Friending Our Users: Social Networking And Reference Services, Cliff Landis
Friending Our Users: Social Networking And Reference Services, Cliff Landis
University Library Faculty Publications
Social networking sites are changing the way that libraries engage their users. Sometimes called social networking software or social networking services, these Web sites are designed to let users share their lives with friends, family, and the general public. Many librarians immediately saw the possibilities in the proliferating social networks--by connecting with our users in "their space," we are making ourselves readily available and removing many of the obstacles to their information needs. As reference librarians, our first reaction to new technology is to "set up desk"--to provide the same services we have traditionally offered, only in a new medium. …
Diction And Social Strata In Charles Chesnutt's "The Wife Of Youth", Mark Benedict
Diction And Social Strata In Charles Chesnutt's "The Wife Of Youth", Mark Benedict
Graduate English Association New Voices Conference 2008
Since Charles Chesnutt was on both the color and caste lines, his linguistic precision reflects a variety of cultural aspects. In “The wife of his Youth,” one can explore the caste differences between Mr. Ryder and Liza Jane through Chesnutt‟s choice of diction. The opening of the story postpones the plot to introduce and characterize Mr. Ryder in the context of the Blue Veins Society. Once established as a Blue Vein, Mr. Ryder necessarily exhibits a more varied and more studied diction than Liza Jane. This disparity becomes a condemnation of the seeking after upward mobility at the cost of …

Hypatia Of Alexandria, Cara Minardi
Hypatia Of Alexandria, Cara Minardi
Graduate English Association New Voices Conference 2008
So I asked myself, what does it mean that there is not a single woman of note engaged in philosophy or rhetoric for more than 1500 years? The obvious answer until now has been that women during this era were oppressed and the lack of primary materials by ancient women is an indication of the reality of their oppression. In addition, feminist historiography is especially painstaking work and requires an enormous amount of time, knowledge, and/or motivation. Then, of course, even when historical women are recovered, scholars of historical rhetoric can resist newly recovered figures as meriting canonical status within …
The Epic Fantasy Life Of Molly Bloom: A Psychoanalytic Reading Of Unconscious Desire In The Penelope Episode Of James Joyce's Ulyssess, Brett Thomas Griffin
The Epic Fantasy Life Of Molly Bloom: A Psychoanalytic Reading Of Unconscious Desire In The Penelope Episode Of James Joyce's Ulyssess, Brett Thomas Griffin
Graduate English Association New Voices Conference 2008
Despite often being mislabeled as a 'stream-of-consciousness' narrative, recent archival discoveries and theoretical examinations have revealed the Penelope episode of James Joyce's Ulysses to be as scrupulously arranged as the rest of the novel. Over the course of the day, Leopold Bloom's fantasies recast the Odyssean homecoming as a modern epic. But they represent only half of the story, only half of the conflicted desires that have sundered the Bloom's marriage bed. I propose that the unconscious desires that speak through the fantasy life of Molly Bloom engage in the same Odyssean process of reclaiming and rebuilding the home visible …
Unmasking The Mask: Analyzing Caste Variations In The Lexicon Of Charles W. Chesnutt, Jeanne Bohannon
Unmasking The Mask: Analyzing Caste Variations In The Lexicon Of Charles W. Chesnutt, Jeanne Bohannon
Graduate English Association New Voices Conference 2008
Charles Waddell Chesnutt (1997) once wrote: “Speaking of dialect, it is almost a despairing task to write it.” His supposed frustration with the treatment of dialect, specifically the black plantation dialect of the 19th century, presents a view of Chesnutt‟s own treatment of written dialect in regards to lexical choices he made in his fiction. Within the constructs of 19th century America, Chesnutt‟s ability to employ black dialect as a metaphor for social change contrasts with his ambivalence in using traditional diction as a weapon to affect this transition. Many critics have postulated that the historical context of Chesnutt‟s time …
The Butler And The Minstrel: Profession, Performance And Identity, Agnel Barron
The Butler And The Minstrel: Profession, Performance And Identity, Agnel Barron
Graduate English Association New Voices Conference 2008
Both of the novels, The Remains of the Day and Dancing in the Dark, focus on the lives of their anachronistic main characters whose obsession with their professions dominates their lives to the point where it corrodes their identity and selfhood. Both novels position their protagonists in a time of transition and show their struggle to come to terms with the new realities which they face. Set in the decades of the 1930s, 40s and 50s, in a manor in the English countryside, Remains, written by Kazuo Ishiguro, depicts the protagonist‟s, Stevens, attempt to come to terms with profound changes …

