Teaching Literature In America: Demonstrating Relevance In The Early Cold War 1945-1963, Jennifer Chalmers

Honors College

This historical research focuses on how literature was taught in American high schools in the early Cold War period (1945-1963) and why it was taught that way. It aims to discover how the Cold War culture of conformity impacted secondary literature education. What were literature teachers’ concerns? What was the historical context of these concerns, and how did they affect methods in the classroom and rhetoric in academic journals? Finally, how did methodology and rhetoric change over time? Research involved gaining familiarity with Early Cold War culture, politics, and events through secondary sources; narrowing to U.S. education in the early …

Perhaps it’s true that our fast paced society and the abundance of technology and electronic stimuli have impacted the attention span of many youth and adults, but even so, Attention Deficit is a valid disorder that significantly impacts the individuals who are diagnosed with it. There is a difference between being occasionally …

Humanizing The Humanities: A Historical, Cultural, And Philosophical Examination Of The Disintegration Of Humanities Higher Education, Nicholas Moore

Honors College

This essay is an examination of the multifaceted reasons humanities education in American colleges is losing standing and funding. Historical, cultural, and philosophical perspectives are used to analyze the grounds that have justified the decreasing levels of support for humanities education. Historically, there is no longer any external justification provided, as there was when Sputnik was launched and the Cold War was endured. Culturally, the high culture model of ascension through the accrual of cultural signifiers is no longer the dominant form of raising one’s status, as it was when the humanities could be justified as cultural initiation. Philosophically, market-based …

The University Of Maine System 2012-13 Degrees Conferred Report, Nathan J. R. Grant

General University of Maine Publications

The following report provides summary information on degrees conferred at the University of Maine System for the 2012-13 academic year. A change to the report from previous years occurred due to the way science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines are defined in the outcomes-based funding (OBF) model. IPEDS is unable to provide the level of detail necessary to show STEM degrees as defined in the OBF model, therefore the section describing STEM was removed and will be provided in a separate report. All STEM degrees conferred still appear in the aggregate. Another change is the addition of a small …
