Voices From The Modern Breakthrough. Danish Writing 1870-1930. Volume 1: Male Voices And Volume 2: Women’S Voices. Ed. And Trans. David Young, Poul Houe
The Bridge
In 2017, the small and little-known Freyja Press in Odense (www. freyjapress.dk) issued two volumes of Danish short stories from 1870- 1930 in English translation, all “available for free download in three formats: EPUB, Kindle, PDF” (and with an additional PDF file “for those people interested in the original Danish text” freely accessible as well). Editor and translator David Young writes in forewords to both volumes about his background as an English expat, who came to Denmark in 2002 and soon enrolled in “two History of Literature short courses run by Folkeuniversitetet” in Odense, where he now lives and practices …
A People So Different From Themselves: British Attitudes Towards India And The Power Dynamics Of The East India Company, Eric Gray
Murray State Theses and Dissertations
Gray, Eric, A People So Different from Themselves: British Attitudes Towards India and the Power Dynamics of the East India Company. Master of Arts (History), April, 2019, Murray State University, Murray, Kentucky.
Today, many characteristics of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century British Raj are well ingrained in the public consciousness, particularly Victorian Era Britons’ general disdain for numerous aspects of the many cultures found on the Indian Subcontinent. Moreover, while many characteristics of the preceding East India Company’s rule in India were no less exploitative of Indian peoples, evidence shows a much different relationship between British and Indian cultures during the …
The Osi And The Nazis: America's Struggle To Expel Nazi War Criminals And Their Allies Decades After The Second World War, Evan S. Murray
The Osi And The Nazis: America's Struggle To Expel Nazi War Criminals And Their Allies Decades After The Second World War, Evan S. Murray
Honors Undergraduate Theses
This thesis examines the history of the Office of Special Investigations' campaign to identify, denaturalize, and deport Nazis and Nazi collaborators. By analyzing documents from the work of the Office's predecessor, the Special Litigations Unit, in 1977, up to and including the case of George Lindert in 1995, this research aims to provide an understanding of the Office's origins, methods, and motivations. This work was done through the consultation of court records, internal memos, letters, an official government report on the Office's activities, other literature written on this topic, and interviews conducted by the author with two former members of …
Queen Catherine's Material Body, Kyra Zapf
Queen Catherine's Material Body, Kyra Zapf
Summer Research
In an era when most women were at the mercy of their husbands and the courts who ruled in their favor, Catherine managed a long and drawn out fight against being divorced by the most powerful man in England. Material goods contributed to much of Catherine's autonomy. Examples include: naming of items in her will, royal jewels she owned as personal property, and gifts she gave and received. Catherine used her wardrobe as a political statement. For centuries England's queens have been instrumental in creating an image for the monarchy, one tied not only to their clothing and jewels but …
Gis Analysis Of The Mid-Nineteenth Century Emigration Of The Old Lutherans From Prussia, Joel Seewald
Gis Analysis Of The Mid-Nineteenth Century Emigration Of The Old Lutherans From Prussia, Joel Seewald
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
The Old Lutherans constituted fewer than 20% of the Germans who emigrated from Prussia between 1835 and 1854. In this study, more than 483 cities and villages of origin of 6,911 Old Lutherans were mapped. These origins were in the central provinces of Brandenburg, Pomerania, Posen, Saxony, and Silesia. More emigrants came from Pomerania overall and during every time period except 1849-54. The areas with the most emigrants were north central Pomerania, northern Brandenburg, southeast Brandenburg, and western Silesia. Emigrant destinations were primarily America and Australia. American destinations included New York, Wisconsin, and Texas, but the state that many went …
Camino A La Interseccionalidad: Una Aproximación Al Desarrollo De Ideas Feministas En La España Contemporánea, Kierra Mitchell
Camino A La Interseccionalidad: Una Aproximación Al Desarrollo De Ideas Feministas En La España Contemporánea, Kierra Mitchell
Scripps Senior Theses
Esta tesis utiliza la interseccionalidad como lente para hacer un análisis de los textos culturales y activistas para explicar cómo se manifiestan las ideas feministas en estos dos períodos cruciales de avance del feminismo en España: el primer cuarto del siglo veinte y las primeras décadas del siglo veintiuno. La interseccionalidad sirve como una prisma de análisis que permite entender los sistemas hegemónicos de poder. Esta tesis analiza ejemplos de textos y demandas que ilustran las preocupaciones y aparatos ideológicos que sustentan diferentes aproximaciones al feminismo en estas dos épocas. Un interés específico, en especial en la segunda parte, es …
Memories, Eva Becsei-Kilborn
Memories, Eva Becsei-Kilborn
Swiss American Historical Society Review
It was in the early 1990's that I first met Bob. He was teaching, first as a Soros Foundation Fellow and then as a Fullbright Professor at the Lajos Kossuth University in Debrecen, a city in eastern Hungary. It was only a couple of years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Communism. This was a time when it had finally become possible for Hungarians to travel freely in the world, but in practice very few of us were able to afford to do so.

