Evaluating Flat Glass Thickness At The Isaac Miles Farm (13cd139), Herbert Hoover National Historic Site West Branch,Ia, Laura Bender

Nebraska Anthropologist

Flat glass thicknesses can be used to date historic sites (Ball 1982; Chance & Chance 1976; Moir 1982; Richner 1996, 1997; Roenke 1978; Schoen 1990; Walker 1971; Weiland 2007). Schoen (J 990) identified a trend in thickness of window glass on the Great Plains. He noted that window thicknesses increased over time throughout the nineteenth century and developed a formula for dating panes. This paper will examine flat glass from the Isaac Miles Farm (13CD139) at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site. It is hoped that by employing statistical analysis, knowledge about the large deposit of flat glass excavatedfrom Test Unit …

Adoption, Survival And Culture: Application And Comparative Review Of Joan Silks Kinship Theory Of Adoption With Select Cultures From Various Geographic Locations, John K. Fitzpatrick Iii

Nebraska Anthropologist

Adoption is a rather peculiar phenomenon of human society which is almost exclusive to our species, at least so far in how prolific it is. Adoption always involves some altruistic behavior at least initially (Silk 1987:40), and in our modern society it would certainly seem to be just that. Adoption of course is not simply an invention of modern times or western culture though as some may think, but exists crossculturally; in an HRAF search of 258 cultures 162 cultures are shown to have some form of adoption. The prevalence of adoption has led many anthropologists to attempt to explain …

Human Health And The Neolithic Revolution: An Overview Of Impacts Of The Agricultural Transition On Oral Health, Epidemiology, And The Human Body, Katherine J. Latham

Nebraska Anthropologist

The transition from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to dependence on agricultural production is commonly considered one of the most important achievements of human history. This transition, often referred to as the Neolithic Revolution, ushered in a variety of changes in human dietary intake, food processing and procurement methods, settlement patterns, and physical activity. Skeletal analyses of human remains from early agricultural centers throughout the world indicate that this revolution significantly affected overall human health. This paper will address some of the drastic effects of this transition as evidenced by craniofacial changes related to masticatory function, declines in oral health, increased spread …

Household Variation, Public Architecture, And The Organization Of Fremont Communities, Katie K. Richards, James R. Allison, Richard Talbot, Scott Ure, Lindsay Johansson

Faculty Publications

The Fremont were small scale agriculturalists spread across the northern Colorado Plateau and eastern Great Basin from before A.D. 400 until the A.D. 1300s. Fremont residences are typically pit structures—although late adobe surface structures do occur—established as individual farmsteads, small hamlets, and villages of variable size, the largest with hundreds of occupants. In this paper we discuss how Fremont society was variably organized through time and space, including as households, communities, and dispersed communities. We describe architectural forms that denote not only residential, but also public, communal, and ritual functions. We then present a preliminary model of Fremont organizational strategies …

Reconciling The Consequences Of Modernity: College Football As Cultural History, Kurt E. Kemper

Research & Publications

Scholars have placed their examinations of college football's larger cultural significance against the backdrop of broader venues of conflict in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  Most notably, the game as an institution has been used to interpret industrialization, masculinity, and race and civil rights.

Strange Traffic: Sex, Slavery, And The Freedom Principle, Anders Walker

Connecticut Law Review

This Article uses the recent prosecution of a sex trafficking case in rural Missouri to argue three points. First, the federal law of trafficking is currently being used in unanticipated ways, including the apprehension of individuals who pay for sex. Second, trafficking invites creative use precisely because it provides prosecutors with a more salient justification for punishment than either legal moralism or harm; a rhetorical plea to anti-slavery that enjoys a longstanding but under-theorized role in criminal law rhetoric. Third, antislavery’s recurrence in criminal law rhetoric illustrates a larger doctrinal point, namely that mid-century reformers like H. L. A. Hart …

Life From The Perception Of The Adolescent, Shatoya Black

Honors Capstones

I chose the title “From the eyes of the adolescent” to challenge individuals to look at the world the adolescents point of view. Adolescents face pressures; changes and the expectation of having to meet everyone demands which can be very overwhelming and can possibly cause them to lash out from frustration and not having anyone to talk to. Facing these types of demands and changes has been known to cause individuals to make irrational and unwise decisions. Adolescents have to meet the demands of the school, home, peer, body changes and the feeling like no one understands or is interested …

Hope At The End Of Life Among U.S. Military Veterans, Jaime L. Huffman

Wayne State University Dissertations

The purpose of this research study was to examine the meaning of hope at the end of life among Veterans. As people enter the terminal phase of life hope becomes especially important. Recent research has been conducted examining hope among various cultural groups and their experiences of the phenomenon. These studies showed that although hope is a universal phenomenon, different cultural groups ascribe different meanings to it. These cultural variations are important for nurses to consider when caring for patients.