"...And Poldy Not Irish Enough...": Nationalism And Ideology In James Joyce's Ulyssess, Laura Barberan Reinares
Graduate English Association New Voices Conference 2008
Following Louis Althusser‘s and Slavoj Zizek‘s analyses of ideology, then, I want to explore the representations of Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom in terms of their response to the hegemonic discourses espoused by Catholicism and Nationalism (both linked to Empire). With this intention, I will concentrate on Episode Ten, ―"The Wandering Rocks,"since from the characters‘ actions and conversations as they intersect in the streets of Dublin we can extrapolate the ideological narratives in which Ireland was immersed at the time. I suggest that the personal struggle for ideological liberation Joyce initiated with Stephen Dedalus in A Portrait necessarily led to …
"We Are All God's Madmen": The Orchestration Of Gazing In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Diana E. Sullivan
"We Are All God's Madmen": The Orchestration Of Gazing In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Diana E. Sullivan
Graduate English Association New Voices Conference 2008
To perceive how Dracula can perform his puppeteer act, it is helpful to seek answers to several questions: Who is the subject of the cinematic gaze? Who is its object? Who is experiencing pleasure? How is this pleasure achieved? What are the pleasures and consequences of gazing? Of sexual performance? These questions comprise one overarching idea: control. Who is in control? Who is being controlled? Dracula controls the other characters, narcissistically creating a blasphemous cadre of figures who worship his intellectual power and sexuality. Because they both deal in violence and control, sadism and masochism both subvert and pervert traditional …
A Prolific Writer In And "Outside" The Classroom: Blogs V. In-Class Essays, Jeremy Godfrey
A Prolific Writer In And "Outside" The Classroom: Blogs V. In-Class Essays, Jeremy Godfrey
Graduate English Association New Voices Conference 2008
The following article is a case study of Lydia, an eleventh-grade blogger. I observed her writing in Honor’s English class, and I obtained samples of her previous essays. I wanted to see if there is a pattern in the writing style of her blogs and her inclass essays. I found that blogging may influence her language, but the format of her inclass writing tends to be dictated by teachers. However, in her blogs, the author appears more open with format and style. The seemingly relaxed and informal nature of blogs may give way to deep connections between the text and …

Illustrated Mark: Aspects Of Secrecy, Danielle Gillilan
Illustrated Mark: Aspects Of Secrecy, Danielle Gillilan
Religious Studies Student Research, Projects, and Publications
One main theme within the Gospel of Mark is that of secrecy. Jesus does not permit demons to let his identity be known as he performs miracles and orders people not to tell. He also teaches in the form of parables, only revealing their meaning to his disciples. Despite Jesus' orders for people not to spread the word about his healings and miracles, the news is spread and a large crowd constantly follows Jesus. However, Jesus must reach the cross and fulfill his mission. My illustrated version of Mark highlights these areas of secrecy. Each page symbolizes Jesus' journey to …

An Instructional Approach For Improving The Writing Of Literature Reviews, Patrick K. Freer, Angela Barker
An Instructional Approach For Improving The Writing Of Literature Reviews, Patrick K. Freer, Angela Barker
Music Faculty Publications
The authors engaged in a team-teaching approach to foster improvements in the writing and evaluation of scholarly literature reviews by their graduate students in music education. A focal point of the semester-long project was the analysis and public critique of each author's dissertation literature review by the other author, using a variant of a rubric for evaluating literature reviews by Boote and Beile. Students further refined the rubric by evaluating literature reviews in current music education journals and then used the rubric to guide their own writing. Student reflections and responses were gathered through questionnaires and interviews, with indications that …

