Exploring The Identity Development Of Second Generation Filipino-Americans, Melody Fordan

Showcase of Osprey Advancements in Research and Scholarship (SOARS)

First-generation Filipinos come to the United States in order to start a new life, provide for their families back home, seeking to fulfill their own “American Dream”, and become U.S citizens just like all immigrants. The population of Filipino-Americans is increasing as more aspire to move to the States as many have done before. Simultaneously, cultures of both worlds blur together in one’s upbringing. Second-generation Filipino-Americans, children of at least one or both first-generation Filipino-Americans, go through leaps and hurdles in their quest of delving into their ethnic identity. One’s identity can be defined by many attributes of culture, but …

Mapping The Quixotic Imagination: Madrid In Galdos's "Misericordia", Sara Knuz-Rutigliano, Diego Salinas, Angeles Fernandez

Showcase of Osprey Advancements in Research and Scholarship (SOARS)

The project examines Pérez Galdós’s views on social regeneration of 19th-century Spain in one of his most acclaimed novels, “Misericordia”, by documenting the wanderings through 19th-century Madrid of the main characters of the novel through geolocation tools. The novel’s main character is a quixotic and self-sacrificing beggar who does not only challenge the cartographic power and the conceptualization of space imposed by a middle class seeking to control urban growth but also reappropriates civic values that had been robbed of all meaning by Spanish society at the time. From that perspective, “Misericordia” constitutes the writer’s ultimate vindication of the narrative …

Poland's Illiberal Democracy: Ethno-Nationalism & Refugees, Evan Maslin

Showcase of Osprey Advancements in Research and Scholarship (SOARS)

There are 70.8 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, cumulating in the largest international humanitarian crisis since the Second World War.

Consistent strings of xenophobic attacks resulting in physical harm or destruction have occurred across the country, thus further uncovering a pattern of deliberate acts against immigrant and refugee populations.

Managing Multilingualism In India And South Africa: A Comparison, Maddox G. Mckibben-Greene

Senior Theses

With a shared history of British colonialism, India and South Africa are two countries with levels of ethnic and linguistic diversity that have contributed to previous and ongoing language policy issues.

It will also be necessary to explore each country’s efforts to deal with language policies and will evaluate through this how to effectively measure a country’s success in managing multilingualism and language rights. …

Byron’s early political activities were more the result of propinquity and propriety than of any deep-felt enthusiasms. As Byron’s interest in political liberty refers both to personal and in abstract aspects, so his interest in social liberty concerns both individual and general relationships. So the …
