Tipping Toward A New Academic Consciousness, Letizia Guglielmo, Esther Skelley Jordan Jan 2022

Tipping Toward A New Academic Consciousness, Letizia Guglielmo, Esther Skelley Jordan

Journal of Feminist Scholarship

The COVID-19 pandemic and racial reckoning of 2020-2021 have led many faculty in higher education to see the profession and their place in it in a new light (Walton, 2022). While people are broadly engaged in a large-scale cultural re-evaluation of work, labor conditions, and equity, this awakening has posed an existential threat to many academics’ senses of identity, purpose, and community. Through autoethnographic narratives, the authors make meaning of this tipping point through the feminist intersections of space, power, and consciousness. The authors explore coaching and mutual mentoring as strategies for creating and holding space for disrupting these norms …

Fugitive Knowledge And Body Autonomy In The Folklore And Literature Of Zora Neale Hurston And Gloria Naylor, Renée M. Vincent Jan 2022

Fugitive Knowledge And Body Autonomy In The Folklore And Literature Of Zora Neale Hurston And Gloria Naylor, Renée M. Vincent

Journal of Feminist Scholarship

Amidst battles for Covid-19 vaccine mandates and accessibility, media coverage of judicial proceedings stemming from state-sanctioned racialized violence, and the exacerbation of gendered workplace/space inequality via a new virtual reality, the year 2021 marks yet another conflict over the legality of abortion in the United States, with conservative Supreme Court justices aiming to walk back the legalization of a woman’s constitutional right to terminate pregnancy as per Roe v. Wade. Through an exploration of the historical record in conjunction with Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God and Gloria Naylor’s Mama Day, signifiers of what Marilyn Motz calls “fugitive …

“Subverting” The Neoclassic Constraints: The Presence Of Magic In Early Commedia Dell’Arte, Yangzhou Bian Jan 2022

“Subverting” The Neoclassic Constraints: The Presence Of Magic In Early Commedia Dell’Arte, Yangzhou Bian

Theatre Student Scholarship

The project is an initiating discussion about the dramatic function and social-ideological implication of magic and magical elements in the surviving corpus of the Italian improvisational theater commedia dell’arte scenarios from the early seventeenth century. The essay begins with a cursory exploration of the position of commedia dell'arte amongst other notable theatrical forms blossoming across the European continent in the late renaissance. The study then focuses on eight plays selected from the 1611 Scala Collection to further examine the use of magic by commedia performers, followed by individual analysis of plot construct and dramaturgical theories. Finally, observations and connections made …


Mei Lan-Fang: The Masculinist Idealization Of Femininity, Yangzhou Bian Jan 2022

Mei Lan-Fang: The Masculinist Idealization Of Femininity, Yangzhou Bian

Theatre Student Scholarship

Mei Lan-fang was the most well-known Beijing Opera practitioner specializing in the impersonation of historical and mythological female characters. His captivating performance style is known as “The School of Mei”. It balances the external stage presence and internal precision and attends to the minutiae. His performances were drawn predominantly from the classic repertoire, and they have won him the position that “no other Chinese actor attained and retained” (Scott ii). Despite the general perception of Mei’s contribution to the emancipation of women through his work and his self-assertion of sympathy towards their suffering, the underlying motivation may not be as …


Fancy Should Go Forth: Conversations Between Subject And World In "Mont Blanc" And Beachy Head, Liam Waterman Jan 2022

Fancy Should Go Forth: Conversations Between Subject And World In "Mont Blanc" And Beachy Head, Liam Waterman

2022 Undergraduate Awards

In both contemporary Ecocriticism and Romantic studies, the position of the human subject in relation to their world, and to the historical context of that world, has remained a contentious issue. Regarding Percy Shelley’s poem Mont Blanc, Frances Ferguson states that “critics seemed to have agreed on one thing… that it is a poem about the relationship between the human mind and the external world. After that, the debates begin” (172). These debates likely arise from the actual absence within the poem of any certain or unified way of thinking about the relationship between the human subject and the …


Moral Performativity In Eighteenth-Century Abolitionism And Black Lives Matter, Emma Stredder Jan 2022

Moral Performativity In Eighteenth-Century Abolitionism And Black Lives Matter, Emma Stredder

2022 Undergraduate Awards

The shallow phenomenon of moral performativity is consistently prevalent from the abolitionist movement of the eighteenth-century, to the Black Lives Matter movement of the twenty-firstcentury. Olaudah Equiano’s extraordinary abolitionist text, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, investigates and utilizes this phenomenon as he offers readers across centuries the opportunity to recognize the tenacious inequality which Black people face, as well as the paradoxical value that moral performativity provides. Through a close reading of Equiano’s religious argument, as well as his sentimental family scene, it may be recognized how egoism has the potential to unite with sentimentalism, and …


