Caitlin Clark And History, Richard C. Crepeau
Caitlin Clark And History, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Over the past several weeks one of the major stories in sport in the United States has been Caitlin Clark’s quest for the all-time scoring title in women’s college basketball. Clark with her high-level skills: shooting, passing, rebounding, and defense were a source of amazement to many, especially those for whom women’s basketball and women’s sport have been of marginal interest.
Empowering English-Language Learners Through Acting, Translanguaging, And Collaborative Devising, Natasha L. Yannacanedo
Empowering English-Language Learners Through Acting, Translanguaging, And Collaborative Devising, Natasha L. Yannacanedo
Journal of English Learner Education
The author explores the transformative potential of using acting, translanguaging, and collaborative devising as tools for linguistic and personal development among English Language Learners (ELLs). Through a reflective narrative of teaching Acting I to ELL students, the paper delves into the challenges and successes encountered in integrating acting, translanguaging, and devising into the curriculum. Emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between acting and language learning, the author discusses how expressive language development, vocabulary acquisition, and enhanced pronunciation skills were cultivated. Additionally, the paper considers the role of translanguaging in creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment, where students' linguistic diversity is celebrated …
The Courts And Intercollegiate Athletics, Richard C. Crepeau
The Courts And Intercollegiate Athletics, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Over the past several weeks, the world of college sports has witnessed considerable turmoil and the prospect of major change. The future of the NCAA is in doubt, at least in its current form. The myth of the “student athlete” under the banner of amateurism is dead. The term should be laid to rest and never be seen in print again. It was a fabricated term created by former NCAA president, Walter Byers, designed to allow the NCAA to keep the money earned from intercollegiate athletics for itself, and out of the hands of the athletes.

On Sport and Society
It has been a very busy last six weeks or more for me and in the world of sport. There have been any number of things that have attracted my attention and normally would have prompted some comment here. At some point, I will return to some of those issues and events. Today, I will concentrate on one.
Feminist Cybernetic, Critical Race, Postcolonial, And Crip Propositions For The Theoretical Future Of Human-Machine Communication, Paula M. Gardner, Jess Rauchberg
Feminist Cybernetic, Critical Race, Postcolonial, And Crip Propositions For The Theoretical Future Of Human-Machine Communication, Paula M. Gardner, Jess Rauchberg
Human-Machine Communication
The authors review theoretical trends in HMC research, as well as recent critical interventions in the HMC journal that usefully reshape and expand our research terrain. Conventional research such as positivist and quantified approaches are identified as restraining research questions and delimiting understandings of concepts including subjects, agency and interactivity. Feminist cybernetic, critical race, postcolonial and crip theoretical approaches are offered, examining how they fill research gaps in HMC, expanding content areas explored, and addressing diverse intersectional pressures, situated, and time/space dynamics that impact human machine interaction. The authors suggest these shifts are essential to expanding HMC research to address …

An Environmental History Of The Armed Occupation Act Of 1842: Empire, Cultivation, And Securing The Southernmost Frontier In The Contiguous United States, Gary Desantis
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Armed Occupation Act of 1842 (AOA) remains important to Florida's environmental history because it brought a stalwart band of white pioneers to take advantage of 200,000 acres of relatively untouched wilderness south of Gainesville. The basic tenants of the Act called for heads of households to bear arms against Seminoles, bestowed 160 acres of land to those who farmed at least five acres as well as constructed a domicile, and so succeeded in attracting new migrants that Florida achieved statehood three years later in 1845. The Act was effective in boosting the population-at least in giving Florida the 60,000 …
The Hunt For Charlie Wright: Race And Environment In Florida's Turpentine Industry, Christopher Calton
The Hunt For Charlie Wright: Race And Environment In Florida's Turpentine Industry, Christopher Calton
Florida Historical Quarterly
On December 2, 1922, a Georgia-bound train was departing from the depot at Perry, Florida, when the crew discovered the body of a young girl lying in the tall grass beside the track. Halting the train, they inspected the body to find that the woman was "brutally beaten with some blunt instrument and her throat cut in such a horrible manner that death must have been instantaneous." Blood pooled around her body, and there were clear signs of a struggle. The crew immediately returned to the depot where they alerted the local authorities.

Florida Historical Quarterly
Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales, the secular priest from Jerez de la Frontera who sailed across the Atlantic with Pedro Menendez de Aviles in 1565, can truly be considered one of the "founding fathers" of Florida. Apart from being a key figure in Menendez' expedition, he served as the first vicar of St. Augustine and San Mateo, helped establish the first permanent mission in the United States, and, as Michael Gannon reminds us, celebrated "the first mass in America's first city." An eleven-foot tall statue of the chaplain erected in 1958 on the grounds of Mission Nombre de Dios marks …

