Philanthropy And The New England Emigrant Aid Company, 1854–1900, Courtney Elizabeth Buchkoski

Department of History: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

This project examines the New England Emigrant Aid Company colonization of Kansas in 1854 as a solution to the growing debate over popular sovereignty and slave labor. It uses the Company as a lens to reinterpret the intellectual history of philanthropy, tracing its roots from Puritan ideas of charity to the capitalistic giving of the nineteenth century.

It argues that the Company’s vision was simultaneously capitalistic and moralistic, for it served both as an imposition of “proper” society upon the West and South, but also had the potential to benefit the donors financially and politically. Using a settler colonial framework, …

Business As Missions: Applying Business As Missions To The Hospitality Industry, Leah J. Reist

Senior Honors Theses

Business is a vehicle highly useful for achieving specific missions for the kingdom of God that could not otherwise be accomplished. A Business as Missions (BAM) organization is one structure of business that focuses intently on accomplishing the mission of reaching others for the kingdom of God. BAMs can be utilized in virtually any industry; however, the following thesis focuses on the unique opportunities that exist within the hospitality industry. These unique opportunities are present because of its relational components and consumer demands for community and social interaction. A hostel is one specific form of a hospitality company that has …

The Predestination Debate: A Harmony Of Corporate Election And Individual Election, Bradley Smith

Senior Honors Theses

The topic of predestination has been discussed throughout church history in the work of men like Augustine, Pelagius, Calvin, Arminius, and Barth. Corporate election seeks to reconcile some problematic areas of Calvinistic and Arminian theology by arguing that in the same way that God chose the nation of Israel through His election of Abraham, so He also chose the Church through His election of Jesus Christ. Despite this view’s seemingly convincing evidence, Scripture points far beyond its main tenets. God’s unconditional election of individuals ought to be foundational to the understanding of corporate election. This study will discuss and interact …

Two's Company But Three's A Crowd: A Study On The Crowd In The Book Of Acts, Dylan Eagle

Senior Honors Theses

The book of Acts is an entity of its own. While it is a part of the canonical Bible as one of the sixty-six books, it is unique in that it presents the continuation of God’s plan from Jesus Christ to the growth of the early Christian church. More than that, in the book of Acts God further develops his plan of restoration to include not only the Jews but also the Gentiles. With Acts being a unique work of literature, each component of the work uniquely moves the story along. One component is that of the crowd, specifically the …

Luther And The Jews: An Exposition Directed To Christians On Martin Luther's Anti-Semitism, Defense, And Legacy, Megan Wilson

Senior Honors Theses

This thesis is an analysis of the historical relations between reformer Martin Luther and the Jewish people. Its primary purpose is to defend Luther’s image as a prominent figure in Christian history while considering the possibility of his anti-Semitic views. This thesis focuses particularly on a number of Luther’s written works in order to achieve this goal, with a secondary concentration on historical and incidental defenses that can be used to exonerate him. This thesis also serves to inform contemporary Christians of the controversy surrounding these views and the result of his legacy in more recent centuries.

My Generation‘. Der Zusammenhang Zwischen Der Popmusik Und Den Linken Bewegungen Der 60er Und 70er Jahre, David Ross

Undergraduate German Research Conference

Die Popmusik hat wie andere Kunstformen und Musikrichtungen die Macht, sowohl persönliche Gefühle als auch soziale Änderung zu inspirieren, deren Wirkungen langfristige Folgen haben können. Man liegt aber in der aktuellen Musikforschung den meisten Fokus darauf, wie die neusten Produkte der heutigen Popmusiker aufhören Kunst zu sein und nur ein wirtschaftliches bzw. psychologisches Phänomen verbleiben. Weniger erforscht ist, dass die Wirkung der Popmusik auf die jetzige Gesellschaft ihre Vorgänger durch die Geschichte der Kunstform hin hat. Im Rahmen der deutschen Kulturgeschichte ist das nirgendwo deutlicher als bei der Wechselwirkung zwischen der Popmusik und den Studentenbewegungen der deutschen Nachkriegszeit. Obwohl diese …

Darlings In Love: A History Of Romance Between Women At Hollins In The Early 20th Century, Antonia Nagle

Hollins Student Conference (2012-2016)

This paper and accompanying sources hope to provide a detailed examination of the world of darlings at Hollins between the years 1900 and 1921, using primary sources gathered from The Spinster, the college’s yearbook. As a small, single-sex institution established in 1842, Hollins has a history of romantic relationships between students. Students who participated in these relationships between the years of 1900 and 1921 were called “darlings.” These same-sex relationships flourished at Hollins in the early 20th century and were a well-known and accepted part of life at Hollins. For this study, over a hundred primary sources were gathered …

