Mere Mathematics: The Role Of Mathematics In The Apologetic Works Of C.S. Lewis, Matt D. Lunsford
Mere Mathematics: The Role Of Mathematics In The Apologetic Works Of C.S. Lewis, Matt D. Lunsford
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the 20th century and arguably the most influential Christian author of that period. In spite of his own personal lack of success in the area of mathematics, C.S. Lewis exhibited a lofty appreciation of the discipline as demonstrated by numerous references to mathematics and to mathematical objects, and by his recurrent use of mathematical terminology in his apologetic writings. This paper will explore two broad categories of the role of mathematics in these works: 1) the relationship between mathematics and certain laws, and 2) the use of geometry …
Sucking Life: The Principle Of Hell In C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters, Kimberly Moore-Jumonville
Sucking Life: The Principle Of Hell In C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters, Kimberly Moore-Jumonville
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
Screwtape’s training of Wormwood in the art of deception exposes the tempters’ desire to consume “the other” completely into the self. This insatiable appetite to devour is revealed to be the ruling principle of Hell, where one must eat or be eaten. As competitors, Screwtape and Wormwood can never comprehend the reality of Heaven, which exists by the opposite principle. If the rule of Hell is to consume the other, the rule of Heaven is to serve and celebrate the other. In The Screwtape Letters C.S. Lewis succeeds in depicting the choice to succumb to appetite or submit to a …
Human Enhancement And The Abolition Of Man, Stephen A. Phillips
Human Enhancement And The Abolition Of Man, Stephen A. Phillips
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
Over 60 years ago C.S. Lewis wrote a book about the importance of values in education. In The Abolition of Man Lewis began by exploring the importance of values in education, but by the end Lewis addressed how the relentless pursuit of the conquest of nature divorced from traditional values could result in the conquest of mankind by nature and the destruction of what it means to be human. However, what he imagined might happen by the hundredth century A.D. is beginning to be possible in the twenty-first. Preliminary successes in gene therapy suggest that germ line gene therapy capable …
The End For Which We Are Formed: Spiritual Formation Through C.S. Lewis, Robert Moore-Jumonville
The End For Which We Are Formed: Spiritual Formation Through C.S. Lewis, Robert Moore-Jumonville
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
For years readers have practiced spiritual formation through C.S. Lewis, without using that term. This paper first will lay out Lewis’s definition of spiritual formation. We have no choice whether or not we are being formed spiritually. The soul of each of us is shaped through the sum of our creaturely choosing: choices which are transforming us moment by moment into either a more heavenly or more hellish being. Always pastoral in his concern, Lewis offers a compelling spiritual theology of human nature. As spiritual mentor, he wins us over by willingly siding with us in our trenches of battle. …
Owen Barfield: Un-Regressed Pilgrim, Edwin Woodruff Tait
Owen Barfield: Un-Regressed Pilgrim, Edwin Woodruff Tait
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
This paper will use C.S. Lewis’s The Pilgrim’s Regress to compare Lewis’s understanding of the spiritual life with that of Own Barfield. I will argue that the eponymous “regress” reflects Lewis’s belief (post-conversion) that the imagination did indeed point to truth, but that this truth could not be reached by the imagination directly but only by a humble submission to the eternal truth of historic, orthodox Christianity. Barfield, on the other hand, continued to believe that one could (using the terms of the Regress) sail directly to the Island in the West without returning to the “Landlord’s Castle.”

