Review Of Reconsidering Feminist Research In Educational Leadership. Michelle D. Young, & Linda Skrla (Editors)., Mark A. Giesler

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Reconsidering Feminist Research in Educational Leadership is rich feminist food for thought for both the novice and experienced researcher. Dubbed as "a critical reflection on the field of feminist research in educational leadership as a whole" (p. 3), the work is a three-part collection of articles edited by Michelle D. Young and Linda Skrla. In Part 1, four authors expose methodological dilemmas that "contradict and unsettle the foundational beliefs of many feminist researchers" (p. 4). Part 2 explores alternative, expanded methodologies based on the criticisms of Part 1. Part 3 is an application of the "reconsidered methods and epistemolgies" (p. …

First Women, Marilyn L. Grady, Barbara Y. Lacost

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Perhaps those who write about women leaders should frame their works by referring to First Women. Certainly much of the writing about women and their leadership is groundbreaking. We are at the beginning stages of writing about women in leadership and women who are "firsts" in many of their accomplishments. The manuscripts in this issue of the Journal of Women in Educational Leadership reflect the accomplishments of First Women.

First Things First: Writing Strategies, Marilyn L. Grady

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

This is a new section of the Journal of Women in Educational Leadership. The purpose of this column is to encourage writers to write and to offer suggestions about writing. Mary Poppin's "Well begun is half done" should be the mantra of the writer!

Women In History--Mary Seacole, Bonnie Mckay Harmer

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Born in Jamaica in 1805, Mary Seacole (nee Grant), was the daughter of a Black Creole boarding house owner and a Scottish Army officer. Like many Creole doctress women, Mary waS taught African herbal medicine arts from her mother. In addition to understanding traditional herbal medicine, she gleaned an understanding of Western medicine from the British military physicians who were stationed on the island colony. Mother Seacole, as she was affectionately called, garnered an outstanding reputation as a compassionate nurse and a competent doctress as she cared for sick and injured British officers and their families (Seacole, 1988). Widowed by …

Voices Of Women In The Field--The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, Barbara A. Marchese

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Editor's note: One of the frequently mentioned challenges noted by principals is finding adequate time to complete all the tasks that present themselves. Writing for journals is not on the priority list of most principals. Although Dr. Marchese agreed to "write" an article, in fact the real world of the principalship took precedence over the writing task. This article, then, is the result of a telephone conversation, lunch and a writing "collaboration"-my fingers, her words. (Grady)

Mentoring Women Principals, Cheryl Arthur, Trudy A. Salsberry

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

This review of the literature focuses first on the common reasons for the need for mentoring (professional development, changing roles, principal shortage, under representation of women, and barriers) and continues with a definition and description of mentoring. Finally, the current status of mentoring is summarized followed by a discussion of the implications for research.

Leadership-Skilled Women Teachers Who Choose The Classroom Over Administration: Career Choice Or Career Constraint?, Susan R. Wynn

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Twelve women were interviewed regarding their choice to remain in the classroom, their perceptions of the principal-ship, and the barriers for women who might be interested in school administration. Two presentations of the data are given, with the first addressing explicit reasons and the second using a post-modem feminist framework.

Maternal Colonialism: White Women And Indigenous Child Removal In The American West And Australia, 1880–1940, Margaret D. Jacobs

Department of History: Faculty Publications

This study of white women’s involvement in the removal of indigenous children in a comparative, international context offers an opportunity for recasting the history of women and gender in the American West as part of a larger story of gender and settler colonialism around the globe.

Maternalist politics, though professing a concern and sisterhood with all women, did not promote equality between women, but reaffirmed class, racial, and religious hierarchies. Ironically, white women maternalists who sought to use their association with motherhood to gain greater power in society were simultaneously engaged in dispossessing indigenous mothers of their children. In challenging …

"To Oblige My Brethren": The Reformed Funeral Sermons Of Johann Brandmüller, Amy Nelson Burnett

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Sixteenth century Lutheran funeral sermons were intended for both clerical and popular audiences and sought to instruct and console the grieving. Unlike the Lutherans, the Reformed rejected most funeral ceremonial, including the preaching of funeral sermons.The collection of funeral sermons by the Reformed pastor Johann Brandmüller is unique in applying the Reformed style of published sermons, intended primarily as a theological resource for pastors, to a distinctively Lutheran genre. Brandmuller's Funeral Sermons (1572) was a theological compendium devoted to scripture passages deemed appropriate for funerals. The 380 sermons covered topics that could be preached at the funerals of people from …

Neither Grobalized Nor Glocalized: Fuguet’S Or Lemebel’S Metropolis?, J. Agustín Pastén B.

