Students from Dr. Judith Ezekiel's Spring 2015 Women's Studies courses, "Feminist Activism" and "Women, Gender, and Black Freedom Movements," collaborated to create a booklet that presents the lives of a dozen black women who were killed by the police or who died while in police custody, in order to argue for the inclusion of black women in the "Black Lives Matter" movement, not merely as originators and supporters of the cause but as a group that is protected and remembered within the movement in the same capacity as black men.

Master of Humanities Capstone Projects

This creative thesis project looks at the Women’s Suffrage Movement in Dayton, Ohio between the years of 1890 and 1920, when the 19th Amendment passed. Research is presented to profile seven historical women who took part in the local Women’s Suffrage Movement. This project presents these women as pioneers and activists. It looks at how they interacted with the larger national Women’s Suffrage Movement, how it affected them and their actions, and how they in turn contributed to the larger movement, if they did at all. Profiles are on the following seven women: Hallie Q. Brown, Katharine Kennedy Brown, Martha …

Living Female American Composers Of Selected Flute Music Of The 20th And 21st Centuries, Donna J. Hangen

Master of Humanities Capstone Projects

Gender has an impact on 20th and 21st century female flute music composers and their ability to have music published and performed. Rigid gender roles and stereotypes often prevent female composers from being able to share their music with the world. Because their music may not be published it is not readily available and is not heard, so they receive no publicity or recognition. My creative work was a flute recital of music written by living female 20th and 21st century American composers which will accompany my project essay. The potential benefits of this project include fostering a greater interest …

Assessing the impact of localized change is the very premise of Francine Prose's novel A Changed Man; 2006 winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. Prose promotes ideas of peace through the connection forged between two unlikely characters.

World War I was said to be the war to end all wars. But who were the men that fought this war? What happened to them before they were soldiers? And what remained after? Andrew Krivak's short novel The Sojourn, offers some answers to these questions as well as offering a meditation on language and storytelling as tools for promoting peace. Words and shared language build relationships in this book. And at the end of the Great War, which consumes the middle portion of the novel, the shadow of these relationships is what remains, along with the remnants of …

What happens to a man when he is stripped of his freedom? What happens to a person when they are told they aren’t deserving of a fair chance? These are questions that, thankfully, very few people ever have to answer. Most are lucky to be born into a world where they are treated equally by those around them. Wilbert Rideau was not so lucky; he was born into a world that said he didn't matter. Trapped inside Jim Crow society with very few opportunities, Rideau would eventually make the choice to commit a terrible crime. In the aftermath of his …
