Society's Perpetuation Of Oppression, Julianne Hewitt
Society's Perpetuation Of Oppression, Julianne Hewitt
English Department: Traveling American Modernism (ENG 366, Fall 2018)
The American dream was idealistically envisioned for all members of a society until some members decided to make it unachievable for select groups. It became unachievable through means of oppressing to maintain control and have no competition in regards to achievement. Oppression of various groups of individuals begins internally on a psychological level. It becomes external when the masses of society all hold a racial or gender discriminatory view and make decisions based upon that. Groups that were deemed restricted have to deal with barriers within social mobility and formal legalities such as laws specifically geared towards them. Major groups …

The New Hearth: The Creation Of A Mobile Space, James C. Mangum
English Department: Traveling American Modernism (ENG 366, Fall 2018)
The New Hearth: The creation of a Mobile Space
Mangum, James. Kutztown University, (4 December 2018).
This analysis offers an insightful look into an aspect of travel and modernity that has gone seemingly unnoticed in the culture of American Mobility. As a social product space is created to serve the function of something integral in society. Working individuals need offices for example, students need schools, and citizens need residences. These are created spaces of society that intersect the realities of life, and an automobile is how we get to and from these spaces. Modernity has allowed us to stretch the …

This research aims to explain and understand the effects that the music genre known as narcocorrido has on society, politics, and culture in Mexico and the United States. It provides a background on the history of narcocorridos and how it came be known as a symptom of the ongoing violence in Mexico. The Movimiento Alterado is also explored in this research project, as a product of narcocorrido singers who came together to glorify violence. A global aspect plays a big role in researching this topic as globalization and transnationalism reveal the complexity of politics, economics, and culture and its effects …

Throwing Our Voices: Ventriloquism As New Media Activism, Amber Day
Throwing Our Voices: Ventriloquism As New Media Activism, Amber Day
English and Cultural Studies Journal Articles
In the fall of 2010, Chevron released an ad campaign designed to respond to consumer worries about the conduct of oil companies. Each ad depicted “customers” voicing rather nonspecific concerns about oil companies, answered by the “We Agree” slogan and information about something positive the company is doing in particular communities. Just before the campaign’s official roll-out, the anti-corporate activist group known as the Yes Men produced a series of sophisticated parody ads that spoke in more detail about the damage the company has done in specific countries. Designed to be mistaken for the real, the dummy campaign was distributed …

On The Contemporary Vilification Of Scientists, Omid Miry
Quill & Scope
As an afterschool STEM mentor for the New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS), each year I introduce myself to a new cohort of New York City public school children. Before I introduce myself as a scientist in training, I ask them to pull out a blank sheet of paper and draw a scientist.
The Danger Of Dreaming About The Apocalypse, Donald Roth
The Danger Of Dreaming About The Apocalypse, Donald Roth
Faculty Work Comprehensive List
"It remains for us, then, to exegete our own social imaginary, to discern what threads are laid as part of our Christian culture and which are rooted in our national culture."
Posting about social imaginary and references to it in the book How to Survive the Apocalypse from In All Things - an online journal for critical reflection on faith, culture, art, and every ordinary-yet-graced square inch of God’s creation.

Heaven On A Bun, Eleanor Gibney
Heaven On A Bun, Eleanor Gibney
Senior Projects Spring 2018
We are told from a young age, how to act, what is polite, what is acceptable; we start living within restrictions, within boundaries. This causes our conversations to become limited and our interactions tense. To escape from these restrictions we escape to our thoughts, our own private haven where judgment is not passed.
In this project, I explore a world of my creation where the space between our physical world and mental world is bent, or in other words, the bending of fantasy and reality. Being placed in the middle of this other world, things and interactions don’t seem quite …

Bad Hair, Cicily Bennion
Bad Hair, Cicily Bennion
Inscape
My wish for society is that someday we will collectively choose to elevate girls and women with bad hair to their rightful place at the top. There would be no more looking askance at thirteen-year-olds with asymmetrical pompadours. Instead, we might enroll them in a special leadership course with an emphasis on geopolitical issues. A woman with a bad haircut is a woman who is willing to take risks. She is independent, a little impulsive, and-in many cases-frugal. She is farsighted, prepared to live with her (or her stylist's) mistakes. She understands the impermanence of hair. It is almost certain …
Black Men, Red Coats: The Carolina Corps, Race, And Society In The Revolutionary British Atlantic, Gary Sellick
Black Men, Red Coats: The Carolina Corps, Race, And Society In The Revolutionary British Atlantic, Gary Sellick
Theses and Dissertations
The Carolina Corps were both a product and driver of British military zeal during the Age of Revolution. Created in South Carolina in the final years of the American Revolutionary War, the unit was the only black fighting force that survived the conflict on the British side. Evacuated at the end of the conflict as free men, the Carolina Corps straddled the boundaries of military–civil society in the highly racialized eighteenth century British Caribbean. Although former slaves, the men of the Corps were nonetheless crucial to the defense of the region. This gave the men opportunities and legal standing that …