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

I am interested in examining how globalization is having an impact in narrative representation and especially in verifying whether writers embrace or reject global forces and how they do so. Specifically, this article examines both the dilution and the rescuing of "the own" within the parameters of the contemporary Latin America capital city by focusing its attention on very recent literary and theoretical discourses produced in the continent. The incessant influx of novels, short-stories, urban chronicles and other texts into the market occasioned by multinational publishing houses makes it impossible to provide a comprehensive view of literary representation of the …

Review Of Subordinate Subjects: Gender, The Political Nation, And Literary Form In England, 1588-1688 By Mihoko Suzuki, Carole Levin

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Mihoko Suzuki carefully puts together class and gender in her study, Subordinate Subjects: Gender, the Political Nation, and Literary Form in England, 1588-1688, by showing the similarities and linkages as well as the differences between apprentices and women in their desire to be part of the political nation in early modern England. At the time their attempts to gain power and autonomy were ultimately unsuccessful but they did have important ramifications later. Historians and political theorists have traditionally seen the French revolution as the beginning of the ideal of equality, what Suzuki calls "the political imaginary of equality" (2). Yet …

The Myth Of The Swiss Lutherans: Martin Bucer And The Eucharistic Controversy In Bern, Amy Nelson Burnett

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Most accounts of the eucharistic controversy assume that after the Swiss cities rejected the Wittenberg Concord, Martin Bucer had no more influence in Switzerland. In Bern, however, a party supporting Bucer's concord theology dominated the church from the later 1530s through the 1540s. Although traditionally identified as Lutherans, the theological statements of this group demonstrate their loyalty to Bucer's "middle way" between Luther and Zwingli. The expulsion of this party from Bern in 1548 meant the end of Bucer's influence in western Switzerland, finalized by the Consensus Tigurinus, which carefully avoided any Buceran terminology.

Das Museum Für Moderne Und Zeitgenössische Kunst In Bozen, Gerald Steinacher

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Kunst und Kultur erfreuen sich in den letzten Jahren eines ungeahnten Interesses und größter Wertschätzung. Beide sind längst zu einem be· stimmenden Faktor für den Tourismus und die Wirtschaft geworden. Ausstellungen und Museen vermelden BesucherInnenrekorde, Spit. zenwerke erzielen laufend Sensationspreise und speziell in Mitteleuropa ist geradezu ein Boom an Museumsbauten für moderne Kunst zu verzeichnen. Nicht zu übersehen sind auch die Aktivitäten in Graz, Rovereto, Linz und Innsbruck. Südtirol hatte lange Zeit geringes Interesse am Kulturangebot der Moderne - das Land war noch weit bis in die 1960er Jahre ländlich geprägt und bewegte sich in konservativen Kulturhorizonten. Die Provinz Bozen …

20th Century Black Women's Struggle For Empowerment In A White Supremacist Educational System: Tribute To Early Women Educators, Safoura Boukari

Women's and Gender Studies Program: Information and Materials

The goal in this work is to provide a brief overview of the development of Black women‟s education throughout American history and based on some pertinent literatures that highlight not only the tradition of struggle pervasive in people of African Descent lives. In the framework of the historical background, three examples will be used to illustrate women's creative enterprise and contributions to the education of African American children, and overall racial uplift. In doing so, I will refer to how those women struggled to set up schools in a totally hostile society where, race, patriarchy, class and gender, interlocking issues …

The Ultraviolet Protection Factor Of Naturally-Pigmented Cotton, Patricia Cox Crews, Gwendolyn Hustvedt