Research conducted among Veterans has shown that as a cultural group, Veterans have different experiences and needs throughout their lives …

Computational Analysis Of The Body In European Fairy Tales, Scott Weingart, Jeana Jorgensen

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This article explores how digital humanities research methods can be used to analyze the representations of gendered bodies in European fairy tales, a flexible and pervasive genre that has influenced Western children's education and acquisition of gender identity for centuries. By blending the theoretical and methodological concerns of folkloristics, gender studies, and large-scale scientific research, this article demonstrates the utility of cross-disciplinary collaboration in asking traditional questions of traditional materials with new methods. To facilitate this research, a hand-coded database listing every reference to a body or body part in the 233 fairy tales was created. Analysis revealed strong indications …

Sorting Out Donkey Skin (Atu 510b): Toward An Integrative Literal-Symbolic Analysis Of Fairy Tales, Jeana Jorgensen

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This article debates the merits of fairy tale interpretive frameworks that privilege the psychological and symbolic, versus those that utilize a literal and feminist orientation. Using ATU 510B as a test case, for its intriguing blend of real-world elements and the fantastic, the author suggests that a synthesis of literal and symbolic theories allows for the fullest understanding of the polyvalent meanings of tale, which is particularly problematic due to its depictions of incest. Drawing examples from canonical as well as contemporary versions of ATU 510B, various psychoanalytic and feminist interpretations of the tale type are put to the test, …

The Black And The White Bride: Dualism, Gender, And Bodies In European Fairy Tales, Jeana Jorgensen

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Fairy tales are one of the most important folklore genres in Western culture, spanning literary and oral cultures, folk and elite cultures, and print and mass media forms. As Jack Zipes observes: ‘The cultural evolution of the fairy tale is closely bound historically to all kinds of storytelling and different civilizing processes that have undergirded the formation of nation-states.’¹⁴³ Studying fairy tales thus opens a window onto European history and cultures, ideologies, and aesthetics.

Coca: An Andean Daily Chew, Robert C. Bradley

School of Art & Design Faculty Publications

“Coca: An Andean Daily Chew” distinctly separates the benign tradition of coca chewing in South America, an 8,000 year old practice, from the modern plague of cocaine addiction. The article specifically addresses Western misconceptions about coca. The text goes on to detail many aspects of the process of coca chewing, from the fields of the Andes to the mouths of the chewer. Coca is chewed with quick lime and this process is compared to the preparation of corn tortillas in Mexico. The most celebrated variety of coca, Erythroxylum novogranatense var. truxillense, or Tupa Coca in Quechua, is positioned as the …

Google Vs. The Library: Student Preferences And Perceptions When Doing Research Using Google And A Federated Search Tool, Helen Georgas

Publications and Research

Federated searching was once touted as the library world’s answer to Google, but ten years since federated searching technology’s inception, how does it actually compare? This study focuses on undergraduate student preferences and perceptions when doing research using both Google and a federated search tool. Students were asked about their preferences using each search tool and the perceived relevance of the sources they found using each search tool. Students were also asked to self-assess their online searching skills. The findings show that students believe they possess strong searching skills, are able to find relevant sources using both search tools, but …

Madrid Cómico Confronts The Anarchist Bombing Campaigns, Vernon Chamberlin

Decimonónica

Founded in 1880, the eight-page weekly newspaper Madrid Cómico rapidly established its niche and by 1888 enjoyed a circulation of 10,000. It was distributed and read throughout Spain. In addition to personal subscriptions, it was available in cafés, casinos, barber shops, boarding houses, and street kiosks. Madrid Cómico was markedly different from the established press in that its approach was emphatically festive and satirical. It frequently featured a well-known person on its cover, caricatured by an accurate face and head on a doll-sized body. Inside, in addition to a vibrant literary section, there were cartoons, jokes, festive poems, editorial commentary, …

Antidiscrimination Law And The Multiracial Experience: A Reply To Nancy Leong, Tina Fernandes

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

While discrimination against multiracial people undoubtedly occurs, antidiscrimination law as it is currently understood is ill-equipped to address the problem. In this article, Dr. Fernandes argues that the modern application of two broad sources of antidiscrimination law-the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964-is out of step with their original purpose: to provide remedies for discrimination against historically oppressed groups of people. Only by recognizing multiracial individuals as one of these groups can antidiscrimination law rectify the harms visited on them.

This article first explores the history of equal protection and employment …