Adolescent Transformation In The Short Stories Of Carson Mccullers, Ashley-Ann Dorn Woods
Adolescent Transformation In The Short Stories Of Carson Mccullers, Ashley-Ann Dorn Woods
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Carson McCullers's neglected short stories "Sucker", "Like That", and "The Haunted Boy" depict stark adolescent crises. Her character analyses dramatize important elements of many theories of adolescent psychology. Each of these stories depicts what happens when something goes horribly wrong in the course of an already difficult stage of life. In "Sucker" two different stages of adolescent development collide. Pete and Sucker go through different psychological adjustments. The two boys discover the difficulties of adolescent romance, hero-worship, peer group formation and exclusion, and power reversal. The narrator in "Like That" struggles with her Peter-Pan complex as she witnesses her sister …
Water-Babies, White Rabbits And Lost Boys: Examining The Victorian Age Through The Lens Of Children's Literature, Elizabeth Carpenter
Water-Babies, White Rabbits And Lost Boys: Examining The Victorian Age Through The Lens Of Children's Literature, Elizabeth Carpenter
Lawrence University Honors Projects
Children’s literature has been studied throughout its existence, and is a valuable tool for examining the issues of the time periods in which they are written, however they can also be used as lenses through which to critique the societies in which they exist. My project examines Charles Kingsley’s Water-Babies, Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There and J.M Barrie’s Peter Pan as vehicles of social critique and commentary. All three stories present interesting main characters who act as foils for the issues their authors deal with, from the debate over evolution, …
Ophelia's Mistreatment And Ignored Monastic Opportunities, Danielle Tovsen
Ophelia's Mistreatment And Ignored Monastic Opportunities, Danielle Tovsen
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)
Thesis: I will argue that Ophelia could have saved her own life if she had left home and fled to a nunnery; the treatment she received from Laertes and Polonius was worse than Hamlet's treatment of her throughout the play and especially in Act 3 .1. Through thorough research, the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, is explored. This thesis specifically focuses on the character of Ophelia and Ophelia's relationships with Hamlet, Laertes, and Polonius. Through the examination of Ophelia, with a literature review of Ophelia's reputation amongst scholars, the argument is made that Hamlet's treatment of Ophelia is one of …
Perceptions Of Faculty Caring: Comparison Of Distance And Traditional Graduate Nursing Students, Lea R. Hall
Perceptions Of Faculty Caring: Comparison Of Distance And Traditional Graduate Nursing Students, Lea R. Hall
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The concept of caring has played a vital role in nursing education. Role modeling has been identified as the primary way to teach caring and has been investigated extensively. As caring has evolved, so has the ways in which we educate nurses. Countless institutions now offer distance education programs in nursing in an effort to address the nurse and nurse educator shortage. It is unclear, however, from the nursing education literature if the modeling of caring can be transferred to students in a distance learning environment. This study investigated the impact of learning environment, program satisfaction, and persistence on graduate …

The research was conducted on the campus of Indiana State University. This is a public higher education campus whose University Honors Program …
“Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, And Derision”: Carroll's Use Of Mathematics And Literature To Critique Victorian Britain., Diana Schneider
“Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, And Derision”: Carroll's Use Of Mathematics And Literature To Critique Victorian Britain., Diana Schneider
Renée Crown University Honors Thesis Projects - All
This thesis examines Lewis Carroll's writing through the lens of mathematics, arguing that Victorian mathematical theory and pedagogy are crucial contexts for understanding his literary works. Carroll is generally regarded as an author who specialized in works of literary nonsense such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Little attention is paid to his career as a mathematician at Oxford, yet mathematics occupied a considerable amount of his time and consumed his thoughts, as evidenced by his diaries and letters. This thesis therefore addresses a gap in Carroll scholarship and bridges two academic disciplines rarely brought together. Chapter One argues that Alice's …
The Correlation Between Academic Achievements, Self-Esteem And Motivation Of Female Seventh Grade Students: A Mixed Methods Approach, Karen Henman
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
During the early grades, female students generally display enthusiasm for learning science. As these same students go though school, however, their level of motivation changes. Once female students reach high school, many lack the confidence to take chemistry and physics. Then, in college they lack the background necessary to major in chemistry, physics, and engineering. This study used quantitative data to investigate the correlation between female students' motivation, self-esteem, and standards-based state science achievement tests combined with a qualitative survey of student’s perceptions of parents’ attitudes toward science. The Children’s Science Motivation Inventory (CAIMI) determined students’ levels of motivation toward …

Working Rhetoric And Composition., Bruce Horner, Min-Zhan Lu
Faculty and Staff Scholarship
Given the multiple meanings of rhetoric and composition, as well as the vexed history of institutional relationships between these two terms, it is important for scholars to trace how they are “worked”—that is, how they materially function—in a variety of specific circumstances.

