Drama Therapy And Transgender Adolescents, Ryan Lisman

Expressive Therapies Capstone Theses

Transgender adolescents in the United States are currently a vulnerable population that often regularly face discrimination and are at a high risk for hate crimes (Center of Excellence for Transgender Health, 2016). Developing and implementing therapeutic interventions and models for working with transgender adolescents is essential at this time. In American society, there has recently been a cultural shift towards a greater sense of acceptance for the LGBTQ community (Benson, 2013), but within that, the transgender community has been consistently left behind in many aspects of progress that LGB (Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual) people have benefited from (Benson, 2013). There …

Flow, Creativity And Autism Spectrum Disorder: Creatively Supporting Development And Pro-Social Behavior In Children With Asd, Mehdi Raoufi

Expressive Therapies Capstone Theses

This literature review is an analysis of the literature exploring the use of expressive arts modalities with children living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with a focus on emotional regulation and behavior modification. Historically, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has been the standard in terms of behavior modification for this population, but current research and qualitative inquiries suggested that members of this population need more support in emotional regulation and communication than ABA is able to provide. Using an intermodal arts-based method developmentally promotes social and communication abilities in children with ASD. Further, channeling stereotypic behaviors into creative flow can regulate, …

The Effect Of Smartphones On Anxiety: An Attachment Issue Or Fear Of Missing Out?, Kelly Mannion

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

Previous research shows that college students tend to experience increased anxiety when they are separated from their smartphone. This anxiety has been suggested to be due to attachment, where college students have formed an attachment to their smartphone. Another explanation for this anxiety is the fear of missing out (FoMO), where college students experience worry when they cannot check in with their friends. No existing study to my knowledge has simultaneously examined the separate impact of attachment to phones and FoMO on anxiety levels, particularly during a stressful situation. The current study examines the separate and combined impacts of FoMO …

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Elizabeth Koch Tiscione

Bailey School of Music Concert Programs

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra returns to Kennesaw State University to tackle classical symphonies by two big personalities and feature KSU's own as soloist. The spirit of 18th-century composer Franz Joseph Haydn hovers over this concert led by conductor Carlo Rizzi. 20th century Russian Sergei Prokofiev pays homage to Haydn in his nimble and puckish "Classical" Symphony while Beethoven, a cantankerous student of Haydn, echoed the master in his sunny and explosively exuberant Symphony No. 2 one hundred years earlier. Elizabeth Koch Tiscione, ASO Principal Oboe and KSU Artist-in-Residence, solos in Mozart's Oboe Concerto.

“Body-Snatching By Great Ladies” British Auxiliary Hospitals In The First World War: 1914-1918, Kristina Agopian

Voces Novae

Throughout the two decades prior to the Great War, aristocratic life and luxury was in steady decline in the British dominions, as economic historian David Cannadine argues. A war on landowners by the lower classes and a new democratization threatened to end the prestige of families grounded in the aristocracy. As Cannadine noted, “in many parts of the country, tenants turned against their landlords, frequently refused to pay their rents, and stridently demanded an end to the system of great estates.” The question of who was right to command and lead various institutions in British Society would be put to …

“A Singing Army Is A Fighting Army”: American Soldiers’ Songs And The Training Camp Experience In World War I, Maci Reed

Voces Novae

This paper analyzes the impact of the camp music program on American participants in World War I. First, it describes the formation and purpose of the Commission on Training Camp Activities (CTCA). This was a commission developed within the War Department in 1917 that was tasked with raising and maintaining troop morale by organizing constructive recreational activities, such as the music division. Second, this paper explores the soldiers’ experiences with song and how they accepted the practice of singing and used it as a form of expression. This paper argues that the CTCA effectively utilized singing to increase unit cohesion …

Les Éléments De L'Empire: Cultural Construction And Civilization In 19th Century French Algeria, David Wells

Voces Novae

“Les Éléments de l’Empire: Cultural Construction and Civilization in 19th Century French Algeria” examines the mentality behind the 19th century colonization of French Algeria, via a French museum established in Algiers in 1838. French documents from the period pertaining to the museum overwhelmingly reveal an association between retrieving artifacts from the Roman Empire and establishing the French Empire in Algeria. Yet “indigenous” artifacts receive progressively greater attention as colonization proceeds. The museum’s founder, Adrien Berbrugger, plays a particularly important role, as does the museum’s connection to the academic community and the colonial administration. Consequently, this paper also examines the historical …

“We Need New Forms”: The Systems Influence On The Development Of The Group Theatre, Colby Sostarich

Voces Novae

In the American theatre, the name Constantin Stanislavsky has become synonymous with certain techniques that allowed theatre to evolve into its present form. The system that he created provides the foundation for a majority of the different theories that have been introduced to theatrical practices in the 20th and 21st centuries. Among those intrigued by Stanislavsky’s work were the founding members of the seminal Group Theatre. These members worked together to create new American theories that are directly related to the core teaching of Stanislavsky. This study investigated the connection between the Moscow Art Theatre’s early tour and the Group …

The Golden Era Of Hollywood: The Making Of The Wizard Of Oz And Gone With The Wind, Kalie Rudolph

Voces Novae

"The Golden Era of Hollywood: The Making of The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind," argues that despite the glamorous facade of Hollywood, the studio heads where clueless as to what films the public wanted to see. Every film they released was a gamble. In 1939, MGM released two of the most beloved and popular films of all time, The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind. Gone with the Wind was a huge success, whereas The Wizard of Oz was a box office flop. The paper will discuss how these two films were chosen by the …

"We Were Carrying On A Strike When We Ought To Have Been Making A Revolution": The Rise Of Marxist Leaders In Glasgow During Wwi And The Illusions Of A Communist Workers' Republic In Scotland, Gary Girod

Voces Novae

This essay looks at Glasgow's labor situation during World War I and immediately after. It examines the debate over how radical Glaswegians were, and how much influence the Marxist leaders exercised during this period. It uses a vast array of government documents, public documents, and the personal letters and manifestos of the Marxist leaders in order to create a complete picture of this period from all perspectives.

"Unbroken Towards The Sea": The National Trust And The Rise Of Coastal Preservation In Late 19th And 20th Century Britain, Chelsea Judy

Voces Novae

This paper explores the formative years of the British National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty from its founding in 1895 to 1938. It specifically investigates the rise of the Trust’s interest in preserving Britain’s coastline, which was originally an afterthought when compared to other areas of natural beauty. Ultimately, the years between 1895 and 1938 proved extremely pivotal in the development of the Trust’s preservationist ethic in its policy approach towards protecting coastline and set the stage for the sweeping coastal environmental movement that would take place in 1965 with Operation Neptune.

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 …
