Fulling Around: The Shaker Fulling Mill At South Union, Kentucky, Donna C. Parker, Jonathan J. Jeffrey

SCL Faculty and Staff Publications

The fulling mill was an essential component of any successful early-19th century woolen industry. Fullers applied finishing techniques to cloth in order to create a stronger, more attractive, and more useful fabric. In 1813 the Shakers at Kentucky’s South Union community constructed a fulling mill that serviced their own demands for textile finishing processes as well as those of area residents. The fulling mill, aided by the Shakers’ three-year-old carding mill, developed by the 1860s into a full-fledged woolen factory.

A 100kat Merton' s books, journals, and letters suggests that his understanding of the fundamental aspects of Zen closely cohered with his lifelong desire to live a contemplative life. Also, Merton's perspective on religious plurality was characterized by an openness …

Black Enfranchisement In Kentucky: The Impact Of The Voting Rights Act Of 1965, Gail Joyce Guiling

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

After the Civil War, newly freed slaves hoped to gam the full benefits of American citizenship. In 1870, ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment led African Americans to believe that they had attailled the cherished right of suffrage. Nearly a century elapsed, however, before the proffered right became a reality. The VotingRightsActof1965 fulfilled the promise of the Fifteenth Amendment. The long road between 1870 and 1965, however, was littered with the carcasses of attempted disfranchising schemes. The states of the Deep South were not alone in their efforts to prevent enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment or in their refusal to surrender …

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

William Faulkner' s Go Down, Moses (1942) is a novel that depicts the complicated family history of the McCaslins.

Voices Of Color: The Presence Of Minority Broadcast Media Professionals, Kristi Runyon

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

'Workplace diversity" is becoming something of a catch phrase in the business world. As the United States population diversifies, so must the United States workforce, or so the theory goes. In the broadcasting industry, organizations have issued mandatory minority-hiring regulations. However, a large number of minorities argue that there is much room for improvement when it comes to newsroom diversity. Studies show not only that there is an insufficient number of minorities in front of the camera, but also that there are few minorities in the executive and management offices. Minorities do have a presence in the broadcasting industry, but …

Private Voices Teaching Public Values In The Fiction Of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mary Wilkins Freeman, And Sarah Orne Jewett, Angela Gonzalez

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This thesis re-examines the purpose and value of New England women's local color fiction, asserting that local color functions as the groundwork on which the standards and practices of literary realism are based and as the way that nineteenth-century women writers could promote their domestic ministry. Furthermore, the thesis maintains that Stowe, Freeman, and Jewett utilized literary realism to publicize alternative theologies and progressive communities.
