The Leftovers, Jessie M. Roncevic 2024 University of North Florida

The Leftovers, Jessie M. Roncevic

PANDION: The Osprey Journal of Research and Ideas

Though our species is relatively young on the world time scale, we have drastically reshaped our planet and impacted many other species. Our latest advancements in AI technology could revolutionize entire industries, the environment, and society more than any other human invention. While this new technology could transform human society for the better, some have expressed anxieties over the rapid rise of an unregulated industry whose consequences on the social, political, environmental, and economic systems are difficult to predict. The impacts of advancing artifical intelligence (AI) and artificial general intelligence (AGI) technology are difficult to imagine, even for those at …

Bereavement, Abbey Schmidtgall

This piece was written to answer the question 'If we never had to feel bad emotions, would we take that opportunity?' I wanted to explore how all of our emotions contribute to our way of being and are necessary to develop us as people. I hope to flesh out this work into a longer piece of fiction someday, but right now it is a short story.


My Favorite Tree, Noelle Yew 2024 Taylor University

My Favorite Tree, Noelle Yew

English Student Projects

My story is about a tree that hates the spring. The tree is crotchety and doesn't enjoy the budding life that comes with the changing of the seasons. It enjoys winter, because it knows that winter is where it will always end up. The tree is bitter because it is so old. It has seen and experienced so much death in its life, that it hates the hope of life that spring brings with it. It has resigned itself to death and gloom.


Following The Wounded Women In Isabela, Kaisa Aquino 2024 Ateneo de Manila University

Following The Wounded Women In Isabela, Kaisa Aquino

Fine Arts Department Faculty Publications

This article examines some elements in the crafting of my novel, Isabela (2024), particularly its novelistic formation, and its take on the emblematic figure of the wounded woman in war. I demonstrate what non-conventional stylistic and conceptual decisions give the story its syncretic mode of thought, as its trail shifts from city to barrio, one category of fiction to another, and one wounded woman to the next. I also argue that all these movements and turns are necessary in the novel’s project of representation, as it envisions to narrativize the ongoing historical moment that is the people’s struggle for liberation …

SPARK Symposium Presentations

1813 was a big year for Chatsworth, although no one living there knew it. In theory, it was a year like any other. William George Spencer Cavendish, the 6th Duke of Devonshire, had inherited the estate from his father two years prior, and just a year ago had made an impressive purchase of the entirety of the Bishop of Ely’s library–his book-adoring mother, of course, would be proud. William had no marital prospects, nor would he ever. In thirteen years, he would begin work with famous architect Joseph Paxton. Unbeknownst to twenty-three-year-old William, this partnership would result in some of …

Fallen Kingdoms And Ancient Monoliths: The Influence Of Atlantis And Egypt In Tolkien’S Númenor, Charlotte J. Brockway 2024 Independent Scholar

Fallen Kingdoms And Ancient Monoliths: The Influence Of Atlantis And Egypt In Tolkien’S Númenor, Charlotte J. Brockway

Journal of Tolkien Research

In light of the recent publication of The Fall of Númenor, my essay aims to focus on Tolkien’s, somewhat underappreciated, influences on Gondor; particularly Ancient Egypt. This essay looks at Plato's Timaeus and Critias, Ignatius Donnelly's theories, and examines the Atlantean and Egyptian motifs in Tolkien’s version of Westernesse, in particular, the remnants of Atlantean civilization survived by Egyptian colonists which mirror the Realms of Exile (Gondor and Arnor).

Everyday Heroism And The Journey Of The Community In The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet By Becky Chambers, Jari Käkelä 2024 University of Helsinki

Everyday Heroism And The Journey Of The Community In The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet By Becky Chambers, Jari Käkelä

Heroism Science

This article examines the impact of everyday heroism on community in the science fiction novel The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (2014) by Becky Chambers. While science fiction often features superhuman action or scientist heroes and technocratic dystopian futures, Chambers’s novel represents the recent trend of hopepunk, which sets stories within mundane social interactions to imagine gradual positive change. Instead of its action-adventure potential, the narrative in Chambers’s novel focuses on the relationships between a multi-species crew of a spaceship, creating a heightened sense of the crew as a found family where individuals come to accept and support …
