2013 Emw: Jews And Violence In The Early Modern Period, Emw 2013

Early Modern Workshop: Resources in Jewish History

The 2013 Early Modern Workshop on “Jews and Violence in the Early Modern Period” sought to contextualize the violence involving Jews in the early modern period in order to understand this crucial aspect of their experience. Participating scholars tried to complicate not only the over-simplified notion of Jews as solely victims of violence in the premodern period, but also examined complexities of the question of Jews as victims of violence.

Translations: Digital & Physical Interchanges, Kyle Miller, Clark Thenhaus

Learn X Design Conference Series

This paper presents experiments in digital design teaching methodologies at the collegiate level within architectural education. The experiments manifested themselves in the form of three design workshops for students from different levels within the undergraduate architecture degree program at the University of Kentucky. Collectively titled “Translations”, these workshops speculated on strategies for the integration of analogue drawing and making with digital translations within the architectural design process. The events were organized around the concept of employing multiple modes of making, a diverse set of design techniques, and mixed media. The theme of the workshops grew from the belief that multiplication …

A Multidisciplinary Approach To Design Education: Providing A Framework For Informed Designers Of The Future, Zaiba Mian

Learn X Design Conference Series

This paper recognizes the need to integrate design in all levels of education in order to foster creative skills that are applicable in most aspects of life. It highlights unique challenges associated with teaching design in the digital age and the need to encourage students to see in a critical and meaningful way. The methodology used in design education must build on existing virtual tools to promote a physical reconnection to one’s surroundings in order to promote an appreciation and understanding of place. This paper explores the notion that design does not occur in isolation and is part of a …

“Learning By Doing” Revisited: An Interactive Experience In Teaching Design Methods, Ozge Merzali Celikoglu, Sebnem Timur Ogut

Learn X Design Conference Series

This study represents an interactive experience towards conducting an undergraduate theory-based design course, ‘Design Theories and Methods’ in a product design department. These types of theoretical courses are usually conducted with a classical form of teaching where the lecturer is in a dominant position and bestows knowledge upon the learner (Wood and Rust, 2003). However, according to constructivist learning theory, knowledge cannot exist independently of the knower, but must be constructed through his own understanding of the situation (Hein, 1991). Therefore while a ‘revisit’ to Bauhaus education model is suggested, the main hypothesis is that “learning by doing” would provide …

Democratic Teaching In Byu’S American Heritage Course: Teaching Citizenship While Improving Learning, Olivia Dahl, Dr. J. Gary Daynes

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Democratic teaching is a topic that is popular among educators. What it essentially means is that students are given opportunities to choose how and possibly what they learn. A major concern in the social sciences is how well schools and universities are preparing students to become responsible and contributing citizens. Dr. J. Gary Daynes and his staff considered these two issues-democratic education and teaching citizenship-in designing the curriculum and teaching methods of an experimental section of American Heritage at BYU in the Winter Semester of 2000.

Life Histories In Kizimkazi Dimbani, Zabzibar, Stephen B. Backman, Dr. David P. Crandall, Gary Burgess

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Kizimkazi Dimbani is a village of just over 1500 people on the southern end of the island of Zanzibar, which is about 50 miles off of the coast of Tanzania. In the fall of 1998 I went to Zanzibar with a group of seven BYU students under the International Study Programs Office in the Kennedy Center. The group performed a variety of research projects including topics focusing on health, conservation biology, village economics, education, and anthropology. My project was based on a study of the relationship between the kinship and political systems of the village. Through our research we were …

“And Know The Place For The First Time” The 1851 Ecclesiastical Census Of England And Wales And Early Lds Branch, Evva Courtney Benson, Dr. Cynthia L. Doxey

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The year 1851 was a unique one in England. Not only was it the year of the decennial census, but it was the only time a national census on religion was taken. 1851 was also a year when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had many branches throughout England. The Church had been in England since 1837, but the large decline in membership due to emigration had not yet occurred.

Utah Quilts: Expressions Of Tradition And Innovation, Claire Dixon, Dr. Marian Wardle

Journal of Undergraduate Research

With this grant, I set out to design a quilt exhibition that would satisfy two distinct interpretations of quilts that have emerged in the last few decades. One camp, which Susan Bernick further separates into “art” quilt culture and “feminist” quilt culture, aims to elevate quilts from their folk art status because of their extraordinary design quality and because of their similarity to modern and post-modern art movements. The other camp—the less self-conscious one—consists of the average quilt makers who have at times been venerated and at times been ignored, but who have continued nonetheless in the tradition handed down …

The Organ Reform Movement—A Revitalization Of The 17th Century North German Organ, Benjamin J. Crandall, Dr. Douglas E. Bush

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries comprised the so-called “golden age” of the organ due to the remarkable instruments built then and because of the extraordinary repertoire which spawned from these organs. Reaching a pinnacle of tonal expertise and craftsmanship in the organs of Arp Schnitger (1648-1719) and his North German contemporaries, these organs inspired a 20th- century “organ reform movement” in which American organ builders began to construct organs modeled after the historic organs. This in turn has affected 20th-century compositional practice and has changed many views and concepts of performance.