'A Room Of Their Own': Heritage Tourism And The Challenging Of Heteropatriarchal Masculinity In Scottish National Narratives, Carys O'Neill
'A Room Of Their Own': Heritage Tourism And The Challenging Of Heteropatriarchal Masculinity In Scottish National Narratives, Carys O'Neill
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores the visibility of women in traditionally masculine Scottish national narratives as evidenced by their physical representation, or lack thereof, in the cultural heritage landscape. Beginning with the 1707 Act of Union between Scotland and England, a moment cemented in history, literature, and popular memory as the beginning of a Scottish rebirth, this thesis traces the evolution of Scottish national identity and the tropes employed for its assertion to paint a clearer picture of the power of strategic selectivity and the effects of sacrifice in the process of community definition. Following the transformation of the rugged Celtic Highlander …

The Forgotten Third Post-War Berlin Crisis: The Mobilization Of The Reserves, Marvin L. Simner
The Forgotten Third Post-War Berlin Crisis: The Mobilization Of The Reserves, Marvin L. Simner
Psychology Publications
Two major crises occurred during the occupation of Berlin shortly after the end of World War II, both of which have been well documented and are summarized below. There was a third crisis, however, that has been largely forgotten but produced a substantial alteration in the organization of the National Guard, the Army Ready Reserve units, and the authority given to the president to mobilize the reserves. The purpose of this report is to review the events that surrounded this third crisis and how the impact of these events may have contributed to the Cuban Missile Crisis that took place …

Наталья Пушкарева: Гендер И Историческое Наследие В Постсоветской России, Choi Chatterjee, Karen Petrone
History Faculty Publications
Авторы статьи анализируют основные этапы и особенности академической карьеры Натальи Львовны Пушкаревой. В публикации дается краткое представление об исследованиях, посвященных российским женщинам, проводившимся в 1990–2000-х годах. Международные контакты важны для создания и развития отделов и центров изучения женщин и гендерных проблем. Западные гранты сыграли положительную роль в деле распространения исследований по женской истории в России и в странах Восточной Европы. Однако гранты предоставлялись в основном в области прикладных социальных исследований. Наталья Пушкарева сыграла ключевую роль в развитии теоретических аспектов женских исследований в России. Ее книга “Women in Russian History from the Tenth to the Twentieth Century” стала первой монографией по …
Blood, Water And Mars: Soviet Science And The Alchemy For A New Man, Sophie Y. Andarovna
Blood, Water And Mars: Soviet Science And The Alchemy For A New Man, Sophie Y. Andarovna
All Master's Theses
The themes of blood, water and Mars in Soviet science and technology show the strong utopian and even religious foundations of Soviet society, which invariably centered around forging a new environment and, in so doing, a new variety of human to inhabit it. In the minds and experiments of some of the radical men behind Russia’s Revolution, blood was to create a more advanced, biologically “equal” humanity capable of potential immortality, while water was harnessed with the millenarian aim of transforming the Soviet Union’s vast landscape into fields of bountiful fertility, as well as cities of efficient industry. Mars represents …
Enlightened Agricultural Improvement In Eighteenth-Century Scotland, Amanda M. Widney
Enlightened Agricultural Improvement In Eighteenth-Century Scotland, Amanda M. Widney
All Master's Theses
Eighteenth-century Scotland is marked by the impact of new ideas from the Scottish Enlightenment that influenced agricultural revolution. Practices that had been used for over hundreds of years with little change, went through a dramatic agricultural reimagining during this time period. Scottish Enlightenment “improvers,” like Henry Home, Lord Kames, demonstrate this push towards “progress.” In particular, Lord Kames represents a conundrum. He, like many other Scots, believed in the authenticity of Ossian’s translated poems by James Macpherson. This patriotic devotion to Scottish culture influenced the way that Kames went about “improving” his own lands and who he chose to work …

