Entregado A Los Estudiantes: Adolescent Pedagogy As Seen Through The Theological Lens Of Latino Spirituality, Christian Arellano

Th.D. Dissertations

The Catholic secondary educational system has not considered a new challenge in implementing cultural pedagogy as its primary form of transmitting dogmatic truth to its students despite the widespread presence of modern immigrants who are not concentrated in specific parishes. Taking into consideration that Hispanic/Latinos comprise a large share of the Catholic population in America, this issue is important. The traditional forms of teaching religion in the secondary school system primarily emphasize a Euro-American style that neglects the spiritual and religious dynamics of Hispanic/Latinos. Since divine revelation does not favor a particular cultural perspective or lifestyle, all cultural pathways that …

"I'S Not So Wicked As I Use To Was:" The Interplay Of Race And Dignity In Nineteenth-Century American Drama And Blackface Minstrelsy, Sam Volosky

HON499 projects

Blackface was an extremely popular and pervasive performance type unique to nineteenth century American performance. For years, the black characters of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and The Octoroon were played by white actors in blackface makeup whereas mixed-raced characters were presented as white. These two plays, each having played a role in affecting public opinion toward slavery, do not stand out from the tradition of blackface minstrelsy and, subsequently, take part in subjugating black entertainers in the realm of theatre as well as society. The playwrights borrowed conventions of contemporary theatrical performance in order to cater to the tastes of their …