Department of Textiles, Merchandising and Fashion Design: Faculty Publications

Textile Technology: The sun-blocking properties of a textile are enhanced when a dye, pigment, delustrant, or ultraviolet absorber finish is present that absorbs ultraviolet radiation and blocks its transmission through a fabric to the skin. For this reason, dyed fabrics provide better sun protection than bleached fabrics. Since naturally-colored cottons contain pigments that produce shades ranging from light green to tan and brown, it seemed reasonable to postulate that they would provide better sun protection than conventional bleached cotton, and that natural pigments might prove more durable to laundering and light exposure than dyes, but there is no published research …

Biofibers From Agricultural Byproducts For Industrial Applications, Narendra Reddy, Yiqi Yang

Department of Textiles, Merchandising and Fashion Design: Faculty Publications

Lignocellulosic agricultural byproducts are a copious and cheap source for cellulose fibers. Agro-based biofibers have the composition, properties and structure that make them suitable for uses such as composite, textile, pulp and paper manufacture. In addition, biofibers can also be used to produce fuel, chemicals, enzymes and food. Byproducts produced from the cultivation of corn, wheat, rice, sorghum, barley, sugarcane, pineapple, banana and coconut are the major sources of agro-based biofibers. This review analyses the production processes, structure, properties and suitability of these biofibers for various industrial applications.

Fishing Booths And Fishing Strategies In Medieval Iceland: An Archaeofauna From The [Site] Of Akurvík, North-West Iceland, Colin Amundsen, Sophia Perdikaris, Thomas H. Mcgovern, Yekaterina Krivogorskaya, Matthew Brown, Konrad Smiarowski, Shaye Storm, Salena Modugno, Malgorzata Frik, Monica Koczela

School of Global Integrative Studies: Faculty Publications

Excavations in 1990 in North-West Iceland documented a stratified series of small turf structures and associated midden deposits at the eroding beach at Akurvík which date from the 11th–13th to the 15th–16th centuries AD. The site reflects a long series of small discontinuous occupations, probably associated with seasonal fishing. The shell sand matrix had allowed excellent organic preservation, and an archaeofauna of more than 100,000 identifiable fragments was recovered. The collections are dominated by fish, mainly Atlantic cod, but substantial amounts of whale bone suggest extensive exploitation of strandings or active whaling. This paper briefly summarizes the excavation results, presents …

Kant On Duties To Animals, Nelson T. Potter Jr.

Department of Philosophy: Faculty Publications

According to Kant we human beings are finite rational beings, who also have an animal nature. Kant occasionally speculates that perhaps on other planets there may be quite different sorts of finite rational animals. But of course we have no specific knowledge of any such. Given that fact, all of our duties are duties to other human beings. We can have no duties to God because he is not an object of possible experience. There are no human beings such that they have only duties and no rights--they would be slaves or serfs. And the apparent duties that we have …

No Place Like Home, Sharon L. Kennedy

Sheldon Museum of Art: Catalogs and Publications

Sentiment about home as written in this 16th-century quote is strikingly unchanged. Home provides warmth and protection and therefore meets our most basic utilitarian needs. Symbolically, having a home assures one's place in community, establishes social standing and demonstrates status within society. It is a private place where we relax, let down our guard and nurture relationships. Not having a home makes this security and belonging more difficult to obtain. In No Place Like Home artists explore the house and its transformation to home. Reflecting on the public and private aspects of home and homeless life, works in this exhibition …

Johannes Buxtorfs Charakterisierung Des Judentums: Reformierte Orthodoxie Und Christliche Hebraistik, Stephen G. Burnett

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

Die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit dem Judentum erhielt durch Johannes Buxtorf (1564-1629) eine neue Perspektive. Obwohl sein Zugang durch die Theologie der Orthodoxie geprägt war, zeigte er sich augerordentlich gut informiert über das Judentum. Seine regelmäßigen Kontakte zu Juden und seine tiefe Vertrautheit mit der jüdischen Literatur gehen zurück auf seinen Lehrauftrag als Hebräisch Professor an der Baseler Universität, auf seine Tätigkeit als Zensor der Stadt Basel für Hebräische Druckwerke und auf seine Vertretung der Waldkirch-Druckerei von 1596 bis 1612. Buxtorf lebte und wirkte in einer Zeit, in der jüdisch-christliche Kontakte einen “Zweck” haben mussten, wie Jacob Katz herausgestellt hat. Dennoch …