Default (Dis)Trust And The Medical Profession, Nathalie C. Diberardino Jan 2022

Default (Dis)Trust And The Medical Profession, Nathalie C. Diberardino

2022 Undergraduate Awards

Trust is typically taken to be an essential constituent to the patient/physician relationship. One way that trust can manifest in the context of medical care is in a default attitude; that is, the initial stance of trusting one takes upon entering any given interaction with a medical professional. In this paper, I identify the current default attitude of (dis)trust that certain marginalized groups are justified in taking towards the medical profession, and I explain why this default is not ideal. I then argue for my account of the ideal default attitude of trust, which I call medial trust. …

Unraveling The Beginning Phase And Final Phase In The Emergence Of The French Alliance, Marvin L. Simner Jan 2022

Unraveling The Beginning Phase And Final Phase In The Emergence Of The French Alliance, Marvin L. Simner

History Publications

It is widely acknowledged that the military alliance between the United States and France, established in 1778, was largely responsible not only for a number of American victories over the British, but also for the end of the Revolutionary War. While much has been written about this topic as well as the events that occurred between 1777 and 1778 which led to the alliance, far less is known about the factors that took place in 1775/1776 that contributed to the initial need for the alliance as well as the factors that surrounded the culmination, signing, and the final acceptance of …

Disease, Extinction, And Emergences In T.C. Boyle’S Friend Of Earth And Margaret Atwood’S Oryx And Crake, Caroline Schaumann, Heather I. Sullivan Jan 2022

Disease, Extinction, And Emergences In T.C. Boyle’S Friend Of Earth And Margaret Atwood’S Oryx And Crake, Caroline Schaumann, Heather I. Sullivan

Modern Languages and Literatures Faculty Research

In this essay, we address Boyle’s A Friend of the Earth (2000) and Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (2003) as climate fiction that plays out equally devastating yet realistic futuristic scenarios. In creative thought experiments, science fiction helps us to recognize humans as a collective force, a force that conquers, shapes, destroys, and rebuilds the planet in pre- and post-apocalyptic bouts not unlike the pre- and post-pandemic times we are now experiencing. Our focus on these two science fiction novels is on the intersectionality of emergent environments, extinctions, and diseases within the framework of climate change.


Goethes Pflanzen Und Das ,,Dunkle Griin", Heather I. Sullivan Jan 2022

Goethes Pflanzen Und Das ,,Dunkle Griin", Heather I. Sullivan

Modern Languages and Literatures Faculty Research

Abstract: In Goethe's works, plants abound; as such, they offer many insights for this critical plant studies project on plants and humans in the early Anthropocene. From Werther and die Novelle to Hermann und Dorothea, Faust and his scientific writings, we find three categories of plant depictions: first as embodiments of green vitality that elicit emotional responses; second, as humanly-shaped cultivations or horticultural realms; and third, we find inklings of the promise of actual vegetal agency establishing the very world in which we human beings and all other animals live. In Goethe's wide-ranging botanical ideas, the modern collision between …

The Acoustics Of Civil Resistance: Summoning The Spirit Of The Law With A Smartphone, Sharon Sliwinski Jan 2022

The Acoustics Of Civil Resistance: Summoning The Spirit Of The Law With A Smartphone, Sharon Sliwinski

Data and Test Instruments

Inspired by Diamond Reynolds’s radical gesture to open a live broadcast in the moments after Philando Castile was shot by police in 2016, this paper explores the ways smartphones have become a critical tool of civil resistance. The paper situates this tool in a historical context, tracking the role of visual testimony in the long struggle for Black liberation, drawing special attention to the acoustic dimension and posing questions about how attending to the sonic environment modifies our understanding of bearing witness as embodied practice and our understanding of civil resistance.


The Right To Reproduce, Carolyn Mcleod Jan 2022

The Right To Reproduce, Carolyn Mcleod

Philosophy Publications

The reproductive rights of women have been a central topic in feminist bioethics. The focus has been predominantly on the right not to reproduce, and so not to be subject to pronatalist social forces that make motherhood compulsory for women. That is the case despite many women and other members of marginalized groups experiencing anti-natalism, or in other words, social pressure to avoid biological reproduction. For these groups, the right to reproduce is as important, if not more important, than the right not to reproduce. This chapter concentrates on the right to reproduce and considers what form it should take …

Feed The Little Children Evaluative Research Report: Somebody Cares, Anne Poelina, Vennessa Poelina, Ian Perdrisat, Sandra Wooltorton, John Guenther

Nulungu Reports

The purpose of the report is to investigate the social, cultural and health impacts on Broome children and families who are supported through Feed the Little Children Inc. (FTLC) bi-weekly food relief program, and to try to determine what the optimum level of support should be. Researchers have taken an Indigenist research approach, which means that Aboriginal ways, values and goals support research implementation. The research framework focused on the lived experience of the FTLC users and data was collected via conversations with FTLC users’ aunties, grandparents, and long-term Broome residents. The report concludes that Broome children would benefit from …
