Stepping In New Directions: The Canadian Army’S Observer Program In The Asia-Pacific Region, 1944-45, Andrew L. Brown Apr 2019

Stepping In New Directions: The Canadian Army’S Observer Program In The Asia-Pacific Region, 1944-45, Andrew L. Brown

Canadian Military History

In early 1944, and in anticipation of a government decision to commit ground forces to the war against Japan, the Canadian army launched a program that sent officers to the Asia-Pacific region to observe Allied operations. The observer program was well underway when, in November 1944, the Canadian government ordered the army to prepare a division to serve under American command in the Pacific theatre. The observer program helped the army deal with two significant challenges: learning how to fight a largely unfamiliar enemy in a tropical environment, and learning how to operate as part of an American force.


The Wealth Of Nations And The Advancement Of Collective Security, Kerry Daniel Good Apr 2019

The Wealth Of Nations And The Advancement Of Collective Security, Kerry Daniel Good

Senior Honors Theses

This thesis will address the economic development of countries from the strategic perspective of the United States, and consider how this development will progress overlaid in the context of the Chinese framework for the projection of national power. Using an inter-disciplinary approach, this research will synthesize sources on national security policy and economics, while seeking a Christian apologetic framework to answer these questions: How can the United States promote the economic development of countries in the Asia-Pacific region using a biblical economic-development model, as a part of its national strategy? This thesis focuses on some of the political and socio-economic …


Mathematical Models: The Lanchester Equations And The Zombie Apocalypse, Hailey Bauer Apr 2019

Mathematical Models: The Lanchester Equations And The Zombie Apocalypse, Hailey Bauer

Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

This research study used mathematical models to analyze and depicted specific battle situations and the outcomes of the zombie apocalypse. The original models that predicted warfare were the Lanchester models, while the zombie apocalypse models were fictional expansions upon mathematical models used to examine infectious diseases. In this paper, I analyzed and compared different mathematical models by examining each model’s set of assumptions and the impact of the change in variables on the population classes. The purpose of this study was to understand the basics of the discrete dynamical systems and to determine the similarities between imaginary and realistic models. …

Contralto Marian Anderson As Goodwill Ambassador, Jolie Rocke Apr 2019

Contralto Marian Anderson As Goodwill Ambassador, Jolie Rocke

Doctoral Dissertations

Marian Anderson was an internationally-acclaimed contralto and goodwill ambassador for the United States government. In her role as a political asset, she utilized her talents to evoke a perception of the United States that differed from past assessments involving race relations. To provide an understanding of how she became an icon and asset to the State Department, three theoretical frameworks are applied—performativity, prototype, and social semiotics. In classical theories of performativity, classification separates us into categories and hierarchies, while concepts help us to categorize, understand, and predict the material world. Scholars have defined identity as a series of citational acts …


Voice Of America, Foy D. Kohler Apr 2019

Voice Of America, Foy D. Kohler

Naval War College Review

Now, in just plain physical terms, what is the Voice of America? I have had a lot of ladies ask me where our station is and things like that; apparently conceiving the Voice of America as a radio station comparable to their local radio station, but with a few strange characters around who are multilingual and can say the same thing in many different languages. Well it isn't that; it is a colossal radio operation. NBC and CBS combined are pretty small, as radio operations go, compared with what is, and particular­ly with what will be, the Voice of America.

Portraits Of A Camoufleur, Michael C. Guinto Ii Apr 2019

Portraits Of A Camoufleur, Michael C. Guinto Ii

Theses

Portraits of a Camoufleur is a body of photographic work which features military veterans who have transitioned back and forth between the military and civilian world. The photographic sculptures serve as portraits created by stacking collected archive photographs together inside shadowbox frames. The photographs have also had camouflage patterns physically cut out of them which reveal more of the underlying images and experiences the veterans have provided. The work serves as a window into military experiences, attempting to close the gap that exists between military and civilian culture.

The World Trade Center 1993 Attack Vs. Osama Bin-Laden’S Fatwa As Causes Of The September 11, 2001 Terror Attack, Jessica Bland Apr 2019

The World Trade Center 1993 Attack Vs. Osama Bin-Laden’S Fatwa As Causes Of The September 11, 2001 Terror Attack, Jessica Bland

Academic Festival

It is important to study the causes of the September 11 attacks because knowing the root cause of a problem is the best way to fix it. In this study, I will research the question: Was the 1993 World Trade Center bombing more or less of a cause of the September 11, 2001 attacks than Osama Bin-Laden’s fatwa, issued in 1998? I will be using the case study method to conduct this research by looking at previous research done on both topics and coming to a conclusion as to which event was a more major cause. This study is going …

Redrawing Borders In Africa: Norms And Exceptions, Andrew Kuntz Apr 2019

Redrawing Borders In Africa: Norms And Exceptions, Andrew Kuntz

Proceedings of GREAT Day

Stability is a central component in the operation of the international system. Reflecting its necessity, the principles of territorial integrity and state sovereignty are deeply engrained in international law. Secession challenges these tenets through the right to self-determination. However, the right to self-determination is not a generalized right to secede, and secession remains a rare occurrence. This has held uniquely true to Africa, where colonialism left a legacy of non-viable states and ripe conditions for secession, yet South Sudan and Eritrea have been the only cases in the half of a century since decolonization. Existing research on secession has primarily …


