A Historical Case Study Of Title Ix In Nevada: An Excellent Investment In Our Youth, Jason Clark
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The purpose of this study was to examine and document the history of Title IX in the American West, specifically at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), and at Clark County School District (CCSD) in Las Vegas, Nevada. This thesis contends that since the late nineteenth-century, women have utilized sports as a method to shed discriminatory stereotypes, fight for inclusion, and promote gender equality. In addition, the progressive actions of educational administrators and community leaders regarding Title IX make both UNR and CCSD exceptional institutions for gender equality. This thesis contains six chapters including the introduction and conclusion. Chapter 1 …
The Transformation Of American Federalism, 1848-1912, Lance Sorenson
The Transformation Of American Federalism, 1848-1912, Lance Sorenson
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
United States expansion following the Mexican-American War served as the catalyst for a reinvention of American Federalism. While much of the historiography traces the accretion of sovereign power in the national government to events caused by the divisions between northern states and southern states, there is an important and understudied East to West component of the process by which sovereign boundaries changed. The American West is a legal space where the hazily defined and capacious concept of federalism received fuller form and clearer definition. During the late nineteenth century and first few years of the twentieth century, the United States …

Reaching Across Land And Ocean: Daughters Of Bilitis, Minorities Research Group, And Resistance Formation In The International Lesbian Network, Linsey Scriven
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
From 1964 to 1972, the lesbian rights organizations, Daughters of Bilitis and Minorities Research Group, shaped the resistance of lesbians in North America and Europe by providing a platform to challenge harmful narratives about lesbianism in their magazines, The Ladder and Arena Three. This thesis is the first to examine the close relationship of the Daughters of Bilitis and Minorities Research Group, and how their collaboration helped lesbians in the international lesbian network move from the shadows onto the international stage years before Stonewall. More often than not, DOB and MRG leaders could not agree on what was “best” for …

My exploration of Cajun song, from its origins as a French ballade into popular American song, will reveal the musical characteristics of Cajun music. My study’s purpose is to increase ones understanding of the history of Cajun song and its music, and then determine why it is missing from the canon of American song repertoire. My study will include an analysis, performance and recording of Cajun song settings composed and arranged by Arles Estes. My investigation will research five traditional Cajun songs as they pertain to Estes’ settings in order to broaden the roots of American song literature and enhance …
Grand Solo Op.14 & Rondo Op2. N3: The Sonority Of The Classical Era, Hugo Maia Nogueira
Grand Solo Op.14 & Rondo Op2. N3: The Sonority Of The Classical Era, Hugo Maia Nogueira
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
During the early nineteenth-century, the writing for classical-guitar elevated the instrument to
the solo concert stage. The appearance of the six-string guitar changed guitar writing.1 With this new
instrument, guitarists had an array of new possibilities to explore in terms of sound and technique.
Fernando Sor (1778-1839) and Dionisio Aguado (1784-1849) were the main artists promoting and
advocating the six-string guitar as a serious concert instrument in Spain.2
This document will focus on two guitar masterworks: Fernando Sor's Grand Solo Op.14 and
Dionisio Aguado's Rondo Op2. N3. It will explain why Grand Solo Op.14 and Rondo Op2. N3 can
synthesize …

British Appeasement 1936-1939: The Debate Between Parliament And The Public, Kylie D. Johnson
British Appeasement 1936-1939: The Debate Between Parliament And The Public, Kylie D. Johnson
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
While it is now clear that appeasement of Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler did not prevent another war, there is a historical debate on whether British appeasement policies were shameful, a set of well-intentioned blunders, an attempt at keeping peace internationally, or a strategy to keep domestic resources focused on Britain. Within the debate between historians, lies a debate between the British public and Parliament, and even within Parliament itself. An important factor in the British decision to implement appeasement policy in the 1930s often underemphasized in the literature is the governmental prioritizing of domestic issues and national security over …
Fourth Time’S A Charm, Ardennes Vickery
Fourth Time’S A Charm, Ardennes Vickery
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
The sources I used to create my short story, Fourth Time’s A Charm, were essential for all aspects of its development. My story concerns the awkward first meeting of King Henry VIII and his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. As with all historical fiction stories, striving for period appropriate details and accurate representations of historical events was crucial. The resources that I was able to access through the UNLV University Libraries not only assisted me throughout my project by streamlining the research process, but proved indispensable for obtaining various primary sources that I may not have been unable to access …
