Comics In Action: A Reflection Of The Dominant Narrative In World War Ii, Spencer Gutierrez
Comics In Action: A Reflection Of The Dominant Narrative In World War Ii, Spencer Gutierrez
SMU Journal of Undergraduate Research
In this paper, I argue that the propagandized use of comic books during World War II promoted views among Americans which contributed to antipathy towards Americans of Japanese and German descent. More generally, the goal of the essay is to highlight the importance of comic books as a reflection of the times – they simultaneously influence and are influenced by society’s dominant ideas – and promote the further study of such material. I examine the text and art from three comic book covers dated from 1942-1943. An analysis of these selections suggests that comic books depicted Axis soldiers as savage …
An Alternative View On The Roll-Brimmed Hat, Lauren King
An Alternative View On The Roll-Brimmed Hat, Lauren King
SMU Journal of Undergraduate Research
Why does Gudea wear the roll-brimmed hat? Neo-Sumerian period statues of Gudea, king of Lagash (c. 2100 BCE), were primarily designed to convey the leader’s piety before the gods. The traditional interpretation of the roll-brimmed hat suggests that this garment added to Gudea’s pious affect, serving as a humbler alternative to the divine horned-headdress worn by Naram-Sin, the last king of the previous Akkadian period. While acknowledging the less overtly ambitious quality of the roll-brimmed hat, I nevertheless argue that other potential meanings of this headgear have been overlooked. In particular, I take a materiality and haptic approach to propose …

Three Reasons Martin Luther King Jr. Disliked Being Labeled "Civil Rights Leader", Theodore Walker
Perkins Faculty Research and Special Events
Three reasons King disliked being labeled "civil rights leader:"
(1) He was a religious leader, a preacher (not a secular politician).
(2) He advanced "economic rights" ("civil rights" do not include "economic rights").
(3) He opposed war in Vietnam (not a civil rights issue).

The Latitudinarian Influence On Early English Liberalism, Amanda Oh
The Latitudinarian Influence On Early English Liberalism, Amanda Oh
The Larrie and Bobbi Weil Undergraduate Research Award
This paper takes the unexpected position that early liberal thought developed in transformative events within the Anglican Church during the second half of the seventeenth century. The historical evolution of religion laid the foundation of English political and intellectual philosophy, as supported by works written by the branch of Anglican churchmen known as the Latitudinarians. I will argue that these ministers were foremost in advancing the argument for religious toleration because their religious writings held political consequence. Toleration was the principle value of liberalism in the late seventeenth century because the problem of Dissenters was so pertinent to English religious …