The Connection Between Humans And Things In Tim O’Brien’S The Things They Carried, Allison Polster
The Connection Between Humans And Things In Tim O’Brien’S The Things They Carried, Allison Polster
Renée Crown University Honors Thesis Projects - All
Most will remember Tim O’Brien’s Vietnam War narrative, The Things They Carried, for its exploration of the war experience of American soldiers and for its original style and form. While less conspicuous, O’Brien also provides a complex account of the role of things in relation to his characters throughout the collection of short stories. In my paper, I argue that the soldier characters depend on things to help them survive the war (physically and mentally) and that this strong dependence on things ends up having a damaging effect on the men. The soldiers’ fixation on things plays a key …
The Return Of The Native American Soldier: Oral Storytelling And Healing, Theresa Kraisinger
The Return Of The Native American Soldier: Oral Storytelling And Healing, Theresa Kraisinger
Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice
Native American healing focuses on curing all aspects (physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually) of a sick individual. Spiritual healing is unique to Native American cultures, often requiring unexpected healing techniques. Those who are spiritually ill are disconnected from their community and the world around them because of various obstacles that have thrown them off balance. Various ways exist to help heal the spiritual needs of a person; however, the most popular ways is through oral storytelling. Oral storytelling, a tradition passed down by hundreds of generations in Native American culture, is used to remind sick individuals where they come …
Inhabiting Modernism: Pernes, Portals, And Yeats’S Transitive Force, Daniel Gomes
Inhabiting Modernism: Pernes, Portals, And Yeats’S Transitive Force, Daniel Gomes
Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
W.B. Yeats’s tentative entry into modernist poetics is often ascribed to his residence with Pound, to the dynamism of Vorticism, and to the turbulent social upheaval in Ireland and abroad during the early decades of the twentieth century. Without denying that such events contributed to Yeats’s marked stylistic shift in Responsibilities (1914), this thesis examines how Yeats’s antithetical impulse is heavily informed by Blake and Nietzsche and has direct bearing for how we read Yeats’s poetics through change and “transition.” Concurrent with his passive adjustment to, and resistance against, external forces and change, Yeats’s affirmation of pre-subjective forces, apocalyptic …
Violets, Xu (Sherry) Wang
Violets, Xu (Sherry) Wang
Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Violets is a multi-genre work that explores the complex relationships of Chinese women from the 1980s to the present day as they move through different settings—from the countryside of Zhejiang province, to the metropolis of Jiaxing city, to the suburbia of Omaha, NE. It was inspired by a story heard by the author about a Chinese woman whose husband left her for a year because she had a daughter instead of a son. Half of Violets is made up of a sustained, imagined story about a woman named Xinling and the year she spent as a single mother. It explores …
The Annie Prey Jorgensen Papers: Nineteenth-Century Writing Instruction And Women's Rhetoric On The Plains, Renee Mcgill
The Annie Prey Jorgensen Papers: Nineteenth-Century Writing Instruction And Women's Rhetoric On The Plains, Renee Mcgill
Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
This dissertation examines the college and professional writing of Annie Prey Jorgensen, who attended the University of Nebraska during the 1890s as both an undergraduate and graduate student. Annie’s collection of papers, housed in Archives and Special Collections at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries, offers composition and rhetoric significant insights about women college students’ rhetorical practices at the end of the nineteenth century. Specifically, Annie uses personal experience and narrative techniques to deploy a feminist rhetorical strategy that allows her to inscribe gendered experience into academic writing. Annie’s collection offers a cross-section of writing from three sites of inquiry—the papers …
Professors With Criminal Records: Criminology & Criminal Justice Students Views On Former Convicts As Professors, John Frana
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As America’s incarceration binge begins its fourth decade, one unintended consequence of this social policy has been a growing number of criminologists/sociologists who have personal experience with incarceration as many former convicts have been pursuing education as an avenue for successful re-entry. Some of these ex-convicts have begun to secure PhD’s and have been conducting research as well as teaching various university courses in Sociology and/or Criminology and Criminal Justice. Within this thesis the myths maintained by society surrounding crime and prisoners will be discussed. Using survey research, students majoring in Criminology and Criminal Justice (n = 186) at ISU …
Terrorizing The ‗Fortress Of London‘? German Bombings, Public Pressure, And The Creation Of The British Home Defense System In World War I, Brandon Platt
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Aeronautical warfare played a greater role in the First World War than initially given credit, forcing the British government over time to develop a competent ‗Home Defence‘ system to ward off German bombings and satisfy the British public‘s pressure for protection. By juxtaposing early aerial history with the British public‘s perceptions and the government‘s response, this study reveals a vital transition in the nature and perceptions of warfare during the First World War, providing a socio-military perspective rarely seen in pure military or social histories. Debunking the misconception of the reliance of aerial warfare for just scouting and reconnaissance, this …
Now Was Then, Then Is Now: The Paradoxical World Of Fahrenheit 451, Michael R. Labrie
Now Was Then, Then Is Now: The Paradoxical World Of Fahrenheit 451, Michael R. Labrie
Pell Scholars and Senior Theses
In the following essay, through the analysis and interpretation of Ray Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, I will create a juxtaposition of the world that we live in today and compare it to the eerily similar version known as Elm City, in which Bradbury creates a dark representation of 21st century America. This essay will carefully analyze and interpret themes, symbols, and futuristic inventions in which Bradbury claims he was, “Trying to prevent futures,” as well as bring everyday uses and patterns of today’s society to light, revealing the prescient and prophetic text in which the novel encompasses
