Exploring The Effectiveness Of Virtual Reality Role-Playing In Debating Repatriation Of Artworks In Active Learning Art History Classes, James Hutson, Trent Olsen

Faculty Scholarship

This paper addresses the pressing issue of repatriation debates for artworks, heightened by notable instances like the return of the Benin Bronzes and discussions around the Elgin Marbles. Given the challenges in conducting effective classroom debates on such sensitive topics due to the pandemic, generational shifts in learning preferences, and increased student anxiety, this study identifies a gap in the integration of active learning strategies in a virtual setting. The primary aim of this research is to examine the efficacy of virtual reality role-playing games (VR-RPGs) in enhancing student engagement, immersion, presence, and learning outcomes within a virtual learning environment …

Around The Originality Of The Dramatic Work Of Louis-Benoît Picard, Ahmad Al-Btoush

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

This article focuses on the problematic of the originality of the theatrical work of Louis-Benoît Picard (1769-1828). He repeatedly recognized that several sources of inspiration allowed the production of all his comedies to great success. The use of intertextuality as a methodological tool revealed in a text expose the relations of obvious or latent co-presence between several authors. This study clearly established that authors such as Molière, La Bruyère, Gresset, and Beaumarchais have had a major influence on the theatrical work of Picard. However, this is not without ignoring the influence of Picard himself on later literary productions. This intertextuality …

“He Is One For History” The History Of The Blacks In Susan Lori Parks’S The America Play, Basaad Maher Mhayyal, Asmaa Mehdi

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

History in the plays of African-American playwright Susan Lori Parks (b. 1963) is affirmed, reenacted, and rewritten to represent the black identity. It is seen as a necessary requisite for understanding the past, living the present with all its repercussions, and safeguarding the future of black generations. In her “Possession”, she claims that the white history of literature must be put in question because they have documented history from their own white perspective only, neglecting the fact that the blacks have their own role in that history. She tries her best to make her plays as literary mediations in order …

Realistic And Absurd Dramatic Setting: A Comparative Study, Asmaa Mokaram Saeed

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

Dramatic setting in any work of art assumes its significance, especially in drama and all other forms of narrative, telling of the occurrence of an action in relation to themes and characters. The importance of setting lies in the fact that it is always to accompany actions: no setting means no action. Setting is the sole dramatic ingredient among all others which cannot be overlooked by any dramatist or a story teller. For any action or any event—realistic, absurd and otherwise—there must be representations of a place and time—setting—so that full understanding can be attained by the reader or the …

A Psycho-Traumatic Analysis Of Two Post-Modern Plays: Julie Myatt’S Welcome Home Jenny Stutter And Christopher Shinn’S Dying City, Shirin Kamal Ahmed

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

Due to the intense and detrimental effects that war has not just traumatized military personnel who have served in the military of their home nation, particularly throughout wars, as well as on a whole warring society, the theme of trauma has become increasingly prevalent in the American scene over the past forty years. This has prompted many relevant playwrights to record and depict the negative out comes of war and its disastrous effects not only on the militants after coming back home but also on the civilian population. Playwrights have explored the terrible effects of war, the challenges that survivors …

Everybody

Taylor Theatre Playbills

The playbill for Taylor University's performance of Everybody by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins.

Performed September 14-17, 2023 at the Mitchell Theatre.

Everybody is a modern adaptation of the 15th-century morality play Everyman. The story follows a character named Everybody, who is summoned by Death to embark on a journey to account for their life and choices before God.

Destination Integration: Linking Physiology, Histology, And Embryology Content In Foundational Sciences, Jennifer F. Dennis, Bradley A. Creamer

Faculty and Staff Publications

Anatomy and physiology are tightly linked disciplines that complement each other, however, in medical education delivery of this content is often siloed and divided. To address this, we created combined anatomy and physiology content for the female reproductive system, and team-taught designated histology and embryology topics integrated with the physiology content. Collectively, this created a more holistic incorporation of topics for student learning. Here we describe the format and approach for this teaching innovation.

Narrating Egyptian Women’S Prison Experiences - El Saadawi And Bakr, Nour El Captan

The Undergraduate Research Journal

The research attempts to discover what Egyptian women prisoners’ experience was like in the 1980s and 90s through studying two major texts which fall under the genre of prison literature: Twelve Women in a Cell by Nawal El Saadawi and The Golden Chariot by Salwa Bakr. Through a thorough reading and analysis of the works, similar tropes and different attitudes can be found in the texts. Both works discussed class, comradery, and the patriarchy but differences exist when it comes to their different portrayals of prison.

Education And Democracy From Brown To Plyler, Nicholas Espíritu

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Judicial review has often been cast in terms of democratic legitimacy. Democratic legitimacy is often linked to whether it institutes the will of the people through majoritarian rule and whether it creates processes for reevaluation of these prior decisions by newly constituted majorities. Judicial review of majoritarian decisions has often been criticized as a overriding or circumventing of these democratic processes. Beginning with Brown v. Board of Education, the Warren Court adopted a resolution of the “counter-majoritarian difficulty” of judicial review by tacitly accepting Justice Stone’s formulation from footnote four of United States v. Carolene Products and engaging …
