Chains, Rianna Van Stempvoort

English Student Projects

Struggling to attain perfection is to be enchained and imprisoned by your own mind. It is to look at a blank piece of paper and imagine all that you could do wrong, rather than all that you could do right. Perfection comes in the form of constant erasing, frustration, and questioning; however, it is by daring to push against these chains that you can find true freedom. And it is when you discover this freedom that your entire world will change and you will no longer be bound by chains.

The Provenance Of A Pali- And Thai-Language Manuscript At The Rollins College Library: A Buddhist Book Of Merit And Its Long Journey From Southeast Asia To America, Wenxian Zhang

Faculty Publications

Through researching the provenance of a Buddhist manuscript written in the Pali and Thai languages currently held at Rollins, this article seeks to answer the question of how a religious document created in Thailand ended up in a liberal arts college library in America. Regarded as an act of devotion by many Buddhist followers in Southeast Asia, the use of folding manuscripts (samut khoi) has been observed for centuries. The folding manuscripts served as handbooks and chanting manuals for Buddhist monks, who often recited in religious ceremonies while paying tributes to the deceased, with the hope of reincarnation in a …

Reading Feyerabend Between Philosophy Of Science, Hermeneutics – And God, Babette Babich

Articles and Chapters in Academic Book Collections

This essay seeks to make the case for reading hermeneutic philosophy of science with Feyerabend. In addition, there is the question of science, as Nietzsche raises this question along with Feyerabend’s programmatic recommendations for traditional philosophy of science. Including a discussion of method in history as in theology and philology, including Nietzsche’s hermeneutics, this essay reviews Feyerabend’s exchanges with Lakatos along with the resistance of mainstream philosophy of science to hermeneutics as such. A discussion of Feyerabend’s ‘gods’ engages what he invokes as ontological abundance as well as his criticism of the limitations of Popper’s critique of Parmenides requiring both …

Patterns Of Pride Lesson Plan, Elizabeth Thomas

P-12 Lesson Plans

In this art lesson for upper elementary students, we study the art of Jeffrey Gibson from the Zuckerman Museum of Art exhibition Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love, from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundations and analyze his contemporary post-modern artistic contributions alongside contemporary traditional Native American bead weaving and historical Native American bead weaving. We consider how to make visual patterns from aspects of our cultural identity and how how to make a bead weaving art project in the elementary art classroom. This lesson plan pairs Georgia Visual Art standards with third grade Social Studies standards.

Building Bridges: Fostering Team Leadership Between Elders And Pastors Of Ethiopian Evangelical Churches In North America, Abraham Abiyo Teanso

Doctor of Ministry

In Ethiopia, church leaders usually have full authority, while pastors have no power in decision-making. But in the USA, things are different. Here, pastors often have a lot of authority due to modern leadership styles. When older leaders from Ethiopia come to the USA, they want to stick to the traditional way of leading they were used to. They think pastors should only teach, not lead. However, younger generations and those who like modern leadership want pastors to stay in charge. This difference in opinion has caused problems among leaders in Ethiopian churches in North America. This can make people …

Sabbath Rest, Gregory Mcmullen

Doctor of Leadership

Limited time and finances have significantly contributed to the spiritual decay and practice of the Sabbath in Snohomish County. Through this study, I have identified that community members, immigrants, and refugees are impacted the most by working overtime or two jobs to provide a home for their families. Many immigrants not only have to work very hart but but most frequent food banks and seek assistance from the local church. Unfortunately, things are better as a high percentage of firstborn Slavic and Hispanics students drop out of school to work or take care of their younger siblings. Native Americans followed …

Ai Virtual Assistant For Student Disability Services: Implementing Rag-Enhanced Chatbots In Higher Education Support, Hannah Sussman, Jon Chun

IPHS 391: Interdisciplinary AI Frontiers

When students with disabilities enter the college arena they lose many of the resources that supported them throughout high school, and suddenly are responsible for advocating for their needs and rights themselves. For some, this is an easy transition, but for most the sudden shift in setting, expectations, and responsibilities leaves them unprepared to transition smoothly into college life. A chatbot with sufficient institutional data and information about disabilities and accommodations could help college students with disabilities by providing immediate and personalized guidance throughout their college experience. The proposed accessibility support system implements a hybrid architecture combining a Retrieval-Augmented Generation …

Fake Drake? Ai Music Generation Implicates Copyright And The Right Of Publicity, Hope Juzon

Washington Law Review

Artificial intelligence has contributed to music composition since the 1950s. Its contributions evolved from machines that produced simple melodies to programs that generate accurate vocal imitations of singers. Modern artificial intelligence relies on pre-existing—and often copyrighted—songs to create new music, the most common of which include vocal imitations of popular singers. Copyright law in the United States has yet to address how copyright holders’ rights are implicated when artificial intelligence programs are trained on protected works. As a result, these rights holders across disciplines and sectors have filed complaints alleging infringement of their works. While copyright holders await their fate, …
