Religious Educator: Perspectives on the Restored Gospel
Mormons in the Piazza: History of the Latter-day Saints in Italy is a tour de force and has immediately become a model for future histories written about Latter-day Saints living, working, serving, and struggling to find a place in nations outside the United States.
Misrepresenting The Shoah In American Film, Madeleine Erica Read
Misrepresenting The Shoah In American Film, Madeleine Erica Read
Theses and Dissertations
How should we, Americans, confront our complicity in reproducing the Shoah? For complicit we are, if consumerism is any metric: Steven Spielbergs 1993 film Schindlers List had grossed $321 million as of 2012; more than 40 million people have made the pilgrimage to the sacred US Holocaust Museum; at last count, The Diary of Anne Frank had sold 30 million copies. These numbers are stale staples in the debate over the ethics of Shoah representation, of course, but they bear out the skepticism of critics who have questioned American Holocaust consumer culture.

While the connection between these traditional materials and Tolkien is valid, it neglects a key feature of Tolkien's work and one of the author's desires, which was to fashion a sort of history that felt as real as any other old story.

A Portrait Of Stanley: Preserving History Through Art, Amy Clegg, Robert Barrett
A Portrait Of Stanley: Preserving History Through Art, Amy Clegg, Robert Barrett
Journal of Undergraduate Research
A Portrait of Stanley: Preserving History Through Art was an idea born by two of my greatest passions. My love for painting, and my love for the outdoors.