The Chronicle Of William Pelhisson: A Microcosm Of Early Thirteenth Century Papal Inquisition, Emily Petillon
Scripps Senior Theses
This study will use Pelhisson’s account of the Toulouse inquisition of 1230-1238 as a case study into the causes of the inquisition, the mindset of the Dominicans who carried it out, and the institutionalization of the inquisition process.
La Modernité Tunisienne Dévoilée : Une Étude Autour De La Femme Célibataire, Madison Wagner
La Modernité Tunisienne Dévoilée : Une Étude Autour De La Femme Célibataire, Madison Wagner
Scripps Senior Theses
This thesis explains recent accounts of discrimination and cutbacks in reproductive health spaces in Tunisia. Complicating dominant analyses, which attribute these events to the post-revolution political atmosphere which has allowed the proliferation of islamic extremism, I interpret these instances as a manifestation of a deeply rooted stigma against sexually active single women. I trace this stigma’s inception to the contradictory way that Habib Bourguiba conceptualized modernity after independence, and the responsibility he assigned to Tunisian women to embody that modernity. This responsibility remains salient today, and is putting Tunisian women in an increasingly untenable and vulnerable position.
After independence, Bourguiba …
Trading Spaces: An Analysis Of Gendered Spaces Before, During, And After The French Revolution Of 1789 And The Mexican Revolution Of 1910, Kevin Kilroy
Scripps Senior Theses
This thesis investigates the affects of the French Revolution of 1789 and the Mexican Revolution of 1910 on gender roles in their respective societies. Women that contributed to political discourse challenged separations of public and private spheres, which dictated order in the late and postrevolutionary periods of France and Mexico. Given the deliberate acts by both postrevolutionary governments to send women to the periphery of their respective societies, it is vital to revisit the examples of female influence that shaped the early French and Mexican Revolutions. The understanding that comes from a detailed analysis of the parameters of gendered spaces …
Interactive Inundation Map, Robert Tiegs
Interactive Inundation Map, Robert Tiegs
Publications and Scholarship
The late 1500s was a difficult period for the Dutch in terms of water management. Over the course of the century, the regional water management boards had difficult maintaining the flood defenses, as a result natural floods became more frequent and devastating, as evidence in the All Saints Day Flood in 1570. At the same time, the Dutch Wars of Independence erupted, which exacerbated the problems through the addition of countless man-made floods, carried out to secure military objectives. These military inundations were ubiquitous and accompanied nearly every single military encounter. This digital history exhibit provides a brief account of …
Postcards Of The Mind, Robert E. Bieder
Postcards Of The Mind, Robert E. Bieder
Swiss American Historical Society Review
You would think by Autumn one would know
That blue cornflowers close at night,
That raccoons call to each other down at Blossom Creek, .
That dry corn stalks speak of winter to the moon.
In Spring,
l stole swiftly through the flowers· and the corn
To see her,
Whom I chased that summer through the cornfields,
Chased her down the rows that whispered in the night,.
Until I caught her and we fell in love.

The Return Of The Ancestors, Robert E. Bieder
The Return Of The Ancestors, Robert E. Bieder
Swiss American Historical Society Review
In 1971, an Iowa road crew accidentally unearthed an unmarked
cemetery. There were twenty-eight skeletons. Twenty-seven belonged to
whites, and state money quickly paid for their reburial. The other, a young
female Indian was packed in a box and shipped off to the University of
Iowa and the state archeologist. A local Indian by the name Running
Moccasins learned of the Incident and demanded that the woman's bones
be returned for proper burial.
