No Last Words: Class, Cultural Production, And The Black Radical Tradition In The Pre-Classical Civil Rights Movement, 1909–1948, Anna Livia W. Y. B. Chen , '18

Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards

This paper argues that the strategic shape of the 1954–1965 classical civil rights movement was neither inevitable nor a simple progression of American values, but was the result of extensive ideological contestation during the pre-classical civil rights movement. Between the inflection points of 1929 and 1948, two ideologies, one rooted in Progressive Era racial stewardship and the other in the Black Radical Tradition, engaged in a Gramscian “war of position” for leadership of their coalition against white supremacy. An important tool in this Pre-Classical War of Position was cultural production.“

Regulating Paradise: Following The Changing Culture Of Smoking In Buenos Aires, 2003-2018, Naomi Caldwell , '19

Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards

This paper examines the rapid change in smoking culture in Buenos Aires, from celebrated to medicalized, following the ratification of the World Health Organization’s treaty for tobacco control in 2003. It attempts to use the cigarette to pen the narrative of how cultural habits, sociability, and expressions of national and individual identity are transformed and regulated by both global and local actors, to evaluate how the global tobacco agenda has been translated to the local realities of Buenos Aires.

Speaking Power: Analyzing The Expectations Of 20th-Century Black Womanhood Through Thomas Vs. Hill, Tiauna Lewis , '19

Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards

In this paper, I argue that Dr. Anita Hill was subjected to countless stereotypes of Black women during her 1991 testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Committee and a majority of the American public denied Hill her right to be her own witness and instead faced a panel of white men and millions of onlookers who were ignorant to the importance of looking at the case through an intersectional lens. While Judge Clarence Thomas called upon the trope of a wrongfully-accused Black man, Hill was made out to be akin to a white woman who accused an …

Dialogue With Religious Life In Asia, Lily Kong, Junxi Qian

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

Over the past decade or so, debates on the advent of a postsecular present have moved center-stage in social and cultural theory. These exchanges have made commendable achievements in analyzing the increasing relevance of religion to public politics and policies. Theorization of the postsecular makes for a hefty intellectual agenda, and a comprehensive review of this agenda is clearly beyond the scope of a single contribution, addressed, more appropriately, in a collective way by this Handbook. Nevertheless, we would like to contribute a few ideas to help delineate the broader permutations of the postsecular turn in social sciences, which serve …

Protest And Progress: Black Seventh-Day Adventist Leadership And The Push For Parity [Book Review] / Calvin Rock, Trevor O'Reggio

Faculty Publications

Rock has carefully crafted and persuasively argued a historically well-documented and powerful account of the struggles of African-Americans to achieve some level of equality and justice within the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Because of the paucity of this information within the larger Adventist historiography, his book is a much-needed work that fills a vacuum. It should be read by all Adventist leaders concerned about justice and equality within the organization.

Political Goals: Soccer As A Language Of Politics In Kenya, Dan Siegelman , '19

Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards

Soccer is Kenya’s most popular sport, watched by almost every Kenyan. Soccer has a long history in Kenya, beginning with its introduction in the colonial period, when it was used by British colonists as a way to teach Kenyans European morals and values. In the postcolonial period, football was a similar political tool for Kenyan nationalist leaders, who built a sense of Kenyan identity on the back of the national team. But the Kenyan team has largely failed to produce results based on its level of support. Faced with political challenges like corruption and the persecution of dissidents, soccer has …

If We Must Die: Armed Self-Defense During The Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1967, Martin Palomo , '19

Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards

This paper looks over the Civil Rights Movement between 1954 and 1967 and analyzes the role that armed self-defense played during this period. By looking at the violence that erupted following the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court Case, it becomes evident that African Americans, both men and women, used arms to protect their communities while simultaneously challenging Jim Crow through nonviolent civil disobedience. By the mid-1960s, armed self-defense groups, which had typically been small and informal, began to evolve into more organized paramilitary groups that defended nonviolent protesters and openly challenged white violence.

Crossing The Century: Cross-Dressing In Turn-Of-The-Twentieth-Century San Francisco, Alexander Jin , '19

Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards

This paper explores cross-dressing in the San Francisco Bay Area at the turn-of-the- twentieth-century (c.1890-1910) and narrates the extraordinary lives of Edward James Livernash and Milton Matson, two individuals who were arrested on cross-dressing related charges in 1891 and 1895/1903 respectively. I attempt to show how the criminalization of cross-dressing was closely intertwined with the rise of modern sexuality, arguing that anti-cross-dressing laws operationalized the policing of bodies, the creation and maintenance of (fictionalized) fixed identities vis-à-vis binaries, and the reassertion of male power. I further argue that these shifts in how the state defined and regulated bodies demonstrates one …

The Women Of Father Knows Best, The Andy Griffith Show, And Julia, Elizabeth Curcio , '19

Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards

Father Know Best, The Andy Griffith Show, and Julia enforced traditional gender roles through their depiction of women as a mother, wife or an object to admire. Focusing on the themes of motherhood, women’s roles in society, women in the professional world and portrayal of race within the episodes, this paper discusses how the shows limited women’s roles on television to traditional gender norms of women as domestic beings.

Agent Provocateurs Invade The Cottages: An Examination Of Norms, Space And The Consequences Of Policing Practices In 20th Century London, Marit Vike , '19

Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards

This essay examines the relationship between the police, the public, and those who engaged in homosexual practices in the nineteenth century in London. By specifically looking at a case study of the agent provocateurs in London’s public urinals using newspapers, individual confessions, and public committee reports, this essay attempts to show how this space battle to regulate public space can be an example for how the broader regulation of sexual deviancy has been exercised. I contend that the fact that the compromising methods of agent provocateurs in the twentieth century provoked counter investigations and public backlash, demonstrates how increased efforts …