Risk And Ethics In Biological Control, Ernest S. Delfosse

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

All introduced natural enemies present a degree of risk to nontarget species. Since most biological control programs use relatively host-specific natural enemies, the risk to nontarget species is generally very low, particularly from biological control of weeds, which uses extensively tested and validated host-specificity testing procedures to predict risk. However, many of the published comments about risks of biological control are superficial or misleading, often inappropriately lumping risk from all taxa of agents as “the risk of biological control,” and ignore the potential benefits, rather than dealing with species-by-species risk and benefits. Particularly confounding accurate predictions is the common mixing …

Review Of George Eliot's Dialogue With John Milton, Anna K. Nardo

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

This, despite some blemishes and limitations indicated in passing below, is an examination of selected writings by Milton, the stories about him, and the engagement with his life and works which is reflected in the life and works of George Eliot. Nardo's primary aim is to show how Eliot's 'strenuous dialogue with Milton's life and art ... animated the epic novels she wrote for an age of unbelief' (1). Immediately we are struck by the large claims implied by 'animated' and 'epic' and the convenient but dubious definition of 'an age of unbelief'. The statement does scant service to the …

Romantic Love As A Spiritual Companionship? A Buddhist Re-Reading Of George Eliot, Richard Winter

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

Introduction

Like most of George Eliot's fiction, Daniel Deronda can be read as a story about the possibility of redemption. Gwendolen Harleth' s vanity and ambition make her vulnerable to Grandcourt' s desire for dominance, and their marriage is a disaster. Belatedly, Gwendolen comes to recognise that a marriage to Daniel Deronda instead of Grandcourt might have rescued her from her egotism and led to her moral and emotional salvation. But for Deronda finding a wife is part of exploring a wider social and spiritual significance for his existence - i.e. his Jewish cultural origin and the Zionist religious, historical, …

Review Of Our Daughters Must Be Wives: Marriageable Young Women In The Novels Of Dickens, Eliot And Hardy, Britta Zangen

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

Adopting the' 1st Gent's' maxim from the epigraph to chapter ten of Eliot's Daniel Deronda: 'Our daughters must be wives and to be wives must be what men will choose:/ Men's taste is women's test [ ....] ‘, Britta Zangen sets out to test the accuracy of this epigram throughout the Victorian period. The book is ambitious in scope, placing analysis of the marriageable woman in the complete works of Dickens, Eliot, and Hardy, within a thorough socio-historical framework which details shifting attitudes to the Woman Question from the 1840s to the 1890s. These weighty sections of historical 'context' are …

Adam Bede, Geoffrey Beevers

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

Adam Bede is not easily adaptable to the stage. Its structure is essentially narrative rather than dramatic, and much of its interest consists in the probing of moral issues and analysis of motive. A straightforward retelling of the plot without any sort of commentary (as often happens with television adaptations) would leave it an empty shell. Geoffrey Beevers is well aware of this and is concerned to preserve as much of George Eliot's own voice as he can. One way of doing this would have been to include a 'voice over' explaining, commenting and interpreting (as was done for example …

Japanese Branch Report 2004, Keiji Yata

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

On Saturday, 27 November 2004, the eighth annual convention of the George Eliot Fellowship of Japan was held at Literature Hall in Kobe College (Kobe Jogakuin).

The morning session began with an opening address by Kazuo Fujikawa (Okayama University), followed by a welcome address by Masako Hirai (Kobe College). In the morning, we had three papers. The first two papers were introduced and commented upon by Toshie Maeda (Kansai University), while Hiroshi Oshima (Hyogo University of Teacher Education) introduced and commented upon the third.

Nana Yano (Shirayuri College) read the first paper, 'Hetty and Water Imagery in Adam Bede'. Her …