The Old Testament 30 Years Later: Consistency And Change, Alice Laffey

HCAA Continuing Education Day

The answer depends on the question. The question depends on underlying assumptions. The first part of the “class” will describe the methods used to interpret the Old Testament in the early part of the Christian era, in response to the Enlightenment and, for Catholics, Vatican II and, more recently in the developed world, as a consequence of post-modern culture. This first part of the “class” will serve as an Introduction to the second part in which pre-modern, modern, and post-modern assumptions, methods and approaches will be applied to the book of Ruth. “Students” are encouraged to read the book of …

Der Fall Der Berliner Mauer Und Die Wiedervereinigung Eines Gebrochenes Lands, Hannah Kramer

Undergraduate German Research Conference

Vor fünfundzwanzig Jahren ist die Berliner Mauer gefallen und eine neue Epoche in Deutschland hat begonnen. Die Wiedervereinigung und das Zusammenführen der Volkswirtschaften haben die Ostdeutschen und Westdeutschen in verschiedenen Weisen beeinflusst. Meine Studie untersucht, wie sich die Ostdeutschen und die Westdeutschen persönlich zu dem neu vereinigten deutschen Staat angepasst haben (Jarausch 335). Die Ostdeutschen mussten sich sowohl auf eine neue politische und kulturelle Situation einstellen als auch sich an eine westdeutsche kapitalistische Gesellschaft anpassen. Die Ostdeutschen mussten auch mit dem Verlust ihrer ostdeutschen Identität konfrontieren und viele sind im vereinigten Deutschland arbeitslos geworden. Nach 40 Jahre Kommunismus war es …

Deutschland. Übersetzungen Aus Dem Arabischen Und Orientalismus, Rostom Mbarek

Undergraduate German Research Conference

Was ist eine gute Übersetzung aus dem Orientalischen? In dem 1978 erschienenen Werk Orientalismus hebt Said die politischen Auswirkungen eines eurozentrischen Bildes des Nahen Ostens hervor. Er konzentriert sich überwiegend auf die abwertenden literarischen Darstellungen des Ostens von europäischen Gelehrten in der Epoche nach der Aufklärung. Said beschäftigt sich dabei mit Michel Foucaults Begriff des Diskurses, um die systematische Disziplin zu analysieren, mit der die Europäer in dem achtzehnten und neunzehnten Jahrhundert den Orient politisch, soziologisch und ideologisch produziert haben. Der Begriff des Diskurses, der die Macht der Sprache in der Gesellschaft analysiert, ist untrennbar verbunden mit der Dynamik zwischen …

Strategische Spracherfahrung: Die Verbindung Zwischen Erfahrung Von Sprachlernenden Und Erfolgreichen Sprachlernstrategien, Hannes Zetzsche

Undergraduate German Research Conference

Diese Studie untersucht Sprachlernende und versucht zu beobachten, welche sprachlernenden Strategien sie benutzen. Die Studie untersucht insbesondere, ob es eine Verbindung gibt zwischen dem Lernstil von Sprachenlernenden und der Zeit, die die Sprachlernenden mit dem Sprachstudium verbracht haben. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, analysiert die Studie drei Personen, die Spanisch lernen. Alle drei haben unterschiedlich lange mit der Sprache verbracht und wurden entsprechend verschiedenen Sprachebenen ausgesetzt. Alle drei haben unterschiedliche Familienverbindungen zur Sprache: eine Person sprach eine Mischung von Spanisch und Englisch in ihrer Familie und studierte ein Semester in einem spanischsprechenden Land, eine andere Person sprach nie zuhause, verbrachte …

Jeder Mensch Ist Ein Sterbender Mensch. Der Tod Und Seine Offenbarung In Walter Benjamins ‚Erzähler, Emma Goehler

Undergraduate German Research Conference

In seinem Essay „Der Erzähler“ beschreibt Walter Benjamin eine Figur von der Gesellschaft, die jetzt verloren sei. Für Benjamin hat die Modernität und ihre Entwicklungen das Bedürfnis des Erzählers zerstört, und nur in gelegentlichen kreativen Ereignissen ist der Geist des Erzählers sichtbar. Was genau hat die Modernität gemacht, um den Erzähler zu töten? Welche Qualitäten sind durch den Verlauf der Zeit verschollen? Zu diesen Fragen hat Benjamin eine merkwürdige und provokative Antwort in seiner Beschreibung des Erzählers: „Der Tod ist die Sanktion von allem, was der Erzähler berichten kann. Vom Tod hat er seine Autorität geliehen.“ Das, was die Modernität …
