Making Wku A Fair Trade University, Matthew John Vaughan
Making Wku A Fair Trade University, Matthew John Vaughan
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Many products consumed on college campuses such as coffee and chocolate come from developing countries where producers are often paid insufficiently and exploited. Fair Trade certification of products guarantees producers a fair price and other social benefits. The objective of my CE/T project is to initiate a successful campaign to increase awareness of Fair Trade among students at WKU and gain "Fair Trade University" recognition for WKU. My efforts have included establishing a permanent Fair Trade Steering Committee, organizing campus-wide awareness events and partnering with campus groups to promote Fair Trade education and awareness. In this final account, I review …

Masculinity In Musicals: A Comparison Between The 1950s And Present Day, Emily M. Eisenbrey
Masculinity In Musicals: A Comparison Between The 1950s And Present Day, Emily M. Eisenbrey
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
This project compares and contrasts ideas of masculinity in musicals from the 1950s to those of present day. Current musicals have allowed for more expressions of masculinity while musicals from the 1950s provided a narrower definition of masculinity. This paper explores the current perception that straight men don’t enjoy musicals and breaks down why this perception exists. Multiple lines of evidence are used to examine the connection between masculinity and male audience attendance of musicals. These lines of evidence are: masculinity research, script analysis, performance analysis, reviews of musicals, and original surveys.

The Transformation Of A Shire: Local Negotiation In The Society For Creative Anachronism, Suzanne Barber
The Transformation Of A Shire: Local Negotiation In The Society For Creative Anachronism, Suzanne Barber
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
In this thesis, I am examining how a small branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Loch an Fhraoich, whose values and identity center around camaraderie and narrative and aesthetic coherence, attempts to balance these two often contradictory principles. To better illustrate the negotiations taking place, I have used ethnographic fieldwork to focus on the areas of material culture, ethno-kinetics, persona, knowledge, and events. These areas are tightly interwoven, and almost never operate independently, but the exercise of isolating them is useful in seeing the complexities of choices that members must make to navigate the social world of the Society …
