Recognition And Redemption: Samson, Agamemnon, And Odysseus, Lindsey Stamper Apr 2015

Recognition And Redemption: Samson, Agamemnon, And Odysseus, Lindsey Stamper

Undergraduate Research Conference

In the earliest works of literature, authors discuss the implications and qualities of human fallacy. Studying the works of The Bible, Agamemnon by Aeschylus, and The Odyssey by Homer, one can see this concept through the actions of characters. In particular, Samson, Agamemnon, and Odysseus portray the fall, recognition, and redemption of mankind. In the case of Samson, Yahweh has established the covenant of the Nazarene with him. However, he falls and breaks the covenant. Through a painful series of events, Samson eventually recognizes his faults but does not redeem himself before his tragic death. Similarly, Agamemnon falls when he …

Although it is difficult to fully understand the motivations of Freedom School teachers, this paper identifies three overarching motivations that were shared amongst the teachers: an understanding that African Americans in the South were denied equality in education, the belief that the curriculum of Freedom Schools would address this educational inequality, and …


Labor Of Love: Childbirth And Midwives In Ancient Rome, Laura Lines Apr 2015

Labor Of Love: Childbirth And Midwives In Ancient Rome, Laura Lines

Undergraduate Research Conference

In modern American society, midwives are relatively uncommon since most mothers choose the medical model of childbirth which places importance on physicians and medicine to assist childbirth. Recent medical advances contributed to the medicalization of childbirth, but how were children born in historical eras without medical technology? A focus on Ancient Rome provides one of the earliest example of medicine in childbirth. Ancient texts written during the Roman Empire demonstrate an interest in women's reproductive health as seen through Soranus' Gynecology and Pliny the Elder's Historia Naturalis. These two scientific texts offer different accounts of childbirth which guides my research. …
