The Role Of Timing Of Developmental Trauma And Impacts On Attachment In African-Caribbean American Women: A Holistic Perspective, Zinetta Renee Baker
The Role Of Timing Of Developmental Trauma And Impacts On Attachment In African-Caribbean American Women: A Holistic Perspective, Zinetta Renee Baker
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Prior studies have shown that developmental trauma exposure in childhood negatively impacts attachment neurocircuitry, increasing risk for insecure attachments in adulthood, and deemed more prevalent among females and minorities, such as African American women. However, studies that specifically focus on ethnocultural contexts, initial developmental trauma exposure during specific developmental ages, and impacts on attachment, including attachment to God in African-Caribbean American women are limited. This study fulfilled those gaps in the literature by examining age of initial developmental trauma exposure and impacts on attachment with self and God in African-Caribbean American adult women with developmental trauma histories. Bioecological systems theory, …

Pathway Out Of Homelessness, Budwa (Bud) Sous
Pathway Out Of Homelessness, Budwa (Bud) Sous
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This phenomenological case study aims to understand the homeless individuals' relational Transformational Experience (TE) and their choice to complete the transitional pathway journey from homelessness at a faith-based shelter. Developed in 1938 by John Dewy, TE has become a comprehensive and complex framework that describes how learners interpret, confirm, and give meaning to their experiences. As a result, this study's framework uses a hermeneutic and relational approach to explore and highlight relational barriers the homeless faced following their transition out of a Midwest homeless shelter. However, research has not adequately recognized how a restored relationship contributes to cognitive and behavioral …

The other was Ida B. Wells who challenged social inequities and injustices within her community. Throughout this project, sixth-grade students read selected trade books, examined primary sources, completed graphic organizers, and crafted writing …
History’S Unsung Hero: Examining Oscar Dunn And African American History Through A Graphical Novel, Nefertari Yancie
History’S Unsung Hero: Examining Oscar Dunn And African American History Through A Graphical Novel, Nefertari Yancie
The Councilor: A National Journal of the Social Studies
Social studies curriculum is at the center of heated debates in U. S. politics. Conservative politicians seek to limit what student are taught about the experiences of people of color who have been oppressed or subjected to racist policies and treatment throughout American history. Whitewashing history denies students the chance to examine history in its fullness as they are unable to analyze the voices and experiences of all people whose stories have contributed to the American story. In this article, the author explores how graphic novels may be used to teach African American history. Specifically, the author discusses how activities …
Artifact Investigation As An Access Point To Doing Social Studies, Jacquelyn R. Benchik-Osborne, Susan Mcdonough
Artifact Investigation As An Access Point To Doing Social Studies, Jacquelyn R. Benchik-Osborne, Susan Mcdonough
The Councilor: A National Journal of the Social Studies
Social studies methods coursework at two Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) emphasizes providing access to rigorous social science education for all. Teacher candidates (TCs) learn to design equitable opportunities for students in the elementary and middle level classrooms to engage in inquiry–to do social studies. One tool social scientists use to “do” their work is artifact investigation. Artifacts, such as historical photographs and primary sources, help students connect with cultural and historical contexts. Using digital artifacts from the Library of Congress (LOC), TCs create opportunities for students to explore social dynamics, identity formation, power structures, and community development through cultural realia. …
Political Philosophers Shaping Modern America, Sean O'Brien
Political Philosophers Shaping Modern America, Sean O'Brien
Research Days
The research finds that John Locke and his contractarianist philosophies have been more influential in shaping the 21st-century America of today. John Stuart Mill’s philosophies of liberalism have not come to fruition throughout history as much as Locke's. Mill believes at the time of his work, liberalism is a political ideology that happens to be more utilitarian. Over time, America has changed to believe in liberalism, which does not draw as much inspiration from his work. It is his utilitarian philosophy that would reject 21st-century America and the way that it has formed over time. He simply believes in fundamental …

Bibliographic Rescue: John Leland's Monastery Salvage Operation, Christopher Dykes
Bibliographic Rescue: John Leland's Monastery Salvage Operation, Christopher Dykes
Liberty University Research Week
This study examines John Leland's complex role as a royal commissioner during the dissolution of the monasteries. As the "King's Antiquary," Leland found himself caught between seemingly contradictory missions: participating in dismantling monastic institutions while simultaneously working to preserve their scholarly and cultural heritage. The research explores how Leland, educated as a humanist and appointed with a royal commission to survey England's libraries, navigated these competing loyalties through his extensive library tours, meticulous transcriptions, and ambitious documentation projects, including the Collectanea and De Viris Illustribus. Particular attention is given to Leland's nationalist motivations, evidenced in his concern about foreign scholars …
The Last Hussar Rides To War: August Von Mackensen On The Eastern Front, 1914-17, Christian Mumpower
The Last Hussar Rides To War: August Von Mackensen On The Eastern Front, 1914-17, Christian Mumpower
Liberty University Research Week
English-language accounts and appraisals of the Western Front have long dominated the historiography of the Great War. This prevailing interpretation tends to cast a shadow over other, nonetheless critical sectors of fighting and diminish contributions made on these fronts by less well-known commanders and the men who served under them. While the Western Front boasts a rich catalog of scholarship, few popular accounts exist about those who carved out a legacy for themselves on the Eastern Front, a sector of the war that saw some of the most desperate fighting but has since been relegated to the footnotes of history. …
