Uneasy Is The Head That Imagines The Burden, Michael Adelson
Uneasy Is The Head That Imagines The Burden, Michael Adelson
Richard T. Schellhase Essay Prize in Ethics
This paper deconstructs and criticizes the very notion of “an obligation to help humanity.” I argue that such an idea of an obligation is an evolution of the ideas that emerged in the 19th century regarding the “white man’s burden.” Referencing historical allusions to the 19th and 20th century European ideas of the white man’s burden, the concept of a greater obligation to help others can be demeaning and self-aggrandizing, creating a modern, updated “new white man’s burden.” As dispositively confirmed through my own anecdotal experiences in higher education, an obligation to help humanity, specifically non-white peoples, …

Watch Your Language! A Foundational Course Exploring Language Of Gender And Sexuality, Raeann Risko
Watch Your Language! A Foundational Course Exploring Language Of Gender And Sexuality, Raeann Risko
Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies Summer Fellows
How do language and word choice influence the way people think about gender and sexuality? This question is addressed through a syllabus for an entry level college course, which includes suggested readings and activities along with explanations and advice for instructors. This course provides a foundation for understanding the power of language and the impact that the vocabulary used to describe people in relation to their gender and sexuality has. The purpose of the course is to offer an interactive guide for students to consider the many different ways that words may be used or misused, understood or misunderstood. This …
Freedom Of Speech At Ursinus College, Benjamin Henwood
Freedom Of Speech At Ursinus College, Benjamin Henwood
Business and Economics Summer Fellows
Freedom of speech is a hot topic issue on many college campuses across the United States. My research project’s goal is to find out how our community at Ursinus College feels about freedom of speech. My project is going to explore how well Ursinus holds itself to its standards of free and open inquiry and how the students on campus feel about free and open inquiry. In order to understand how the community feels about free speech on our campus, we borrowed a survey from the Foundation of Individual Rights in Education and distributed it to roughly half of the …

Talking About Race In The College Classroom: An Analysis Of Facework, Katelyn Doherty
Talking About Race In The College Classroom: An Analysis Of Facework, Katelyn Doherty
Media and Communication Studies Presentations
A review of research on talking about race in the college classroom revealed that scholars have focused on identifying students’ struggles and considering the impact of intense discussions have on students. Specifically, Miller and Harris (2005) found that White students struggled with feeling that their opinion on racial issues mattered and with learning to accept their privilege, and Sue et al. (2009) found that Black students struggled to feel understood and with the pressures they felt were placed on them by students and instructors. Because these discussions have been found to involve conflict, disagreement, and discomfort, this study seeks to …
