Learning Lineage And The Problem Of Authenticity In Ozark Folk Music, Kevin Lyle Tharp
Learning Lineage And The Problem Of Authenticity In Ozark Folk Music, Kevin Lyle Tharp
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
ABSTRACT Thorough examination of the existing research and the content of ballad and folk song collections reveals a lack of information regarding the methods by which folk musicians learn the music they perform. The centuries-old practice of folk song and ballad performance is well-documented. Many Child ballads and other folk songs have been passed down through the generations. Oral tradition is the principal method of transmission in Ozark folk music. The variants this method produces are considered evidence of authenticity. Although alteration is a distinguishing characteristic of songs passed down in the oral tradition, many ballad variants have persisted in …
How Newspapers' Social Media Editors In Bangladesh Use Official Social Media Accounts, Ahmed Shatil Alam
How Newspapers' Social Media Editors In Bangladesh Use Official Social Media Accounts, Ahmed Shatil Alam
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
For the last several years, the newspaper industry in Bangladesh has been using social media for disseminating news and connecting with readers. But the question remains how the social media journalists are using these social media accounts and what roles they perform every day in the newsrooms. This exploratory study sheds light on both issues through the lens of the Gatekeeping Theory. Following interviews with 13 social media journalists who worked for 11 national newspapers in Bangladesh, the study found that the overall traditional gatekeeping roles of these journalists had undergone substantial changes as they were heavily concerned about audience …
Beautiful And Terrible In The Face: Reconfiguring The Southern Beauty Myth Through The Short Fiction And Autobiographical Writings Of Eudora Welty, Katherine Elizabeth Howell
Beautiful And Terrible In The Face: Reconfiguring The Southern Beauty Myth Through The Short Fiction And Autobiographical Writings Of Eudora Welty, Katherine Elizabeth Howell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
From her personal appearance as the “ugly duckling” of southern literature, to her narrative preoccupations as a writer of grotesques, Eudora Welty has been critically separated from the realm of southern beauty and femininity. Drawing textual evidence from Welty’s strategic invocation of beauty acts and products in her short fiction and autobiographical writings, this thesis insists upon Welty’s lifelong stake in beauty culture, as it is practiced by southern women across the socioeconomic spectrum. Across her body of short fiction—a substantial portion of which was first published in women’s fashion magazines—Welty details the ways in which beauty, as expressed through …

Maurice E. Peloubet: A Life Of Impact On Accountancy And Society, Brandi Holley
Maurice E. Peloubet: A Life Of Impact On Accountancy And Society, Brandi Holley
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Maurice E. Peloubet was one of accountancy’s major players during the profession’s highly evolutionary period in the United States from before World War I to the Vietnam War. Though Peloubet spent his entire career from 1911 to 1964 in public accounting, he also promoted the profession on the academic, governmental, and international fronts. This dissertation explores his contributions to the profession of accountancy and in turn society at large. Particular focus is placed on his role in the evolution of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), his lobbying efforts before Congress concerning the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) Inventory method …

For this study, 15 RAs were selected to participate in semi-structured interviews to facilitate for further probing questions …
Post-Soul Speculation: An Exploration Of Afro-Southern Speculative Fiction, Hilary Word
Post-Soul Speculation: An Exploration Of Afro-Southern Speculative Fiction, Hilary Word
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
ABSTRACT This thesis is an examination of female authored, post-soul, Afro-Southern speculative fiction. The specific texts being examined are My Soul to Keep by Tananarive Due, Stigmata by Phyllis Alesia Perry, and Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward. Through exploration of these texts, I posit two large arguments. First, I posit that this thesis as a collective work illustrates how women-authored Afro-Southern speculative fiction based in the post-soul era embodies and champions womanist politics and praxis critical for liberation through speculative elements. Second, I assert that this thesis is demonstrative of how this particular type of fiction showcases the importance …

Carceral Matrix: Black Women's Writing In Response To Mass Incarceration, 1963-2019, Allison Michelle Serraes
Carceral Matrix: Black Women's Writing In Response To Mass Incarceration, 1963-2019, Allison Michelle Serraes
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation broadens the definition of confinement literature, a critical and developing subfield in African American literary studies. It argues that contemporary Black women writers are the early theorists of the complex and insidious reach of the U.S. prison-industrial complex. Through their probing representations of Black female characters’ interactions with state-sanctioned social control and patriarchal violence, Gayl Jones, Alice Walker, Suzan-Lori Parks, and DaMaris B. Hill expand critical understandings of confinement and imprisonment. This dissertation contends that these writers’ depictions of sexual and reproductive control as part of the developing carceral state reveal how confinement and imprisonment operate on intersecting …

News Framing In Bangladesh, India And British Media: Bangladesh Parliamentary Election 2018, Kazi Mehedi Hasan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Bangladesh parliamentary election of 2018 was a significant political event in the South Asian region, and the news was covered across the world. After the abolition of the provision of parliamentary election under the non-partisan caretaker government from the constitution of Bangladesh, it was the first election in Bangladesh in which all opposition parties participated under a party government. This study examines how media from three different countries framed the issues of the election. These systematic and quantitative content analyses of three newspapers and online resources from the countries Bangladesh, India, and Britain examined how the media framed their …

