The Fight For Purity: Hiram Evans And The Second Ku Klux Klan, Ava Jackson Oct 2024

The Fight For Purity: Hiram Evans And The Second Ku Klux Klan, Ava Jackson

English: Student Scholarship & Creative Works

The Klu Klux Klan of the 1920s, known as the second Klan, built its three to six million members quicker than any previous group. The Klan continued the traditions of earlier generations, including the notorious robes, masks, and racist attitudes toward African Americans. In addition, anti-Semitism and anti-Catholicism grew, which further increased animosity and reshaped what it meant to be a terrorist in America. Through the leadership of Hiram Wesley Evans, a small-practice dentist, who quickly rose in the ranks to later become Imperial Wizard of the Klan in 1922, the Klan was altered in a way never seen before. …


Bridging Thought And Action: History, The Digital Humanities, And Building The Foundations Of Asian/American Political Thought, Vivian Yan-Gonzalez Oct 2024

Bridging Thought And Action: History, The Digital Humanities, And Building The Foundations Of Asian/American Political Thought, Vivian Yan-Gonzalez

Asian American Studies Faculty Articles and Research

This article argues that understanding the historical contours of Asian American electoral engagement provides an essential foundation for studying Asian/American political thought. However, historians have tended to adopt a broad understanding of "politics" beyond traditional civic and electoral politics, due to limited historical sources on Asian American electoral engagement and the longstanding interest among Asian Americanist scholars in alternative politics. I reintroduce Asian American electoral history as a vital and viable subject of study by exploring how scholars can use digital humanities tools and methods to build the archives of Asian American politics and to explore new insights and questions.

This piece was written to answer the question 'If we never had to feel bad emotions, would we take that opportunity?'

My Favorite Tree, Noelle Yew Oct 2024

My Favorite Tree, Noelle Yew

English Student Projects

My story is about a tree that hates the spring. The tree is crotchety and doesn't enjoy the budding life that comes with the changing of the seasons. It enjoys winter, because it knows that winter is where it will always end up. The tree is bitter because it is so old. It has seen and experienced so much death in its life, that it hates the hope of life that spring brings with it. It has resigned itself to death and gloom.


Chains, Rianna Van Stempvoort Oct 2024

Chains, Rianna Van Stempvoort

English Student Projects

Struggling to attain perfection is to be enchained and imprisoned by your own mind. It is to look at a blank piece of paper and imagine all that you could do wrong, rather than all that you could do right. Perfection comes in the form of constant erasing, frustration, and questioning; however, it is by daring to push against these chains that you can find true freedom. And it is when you discover this freedom that your entire world will change and you will no longer be bound by chains.

The Provenance Of A Pali- And Thai-Language Manuscript At The Rollins College Library: A Buddhist Book Of Merit And Its Long Journey From Southeast Asia To America, Wenxian Zhang

Faculty Publications

Through researching the provenance of a Buddhist manuscript written in the Pali and Thai languages currently held at Rollins, this article seeks to answer the question of how a religious document created in Thailand ended up in a liberal arts college library in America. Regarded as an act of devotion by many Buddhist followers in Southeast Asia, the use of folding manuscripts (samut khoi) has been observed for centuries. The folding manuscripts served as handbooks and chanting manuals for Buddhist monks, who often recited in religious ceremonies while paying tributes to the deceased, with the hope of reincarnation in a …

Reading Feyerabend Between Philosophy Of Science, Hermeneutics – And God, Babette Babich

Articles and Chapters in Academic Book Collections

This essay seeks to make the case for reading hermeneutic philosophy of science with Feyerabend. In addition, there is the question of science, as Nietzsche raises this question along with Feyerabend’s programmatic recommendations for traditional philosophy of science. Including a discussion of method in history as in theology and philology, including Nietzsche’s hermeneutics, this essay reviews Feyerabend’s exchanges with Lakatos along with the resistance of mainstream philosophy of science to hermeneutics as such. A discussion of Feyerabend’s ‘gods’ engages what he invokes as ontological abundance as well as his criticism of the limitations of Popper’s critique of Parmenides requiring both …

Ai Virtual Assistant For Student Disability Services: Implementing Rag-Enhanced Chatbots In Higher Education Support, Hannah Sussman, Jon Chun

IPHS 391: Interdisciplinary AI Frontiers

When students with disabilities enter the college arena they lose many of the resources that supported them throughout high school, and suddenly are responsible for advocating for their needs and rights themselves. For some, this is an easy transition, but for most the sudden shift in setting, expectations, and responsibilities leaves them unprepared to transition smoothly into college life. A chatbot with sufficient institutional data and information about disabilities and accommodations could help college students with disabilities by providing immediate and personalized guidance throughout their college experience. The proposed accessibility support system implements a hybrid architecture combining a Retrieval-Augmented Generation …
