Tracing The Impact Of Migration In Bangladesh: From Partition To The Pandemic, Sabrin Sarwar
International Journal on Responsibility
The challenge of migration has been multidimensional, with ramifications that range from economic, social, cultural, and even psychological. People have suffered deep trauma, which is reflected through their experiences of homelessness, the act of leaving their homeland or known habitat behind and being forced to travel due to societal pressure. This paper attempts to study migration-based literature and films with a special focus on two films from Bangladesh, Chitra Nodir Pare (Quite flows the River Chitra) and Maati (Back to its Roots).

The Russo-Japanese War: Origins And Implications, Benjamin E. Mainardi
James Madison Undergraduate Research Journal (JMURJ)
The 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War was the first major conflict of the twentieth century and a turning point in the balance of power in East Asia.

More broadly, the aftermath of the war informed Japan’s imperial ambitions in Manchuria—the early stages of World War II in Asia during the 1930s—and continuing Russo-Japanese enmity over Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Island chain.

To Build The Fire Of Revolution, Stephen Roddewig
To Build The Fire Of Revolution, Stephen Roddewig
James Madison Undergraduate Research Journal (JMURJ)
Scholarly examinations of naturalism in Jack London’s 1908 short story “To Build a Fire” often overlook the influence of the socialist political movement.

London’s critiques of Individualism in “How I Became a Socialist” parallel one of his concerns in “To Build a Fire” as his unnamed protagonist progresses through the Yukon with the larger ideals of American society and the capitalist economy guiding his actions. Although masculinity, …
