Allow, Karla Tackett Keller

Student Theses and Dissertations

These works explore our relationships with the natural world. Paint, surface and color are used to communicate this idea. People have a fundamental need to connect with the living things around them. I have moved away from literal images of nature to abstract forms. This non-verbal communication allows the viewer to make his or her own connections. The viewer may be drawn into a moment of reflection as the logical mind is disengaged. The essence of thought is there ready to be discovered. Like the Abstract Expressionists, many techniques are used to apply organic lines and amorphous shapes to canvas. …

Artículos obra entre Hispano/Latinos

As a vicar in Caracas, Venezuela, I ventured every so often to one of the largest Roman Catholic bookstores downtown to peruse various collections of dogmatic treatises. On one of my visits, I started a casual conversation with a Venezuelan priest who asked about my background. After learning that I was a Lutheran seminarian, the priest, somewhat perplexed, exclaimed something like, “Latino Lutheran? That is not possible. You cannot be Latino and Lutheran.”

The Hall Of Fame For Great Americans: Organizational Comatosis Or Hibernation, William N. Thompson, M. Ernita Joaquin Jan 2010

The Hall Of Fame For Great Americans: Organizational Comatosis Or Hibernation, William N. Thompson, M. Ernita Joaquin

Public Policy and Leadership Faculty Research

The world’s first organization that has been specifically designated as a “Hall of Fame” was established in New York City in 1900. The Hall of Fame for Great Americans honors 102 Americans. It has served as a model for hundreds of other “halls of fame,” the most prominent being baseball’s Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, established in 1939. While the Hall of Fame for Great Americans remains the original icon in a history of popular culture museums visited by millions each year, the Hall today is little known, visited by scant few, and in a state of both …

Τρυφη And Υβρισ In The Περι Βιων Of Clearchus, Vanessa B. Gorman, Robert J. Gorman Jan 2010

Τρυφη And Υβρισ In The Περι Βιων Of Clearchus, Vanessa B. Gorman, Robert J. Gorman

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Recent discussions of the fragments of the Περι Βίων have seen the concept of pernicious luxury as a key to understanding aspects of this work of Clearchus. In particular, it is thought that Clearchus reflects a moralizing historiographical schema according to which wealth leads to an effeminate luxury (τρυφή), eventually producing satiety (κόρος), which in turn provokes the afflicted to violence (υβρις), ultimately bringing the subject’s destruction. We maintain, in contrast, that it is anachronistic to attribute this pattern of thought to Clearchus, and further, that the state of the evidence does not permit …


Getting Out Of A Rut: Decolonizing Western Women’S History, Margaret D. Jacobs Jan 2010

Getting Out Of A Rut: Decolonizing Western Women’S History, Margaret D. Jacobs

Department of History: Faculty Publications

For over three decades, western women’s historians have been working not just to challenge male biases within western history scholarship but also to create a more multicultural inclusive narrative. Paradoxically, however, the overarching narrative of western women’s history continues to sideline women of color and to advance a triumphalist interpretation of white women in the West. This essay argues that a multicultural approach has not provided an adequate framework for understanding women and gender in the American West. Instead, western women historians must “decolonize” our narrative and our field through seriously considering the West as a colonial site. To do …

Adolf Eichmann: Ein Optant Aus Tramin, Gerald Steinacher

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Im Mai 2007 taucht in Buenos Aires das Reisedokument eines gewissen Ricardo Klement aus dem Südtiroler Weinort Tramin auf. Der Ausweis mit der Dokumentennummer 100.940 und dem Stempel des Roten Kreuzes wurde im Juni 1950 vom Delegierten des Internationalen Roten Kreuzes in der Hafenstadt Genua ausgefertigt und unterschrieben. Was die Sache brisant macht: Bei Ricardo Klement handelt es sich um Adolf Eichmann, den Organisator der Shoah - des Völkermords an den Juden. Eichmann hatte sich für seine Flucht nach Übersee 1950 Südtiroler Papiere und eines Rotkreuzausweises bedient. Der Fund löste einen weltweiten Sturm der Empörung und der Verwunderung aus. Im …


Feminist, Linguistic, And Rhetorical Perspectives On Language Reform, William Dorner Jan 2010

Feminist, Linguistic, And Rhetorical Perspectives On Language Reform, William Dorner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As people become aware that society treats women unfairly, they also perceive related shortcomings in the way that Modern English references women. For example, many have objected to the so-called generic he, the third-person masculine pronoun employed to refer to a person of unknown gender, and provided several alternatives, few of which have been widely adopted. Nonetheless, change is evident in the case of they becoming an increasingly common solution to refer to a person of unidentified gender. The intentional reform of the Modern English language, both in the past and present, has been a result of people's reactions to …


A Floating World: Stories, Karen Best Jan 2010

A Floating World: Stories, Karen Best

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A Floating World is a collection of short stories inspired by fairy tales. Often set in worlds where the mundane and the fantastic come together, these stories explore moments of strangeness that slip beyond the bounds of realist fiction. Fantastical events intrude into mundane reality as characters attempt to reconcile the known with the unknowable.