"The Most Forgotten Unit In The Most Forgotten Theatre Of That War:" A History Of The Mars Task Force In The Burma Theatre Of World War Ii, August 1944-October 1945, Matthew James Camina Apr 2019

"The Most Forgotten Unit In The Most Forgotten Theatre Of That War:" A History Of The Mars Task Force In The Burma Theatre Of World War Ii, August 1944-October 1945, Matthew James Camina

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis discusses the significance of the (MTF) in Burma during World War II and how the MTF has been generally overlooked by historians. What little historical attention the Mars Task Force has received has frequently been brief and inaccurate. The Mars Task Force was a classified Long Range Penetration Force that trekked some 300 miles behind enemy-lines and went on the offensive in Burma to weaken the Japanese in their war with the Nationalists Chinese. This epic march was on foot, with mules, and supplied through airdrops. This thesis represents one of the few studies of the Mars Task …

The Trumpet Music Of Eric Nathan, David Wharton Apr 2019

The Trumpet Music Of Eric Nathan, David Wharton

Doctoral Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the trumpet works of composer Eric Nathan in terms of their technical and notational elements. This analysis develops an understanding of the musical vocabulary and techniques that will provide insight into the structure, style, and performance of this repertoire and in doing so to discover a historical perspective of the trumpet’s role within solo and chamber music genres in the 21st century. Through this analysis, I suggest that Nathan's music pushed the technical, and therefore expressive boundaries of the instrument. While not exhaustive, the analysis of Cantus, Four Sculptures, and Toying will …


Ending The Civil War And Consequences For Congress, Paul Finkelman, Donald R. Kennon Apr 2019

Ending The Civil War And Consequences For Congress, Paul Finkelman, Donald R. Kennon

Ohio University Press Open Access Books

The social changes and human and economic costs of the Civil War led to profound legal and constitutional developments after it ended, not least of which were the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and the many laws devised to protect the civil rights of newly freed African Americans. These amendments and laws worked for a while, but they were ineffective or ineffectively enforced for more than a century.

In Ending the Civil War and the Consequences for Congress, contributors explore how the end of the war both continued the trauma of the conflict and enhanced the potential for the new birth …

The Arkansas Colored Auxiliary Council: Black Activism During World War I, 1917-1918, Crystal Gail Shurley Apr 2019

The Arkansas Colored Auxiliary Council: Black Activism During World War I, 1917-1918, Crystal Gail Shurley

Theses and Dissertations

Before the United States entered World War I, President Wilson and Congress established the Council of National Defense, August 29, 1916. Each state formed a State Council that oversaw the structure and organization of smaller county councils, community councils, women's committee, and black auxiliary councils. Scholarship focused on Arkansas State Council of Defense (ASCD) is scarce, but scholarship on Colored Auxiliary Council of Defense (CACD) for Arkansas is virtually nonexistent. This digital history project, titled The Arkansas Colored Auxiliary Council: Black Activism during World War I, 1917-1918, explores the history of CACD, its formation, individuals involved, and some of its …


Euromodernity's Undertone: On Reconceptualizing Political Speech, Derefe Chevannes Apr 2019

Euromodernity's Undertone: On Reconceptualizing Political Speech, Derefe Chevannes

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation contends speech is indispensable to politics. It begins with Aristotle, whose conception of political speech grounds our modern understanding. I argue the Aristotelian position is colonizing insofar as it essentializes speech as sound. The consequence is that speech becomes phonocentric, privileging a particular mode of communication. This raises the issue of Deaf subjects who engage politics in non-phonocentric ways. That is, their speech is seen in what I contend is a visual vernacular. Subsequently, I turn to the issue of race. If Deaf subjects raise questions about what it means to speak, Black subjects, who speak audibly and …


Robbing The Cradle Of Civilization: The Effects Of Warfare On Iraqi Archaeology, Carmedy West Apr 2019

Robbing The Cradle Of Civilization: The Effects Of Warfare On Iraqi Archaeology, Carmedy West

Proceedings of GREAT Day

In 2003, United States forces invaded Iraq, adding further complications to an already troubled archaeological scene. However, studies in Iraq have been significantly under fire since the Gulf War in 1990 and the frequency at which sites are destroyed or looted makes progress and preservation difficult. Given the extreme cultural importance of Iraqi archaeology to its own nation and to world society, how does this affect our own histories and what should we do to protect it? By studying the effects of war and looting on the National Museum of Baghdad as well as important sites such as Ur, Eridu, …


Fault Line, Sheena Mckinney Apr 2019

Fault Line, Sheena Mckinney

Proceedings of GREAT Day

This is an essay about coming to terms with the fact that your parents are never really who you think they are. This is an essay about coming to terms with why your parents are who they are. This is an essay about coming to terms with your parents in general. This is an essay about refusing terms, like a nihilistic psychoanalyst. It is not a self-help guide, and it certainly is not a how-to. It is photos pinned to a clothes line, it is a terrarium not fully formed. It is what had to be said, and done.
