The Great Awakening And Religious Freedom., Heather Cunningham

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The first Great Awakening was a series of revivals which spread through England’s mainland colonies in the mid eighteenth century. These revivals sparked the growth of sects, such as Baptists and Quakers who believed in religious freedom and separation of church and state. The growth of these sects brought a greater religious diversity, which led individuals to realize it was possible to live peacefully in a religiously diverse society. This realization led to futher demands for religious liberty and separation of church and state.

Women's Roles In Fairy Tales: A Comparison Of The Portrayal Of Women In "Marienkind" Of The Brothers Grimm And Benedikte Naubert's "Ottilie"., Astrid Munder

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Gender roles have always been and will always be, explicitly or implicitly, a topic of literature. The different ways in which gender roles are depicted in the literature of a given period reflect the political and societal state of affairs of that period. Literary works must therefore be critically analyzed to understand them in the context of their times. German fairy tales provide important examples of this. In this thesis I will examine the literary genre of the fairy tales in order to illustrate how differently female and male authors approached the topic of the woman’s role. To do so, …

Daniel Defoe And The Reform Of The English Nation: An Examination Of His Moralistic Writings., Tiphanie N. Stocks

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) advocated social and moral reform in early eighteenth century England through his novels, pamphlets, essays, and other moralistic writings. This work traces Defoe’s reform efforts by analyzing his religious education and those political actions that helped him to develop his beliefs. While Defoe’s writings reflect religious and moral concerns that were typical of the era and addressed by other polemicists, he differed from contemporary reformers in that he used fiction as well as essays and pamphlets to disseminate his beliefs. While other writers quickly followed suit, up until 1720, only Paul Bunyan in The Pilgrim’s Progress, published …

The Effects Of Feedback On The Behavioral Profile Of Preservice Teachers Across Three Educational Levels Of The Physical Education Student Teaching Experience., Joseph Scott Townsend

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The student teaching experience represents one of the most important components of a novice physical educator's preservice preparation. However, current research raises several important issues regarding the cooperating teacher's role as clinical supervisor. At the present time a less than complete picture exists of the effect of feedback using systematic behavioral data by cooperating teachers on their assigned preservice teacher in a variety of settings. This study adds to a research base that has rarely used behavior analytic designs in the past decade. A reversal to baseline research design was used to determine whether cooperating teachers could provide systematically collected …

Challenging A Tradition Of Exclusion: The History Of An Unheard Story At Harvard Law School, Luz E. Herrera

Faculty Scholarship

In a series of lectures at Harvard University, Professors Lani Guinier and Gerald Torres posited that people of color are the "miner's canary" in American society. Guinier and Torres argue that pursuing color blindness policies is dangerous because it ignores racial differences that affect every aspect of our society. According to Guinier and Torres, like the miner's canary that uses a call of distress to warn the miner of the hazardous atmosphere in the mine, the critiques people of color offer our institutions are warning signals to alert us to the presence of more systemic problems. Instead of relegating the …

Tempest In A Teacup Or The Mystique Of Sexual Legal Discourse, Dana Neacsu

Law Faculty Publications

This article is about sex; but not about sex meaning gender, an adjective, or “that thing we are.” It is about sexual behavior. It is, in Professor Franke's words, about sex as verb--“that thing we do”--or, to quote Judge Posner, it is about that “quintessential private activity [of] our culture.” However, it does not focus on sex as “the ultimate animal necessity.” That would be the realm of today's talk shows headed by Jerry Springer and his ilk. Instead, it focuses on the pervasiveness of sexual discourse in the legal realm and tries to explain the reason behind it. This …

Narratives Of Workers On The Crisis Line: Dialogic Conversations About Domestic Violence, Elizabeth A. Curry

Library Presentations & Publications

This paper is my exploratory study of the interpersonal communication between domestic violence workers who answer crisis calls and the callers who seek help. I am focusing on the perception of those who answer the crisis lines. This is part of my on-going research into the meaning and experiences of the women who work against domestic violence. There are approximately 1,900 local domestic violence programs and state coalitions in every state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. This paper is based on the experiences of women working in one local program, CASA. I will briefly compare the CASA advocates …

Applying Suggestibility Research To The Real World: The Case Of Repeated Questions, Thomas D. Lyon

Law and Contemporary Problems

One can discern two parallel trends in the law and the psychology of child witnesses. In the law, appellate courts are beginning to stem the once powerful movement to increase the acceptance of children's testimony and the admissibility of children's out-of-court statements. Lyon analyzes particular strands of each trend.

A Feminist Look At The Death Penalty, Amy E. Pope

The Historical Debate Among Leaders Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints On The Topic Of The United Nations, Katie Marie Lenhard

Theses and Dissertations

Since the inception of the United Nations in 1945, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have made public statements regarding the international peace and security organization. To the confusion of many Church members, who often look to their leaders for prophetic guidance on numerous spiritual and temporal topics, these statements have been conflicting. Some Church leaders have clearly opposed the United Nations and others have openly supported it, offering various ideological explanations for their beliefs. Yet, it is evident that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has never made an official position on the …

Organic Beef A Production Guide, Steven Mccoy

Bulletins 4000 -

Premium markets are expanding worldwide for certified organic and biodynamic beef products – those grown in accordance with recognised organic production and processing standards.

Many agricultural areas in Australia have the potential to produce organic beef, and several Western Australian and Eastern States organic producers are already exporting to Japan. Supermarkets such as Coles and Woolworths have started to build the Australian domestic market.

Converting to an organic system can be easier - requiring fewer changes - in ‘low input’ rangeland cattle production than in more intensive pasture-based or feedlot production. But regardless of the type of enterprise, managing organic …