The Prosodic Profile Of Individuals With Prader-Willi Syndrome, Emma Kate Thome
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Prosody is an important component of effective communication, playing a major role in language comprehension and expression. Despite its importance, little research has examined prosody in individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a population that struggles with communication. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to compare prosodic skills in individuals with PWS to individuals with mixed-etiology intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) as well as determine patterns of prosodic strengths and weakness among individuals with PWS. Adolescents and adults with PWS (n = 9) were matched to adults with mixed-etiology IDD (n = 9) on nonverbal ability. Participants completed standardized …

The purpose of this research study was to determine the interaction effects national board certified teachers (NBCTs) and teachers with advanced degrees (ADs); while considering school accountability levels, had on student achievement. This study examined whether significant differences existed in student achievement between the eight identified groups of teachers and how the factors of NBCT status, AD status, and accountability contributed. The study examined student achievement in grades three through eight on the end-of-the-year state assessments for the 2017-18 school year.

Single Parent Success In Mississippi's Community Colleges, Craig Ellis Sasser
Single Parent Success In Mississippi's Community Colleges, Craig Ellis Sasser
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
On an average year, over 90,000 students enroll in a Mississippi community college. Until now, no data were available to identify the number of students enrolled in the Mississippi community college system who were single parents. No data were available to determine if there was a relationship between being a single parent and fall-to-fall retention. Each of the fifteen Mississippi community colleges were asked to provide data on the 2016 cohort of students. Data collected were race/ethnicity, academic program (transfer or career/technical), three questions from the FAFSA to determine a student’s single parent status, if each student was retained from …
Differential Semantics, William Michael Cox
Differential Semantics, William Michael Cox
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Differential Semantics is a theoretical accounting of the semantic complexity found in natural language, particularly that of the academic and literary registers. It addresses natural language semantics in terms of its contribution to the characterization and expression of creative thought, beginning the perception and conceptualization of objective reality, folloby the metacognitive development of idiosemantic connotations in reference to those conceptualizations, and finally, the intuitive process of implication and inference that facilitates the abstraction and communication of thought.
Perceptions Of Academic Writing From First Generation Non-Traditional Students, Margaret Jeanine Rauch
Perceptions Of Academic Writing From First Generation Non-Traditional Students, Margaret Jeanine Rauch
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Across the country, many students struggle with writing making it a national concern for society to find a solution to resolve this issue. By understanding how first generation non-traditional students perceive their own writing, educators and administrators can provide the resources to help these students achieve their academic goals. It is imperative that educators and administrators be aware of this social issue of concern and try to find the best means to help eradicate it. Higher education affords students the opportunity to become critical thinkers, command their own voices, and express their ideas. This dissertation is comprised of three manuscripts …
The Effect Of Loanword Status In Japanese On The Length Of The Vowel Inserted Between Consonant Clusters In L2 English By L1 Japanese Speakers Of English, Keiji Iwamoto
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In L2 phonological acquisition, the difference in phonotactics between two languages might result in misperception and non-target like pronunciation (Dupoux et al., 1999; Nogita & Fan, 2012). If a language does not allow consonant clusters (CC), the language speaker may perceive an illusory vowel between the two consonants in the cluster (e.g., Japanese, Dupoux et al., 1999) and also they may insert a vowel between two consonants (i.e., vowel epenthesis). Similarly, the pronunciation of loanwords when adopted is usually modified according to the phonological system of the recipient language (Kay, 1995). The current study investigates the effect of loanwords in …

Diversifying The Pipeline: Barriers That Prevent Teachers Of Color From Entering The Profession, Erica L. Avent
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Every year the number of certified teachers entering the teacher workforce is declining across the nation. This decline affects districts across the country, but it especially affects the students that these districts serve. While there is a decline in teachers overall, there is a severe decline in African American teachers. Non- Caucasian students are the largest demographic of students that attend public schools (Cherng & Halpin, 2016). In 2001, forty percent of the students in public education identified as a student of color (Ladson-Billings, 2005a). At the same time, only twelve percent of teachers were non-Caucasian. For those diverse students …
Go To Your God Like A Soldier: A Theory For Covert Intervention In Civil Conflict, Shelby Robertson
Go To Your God Like A Soldier: A Theory For Covert Intervention In Civil Conflict, Shelby Robertson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Under what conditions will a third party intervene covertly in a civil conflict? Scholars have researched the motivation and strategies used by states in third party intervention in civil war. However, little research explores the type of intervention meaning covert or overt. This paper aims to fill the gap in that literature and provide a theory and preliminary evidence to explain the conditions under which a third party would choose to intervene covertly versus overtly in a civil conflict. The domestic audience of the supported actor in the civil conflict will determine the type of intervention available to the external …

Implementing Read 180 To Increase Reading Achievement And Improve Organizational Learning, Debra Ashe Ware
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
ABSTRACT This applied research study seeks to increase reading achievement and improve organizational learning. The need to increase reading achievement among the lowest performing students became apparent after reviewing the data and discovering the high number of students scoring minimal and basic in reading achievement. Also, the need to improve organizational learning became evident with the school being given a “failing” accountability rating. Using professional learning communities, professional development training, and teacher observations, the program sought to improve teacher’s organizational learning and strategies in the classroom. Surveys, student interviews, student’s reading data, observations, and discipline data were used in the …
