Technology And The Culture Of Teaching And Learning, Sean Courtney

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Faculty development professionals in postsecondary institutions face many challenges helping faculty adapt to the new forms of information technology. Chief among them is understanding how technology is forcing us to rethink current classroom practices. To aid this effort, this essay identifies and analyzes six key dimensions of traditional cultures of teaching and learning and attempts to show how technology, particularly computer-mediated forms, is transforming their meaning and potential impact.

Courts As Watchdogs Of The Washington State Initiative Process, Kenneth P. Miller

Seattle University Law Review

This Article describes the high rate at which courts have invali- dated Washington initiatives and then explores why this is so. The Article suggests that it is initiative lawmaking's Populist orientation—with respect to both its unfiltered majoritarian processes and its often—constitutionally suspect substance-that makes initiatives vulnerable to legal attack.

Women's Sense Of Place On The American High Plains, Cary W. Dewit

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

The plight of women on the American Great Plains is a familiar one to anyone who has explored the region's history. Account after account exists of women during the early years of Euro-American settlement who suffered hardship, persevered, and triumphed, or who succumbed to homesickness, lost their children or husbands, and sometimes descended into madness.² The women's historical situation on the Plains has also been popularized in fiction and dramatized or romanticized in dozens of films.³ But what of today's Plains women?

Few sources describe women's contemporary experience of Plains life. Some works have given us a glimpse …

Early Civil Rights Activism In Topeka, Kansas, Prior To The 1954 Brown Case, Jean Van Delinder

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

On an early spring day in the city of Topeka, Kansas, a father walked his child to their neighborhood school. His child was refused admission and was instructed to attend one reserved for "colored children." The parent filed a lawsuit and sued the Topeka Board of Education, demanding that his child be received and instructed at that school, regardless of race. The case went to the Kansas State Supreme Court where it became a precedent for maintaining school segregation in Topeka and other cities in Kansas. The year was 1902. Despite its outcome, this lawsuit illustrates the local-level issues and …

Was Genocide Committed In Bosnia And Herzegovina? First Judgments Of The International Criminal Tribunal For The Former Yugoslavia, William A. Schabas

Fordham International Law Journal

There are to date some six significant judicial pronouncements dealing with the interpretation and application of article 4--genocide - of the ICTY Statute: two Rule 61 hearings; the Trial Chamber rulings in Jelisic, Krstic, and Sikirica; and the Appeals Chamber decision in Jelisic. In the course of these judgments, the ICTY has made important pronouncements about the actus reus of genocide, the nature of the protected groups, the quantitative dimension of the crime, and the concept of intent.

It is now nearly a decade since international justice began examining whether genocide was committed in Bosnia. Astonishingly, the really big question-and …

Evidence of Phoenician inter-island trade during the early centuries …

Textiles : Function And Symbolism Within The Social And Ritual Systems Of Sumba, Eastern Indonesia, Jennifer A. Quincey

Honors Capstones

This thesis focuses on the place of textiles within the traditional social and ritual systems of Sumba, Eastern Indonesia; also considered is the cosmological significance of motifs depicted in these cloths as they relate to Sumbanese rituals. Textiles are cultural condensations in woven form. As such, they provide a window into the cosmologies of the people producing them. This research examines the social uses of Sumbanese textiles and also attempts to uncover dominant ritual symbols depicted therein through utilizing Turner’s analytical framework of symbolic analysis (1967:19-47). The rituals examined for this purpose are confined to marriage and funeral ceremonies. Aspects …

The Garment Industry's Best Kept Secret : Contuined Global Expansions Of Sweatshops, Wyndy Neidholt

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

Finding out the truth can hurt to the depths of one's soul. Proud American citizens have recently learned the truth of the re-emergence of sweatshops from New York to California. It can be difficult to grasp the idea that everyday in the United States people are working for far less than minimum wage in deplorable conditions. After all, American politicians frequently give advice to Third World countries on how to set up labor laws and establish safe working conditions. There are several reasons for the re-emergence of sweatshops globally. The competition for work has caused wages to decrease at a …