The Huguenot Immigrants To The American Colonies: A Database Of French Protestant Records, Michael Call, Jacob Ekins, Byron Merrill

Journal of Undergraduate Research

French Protestants (also known as Huguenots) came under increasingly severe persecution by the monarchy during the last half of the seventeenth century, culminating in the revocation of all their religious rights in 1689. Condemned as heretics and traitors by the state and yet also forbidden by law to leave the country, the Huguenots fled by any method they could find to the neighboring Protestant countries of Germany, the Netherlands, and England. From there, many of them determined to leave Europe behind in an attempt to find a freer life in the New World.

An Annotated Edition Of The Journals Of Joseph W. Booth, Mormon Missionary To The Middle East (1889-1928), David Charles, Dr. James A. Toronto

Journal of Undergraduate Research

With the assistance of a 1999 ORCA scholarship, I was able to make significant progress in understanding LDS Church history in the Middle East during the period 1880-1950. My work was divided between four separate but related projects, each of which will receive brief mention here. The first of these projects are the journals of Joseph W. Booth, long-time missionary in the Middle East, which were the focus of my ORCA proposal. Since receiving the scholarship in January, I have continued proofreading the journal typescripts with my wife, the first step in preparing them for publication. I have also continued …

Mormons And Monuments In “The Green Mountain State”, Keith A. Erekson, Dr. Richard E. Bennett

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Joseph Smith was born December 23, 1805, at the Mack farm in Sharon, Vermont.1 Though his family moved when he was young, the influence of his Vermont heritage was important in the development of the young Prophet and subsequently on the restoration of the Gospel.2 After the exodus of the Saints to the west and their ensuing establishment in Utah, Elder Junius F. Wells returned to the east to seek out significant sites in the history of the Church. He lived at the Mack farm for years and conceived of the idea of erecting a monument.3 Work began on the …

Consumer Culture: An Installation, Alicia A. Delgado, Joseph Ostraff

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Food and eating carry many associations. For the video installation, I wanted to portray a culture partaking of another culture’s foods. I wanted the food of one=s culture to be symbolic of the literal consuming of it. I think it is interesting how often we say, “Oh, I love Mexican food.” But how in touch are you with the culture?

Crushed, Brett Bolander, Adrian Pulfer

Journal of Undergraduate Research

My first attempt at filmmaking turned out to be quite a positive experience. I was interested in the possibilities of crossing the disciplines of graphic design and film, and I am glad to find that they can mesh together quite well.

The Photosilkscreen Project: Finding Unity In Diversity, Namon D. Bills, Joe Ostraff

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The original stated purpose of this project was to produce a series of paintings using photosilkscreen processes to create working compositions by combining disparate concrete images and abstract markmaking in order to find harmony through diversity both in the combination of concrete images and in the way those images respond to abstract mark-making. I feel that this project was successful in its technical as well as aesthetic aspects.

“Highbrow” And “Lowbrow” Art And Its Effect On The Awareness Of Society, Katherine Campbell, Joseph Ostraff

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The purpose of the research was to determine whether or not the exposure of “highbrow” art placed in “lowbrow” venues would result in an increase of awareness to all exposed. The society was to be exposed to art in a reputable venue, a “highbrow” art gallery in Scottsdale AZ. The society then was to be exposed to the art in “lowbrow” venues in the form of kitsch, for example, the art was to be printed on t-shirts, magnets, and baby quilts, these were then to be distributed throughout the community. I had desired to know whether or not those who …

Catalog Of An Artist’S Work: A Compilation Of The Works Of Torlief S. Knaphus, Martha M. Beddoes, Dr. Martha Peacock

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Torlief S. Knaphus was born in Vats, Stavanger, Norway in 1882. Throughout his childhood and teenage years, Torlief showed artistic promise in his whittling and painting.

Perceptions Of Western Religious Music Among Non-Western Latter-Day Saints, Matthew Astle, Richard Long

Journal of Undergraduate Research

As the LDS Church continues to grow and expand in developing nations throughout the world, it is presented with the unique challenge of overcoming cultural differences to create a truly global brotherhood. One of the most culturally sensitive areas that the Church must deal with is that of music. The Church=s policy in the General Handbook of Instructions is that hymns “are the basic music for Latter-day Saint meetings and are standard for all congregational singing” (p. 289). This standard applies worldwide, from Kansas to Kenya to Cambodia. The hymns used by the LDS Church are based on the Western …

The Mismatch Negativity In The Categorization Of Speech Sounds, Emily Chapman, Dr. David Mcpherson

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Discussion of Results Our objective in this research was to study the categorization of speech sounds (phonemes) in normal subjects and subjects with disorders of auditory discrimination. The hypothesis we set forward was that there would be an evident difference in the MMN elicited from the normal subjects and the subjects with disorders in auditory discrimination.

Benjamin Britten’S War Requiem In Context Of The Historical Requiem Tradition, Bonnie Ashby, Dr. E. Harrison Powley

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The focus of this project has changed as I have researched and analyzed Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem, studied the history of the Requiem mass, and compared other major historical Requiems. Britten=s contribution to the Requiem tradition is unique in its contemporary sound and the insertion of Wilfred Owen’s poetry into the liturgical text. Yet, the War Requiem is strongly rooted in the historical tradition of Requiem settings. The first section of my paper describes that tradition: its origins in Gregorian chant, the ways it changed through the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras, and the major Requiem settings of each era. …
