Rape Culture Ruined My Favorite 80s Movie, Stephanie K. Adamczak

SURGE

I will admit that I wish my best friend was Duckie, I want to attend just one Saturday detention with Emilio Estevez, and I listen to an unhealthy amount of music from the Smiths and the Psychedelic Furs. Yes, I am a child of the nineties, but I spent many high school nights watching John Hughes films and attempting to dye my hair the perfect shade of Molly Ringwald red. [excerpt]

So What Do Design Students Really Think? Exploring Perceptions Of Learning Landscapes, Louise Barbour, Lindy Osborne, Glenda Caldwell

Learn X Design Conference Series

This paper investigates learning environments from the view of the key users - students. Recent literature on designing Learning Landscapes indicates a near absence of the student voice, assuming that the majority of students are either uninterested or unable to express what they want or need, in a learning environment. The focus of this research is to reveal Architecture and Fashion Design students’ perceptions of their learning environments. Furthermore, this study questions the appropriateness of usual design of learning spaces for Design students, or if the environment needs to be specifically catered for the learning of different disciplines of Design, …

Remember The Ladies: Individuality, Community, And Equality Of Early And Modern Women, Rebekka A. Strom

Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research

As scholars in the twenty-first century, we’ve defined the “modern” era, in part, in terms of the increasing value placed upon the individual. Yet, “modernity” also encompasses the growing tensions between the individual and his or her community. The contemporary paradox, therefore, is how social modernization shifts from a linear progression from a hierarchal communal identity, to a level playing field of vibrant individualism and equality. How do we fortify strong communities without establishing unequal hierarchies? How can we, in the technological age, advocate individual pursuits while reinforcing communal bonds? In addition to Abigail Adams, in her personal correspondence, historians …

Bonnie Scotland And La Belle France: Commonalites And Cultural Links., Moira Speirs Ms

Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research

The Auld Alliance between Scotland and France begun in 1295 with the treaty of Paris and continued until the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England in 1707. Successive French and Scottish monarchs kept the alliance in place with formal treaties and marriage alliances. These strong family connections among the ruling classes influenced all ranks in society. Scotland’s military support of France in wars between France and England resulted in many Scottish lords being granted lands and titles as a reward for their service to the French crown. The ties between the two countries developed as increasing numbers of followers …

Understanding The Civil War, Charles O. Boyd

Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research

This paper examines why the American Civil War took place and what the modern significance of the conflict is. The paper demonstrates that slavery was indeed the main cause of Southern secession and debunks, one by one, the arguments against that view. It also argues that modern day tributes to the Confederacy are offensive and that the Civil War should be understood as part of a long struggle in the United States for equal rights.

Why I Am Not A Materialist, John Cramer Dr.

Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research

Materialism is a world view that insists the world is nothing but matter. My purpose here is to show it is not a viable world view. Its monism creates severe difficulties for it, centered on the nature of the human mind and the truth of beliefs. Nor is it fit for human consumption because it denies human uniqueness and denigrates human needs.

Interpreting the Civil War: Connecting the Civil War to the American Public

Today is a special day, a momentous day. It's a day I've thought about for a long time. A day for beginnings and a day for looking back. So I'm looking back for today's blog, to one of my favorite posts. It's simple and meaningful to me. It's about a place that has changed my life so much. And today the ripples from that place are changing it again. And it's wonderful. [excerpt]

尼采早期著作中本原和共同體之思, Wing Sum Law

Lingnan Theses

本篇論文由朱利安．揚恩對於尼采的詮釋來展開討論，以重新思考尼采思想中本原與共同體的問題。

一般認為尼采哲學是一種反宗教思想，其更明確地宣稱自己為反基督。揚恩則提出尼采的思想是宗教的，此正與一般的理解背道而馳。揚恩理解宗教的其中一重要面向是共同體的建立，其對於共同體的概念有一預設，於統一意義下思考共同體。並論述此種共同體思考亦見於尼采的思想中，從而論證其是一宗教思想家。