Sweet Home Jacksonville: How A Florida City Produced An Early Generation Ofafrican American Civil Rights Lawyers, Richard Brust
Sweet Home Jacksonville: How A Florida City Produced An Early Generation Ofafrican American Civil Rights Lawyers, Richard Brust
Florida Historical Quarterly
Thinking back to his days ofgrowing up in Jacksonville in the late nineteenth century, James Weldon Johnson recalled that "[l]ong after the close of the Reconstruction period Jacksonville was known far and wide as a good town for Negroes." Johnson, an African American lawyer and educator who became a writer in the Harlem Renaissance, remembered that "[w]hen I was growing up, most of the city policemen were Negroes; several members of the city council were Negroes; one or two justices of the peace were Negroes." Indeed, African Americans from all over the country regarded what was then Florida's largest city …
From Hungary To Florida: The Life And Works Of Hungarian Composer Joseph Velezdy, Ethan Watford
From Hungary To Florida: The Life And Works Of Hungarian Composer Joseph Velezdy, Ethan Watford
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida has long been an amalgam of cultures and peoples, only magnifying in its diversity with the rapid and continued population growth since the mid-twentieth century. As a result, the state has garnered an extensive history of varying cultures and groups that have transformed its history and identity. Within these movements stand individuals whose lives and ideals can best represent their groups as a whole. The life of Joseph Velezdy, a seemingly innocuous Central Florida retiree, is one such example. On the surface, Joseph was a childless retired barber from Miami who spent the final decades of his life with …
"Made And Executed By The White Race:" Florida's Constitution Of 1865 And "Black Codes", Alexander J. Bowen
"Made And Executed By The White Race:" Florida's Constitution Of 1865 And "Black Codes", Alexander J. Bowen
Florida Historical Quarterly
A common metric in confirming a state's Southern identity is its commitment to white supremacy, what U.B. Phillips argued was the "central theme of Southern history." Florida was the third state to secede on January 10, 1861; white lawmakers readily enacted Jim Crow segregation and disenfranchised African Americans after Reconstruction; and, from 1877 to 1950, Florida ranked first in the southeast in lynchings per capita. The Floridian commitment to white supremacy was endemic in the state's constitution of 1865 and in the "Black Codes" passed early during Reconstruction, making Florida's first postwar government one of the harshest and most reactionary …

Rock You Like A Hurricane: A State Of The Field In Hurricane Historiography, Ian Seavey
Rock You Like A Hurricane: A State Of The Field In Hurricane Historiography, Ian Seavey
Florida Historical Quarterly
The study of hurricanes and their effects on human society is a relatively new endeavor for academic historians. No published historiographic essay or article exists save a brief section in Stuart B. Schwartz's 2005 article "Hurricanes and the Shaping of the Circum-Caribbean Societies." This is due to the fact that hurricanes are traditionally analyzed in scientific ways that focus on veracity, storm track, wind speed, and storm surge. With the increasing scholarship in the field ofenvironmental history over the past thirty years, more historians now examine how hurricanes significantly impact human communities. The study of hurricanes most assuredly fits into …

Orange Lake Village (Pinellas County) And The Origins Of The "Florida Retirement Village", Anna Vemer Andrzejewski
Orange Lake Village (Pinellas County) And The Origins Of The "Florida Retirement Village", Anna Vemer Andrzejewski
Florida Historical Quarterly
On July 10, 1955, Orange Lake Village debuted to the public. Erected in what was then an unincorporated part of Pinellas County, about 15 miles northwest ofdowntown St. Petersburg and approximately seven miles from the Gulf Coast, the 150-acre subdivision stood on the shores of freshwater Lake Seminole. Built of concrete block and standing one-story in height, the first model houses in Orange Lake Village occupied small lots, measuring roughly 4000 square feet in size. Even by post-World War II standards, the dwellings were modest in scale; most contained one or two bedrooms. If the houses and lots were minimal, …

Hidden In The Shadows Of Florida's Seminole History: Charlotte L. Conrad, The First United States Indian Service Field Nurse From 1934 To 1946, Christine Ardalan
Florida Historical Quarterly
On August 31, 1934, three months after the Bureau ofIndian Affairs (BIA) assigned Charlotte Lillian Conrad (1892-1980) to become the first Indian Service Field Nurse for the Seminoles of Florida, she typed up the report to her federal employer vividly illustrating her introduction to her public health work. Her narrative "A Novice Penetrates the Glades," captured her first battle within the unique location to seive the indigenous people at that time known as the "Florida Seminoles" but consisting of two linguistically diverse groups of Creek speakers and Mikasuki speakers. On this occasion Conrad's journey to reach an ill man of …

Newley Discovered Documents (May-August 1898) Of An American Volunteer Cavalry's Cuban Incursion And The Battle Of Tayacoba (Cuba) In The Spanish-American War, Paul Michael Taylor
Florida Historical Quarterly
This article presents the handwritten correspondence and transcriptions of nine previously unpublished letters to his family by William Louis Abbott (1860-1936), written from May to August of 1898 during his time as a volunteer in the exclusive "irregular" cavalry of volunteers who assembled in Tampa to battle the Spanish during the Spanish-American War. These letters comprise a substantive addition to the corpus of primary data on key historical figures in this Tampa-based effort to aid the Cuban insurgency as part of the Spanish-American War, and also contain first-hand accounts of conditions at Tampa, Florida, where U.S. military soldiers and irregular …

"The Very Finest Place On Earth": Governor Leroy Collins And The Promise Of Opportunity, George B. Crawford
Florida Historical Quarterly
LeRoy Collins' tenure as Governor of Florida (1955-1961) has drawn substantial attention from successive generations ofhistorians and journalists. Most studies of his leadership emphasize his efforts to push for a revision of the state's 1885 Constitution, give urban residents an equitable voice in the legislature and, eventually, reject racial subordination. These appraisals also accent his implementation of improvements in the administration of state government. Collins' success in winning the office with votes from city residents and, gradually, Black Floridians presaged a revolution in the exercise of political power in the state. The combined emergence of these constituencies would make possible …
