Advances In Student Self-Authorship: A Program Evaluation Of The Community Standards Model, Klinton E. Hobbs
Theses and Dissertations
Universities are increasingly applying student developmental theories in a variety of contexts in order to better understand students and to accomplish institutional educational objectives. Robert Kegan's constructive-developmental theory has been utilized in the creation of the Community Standards Model, a program designed for use in university residence halls. The purpose of the Model is to promote student development from Kegan's third order of consciousness, in which student identity is based on a fusion of their peers' expectations and ideas, to the fourth order of consciousness, in which one becomes the author of his or her own values, beliefs, and ideals. …

The Import Of The Sensation Of The Abyss, David J. Prescott-Steed
The Import Of The Sensation Of The Abyss, David J. Prescott-Steed
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This research argues the significance of the concept of the abyss as a means to understanding key contemporary ideas such as the self, identity, reflexivity, indeterminacy, ideology, radical doubt, lack, and xenophobia.

The reflections on the abyss contained in this thesis contribute to broader research by connecting the developing concept of the abyss to …
