A Storyteller's Remove: Place-Noticing In Welty's Disturbed Landscapes, Lucy Gaines Jan 2023

A Storyteller's Remove: Place-Noticing In Welty's Disturbed Landscapes, Lucy Gaines

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mississippi author Eudora Welty’s particular attunement to her characters’ place and time earned her canonization among southern authors bound by a peculiar sense of place. Our understanding of place, though, is rapidly evolving, spreading theoretical roots across disciplines and striving to keep up with global environmental change. Adopting frameworks from ecology, sociology, and comparative literature, this work seeks out the common denominators between Welty’s sense of place and our present perspectives, training our eye to notice relationships previously unconsidered. Unmistakable throughlines in Welty’s writing and photography offer fertile grounds for tracing place theory through visual and critical analysis, and find …

"Sealed With A Kiss On Your Artery": An Archive Of Southern Lesbian Desire, Sarah Margaret Heying Jan 2023

"Sealed With A Kiss On Your Artery": An Archive Of Southern Lesbian Desire, Sarah Margaret Heying

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation examines southern lesbian feminist print culture of the 1970s-2000s, which produced some of the most intersectional work to come out of second-wave feminism— especially in terms of creative and critical challenges to anti-Blackness, classism, metrocentrism, and regional exceptionalism. A central contribution of “Sealed with a Kiss on Your Artery” is its reimagination of archival reading practices from a queer-feminist literary studies perspective. Each chapter examines the archive of a particular lesbian feminist figure and demonstrates a corresponding interpretive practice; I seek to encounter these historical figures in a manner befitting not only the facts of their contributions to …

Accepting New Clients And The Downstream Effects Of Auditor Due Diligence, Garrison Laduca Jan 2023

Accepting New Clients And The Downstream Effects Of Auditor Due Diligence, Garrison Laduca

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The auditor-client relationship begins during the client acceptance process. Before formal audit procedures occur, audit firms perform due diligence adding clients to their portfolio. Prior literature defines this due diligence phase as the auditor search period. Auditors utilize this time to increase the likelihood of a successful audit and continued relationship. The literature finds longer search periods are associated with higher engagement risks, which may be a precursor for more tumultuous relationships. However, I posit that auditors who spend more time, and thus expend more effort, engaged in this due diligence period will be more likely to identify and subsequently …

Mothers And Daughters: A Reflection On The Cyclical Nature Of Life, Greta Rose Koshenina Jan 2023

Mothers And Daughters: A Reflection On The Cyclical Nature Of Life, Greta Rose Koshenina

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis, I use nontraditional documentary methods to explore the dynamic relationship between mothers and daughters. This work is an amalgamation of autobiography, memoir, autoethnography, oral history, and photography. While autoethnography inspires me, this is not a traditional sociological study, and I do not seek to come to any ubiquitous conclusions. Rather, I present an artistic approach to the field of documentary. I diverge from traditional oral histories, constructing a cohesive narrative using transcripts from recordings of my mom and me. I sequence experimental Van Dyke Brown prints and more traditional documentary photography with poetic musings on stories of …

Transitioning From Military To Civilian Life: An Examination Of Acculturation In Veterans Previously Deployed To Warzones, Katherine Anne Lucas Jan 2023

Transitioning From Military To Civilian Life: An Examination Of Acculturation In Veterans Previously Deployed To Warzones, Katherine Anne Lucas

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The transition of veterans from military to civilian life may be conceptualized as a cultural transition (i.e., acculturation). This is based on the idea that the military contains its own culture quite distinct from that of the U.S. civilian population. For veterans, this transition presents psychological and social challenges and potential difficulties consistent with those seen in immigrants transitioning to a new country from their respective countries of origin. These psychosocial difficulties are especially pronounced in combat veterans, who experience higher rates of psychopathology compared to veterans who have not experienced combat. The current study examines the impact of warzone …

The Effects Of Social Status, Expertise, And Previous Experience On Auditor Advice Reliance, Kyle W. Outlaw Jan 2023

The Effects Of Social Status, Expertise, And Previous Experience On Auditor Advice Reliance, Kyle W. Outlaw

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Auditors often seek the advice of coworkers and others when they encounter unfamiliar areas of the audit. The quality of this advice is important, since it can determine the quality of auditor decision making. However, the quality of advice auditors receive varies as a result of varied expertise within audit firms, and it is therefore important that auditors recognize advice and source quality when making advice reliance decisions. Source quality is commonly determined by observing the characteristics of an advisor. Extant research has yet to explore how advisor characteristics, such as expertise and social status, impact an auditor’s reliance on …

Exploring Structure-Activity Relationships In Molecular Catalysts For C-H Bond Oxidation And Co2 Reduction, Zane Turner Jan 2023

Exploring Structure-Activity Relationships In Molecular Catalysts For C-H Bond Oxidation And Co2 Reduction, Zane Turner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Value-added chemicals can be generated by the functionalization of hydrocarbon substrates by C-H bond oxidation and by the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2), where each of these processes require long-lived catalysts that are selective and efficient. Chemical feedstocks such as petroleum-derived hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide are inexpensive and readily accessible but are challenging to transform into more valuable compounds. The oxidative functionalization of unactivated C-H bonds is a difficult task because they are, in general, thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert. Bioinspired iron-oxo catalysts have shown great promise in this area, but often have limited activity, selectivity, and/or stability. In this …
