Jewish Landscapes Rooted, Embedded, Enshrined, And Transcendent: Metaphor As Communicated In Jewish Museums In New York, Jerusalem, And San Francisco, Judith Stauber Dec 2010

Jewish Landscapes Rooted, Embedded, Enshrined, And Transcendent: Metaphor As Communicated In Jewish Museums In New York, Jerusalem, And San Francisco, Judith Stauber

Communication ETDs

As public places, museums negotiate authenticity and re-presentation, fact and ideology, memory and the present confronting a basic question for museums directors, curators, and visitors alike: what is the truth here? In this dissertation, the content and form of four Jewish museums are examined rhetorically: The Jewish Museum, and the Museum of Jewish Heritage: A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, both in New York City; the Holocaust History Museum at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem; and the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco. Four metaphors--rootedness, embeddedness, enshrinement, and transcendence--capture the ways each of these museums conceptualizes and presents Jewish culture.

Geographic Isolation And Poverty Among Indigenous Peoples In Nepal, Gyanesh Lama, Marth N. Ozawa, Palsang Lama

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

This study analyzed nationally representative sample of women (N =10793) to quantify the magnitude and predictors of poverty among indigenous peoples of Nepal. The study estimated the risk of poverty among the major ethnic groups in Nepal. Cross-sectional data from the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2006 (NDHS 2006) was used. Step-wise multivariate logistic regressions were conducted. The results show that significant variations exist in the risk of poverty between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples. Tamang were at the highest risk of poverty among the indigenous peoples. Controlling for geography further exacerbated the disparity between indigenous and non-non indigenous peoples. Attentions …

Creating Digital Heritage Content; Bridging Communities And Mediating Perspectives, Judith Van Der Elst, Heather Richards-Rissetto, Jorge Garcia Sep 2010

Creating Digital Heritage Content; Bridging Communities And Mediating Perspectives, Judith Van Der Elst, Heather Richards-Rissetto, Jorge Garcia

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

In this paper we focus our attention on an often overlooked aspect of digital heritage content, namely by whom how, and with what purpose such content is created. We evaluate digital materials that are anthropological and archaeological in nature, both digitized archives and newly created materials. In our work and efforts to understand and represent different cultural perspectives, we have encountered differences in cultural knowledge systems that have shown the need for cross-cultural consultation and communication as an essential first step in the creation of digital content for new systems of representation and knowledge transfer. Our efforts focus on developing …


Digital Tools, Strategic Alliances, And The Protection Of Traditional Knowledge, B Singer, Judith Van Der Elst, J Garcia Sep 2010

Digital Tools, Strategic Alliances, And The Protection Of Traditional Knowledge, B Singer, Judith Van Der Elst, J Garcia

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

This white paper provides a means for indigenous peoples to communicate current information and impacts among constituents and tribal groups. These concepts are very important in understanding how these groups disseminate policy and resource utilization impacts such as energy policies related to traditional knowledge associated to generic resources. In todays society the development of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) is imminent yet, large segments of the world remain marginalized. Our contention is that peer-to-peer and inter-institutional networks can be used to connect local with global systems to close this divide. Using today virtual and digital technologies the gap can be bridged …

A Web-Based, Searchable Database Of Orthodontic Case Files For Patient Care, Education, And Research, Philip J. Kroth, Heather J.H. Edgar, Edward F. Harris, Summers Kalishman Sep 2010

A Web-Based, Searchable Database Of Orthodontic Case Files For Patient Care, Education, And Research, Philip J. Kroth, Heather J.H. Edgar, Edward F. Harris, Summers Kalishman

Posters and Presentations

In 2005, the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology accepted a donation of 5650 unique orthodontic patient records (treatment records, dental X-rays, dental casts, intra-oral and full facial photographs) from an orthodontists practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico from 1972 through 1999. This collection includes large samples of Hispanic and Native American populations, two groups not often encountered in orthodontic training in the United States or elsewhere. While investigators can use the collection on site at the Museum for approved research, a Web-based, de-identified version of the collection is being developed with input from orthodontics students and faculty from multiple institutions, so the …

Ancestry Estimation In A Web-Based, Searchable Database Of Orthodontic Case Files For Patient Care, Education, And Research, Philip J. Kroth, Heather J.H. Edgar, Edward F. Harris, Summers Kalishman, Shamsi Daneshvari

Posters and Presentations

In 2005, the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology accepted a donation of orthodontic patient records from an orthodontist who has been practicing in the Albuquerque area since the early 1970s. This collection represents a diversity of patients not often encountered in orthodontic training in the United States. A virtual, de-identified, web-based version of a subset of the collection is now being developed. Users can search for cases with particular characteristics of interest (e.g., patient ancestry, extraction patterns, diagnoses, and cephalometric parameters), then review sequential intra-oral and Xray images to observe treatment outcomes. An innovative feature of the database is that it …


The Construction Of Blackness In Honduran Cultural Production, A. Erin Mason-Montero Sep 2010

The Construction Of Blackness In Honduran Cultural Production, A. Erin Mason-Montero

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

This dissertation investigates how marginalized communities of Afro-Hondurans are represented in literature and cinematic productions of non-black writers and film producers. Despite the efforts of the dominant Honduran community to suppress or alter the image of Afro-descendants, a small handful of Ladinos, or individuals of a mixed indigenous and Spanish background, have chosen to explore the Afro-Honduran image in their works. Chapter I, 'Through the Eyes of Another: Racial Identity in Honduras,' discusses the Honduran search for national identity during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. After experiencing periods of political and economic instability, the Honduran government began to promote ancient …

Attitudes Of Undergraduate Students Towards Same-Sex Couples Adopting, Melissa Gaa

Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs

This quasi-experimental design study examines attitudes of 87 undergraduate students in a social science major, towards same-sex couples. The participants were given one of two vignettes describing a couple interested in adopting a 5-year-old child. The vignettes were identical except that the couples orientation was depicted as either a gay male couple or a heterosexual couple. Using t-tests and an ANOVA test for difference in attitude scores, emotional stability of the parents, quality of parenting, whether the participant felt the child would experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, and whether the parents would raise the child with morals and values, …

Nowhere Man: Autoethnographic Reflections On Identity, Family, And Leadership., Tracy John Skipp

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purpose of this self study was to discover the values and attitudes I model as a leader to support people in doing their best work. Specifically, do I practice leadership intimacy as defined in this study? Leadership intimacy is defined by addressing these research questions: What values do I lead by? And, what attitudes and practices do I model as a leader? Autoethnography is a qualitative genre of research I used in this study. It describes the researcher and his or her personal experiences within a social context, in this case a research university. Autoethnography is often described as …
