Rural Whiteness, Realizing Race: White Race Identity In Rural Northwestern Pennsylvania: A Critical Review, Gloria Adams

Honors Papers

In studying race, specifically whiteness, in northwestern Pennsylvania, I am speaking of my own experiences and my own identity. In searching for the truth behind race issues and white identity in this place, I must implicate myself in perpetuating racist attitudes and social structures, if not only for my own ignorance of diverse cultures. Like all whites I cannot escape my white skin and the privileges I receive because of it, but I can question that privilege, in an effort to understand my position and enact anti-racist change. This ethnography of whiteness in northwestern PA is as much about myself …

Word Is Born: Critical Gaps And The Poetics Of Hip-Hop, Kabir Hamid

Honors Papers

I grew up listening to hip-hop music. Although I lived across the country from its birthplace, I would immerse myself in its sounds during the day and especially at night when my brother would play tapes before we fell asleep in our bunk beds. At a certain point in high school, I became obsessed with the music's lyrics. I was continually astonished by the cleverness, rhyme ability and edginess of the emcees I listened to. My admiration for hip-hop music developed alongside my admiration for the great authors I was reading at that time: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Herman Hesse and …

Cross-Examining Expertise In The Wto Dispute Settlement Process, Christopher T. Timura

Michigan Journal of International Law

Part I of this Note surveys some of the recent contributions that social theorists and social scientists have made to our understanding of the role of experts in society, and also the structure of expert communities. Experts are everywhere in modern life, and individuals are with increasing frequency asked to extend their trust to experts and bodies of knowledge that they have little or no opportunity to question. Part II highlights how the WTO Agreement deals with experts, using recent WTO panel reports to illustrate the ways in which the DSB has operationalized its various provisions. Part III suggests two …

The Grand Rapids Civil Rights Movement From 1954-1969: A Sociological Study, Philip J. Bostic

The purpose of this study is to examine whether or not the Civil Rights Movement helped to improve the status of the African-American community in Grand Rapids, Michigan. A thorough analysis of the local newspaper, the Grand Rapids Press, from 1954-1969, supplies the empirical data utilized as the foundation of this research. The local data was applied …

Overall, music lyrics perceived marriage positively.

Sexual Harassment: Do Perceptions Differ Across Race And Sex?, Amanda J. Webster

McNair Scholars Journal

Sexual harassment is a prevalent problem in the business world today. It interferes with effective organizational performance and has significant physical and psychological consequences for the direct victim (e.g., Gutek & Koss, 1993, Hanisch, 1996) and any indirect victims (e.g., Glomb, Richman, Hulin, Drasgow, Schneider, & Fitzgerald, 1997). The past two decades have seen a proliferation of research on the frequency of sexual harassment (Cohen & Gutek, 1985; Fitzgerald & Hesson-McInnis, 1989; Gutek & Koss, 1993), as well as how individuals perceive the harasser, the victim, and the situation (Corr & Jackson, 2001; Henry & Meltzof, 1998; Perry, Schmidtke, & …

A Teacher's Guide To Genocide In California History, Thomas William Hunnicutt

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

It is the purpose of this teacher’s guide to provide educators with a conceptual and historical framework for interpreting a specific aspect of Indian/white relationships in Northern California during the years of 1840 to 1880. During this period of time the Indians of California suffered a dramatic reduction in their population as a result of disease, mass killings, kidnappings, relocations, and the destruction of the material resources necessary for cultural continuance. It is the conclusion of historians such as Jack Norton (1997), Rupert and Jeannette Costo (1995), Lynwood Carranco and Estle Beard (1981), Russel Thornton (1987), and others that California …

Hate Crime In The Media: A Content Analysis Of "The Washington Post" And "The New York Times"., Jennifer Michelle Hatcher

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

In 1990, the United States Congress passed the Hate Crime Statistics Act (HCSA) which set into motion the development of a law-enforcement based data collection system aimed at learning more about “hate crimes.” By 1999 the term “hate crime” had become so widely used and recognizable that when news broke of the murders of Matthew Shephard, a University of Wyoming student who was brutally murdered because he was gay, and James L. Byrd, a disabled black man who was savagely murdered because of his race, the media understandably labeled these acts as “hate crimes.” In this paper the authors will …

An Analysis Of An Interview Between A Carthusian Monk And A Benedictine Monk Utilizing Fillmore's Frame Model In Discourse Analysis., Joseph John Pielech

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This thesis analyzed a three-hour audiotape interview (Appendices I and II) between Fr. Benedict Neenan, a professed Benedictine monk and Pr. Raphael Diamond, a Carthusian monk from the Charterhouse of the Transfiguration in Arlington, VT. The theoretical framework employed as the vehicle of analysis is Fillmoreís Frame Model (1976, 1977). By implementing Fillmoreís model, we are able to explain how and why certain frames arose as well as account for any breakdown in the discourse which resulted from inaccurate or incomplete mental representations the participants had. Fillmoreís model incorporates the linguistic, metalinguistic, and psycho-social elements of language, however he does …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This research analyzes effects of firm demographics and local labor market characteristics on a firm’s selection of college graduate recruitment techniques. A survey of West Virginia businesses expected to employ relatively more college graduates was administered to gauge differences in characteristics of businesses participating in formal college graduate recruitment programs versus those that do not. Descriptive statistics and a multinomial logistic regression model reveal that larger establishments and businesses with a higher percentage of employees with a college degree utilize formal college graduate techniques in the employee search process. As a matter of policy, the availability of college graduates from …

Professional Development School: Perceptions Of Student Learning, Success, Respect And Parent Participation From A Rural High School., Sarah M. Bennett-Harper

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study surveyed 9th - 11th grade students and their parents at Grafton High School (GHS), a PDS, located in Grafton, West Virginia, during the spring of 1997.

Race Relations, Suzanne W. Jones

English Faculty Publications

Since the early nineteenth century, when white southern writers began to defend slavery, relationships between blacks and whites became a central concern in southern literature. Many nineteenth-and early-twentieth-century works by white writers exacerbated racial prejudice by reproducing southern white society's racist ideology. But other southern writers, both white and black, have attempted to redress this problem by using literature to dismantle stereotypes and to imagine new relationships. The results of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement speeded up the process, suggesting new plots, new endings, and new points of view to southern writers of both races.
