Taking The War To The Enemy: The Story Of Major Richard Clement, Travis Ueckert

Honors Theses

From the late 1930’s to the final moments of 1941, ordinary citizens of the United States witnessed the illusion of an isolated nation shatter with the global presence of Axis Nations. The U.S. took the initiative in eliminating international threats before they reached U.S. borders, resulting in everyday men and women having to learn about war along the way with usually little to no experience. Scholars who study war and memory face the challenge to capture the entirety and significance of a veteran’s experience, even those of the family members. Though the sacrifice demanded much, memories fade or are suppressed; …

A Transnational Multivariate Analysis Of American Civil War Diplomacy, Thomas Gilbert Henry

Student Theses and Dissertations

Numerous historians have offered explanations for both Europe's response to the American Civil War as well as motivations behind Europe's refusal to extend recognition to the Confederacy and/or militarily intervene in the war. All previously published explanations included in this thesis are plausible, credible and most likely valid. Therefore, this thesis argues that the historiographical explanations offered, prior to now, have been far too narrowly focused and therefore too myopic to provide a proper, comprehensive explanation. This multivariate historiographic analysis will attempt to provide a more panoramic viewpoint from which readers may understand the European perspective which led to Europe's …

The Legends Of Saint Augustine Of Canterbury: The Myth Illuminates The Man, Joshua B. Tuttle

Theology Student Work

At the behest of Pope Gregory the Great (c. 540- 604), Augustine (later called Augustine of Canterbury) embarked on a mission that would end with Britain reentering the Christian fold. Most historical records record Augustine's deeds, but say little directly his character or his personality. This paper examines some indirect inferences we can gather from legends and traditions, in the hope of producing a better understanding of Augustine the man, that we might properly understand his deeds in the context of a living, breathing person. The paper also explores the plausibility of these legends.

Responsibility To Protect (R2p), The Responsibility Of The International Community To Protect Syrian Citizens, Ghuna Bdiwi

LLM Theses

The responsibility to protect (R2P) doctrine allows the international community to intervene for humanitarian purposes in events of massive violations of human rights. However, the legality of humanitarian intervention has received considerable critical attention because of its direct conflict with two fundamental norms in international law: the prohibition of the use of force, and the principle of state sovereignty. In Syria, mass atrocity crimes are escalating on a daily basis. Until now, international efforts have failed to find a peaceful formula to stop the crisis. International law allows the Security Council to authorize humanitarian intervention under the power of Chapter …

The Native American Organic Garden: Using Service Learning As A Site Of Resistance To The Boarding School Tradition, Donna Chollett

Anthropology Publications

As educators, we owe it to our students to enable them to transgress structural impediments and to create sustainable alternatives from the margins of the industrial agro-food system. Policies of assimilation, allotment, and enclosure of the Native American commons and ecosystems brought devastation to Native cultures. Dependence on government commodities replaced Native food sovereignty and contributed to malnutrition, obesity, and diabetes as diets responded to corporately produced and processed foods. Young people often feel disempowered and ask how they might confront such formidable forces as corporate control of our agro-food system, destruction of natural resources, and threats to human health. …

The Relationship Between Pain Sensitivity And Motor Adaptations, Irina Fedulow, Katherine S. Rudolph

Research Report Papers

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between measures of central sensitization and CPM and how they impact motor adaptations in individuals without chronic pain conditions. To conduct this research, we decided to incorporate the “broken escalator phenomenon,” which is the unusual feeling that occurs when an individual steps onto an escalator or moving walkway that is broken and therefore not moving. The body responds with an anticipatory response that includes increased trunk sway and increased forward speed. The body adapts to the stationary walkway by reducing trunk sway and speed. Following that period of adaptation, if …
