Once Upon A Time...When A Revolution Evolved To A Civil War In Syria, Crystal M. Myers
The Review: A Journal of Undergraduate Student Research
This paper gives an overview of how the conflict in Syria has evolved from a revolution into a sectarian civil war. Power is maintained by the ruling Assad family through promotion of the Alawite minority within the government and military. Methods of persecution on the Sunni majority by the Assad government are discussed as well as a policy of strategic expulsion of the Sunni enclave to Idlib, a city on the outskirts of Syria (bordering Turkey).

Is Twitter a modern tool for mobilizing a social movement and inciting calls to action that are comparable to those of the past?
In many cases, the root cause of past social movements has involved some type of economic downturn, and groups of disgruntled people came together to form an opposition. Rhetorical language was ultimately used to steer the mobilization and calls to action. Similarly, social movements have predominantly been based on the idea of utilizing a single orator – one identifiable individual to help mobilize the collective ideologies and beliefs of a social group. In general, this formula has …
Reactions To Highly Publicized Sexual Assault Cases Via Twitter Over Time, Tessa Sulimowicz
Reactions To Highly Publicized Sexual Assault Cases Via Twitter Over Time, Tessa Sulimowicz
English Undergraduate
In public spaces, do reactions to sexual assault cases depict more of a victim blaming or offender blaming attitude? How has that changed over time?
Prior to collecting data, I hypothesized that I would find more Tweets portraying a victim blaming attitude rather than offender blaming. This hypothesis was ultimately derived from the research I did and the other studies I looked at.

Cs The Day: The Trading Card Game, Wendi Sierra
Cs The Day: The Trading Card Game, Wendi Sierra
English Faculty/Staff Publications
In many ways, Cs the Day: The Card Game is an ode both to academia, which is imperfect but can at times be wonderful, and to my personal passion and research interest, which has helped me to find a place within this profession. It is also, as is discussed in more detail below, an extension of an existing game, and as such embodies many of the same goals and principles of that game. Thus, designing Cs the Day: The Card Game required careful attention to how the mechanics and narrative reflect both the profession and the original game. There are …
Patricia Akhimie. Shakespeare And The Cultivation Of Difference: Race And Conduct In The Early Modern World. Routledge, 2018. 220 Pp., Deborah Uman
English Faculty/Staff Publications
In lieu of an abstract, here is the review's first paragraph:
In Shakespeare and the Cultivation of Difference, Patricia Akhimie sets an ambitious goal: in addition to exploring how race, class, conduct, and drama are intertwined in the early modern period, Akhimie seeks to show readers how to recognize the pain of racism, which she reads as “a persistent and particular kind of injustice, the signs of which are as fluid as they are injurious” (9). Despite the variability of signs of human differences and despite the promise of self-improvement offered by conduct literature, Akhimie argues that social immobility …

Let's Change The Subject: Grounding Social Change In Indigenous History And Philosophy, Robert M. Ruehl
Let's Change The Subject: Grounding Social Change In Indigenous History And Philosophy, Robert M. Ruehl
Philosophy and Classical Studies Faculty/Staff Publications
This article urges altering the discourse around social change. Too often it is antagonistic and negative; it also overlooks continuing colonizing practices and how injustices to Indigenous peoples have helped to shape past and current injustices toward other groups. First, the article foregrounds the religio-political ideology of the Doctrine of Christian Discovery and the boarding-school experience to remind readers about the broader criminal history of the United States toward Indigenous nations and peoples and how colonization is not a thing of the past. Any call for social change should remember this. Second, the article looks at three dimensions of Indigenous …