本文主要規範於尼采的早期著作《悲劇的誕生》來進行論述，以考察揚恩的論述能否成立。揚恩理解共同體作為統一整體，統一的整體得以建立有賴於一個基礎，此基礎亦即本原之意。因而本文所針對的問題正是尼采所理解的本原。揚恩論述尼采酒神精神正是此種本原，此亦如同叔本華的原一之意，由此可見其仍於一種形而上學的結構下詮釋尼采，亦顯示出其並沒有對共同體的概念作出反思。筆者認為尼采的思想正有著超出形而上學的面向，酒神作為本原已是自身區分著的。而共同體亦非一整體，而是作為分延。此與揚恩的理解不同，由此得出其所斷定尼采是一宗教思想家是難以成立的。本文以本原和共同體的問題作為切入點，從而開展出一種對於尼采早期著作的重新思考。

Connecting For Impact: Multidisciplinary Approaches To Innovation In Small To Medium Sized Enterprises (Smes), Marc Bailey, Neil Smith, Mersha Aftab

Learn X Design Conference Series

This paper reveals the methodology developed and adopted by groups of Multidisciplinary Design Innovation Masters students whilst working on projects with regional Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SME’s). It exposes an eight-stage approach and shows how the creation of a ‘problem-space tapestry’ acts as a mediator between different disciplinary approaches. The authors used a combinationof observation, interview, post project-analysis and auto ethnographic reflection in order to uncover this process and to draw conclusions about the conditions that are necessary to support university based multidisciplinary design-led innovation projects of this type.

What The Unglamorous Side Of Study Abroad Taught Me, Kathryn E. Bucolo

SURGE

I’ve been gallivanting around this beautiful planet posing as a study abroad student taking classes and writing papers for the past academic year, one semester in England and one in Argentina (where I still am) and, just like all the brochures, promotions, and panels of study abroad survivors say, it has been absolutely chock-full of amazing experiences, people, places, foods—I think “transformative” is the proper term.

But transformative can mean many things. It doesn’t just mean that you “find yourself” or “change your life”—it means you see the less glamorous stuff about yourself, too. [excerpt]

Senior Class Speaker 95th Commencement Address, Amy Cheetham '13

Commencement Addresses

“Our most powerful tool is our liberal arts education,” said Cheetham, the daughter of 1974 and 1975 Connecticut College graduates Thomas and Joan Cheetham. “We’ve been taught to think critically about the very foundations of modern society: to question our actions and our ideas, and the thoughts and deeds of those who came before us. When we leave here today, our most immediate challenges may be renting that first apartment and getting that first job. But our biggest challenge is one we’ll face for the rest of our lives: to use our educations to chase our passions and cling to …

President Lee Higdon said the Class of 2013 has met the challenges he outlined for them when they arrived during a torrential downpour in the late summer of 2009.

"You have become leaders on this campus – relied upon by students, faculty and staff for your opinions, your expertise and your involvement,” he told the graduates.

President Higdon added that the Class of 2013 had the honor of attending Connecticut College during an important time in its history. The Class celebrated the College’s Centennial; witnessed the ribbon cuttings for the new fitness center and the new science center; was …

How they navigate through the world is what makes them compelling. How you navigate your way through the world is what will make your story compelling.”

The best way to do it, he told the Class of 2013, is to heed the sage words of advice printed on the poster in his office: “Work hard and be nice to people.”

He apologized for "what may sound like fortune-cookie philosophy," but said …

The Music Without Melody Of John Cage, The Literature Without Words Of James Joyce, The Art Without A Subject Of Joseph Beuys And The Architecture Without Construction Of Enric Miralles, Irma Arribas

Learn X Design Conference Series

The contradictory is an appearance. Investigating John Cage, James Joyce, Joseph Beuys and Enric Miralles we get to learn that game, constriction, contradiction and chance are homogeneous strategies in the processes based on an artistic evolutionary commitment, being this a key factor to assume established creative processes in a critical realism and a relational aesthetic. Taking reality as it is, not escaping from what the voices mean to be a block for the development and even be open to the dialogue, assume the complexity of the real thing, not shutting oneself up in the known, but being open to the …
