"To Associate Ourselves With The Men Of Ulster:" A Gendered History Of Ulster's Solemn League And Covenant And The Ulster Women's Declaration, 1910-1920, Turner Jacobs Apr 2018

"To Associate Ourselves With The Men Of Ulster:" A Gendered History Of Ulster's Solemn League And Covenant And The Ulster Women's Declaration, 1910-1920, Turner Jacobs

Voces Novae

This paper explores the gendered constitution of Ulster's Solemn League and Covenant and the Ulster Women's Declaration, two documents that were instrumental in the Ulster unionist campaign against Irish Home Rule. Composed and circulated in 1912, these documents elucidated the Unionist platform while exposing the differences in gender roles inherent in Ulster's political and social spheres. Additionally, the two documents provided the basis for a Unionist militia that included both men and women, albeit in distinctive capacities. By examining the Covenant and Declaration, a more comprehensive understanding of the anti-Home Rule campaign can be fully realized.

Hard Times In The Big Easy: The Medical, Social, And Political Effects Of The Yellow Fever Epidemic Of 1853 In New Orleans, Molly Iker

Voces Novae

From May to October 1853, the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, battled a terrifying epidemic of yellow fever. This paper examines the spread of the disease, the death toll as the epidemic continued, and the political, medical, and social effects of this particular epidemic. Several thousand individuals succumbed to yellow fever between May 28 and October 8, 1853, and over 8,000 of these died. The medical, political, and social views on yellow fever varied by region, but all held that it was a mysterious and terrifying disease that carried off an excessive number of individuals. The 1853 yellow fever epidemic …

Shaken, Not Stirred: Markus Wolf’S Involvement In The Guillaume Affair And The Evolution Of Foreign Espionage In The Former Ddr, Jason Hiller

Voces Novae

This paper aims to show the inner workings of one of the most prolific foreign espionage agencies of the Cold War. From 1953 to 1990, the German Democratic Republic sat on the front lines of modern espionage. East Germany separated the Soviet Union from the West. The man in charge of maintaining order was Markus Wolf. His most impactful agent was Günter Guillaume who was in the office of West German Chancellor Willy Brandt. These men played an integral part in the politics between East and West that strained relations between the two sides of Germany. They left a lasting …

"Firepower Kills": The Evolution Of French Infantry Tactics At Verdun, James Chrislip

Voces Novae

This paper explores the considerable military and technological developments which took place within the French army during the opening stages of this engagement at the regimental level.

Through the analysis and comparison of the official regimental diaries, personal memoirs, and official military doctrine …

"No God-Damned Thailander Can Be Trusted To Do A Job Without Getting Political Minded": The Free Thai Movement And The Politics Of Independence During World War Ii, Nobchulee Maleenont Apr 2018

"No God-Damned Thailander Can Be Trusted To Do A Job Without Getting Political Minded": The Free Thai Movement And The Politics Of Independence During World War Ii, Nobchulee Maleenont

Voces Novae

My research project focuses on the Free Thai movement that emerged in America. Based on an analysis of a variety of primary sources, particularly declassified wartime documents and memoirs of Free Thai members, it seeks to explain the nature of this movement: what determined its course as well as outcome? Because the Free Thai was a liberation movement, one generally assumes that it was an organization of a military nature. While that is somewhat true, my research shows that the Free Thai movement was fundamentally characterized by political elements. There are two factors which have already been established in Free …


Lodovico Capponi: A Florentine Banker And A Lending Transaction In 16th Century Florence, Elsa Lindstrom Apr 2018

Lodovico Capponi: A Florentine Banker And A Lending Transaction In 16th Century Florence, Elsa Lindstrom

Voces Novae

This paper examines how loans transpired in early 16th century Italy, taking a look at a specific transaction involving Lodovico Capponi of Florence and the Vatican in Rome. The study breaks down into three separate themes: lenders, collateral, and interest. The paper takes a look at what sorts of people were lending money to whom, the importance of collateral and the kind of objects that were deemed acceptable for it, and the delicate application and retrieval of usurious interest on a loan. This is followed by a debate concerning the economy and the movement of money during this era. Although …


Boko Haram's Covert Front, Akali Omeni Apr 2018

Boko Haram's Covert Front, Akali Omeni

Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies

Waging a highly irregular war — an insurgency — in Northeast Nigeria since September 2010, Boko Haram over the years has escalated as a threat form. By 2014, this threat extended beyond Nigeria’s borders; and by 2017, thousands of people had become casualties of the conflict; with millions displaced in Northeast Nigeria. Boko Haram however did not necessarily achieve this threat escalation by fighting and defeating the Nigerian military on the battlefield. A large part of Boko Haram’s calculations, rather, have been focused on its covert front and on war avoidance altogether. Indeed, covert tactics have been the main vehicle …
