating A Child’S Nutritional Habits, Environmental Knowledge, And Sustainability Practices, Jeffrey Meltzer
Honors Theses
School gardens have existed since the late nineteenth century and today are becoming increasingly popular in many parts of the world, including where I studied in Maine and Australia (AUS). Multiple organizations support school gardens in Maine, including the Maine School Garden Network, which has over 125 registered school gardens. In AUS, the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation primarily supports the school garden movement and has over 800 registered school gardens. While many researchers have studied school gardens, few have compared two countries, focused on environmental sustainability, or investigated Maine in particular. This thesis combines information from literature reviews, and …
"Trying To Resurrect People": Musical Theater And Theater For Social Change In Witness Uganda, Emilie Jensen
"Trying To Resurrect People": Musical Theater And Theater For Social Change In Witness Uganda, Emilie Jensen
Honors Theses
In spring 2014, the musical Witness Uganda premiered at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA. Written by Griffin Matthews and Matt Gould, the show takes on the problematic idea of aid work in the United States and worldwide. In this thesis, I look at Witness Uganda in relationship to theater for social change. Theater for social change is theater that actively works for social justice. In studying Witness Uganda, I investigate the possibilities and challenges of creating a piece of commercial musical theater that could be considered theater for social change.
La (Re)Imaginación De Una Ruta Milenaria: El Camino De Santiago En El Modelaje De Una Espiritualidad Moderna, Benjamin Lester
La (Re)Imaginación De Una Ruta Milenaria: El Camino De Santiago En El Modelaje De Una Espiritualidad Moderna, Benjamin Lester
Honors Theses
El Camino de Santiago ha visto un gran influjo de peregrinos modernos desde 1993, año en que fue declarado patrimonio mundial de la UNESCO: aquel año jacobeo vio 99.436 peregrinos en comparación con los 9.764 del año anterior. Esta tesis explora la experiencia del peregrino, considerando obras culturales que 1) han sido producidas después de 1993, fecha a partir de la cual hay mayor énfasis en una espiritualidad diferente y transformadora, según la tesis que se defiende en este trabajo; 2) trata solo del Camino francés, que es el que conecta con Europa y, por tanto, el que tiene carácter …
Co-Authorship In Action: Curation & Collaboration In American Post-Judson Dance, Sara Gibbons
Co-Authorship In Action: Curation & Collaboration In American Post-Judson Dance, Sara Gibbons
Honors Theses
This essay aims to illuminate and champion concert dance through an investigation into a sliver of American postmodern dance, which I term post-Judson dance, in an attempt to better understand, define, and assert dance in academe, art, and culture. This thesis examines the use and benefits of collaboration in today’s dance devising processes and the influences that constructed collaboration as a choreographic working method. Through historical, theoretical, contemporary, and practice-based evidence, this essay argues that through choreographer and performer participation, leading to the transformation of content, style, structure, and discovery, choreographers harvest an expansive collection of information that they use …
