Annually, Eastern Illinois University honors faculty achievements in the areas of research, creativity, and engagement. This year, the list of faculty accomplishments is again truly impressive, reflective of an engaged faculty committed to excellence and the ongoing pursuit and creation of knowledge.

Tattooing Among American Sailors And Maritime Communities From 1860 To 1945, Scott Boersma

2019 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity – Documents

It is the 1880s in Brighton, England, on the coast of the English Channel. A young boy depicts a scene of some of the men who work at sea. “Nearly all my sailor friends on the beach were tattooed. Of course, their tattoos were crude: just an anchor, a primitive attempt at a portrait of Lord Nelson or a declaration of ‘True Love’ made by some other Jack Tar ‘’teween the heaving decks of a sailing-ship’. But a few had fine tattoos, made by Japanese horis or Burmese craftsmen when their ships had docked at Rangoon or Akyab or Yokohama”.1 …

Rhapsody In Blue: An Icon Of Jazz And American Culture, Abigail Emmert

2019 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity – Documents

“Jazz, they said, has to be in strict time….I resolved, if possible, to kill that misconception with one sturdy blow.”1 Since its premiere, George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue has remained a unique icon of jazz and American culture. His childhood and experience with piano and Tin Pan Alley in New York City led him to writing Rhapsody in Blue, which resulted in the emergence of a new composition style. His determination to create a new American sound out of his experiences and to create a new approach to jazz music brought much attention and even criticism to Rhapsody. …

Revisiting The Women Factor In China’S Economy, 1918-1931 (Cotton, Sex, And Silk Industry), Godwin Gyimah

2019 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity – Documents

The first five decades of the twentieth century mark an era where China experienced an industrial revolution. Globalization of capitalism brought major changes in the Chinese economy.1 Whereas China was initially characterized as a region that produced goods mostly to be used by its citizens, now the system changed and had numerous products being sent overseas to neighboring regions. In 1919, Chinese export products increased vehemently from a value of 486 in 1918 to 631 in 1919.2 The production of goods and other services were now at the large-scale level making most sectors in China grow as an industry.3 The …

"Wild", Jeonghyun Kim

2019 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity – Documents

The “wild”, 12 layers of screen printed art work on Stonehenge fine art paper, is started from the research with the Booth Library Source.

The research was about how Degas created marks as a painter and printmaker. Degas was using rough and bold marks when he painted but still kept delicate sense of creating various textures of the subjects such as hair, ballet skirt, skin and natural objects rather than too much focusing on reality within his works. Dancer Taking a Bow (The Star) (c. 1878) and Dancers in Pink (c. 1948) are good examples. However, when it comes to …

Southern Sympathies In Illinois As Expressed Through "Nelson Versus The People", Katherine Gosnell

2019 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity – Documents

During the antebellum period, Illinois proved to be problematic for the North. Geographically, it is a Northern State. Population wise, it was split between Northern and Southern tradition. Around the Chicago area, abolitionism had a strong pull as expressed by the various colored conventions held there, as well as the variety of Whig/Republican newspapers. From the state capital of Springfield and further south, many people held Democratic view points and could sympathize with their Southern neighbors. As Illinois had slave states on two sides, it is easy to understand how these neighbors had an impact on Illinoisan culture and politics. …

Representation Of The Titanic In Children’S Literature, Charity Huwe

2018 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity – Documents

Abstract

The sailing of the Titanic and its shocking demise intrigue readers to research more information. Written in young adult literature through various viewpoints, the Titanic’s story has a natural inquiry base due to its uncertainty. Trade books in the elementary classroom are increasing in use due to the state and national initiatives encouragement in using diverse texts. By using these texts, teachers allow students to analyze the various representations given to the Titanic’s history. In the subsequent sections, I review history-based curricula and historical significance of the Titanic. The methods of implementation are projected to inform teachers about the …
