Towards A Framework For Reproductive Violence”, Caitlyn Kelty-Huber

Since the inception of ecofeminist discourse in the 1970’s, ecofeminists and feminists alike have been divided on their stances toward the ethics of consuming the bodies and by-products of other animals. A powerful cohort of ecofeminists, in part comprised by such scholars as Marti Kheel, Lori Gruen, Greta Gaard, and Carol J. Adams, have done a tremendous amount of work to situate a concern for more-than-human animals within ecofeminism and beyond. Unfortunately, as Cusack highlights, feminism’s failure to both recognize the parallel oppression of “dairy” cows and female farmed animals, and to thoughtfully incorporate that knowledge into feminist praxis has …

Ghost Stories: Race, Immigration And Radicalism In Barre, Vermont, Elizabeth D. Swasey Ma
Ghost Stories: Race, Immigration And Radicalism In Barre, Vermont, Elizabeth D. Swasey Ma
All Student Scholarship
This thesis investigates Men Against Granite, an oral history project undertaken by the Writer's Program in Barre, Vermont in the late 1930's and 40s. Thirty years earlier , Barre was an important site in the transnational Italian Left, but the Men Against Granite interviews present a curiously depoliticized place. The following pages explore national and local rhetoric that formed a composite "radical Italian," a racialized identity that set Italian immigrants apart and legitimized state repression . In response, second-generation immigrants , including project writer Mari Tomasi, used the interviews to reshape themselves and their pasts as "American," in part by …
Eyre, Andrea Lesley Adams Mfa
Eyre, Andrea Lesley Adams Mfa
All Student Scholarship
Charlotte Bronte's semi-autobiographical 1847 novel Jane Eyre is the source inspiration for EYRE, an illustrated adaptation . EYRE takes the protagonist Jane, an orphaned governess, and places her in a fantastical construct which bridges the worlds of 19th century Japan and England. Jane's story becomes one of an unexpected warrior battling the dark demons of alienation and desire which populate her psyche. Characters are reinterpreted as mythological creatures from within the Japanese spiritual pantheon.

The Reluctant Hipster: A Subculture Striving For Self Identity In A Changing World, David Jester Ma
All Student Scholarship
What is the Hipster subculture? This is a question that has plagued me for some time. I sit in a bar and hear patrons discuss hipster's with disdain, while at other bars I notice a comfortable hipster atmosphere , but still, the question lingers in my mind, what is HIpster? I recognize those categorized as hipster identify fashion trends which are attributed to hipster's, and even discern bars, restaurants, and businesses which cater to the Hipster demographic, but still, what does all this mean? What is hipster subculture, and how does it interact with the community?
No Invented Mystery, Blake Love Mfa
No Invented Mystery, Blake Love Mfa
All Student Scholarship
This collection of poems is comprised of many recollected experiences that are personally revealing about me, both as poet and person. I often explore the dynamics of domesticity between queer men and detail the dissolution of coming together with another. Laughter as a means of subverting or avoiding trauma is a theme that runs throughout my thesis. It is intended to be read like one might view a mosaic. The narrative threads tie together by its end to tell a story that speaks to a sense of abjection and otherness many of us carry. To temper the intensity of the …

The Gospel, Reinvented: A New Addition To The Jesus Of Alan Watts, Weston Masi
The Gospel, Reinvented: A New Addition To The Jesus Of Alan Watts, Weston Masi
All Student Scholarship
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and expand the ideas of one of the most widely acclaimed religious thinkers of the twentieth century, Alan Watts. Watts attempted to use Eastern religions as a lens for reinterpreting the message of Jesus's gospel. Watts proposed that Jesus's experience of consciousness was not unique unto himself; furthermore, he asserted that any person can achieve Jesus's level of divinity once he understands that everything, oneself included, is a manifestation of God. To further Watt's claim I bring in an ancient Christian source which was unavailable to Watts during his lifetime-the Gospel of …
