Places Of Worship: Leadership Influence On Threat Vulnerability, Joel Bigley

Journal of Applied Christian Leadership

Vulnerability to risk of loss is present in any place where people assemble. the perspective of leadership on existing threats and their response to emerging vulnerabilities directly relates to the probability of exploitation. this article discusses a method that leaders can use to minimize vulnerabilities in their places of worship. Vulnerability governance can reduce risk loss through the use of measurable controls. a predictive posture, through the use of environmental scanning and a mitigation method, helps leaders understand emerging and residual risks in places of worship.

When Servant Leaders Appear Laissez-Faire: The Effect Of Social Identity Prototypes On Christian Leaders, Jeff Singfiel

Journal of Applied Christian Leadership

Servant leadership is the most recognizable approach to leadership in Christian organizations. Understanding that their organization endorses servant leadership, or believing Christian leaders should be servants, Some Christian leaders choose to believe that they lead in this tradition, regardless of the perspective of their followers. These Christian leaders may earnestly believe themselves to be servant leaders but appear laissez-faire to their followers. In this study, the author reviews servant and laissez-faire leadership theories. He then proposes that social identity theory explains how leaders can be hijacked by social identity, which unconsciously influences them to self-identify as servants without manifesting the …

The Legend Of The Miskito Indians: A Literary Translation Project, Alyssa Friesen

SWOSU Journal of Undergraduate Research

This project began in the spring of 2014 for the class of Intermediate Spanish Composition and Grammar. In class the object was to read this particular legend, but I decided to take that a step further and do a translation of it in order for me to better understand it. This is a literary translation, which is the most difficult type of translation which is why I used certain theories of translation to help get an accurate translation for the textbook Introduction to Spanish Translation by Jack Child. By applying these methods of translation, I was able to get an …

Eroticism Or Neo-Platonism?: The Case In The Sonnet “Detente Sombra De Mi Bien Esquivo,” By Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz, Juan Manuel Ramirez Velazquez

SWOSU Journal of Undergraduate Research

This essay is an in depth analysis of the poem “Detente sombra de mi bien esquivo “, by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the most important poet of the Spanish American Baroque period. This sonnet has been traditionally interpreted as a love poem, more specifically from the Neo Platonic traditions of the European Renaissance. Some scholars have also proposed an analysis of the poem based on the mysticism. In my analysis, I propose a new interpretation based on the eroticism tradition and style. This tradition can also be found in the poetry written in Spain by other authors that …

My Story, Our Story, God’S Story: Storytelling As A Means Of Faith Formation And Community-Building In College Students, Jenny Call

Faculty and Staff Papers, Articles, etc.

Many colleges are reporting increased mental health concerns among students as well as issues of increased polarity and racial tension on their campuses. I believe these problems point to a spiritual disconnection as higher education aims have shifted in such a way that the spiritual needs of students have been neglected.

In this thesis, I propose an intervention that nurtures a student’s individual spiritual growth while developing leadership capacity for college student leaders in religious and spiritual life. This story circle model incorporates storytelling, active listening, and individual and group reflection as spiritual practices that promote faith and identity formation. …

Creating Space: Building Digital Games, Wendi Sierra

English Faculty/Staff Publications

Studies of games, rhetoric, and pedagogy are increasingly common in our field, and indeed seem to grow each year. Nonetheless, composing and designing digital games, either as a mode of scholarship or as a classroom assignment, has not seen an equal groundswell. This selection first provides a brief overview of the existing scholarship in gaming and pedagogy, much of which currently focuses either on games as texts to analyze or as pedagogical models. While these approaches are certainly valuable, I advocate for an increased focus on game design and creation as valuable act of composition. Such a focus engages students …
