A Cultural View Of Music Therapy: Music And Beliefs Of Teton Sioux Shamans, With Reference To The Work Of Frances Densmore, Stephanie B. Thorne

Graduate Thesis Collection

At the end of World War II, doctors trained in the western bio-medical tradition integrated music into their practice as a means of helping soldiers recover, both mentally and physically, from the atrocities experienced while overseas. For many, music was a solace, opening up the peaceful memories of home and family and pushing aside the war-torn landscapes. By establishing interpersonal relationships between the therapist and the patient, as well as patient-to-patient in group settings, music enabled feelings and emotions to flow freely. The mind was given a structured pattern to bridge the gap of the psychological and physiological experience. It …

Alternative Spring Break And Social Responsibility Is There A Relationship?, Judith Angela Biggs Garbuio

Thesis, Dissertations, Student Creative Activity, and Scholarship

Humans are living in a complex, interdependent, global society.

Social And Environmental Factors Contributing To Stereotypic Behavior In The Spectacled Bear, Dana Marie Varble

Honors Theses

Stereotypies have many causes and contributing factors. Often overlooked is the importance of social and environmental factors such as weather, pen design, social interaction, feeds and feeding schedule, and early childhood experiences.

This research revealed the importance of social and environmental factors in interpreting the causes of stereotypy in one captive spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus) at the St. Louis Zoo.

Offshore And "Other" Shore Asset Protection Trusts, Eric Henzy

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The Portnoy, Brooks, and Lawrence cases demonstrate that under the right facts and circumstances, courts can and will enter orders finding spendthrift provisions of asset protection trusts invalid. These cases and this Article discuss a path that a bankruptcy court may follow to find that property transferred to an asset protection trust is property of a bankruptcy estate. Such a finding may lead to effective remedies for creditors, such as denial of a discharge to a debtor, orders compelling a debtor to direct a trust trustee to transfer assets, with contempt orders if the debtor fails to comply, and, possibly, …

Habitus Wars And Field(S) Of Dreams: Using Bourdieu To Reframe The Sense Of A Crisis, Louann Hofheins Cummings

Student Scholarship

The paper illustrates the application of Pierre Bourdieu's oeuvre to a qualitative research project regarding organizational change. Considerable attention is given to the interaction of field delineation, capital stakes struggle, interests, and individual/class habitus at both a church and a medical college. It is posited that a focus on field analysis considers the sources of capital struggle in a given realm. This, in turn, grants a researcher a new way to analyze who participates in these struggles, what prized capital stimulates interest, and how action and prctices are subsequently engendered. This body of work suggests that agents and/or classes have …