Teacher Instructional Language And Student Experience In Middle School Choral Rehearsals, Patrick K. Freer
Teacher Instructional Language And Student Experience In Middle School Choral Rehearsals, Patrick K. Freer
Music Faculty Publications
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between teacher language use and student quality of experience during choral rehearsals. Particularly at the middle school level, few data exist about the ways in which instructional discourse during rehearsals affects student experience. Existing research suggests the use of instructional scaffolding as effective in enhancing student learning and experience, but this had not been previously investigated during music rehearsals. The language of two teachers during 20 rehearsals was recorded and examined for evidence of instructional scaffolding and sequential units of instruction; student self-reports of affect, challenge and skill were correlated …

New Voices Conference 2008 Brochure
Graduate English Association New Voices Conference 2008
The 2008 New Voices Conference provides a space for exploring the current transitioning evident in the disciplines. A transitional moment is one of reflexivity, confusion, evaluation, clumsiness, an embracing of the new, and a questioning of the foundations and traditions—epistemological, ontological, professional, political, artistic—that support our current state of being. We often transition through traditions by expanding and building on our foundations, but when we question those foundations, the traditions themselves become sites of transitioning.

Along The Banks Of The Amazon: Ethnicity And Crosscultural Imaging In Jules Verne's La Jangada, Rudyard Alcocer
Along The Banks Of The Amazon: Ethnicity And Crosscultural Imaging In Jules Verne's La Jangada, Rudyard Alcocer
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications
This article focuses primarily on Jules Verne’s novel La Jangada (1881) within an evaluative and interdisciplinary postcolonial framework that emphasizes the novel’s relevance to scholars concerned with issues of ideology and visual culture in colonial Latin America. The postcolonial focus is implicated in the process of rendering visible the novel’s ideological agenda - one that addresses the role of the non-Westerner (Amazonian tribes, to be specific) in modernization. It is also foregrounded in relation to other works by Sue and Bernardin that describe Latin American “worlds” unknown to European readers and in the discussion of Léon Benett’s illustrations in relation …
Efficacy And Interest Profile Of Foreign Language Teachers During A Time Of Critical Shortage, Peter B. Swanson
Efficacy And Interest Profile Of Foreign Language Teachers During A Time Of Critical Shortage, Peter B. Swanson
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications
Teacher retention and recruitment is becoming a serious matter, specifically for foreign language educators. Five factors contributing to the shortage are discussed and two more are advanced: vocational interest and teachers’ sense of efficacy. Citing a dearth of active FL educator recruitment initiatives attempting to arrest the problem, this quantitative study (n=80) established a vocational profile of an efficacious foreign language instructor using the Self Directed Search interest inventory (Holland, 1994) and the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk-Hoy, 2001). Correlational analysis of the two instruments indicated a stable profile for highly efficacious foreign language educators. This interest …

World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications
With recent developments in multimedia recording, researchers have begun to investigate the use of technology in oral proficiency assessment. This article addresses the benefits and ease of using seven different multimedia tools to assess P-16 students’ oral language proficiency and compares traditional methods of in-class oral language assessment to out-of-class recordings. Additionally, the authors discuss the potential benefits of using technology to lower students’ affective filter, to provide teachers with a digital portfolio of student progress, and to increase instructional and preparation time.
The Riasec Profile Of Foreign Language Teachers, Peter B. Swanson
The Riasec Profile Of Foreign Language Teachers, Peter B. Swanson
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications
Vocational choice appears to crystallize during adolescence and one’s career aspirations begin to take shape later. Over 40 years ago Holland studied incoming freshman to match vocational aspirations to vocational preference profiles. Individuals seeking to become foreign language teachers were assigned a Social, Artistic, Enterprising vocational code. However, longitudinal studies were not conducted to verify if these people ever entered the teaching profession. The present study sought to determine a Holland code for inservice foreign language educators. Data analysis confirms a stable Holland profile and his earlier findings as well as highlighting interesting differences among world language educators. This study …
