The Struggle For Knowledge: The Case Of Emergent Oromo Studies, Asafa Jalata

Sociology Publications and Other Works

Taking the Oromo as historical actors, the emergent Oromo studies identify some deficiencies of "Ethiopian studies" that primarily focus on the Amhara and Tigray ethnic groups and their rulers, and ignore the history of the Oromo people. Many Ethiopian and Ethiopianist scholars do not recognize the positive cultural achievements of this people.' With their colonization and incorporation into Ethiopia, the Oromo could not develop independent institutions that would allow them to produce and disseminate their historical knowledge freely. Currently, they are fighting for national self-determination: to regain their political freedom and rebuild independent institutions.

Morgan Le Fay As Other In English Medieval And Modern Texts, Sandra Elaine Capps

Doctoral Dissertations

In this study the presence and power of Morgan Ie Fay will be re-examined as an ever-shifting figure of alterity in both medieval and modern texts. Using cultural materialist studies, the character of Morgan will be examined against contemporary medieval culture in four medieval texts -- Vita Merlini, Layamon's Brut, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Le Morte Darthur -- that span the mid-twelfth to the late fifteenth-centuries. Her presence in the modern texts Gate of Ivrel and Mists of Avalon will be read against a feminist agenda, analyzing her increased visibility and voice in …

Building The Back Of Beyond: Government Authority, Community Life, And Economic Development In The Upper Little Tennessee Valley, 1880-1992, Stephen Wallace Taylor

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation investigates the relationships among government authority, community life, and economic development in the Upper Little Tennessee Valley. This area saw extensive growth during the first quarter of the twentieth century because of the exploitation of its timber and mineral resources. These industries introduced transient families into the area, contributing to the fragility of the economic and social structure. These transient families, like the longtime residents, embraced the regular paychecks industrial employment offered, and willingly participated in the exploitation of the area's resources, sacrificing long-term sustainable growth for the short-to-medium-term security of a cash income.

Following that period of …

A Conditional Reasoning Approach To Measuring Relative Achievement Motivation: Validation Results From An Applied Setting, Darren H. F. Smith

Doctoral Dissertations

This study presents the first attempt to validate a new approach to measuring an individual's relative achievement motivation in an applied setting. The new measurement approach which utilizes conditional reasoning differs from other self-report measures in that it capitalizes on the respondent's subjective processes of interpreting and framing information and developing a causal model to explain the information they are presented with in order to arrive at a logical conclusion. In this study, relative achievement motivation as measured by the Conditional Reasoning Test was not found to be related to individual patrol officer activities. However, a number of patrol officer …

Portraits Of Progress In New South Appalachia: Three Expositions In Knoxville, Tennessee, 1910-1913, Robert Douglas Lukens

Masters Theses

The following work is an examination of three expositions held in Knoxville, TN: The Appalachian Expositions of 1910 and 1911 and the National Conservation Exposition in 1913. World's fairs were ubiquitous across the United States at the turn of the century, but these were the first to be held in the southern Appalachian region. Thus, they provide a rare opportunity for the historian to examine society in a condensed time frame. Although this method has been applied to other expositions at other times, it has yet to be applied to southern Appalachia.

The goal of this thesis is to ascertain …

The Papers Of Andrew Jackson: Volume V, 1821-1824, Andrew Jackson

The Papers of Andrew Jackson

This fifth volume of The Papers of Andrew Jackson documents Jackson’s retirement from the military in 1821 and his emergence as the leading presidential candidate in 1824, winning a plurality of popular and electoral votes over John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, William H. Crawford, and John C. Calhoun. In the interim, he served a troublesome few months as governor of Florida and thereafter enjoyed a brief retirement at the Hermitage before the Tennessee legislature called him again into service as United States senator.

The tension between Jackson’s longing for retirement and his dedication to public service forms the main theme …

Front Matter, Alice G. Brand (Editor)

The Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning

Editor's Message

Many of us come out of formal and advanced training in writing. We are at home with the humanities: philosophy, drama, the arts, aesthetics. We connect easily to both the teaching of literature and to literary exegesis. Ideas about literacy come easily to us.

We need to be aware of work being done in the field outside our focus in writing, literature, and language. Connections need to be made between us and other members of our cultural tapestry. Every once in a while someone tells me about the name of a book, an organization, or a journal that …
