Rhetorical Resistance To Assimilation Among Cherokee Female Seminary Students, Kaelyn Ireland
Rhetorical Resistance To Assimilation Among Cherokee Female Seminary Students, Kaelyn Ireland
Symposium of Student Scholars
Throughout the nineteenth century, Cherokees invited American missionaries into their territory to establish schools where children and youth could learn the ways of Euroamericans, particularly Christianity and spoken and written English.

Distributed Authorship: A Feminist Case-Study Framework For Studying Intellectual Property, Sarah Robbins
Faculty and Research Publications
To probe one case of free-ranging textual circulation, and to address issues associated with producers' rights to textual ownership and authorial credit, Robbins examines the Americanized versions of British writer Anna Barbauld's Lessons for children. Robin states that examining multiple specific cases of distributed authorship, and linking them to contemporary textual ownership issues, may well lead to nuanced extensions of the basic framework for understanding intellectual property that pioneers in the field have already formulated.
