Dalgish Studies, Teaches The Complexities Of Languages., Aldemaro Romero Jr.

Publications and Research

“I tell my students that if they want to see the world, they might consider studying linguistics, because that is how I got my start,” says Dr. Gerard Dalgish, a professor of English at Baruch College. “I went to many different countries, and if you have that sort of background, you can live for a while working part-time or something like that if you like the particular place you’re visiting.”

These compelling words come from someone who has specialized in teaching English as a second language or ESL, as it is also known.

Between Rock And Breeze, Lena Schmid

Theses and Dissertations

My thesis project consists of a series of works on paper and songs about the collusion of the body and nature. I use a lens that both distorts and makes clearer the ineffable ways our bodies shake their boundaries, moving without us and within us.

Welcome To My Dream – Quasi Queer Fiction, Christian A. Rogers

Theses and Dissertations

Ahna Serendren’s MFA thesis draws upon the Buddhist principles of anatta (no-self), anicca (impermanence), and nibbana (liberation), using them as a framework through which to explore her own artwork and the work of other historical and contemporary artists.

Light And Space, Lindsay M. Burke

Theses and Dissertations

I make visceral images that are simultaneously elusive and confrontational. They are in dialogue with the historical tradition of figurative painting and drawing, but also aim to subvert those conventions. I want to catch and retain, as long as possible, the attention of my viewer by creating a familiar space that is slowly undermined. In my works the human body is dispersed in space; plants and tree parts are stand-ins for human desires, and gender is assigned to fragments of the body and to objects, then withdrawn.

It Tastes Like The East...: The Problem Of Taste In The Gdr, Alice A. Weinreb

History: Faculty Publications and Other Works

This essay uses the topic of taste, specifically taste for food, as a way of unpacking the history of the GDR and East-West relations during the late Cold War. It explores the question of East German tastes from two angles: West German fantasies about the inadequacies of the GDR’s food system, and East German nutritionists’ unsuccessful struggles to regulate popular tastes. In particular, it focuses on the moment when popular taste was seen as a serious problem by the GDR state—during the rise of the obesity epidemic in the 1970s and 1980s.

Marian Studies

The present issue of Marian Studies marks a turning point. Fr. Thomas A. Thompson, SM, has been the editor of Marian Studies from Volume 41 in 1990 through Volume 67 in 2016. He will remain as the editor emeritus as a tribute to his many years of selfless service as both the editor of Marian Studies and the secretary of the Mariological Society of America. Words cannot express the gratitude all of us in the MSA have towards Fr. Thompson. We know that God will reward him with graces beyond what we can offer.

Our Lady Of The Blessed Sacrament: Theological Foundations And Historical Development, Richard May

In particular, the contributions of St. Peter Julian Eymard (1811–1868) are highlighted along with those of Pope St. John Paul II. The article not only examines …

Mary And The Nuptial Dimension Of The Constitution Of The Church In The Eucharistic Sacrifice According To Hans Urs Von Balthasar, Chao Nguyen O.P.

Marian Studies

Throughout the centuries, Christianity has reflected deeply on the Paschal dimension of the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian life. However, little has been said of its nuptial character. This essay examines Hans Urs von Balthasar’s theological insights on the Eucharist in both its sacrificial and nuptial dimensions in relationship to the Blessed Virgin Mary. For Balthasar, these dual aspects converge and are exemplified in Our Lady whose fiat at the Annunciation comes to a climax at the Crucifixion. There, she is mystically and nuptially united to the Son who gives himself away eucharistically, and she thus …

Peter Julian Eymard, Saint Of The Eucharist And Our Lady Of The Most Blessed Sacrament, Dwight P. Campbell

Marian Studies

St. Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868) founded the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in 1856 and is known as the “Saint of the Eucharist” (a title confirmed by Pope St. John XXIII in his canonization homily, Dec. 9, 1962). He explored many aspects of the great mystery of the Holy Eucharist in the conferences he delivered to his fellow religious over the years. These conferences have been published in nine separate volumes under different titles. One of the volumes—entitled “Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament: Readings for the Month of May”— consists of thirty-one conferences, one for each day of …

Confirmation In The Spirit By Conformation To Mary: The Gifts Of The Spirit In Mariological Perspective, Jacob Phillips

Marian Studies

This article investigates a Mariological interpretation of the sacrament of confirmation, exploring the figure of Mary as a model recipient of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, with broader implications for understanding the interrelation of nature and grace. It draws upon a strand of patristic Mariology that relates Christian initiation to conformation with Mary. Such passages are found in Origen, Gregory of Nazianzus and Gregory of Nyssa, who all speak of the souls of the faithful being conformed to Mary. As Mary received the Word of God in her womb, so Christ is formed more deeply in the soul of …

Women’S Empowerment: Supporting Women’S Empowerment In Sukhbaatar, Mongolia: A Qualitative And Quantitative Study Of Women In Sukhbaatar Province, Mongolia To Understand The Need For And Opportunities For Women’S Empowerment, Tunga Hellstrom

Capstone Collection

Kofi Annan, 7th Secretary General of the United Nations has said, “There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women.” There is growing research focused on women’s empowerment in the world representing many different cultures, but that literature does not include Mongolia or much of East Asia. Furthermore, there are many successful women’s empowerment centers around the world, but few collections of those centers’ best practices. This research hopes to change that.

This is the first women’s empowerment research focused on Mongolia using both qualitative and quantitative methods, combined with best practices from women’s empowerment centers …

Mestiza, Métis, American: How Intermixture On United States Borders Shaped Local, Regional, And National Identities, Carla L. Mendiola

History Theses and Dissertations

This project compares mestizaje in Mexican American communities of the Texas-Mexico border and métissage in Franco American communities of the Maine-Canada border, from the pre-contact period to the 20th-century. Exploring the central themes of intermixing, borders, and identity, the paper shows the long-standing presence of mixed-ancestry groups in the U.S. and investigates how social and geopolitical borders have been used to racialize and exclude these groups from U.S. history, and, ultimately from acceptance as part of U.S. identity. The comparison of Texas’s Lower Rio Grande Valley and Maine’s St. John River Valley follows the development of these communities and recognizes …

Becoming Indian: The Origins Of Indigeneity Among Chicana/Os In Texas, Ruben A. Arellano

History Theses and Dissertations

This study explores the idea of Mexican-American indigenous identity, or indigeneity. I argue that modern Mexican-American indigeneity progressed from the Chicana/o movement’s notion of belonging as a primordial people of Aztlan to the full-fledged embrace of Native American identity. This idea of being indigenous is traced to the colonial writers and thinkers, criollo patriots, mestizo nationalists, and the indigenists intellectuals of twentieth-century Mexico. The evolution of ethnic Mexican indigeneity culminated with cultural extremists in the first half of the last century who assumed a neo-Aztec identity. They in turn gave way to the neo-Mexika identity that emerged in the second …
