Impressions Of Danishness In Chicago And Racine: Selected Results From A Questionnaire, Birgit Flemming Larsen Jan 2001

Impressions Of Danishness In Chicago And Racine: Selected Results From A Questionnaire, Birgit Flemming Larsen

The Bridge

At the beginning of 1999, The Danish Emigration Archives in cooperation with the Royal Danish Consulate General in Chicago undertook a preliminary investigation of Danish emigrants and their descendants in Chicago and Racine, both of them cities that have attracted large numbers of Danes over a long period of time. According to the 1990 federal census, 1,634,669 Americans claim Danish ancestry. Of these, 70,586 reside in Illinois and 80,791 in Wisconsin. The goal was to obtain a picture of the Danish-American societies in the two selected communities by distributing an extensive questionnaire followed up by personal interviews with selected individuals …


Carl Peter Hoiberg, Thorvald Hansen Jan 2001

Carl Peter Hoiberg, Thorvald Hansen

The Bridge

Elsewhere, I have written that Carl Peter Hoiberg (Hojberg) was one of the most controversial figures in what was the Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. He was widely respected for his learning and his abilities. He could teach and preach and inspire as few others could. It has been said, "I doubt very much that any single person in our church has inspired so many young people as did Carl Peter Hoiberg."1 He was at once at academician and one who had devotion to and vision for the folk school. He had a lively sense of curiosity, which he …

Peder Kjolhede-Man Of Action, Thorvald Hansen Jan 2001

Peder Kjolhede-Man Of Action, Thorvald Hansen

The Bridge

Prior to the coming of the Protestant Reformation in 1536, the area in which Peder Kjoilhede (hereinafter Kjolhede) was born and grew up was owned by the Roman Catholic bishops. This area, south of the Limfjord and close to the west coast of Jutland, became the property of the king. It was parceled out by him to those who had rendered service to him, and much later, through division and sales, a portion of it came to be the property of Johan Kjolhede and was known as the farm of Kjolhedegird.

The Relationship Between Academic Self-Concept And The Achievement Expectancies On The Academic Achievement And Persistence Rate Of African-American Freshmen Students, Ira Falls Iii

Theses and Dissertations in Urban Services - Urban Education

This study addressed the use of certain noncognitive variables and their relationship to the academic achievement and persistence rate of African-American freshmen students attending a large, predominately white institution. Academic achievement was defined as a student's cumulative college grade point average and cumulative credits earned at the end of the freshmen year of study. Persistence rate was defined as the number of freshmen who enrolled compared to the percentage of those who re-enrolled for the Fall semester of their sophomore year. Moreover, the purpose of this study was to identify selected variables that are associated with increased African-American academic achievement …


Caste, Desire, And The Representation Of The Gendered Other In U. R. Ananthamurthy's “Samskara,” “Ghatashraddha,” And “Akkayya”, Krishna Manavalli Jan 2001

Caste, Desire, And The Representation Of The Gendered Other In U. R. Ananthamurthy's “Samskara,” “Ghatashraddha,” And “Akkayya”, Krishna Manavalli

English Theses & Dissertations

U.R. Ananthamurthy is an important Kannada writer who is situated in the navya (modern) literary movement that emerged in Karnataka in the post-independence South Indian context. This modern writer's works provide crucial insights into the postcolonial tensions of tradition-modernity, which figure importantly in modern Kannada literature. They engage with the issues of caste and gender in terms of the conflict between tradition and progress in the modern South Indian cultural discourse. Ananthamurthy's novel Samskara written in the 60's, and his short story “Ghatashraddha,” and “Akkayya,” written later, show how this writer's location within the upper caste discourse impacts his commitment …

“The Courtship Of Language And Culture”, Wayan P. Ariati Phd Dec 2000

“The Courtship Of Language And Culture”, Wayan P. Ariati Phd

Wayan P Ariati PhD

I have been teaching Indonesian language to American colleges students for about ten years now. During that time I made a lot of mistakes and experienced many misunderstandings when I tried to get my message across. I couldn’t understand why, because I thought that I was speaking English or Indonesian clearly, but there was often something missing in our communication. From that experience I started to become interested in making a personal observation of students, teachers, relatives and friends who are native speakers of English. The most difficult thing for me while teaching language to foreigners was learning how I …
