What Is Transpersonal Psychotherapy? A Conceptual Template, Gabriel Fernandez-Borsot

International Journal of Transpersonal Studies

Transpersonal psychotherapy (TPT) lacks systematization, as it lacks a model that

characterizes what qualifies a psychotherapy as transpersonal. Due to this situation, TPT

has been developed in a state of fragmentation, through a multiplicity of idiosyncratic

approaches. This idiosyncratic fragmentation jeopardizes the theoretical development

of the field, undermines the possibilities of obtaining a wider recognition, and hinders

the training and the research. To remedy this, this paper proposes a model of five

components which characterize TPT: (1) purposeful use of states of consciousness,

(2) transpersonal therapeutic framework, (3) transpersonal techniques, (4) focus on

spirituality and/or existential meaning, and (5) suitable …

Does Art Pluralism Lead To Eliminativism?, P.D. Magnus, Christy Mag Uidhir

Philosophy Faculty Scholarship

Art pluralism is the view that there is no single, correct account of what art is. Instead, art is understood through a plurality of art concepts and with considerations that are different for particular arts. Although avowed pluralists have retained the word “art” in their discussions, it is natural to ask whether the considerations that motivate pluralism should lead us to abandon art talk altogether; that is, should pluralism lead to eliminativism? This paper addresses arguments both for and against this move. We ultimately argue that pluralism allows one to retain the word “art”, if one wants it, but only …

The Vietnam War Era For Puerto Ricans: A Historical And Anthropological Analysis Of The Vietnam War Context And The Political Tension In Puerto Rico., Victor Vázquez, Eduardo Isiel Galvan

Departmental Papers (S&A)

The following article presents a historical and anthropological analysis of the political context experienced in Puerto Rico during the 1960s and 1970s, within the Cold War and the Vietnam War period. Since 1898, Puerto Rico has been a US territory and since 1952, a Commonwealth. During the Cold War and Vietnam War era, Puerto Rico suffered the worst political tension experienced among the supporters of independence against the government of Puerto Rico and the United States. This article analyzes the impact of the most important events during this period such as the mandatory recruitment program of the US Army, the …

Education Division Scholarship

This research critically investigates the public diplomacy strategies deployed by a cohort of influential female European leaders on Twitter during the Russo-Ukrainian War of 2022-2023.

Since 2017, the Strengthening Colors of Pride (SCoP) coalition, made up of LGBTQIA+ researchers, activists, and impacted community members, has set out to understand the lived experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other gender and sexual minority (LGBTQ+) people in the San Antonio Metro Area.

Rahab And The Perpetuation Of Deliverance, Amy H. Fisher

Religious Educator: Perspectives on the Restored Gospel

Deliverance is clearly the major theme of the memorable Exodus story, but the Exodus is not the only Old Testament account that teaches profound lessons about God’s redemption. The story of Rahab—the woman of Jericho—is situated in relation to the Exodus through shared images and narrative elements to highlight additional insights about God’s power to save. Specifically, the Rahab story shows that God continues in the temporal, collective delivery of his covenant people even after Egypt. God is also interested in both the temporal and spiritual deliverance of individuals, as shown in the life of Rahab herself. Finally, the story …

A Pack Of Hounds And Its Master? A Bi-Species Burial From The Necropolis Of Deir El-Banat (Fayum), G. A. Belova, B. F. Khasanov, O. A. Krylovich, S. Ikram, D. D. Vasyukov, A. B. Savinetsky

Faculty Journal Articles

Dog burials are known from Egypt from the Predynastic period from c. 3500 BC onward and continue into the Roman era. Different burials have been interpreted in a variety of ways: companion/pet/working animals, associated with divinities, and as guardians. This paper presents a unique interment of a single human and a group of dogs found in the cemetery of Deir el-Banat in the Fayum (Egypt), which can be interpreted as either a religio-magical protective deposit for the cemetery, or a religio-medical one, involving the sacrifice of several animals.

Empowering Artisans: The Economic And Social Impact Of All Across Africa On Women’S Livelihoods In East Africa, Clara Gallagher, Delaney Mcmillan

Miller Center Fellowship

This study evaluates the impact of All Across Africa (AAA), a social enterprise dedicated to reducing poverty and creating employment opportunities for women artisans in East Africa by producing handcrafted baskets. We gathered data from 68 artisan women in Rwanda, focusing on three core areas: earnings, extended impacts on family and community, and the broader implications of economic empowerment. The analysis reveals a significant increase in the monthly income of artisans since they joined AAA. These earnings have enabled women to improve their quality of life, support their families through better access to food, education, and healthcare, and contribute economically …

Water And Empowerment: Developing A Vetting Profile For Jibu’S Future Franchisees In Rwanda, Julia Von Gersdorff, Yael Grimaldi

Miller Center Fellowship

This research uncovers underlying characteristics of successful clean water franchisees within the current Jibu network in Rwanda and provides a basis for the future Jibu franchisee application process. The study spanned four weeks and was conducted on site in Kigali, Rwanda. A comprehensive primary data set was compiled, including both qualitative and quantitative captures, through 40 interviews (20 franchisees and 20 staff from franchise organizations) and by collecting ethnographic field notes during the franchise visits. Through subsequent analysis, the study was able to identify characteristics that portend a successful franchisee: Commitment to Jibu’s Mission and Community; Organizational and Educational …

Existential Advocacy: Lawyering For Ai Safety And The Future Of Humanity, John Bliss

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Lawyers have played a central role in a wide range of social movements aiming to provide legal voice to marginalized communities. How might this tradition of social-change lawyering apply to the protection of future generations— a population that cannot advocate for themselves? This is a pressing question in the movement to mitigate “existential risk,” which refers to events that would foreclose a meaningful existence for future generations either through human extinction or irreversible trajectories of human suffering. Over the past two decades, an Oxford-based academic community has been researching existential threats that could arise from emerging technology, such as advanced …

Bone Traces And Modifications From Feeding By Dermestes Maculatus, B. V. Adams, Leon G. Higley

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

That Dermestes maculatus feeding can leave marks on bones is established in the literature - that D. maculatus routinely mark bones is not. Our results here, exposing fleshed bones to D. maculatus adults and immatures for almost two months after complete tissue removal, indicate that under natural conditions D. maculatus do not feed on bones. The key issue seems to be the ability of D. maculatus to seek new food sources versus being confined (and eventually starving) on bones. In a natural setting, once a food supply is exhausted, D. maculatus would seek new food …
