Building On Ruins: Impacts Of Mass Violence And State-Led Repression In Indonesia, Geraldine Santoso
Building On Ruins: Impacts Of Mass Violence And State-Led Repression In Indonesia, Geraldine Santoso
International Affairs Senior Theses
How does mass violence affect perceptions of citizenship? What are the impacts of mass violence and state-led repression on post-colonial political economies? This thesis focuses on the impact of mass violence on the perceptions of citizenship and the political economy of Indonesia. After the Indonesian 1965-1966 mass murders and subsequent state-led repression under General Suharto, perceptions of political and civic identity and political participation were fundamentally changed– where Chinese Indonesians, despite their economic power, are politically disenfranchised and PKI/PKI affiliated pribumi (native) Indonesians are neither politically nor economically empowered.
Capitalist expansion also serves as a critical motive for mass atrocity …

Honors Projects
The Kingdom of Hawai’i was annexed by the United States of America in 1898 and was given statehood in 1959. Prior to its annexation, the Kingdom of Hawai’i had a legitimate functioning government with sovereign recognition from many in the international arena, including the United States, as early as 1840.

A preponderance of evidence, including explanations of the preexisting Hawaiian political …

Explaining The Persistence Of Female Genital Mutilation In Egypt, Kristen R. Darling
Explaining The Persistence Of Female Genital Mutilation In Egypt, Kristen R. Darling
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This project examines the persistence of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Egypt, despite a legislative ban on the practice in 2008. Between 100 and 140 million girls and women worldwide have undergone FGM, with 27.2 million women cut in Egypt alone. The procedure involves the alteration of aspects of the female genitalia, including removal of the clitoris or narrowing of the vaginal opening. While many contend that the practice continues because of traditional, cultural, or even religious norms, I argue that FGM remains prevalent in Egypt because of a widespread lack of education on the subject, exacerbated by the educational …
