The Years Of Embers In Mauritania: Ethnicity And Narratives, Hawa Saidou Barane Ba Jul 2024

The Years Of Embers In Mauritania: Ethnicity And Narratives, Hawa Saidou Barane Ba

Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations

The borders in Africa were drawn according to the interests of colonial powers and without consideration of the continent’s ethnic, cultural, and linguistic realities. Thus, roughly 80% of African countries borders were drawn without considering the crucial and pre-existing realities of pre-colonial African societies, splitting ethnically and culturally homogenous groups and grouping diverse others under the same political unit. (Beck, 1993; Lefebvre, 2011). Consequently, many African countries end up with an ethnically diverse population that faces the challenge of living harmoniously together in social cohesion, creating an environment prone to ethnic conflicts, political instabilities, and weak national identities. Mauritania, for …

Work-Life Balance Fantasy Logics Of Mothers Working In Community Colleges: A Glitch Methodology Using Intimate Inquiry And Aesthetic Mediation, Emily Hanson Moore

Educational Leadership & Workforce Development Theses & Dissertations

This post-qualitative study explores work-life balance as a sustaining fantasy produced by neoliberal, patriarchal, productivity-driven systems and how this fantasy manifests affectively for mothers who work in community colleges. The study began by contextualizing the work-life balance fantasy within higher education as a gendered workscape. Using intimate inquiry (Laura, 2013) and aesthetic meditation as the primary approaches, the researcher engaged in conversations with participants about their experiences mothering and working in community colleges. The primary data sources were these conversations, participant artifacts, researcher self-reflection and artifacts, and a range of contemporary cultural texts including podcasts, poetry, television, social media posts …


What's The Cost?: A Phenomenological Study Of Black Male Teachers' Persistence, Kendra Yvonne Hall Jul 2024

What's The Cost?: A Phenomenological Study Of Black Male Teachers' Persistence, Kendra Yvonne Hall

Educational Leadership & Workforce Development Theses & Dissertations

Black male teachers comprise 2% of the teacher population in the United States. In light of this disparity, there is a need to diversify the teacher workforce by recruiting and retaining Black male teachers. Black teachers are influential in students’ academic performance and personal growth. Without their presence, we are missing a key demographic and a key part of a student's educational experience. While Black male teachers’ experiences have been studied, we are less clear on the motivational processes behind their decision to teach. Therefore, this qualitative study takes a phenomenological approach to understand the lived experiences of Black male …

Examining The Physical Activity Experiences Of Blind And Visually Impaired Women, Lindsay E. Ball Jul 2024

Examining The Physical Activity Experiences Of Blind And Visually Impaired Women, Lindsay E. Ball

Human Movement Studies & Special Education Theses & Dissertations

Substantial research has indicated that blind and visually impaired adults often do not meet physical activity guidelines, and therefore, are not experiencing the numerous affordances of physical activity participation. However, those who report meeting physical activity guidelines express higher rates of health-related quality of life. Largely, the research examining the physical activity behaviors and perspectives of blind and visually impaired adults have been survey studies leaving a rich description of their physical activity experiences unexplored. The overall aim of this project was to engage with blind or visually impaired women to understand their experiences accessing and participating in physical activity, …

Through a reflective narrative of teaching Acting I to ELL students, the paper delves into the challenges and successes encountered in integrating acting, translanguaging, and devising into the curriculum. Emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between acting and language learning, the author discusses how expressive language development, vocabulary acquisition, and enhanced pronunciation skills were cultivated. Additionally, the paper considers the role of translanguaging in creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment, where students' linguistic diversity is celebrated …

Pagkakawalay Pampolitika At Kawalan Ng Kapangyarihan: Politika’T Pagkamamamayan Sa Pilipinas, Anthony Lawrence A. Borja Jun 2024

Pagkakawalay Pampolitika At Kawalan Ng Kapangyarihan: Politika’T Pagkamamamayan Sa Pilipinas, Anthony Lawrence A. Borja

Malay Journal

Ang demokratisasyon sa Pilipinas ay binabagabag ng mga aninong bumabalot sa mga mamamayan nito. Isa na dito ang kawalan ng kapangyarihang politikal na pawang nagbubukod at nagbubuklod sa mga ordinaryong mamamayan. Sila ay nawalay na sa politika, di lamang sa kanilang mga saloobin kundi pati na rin sa kanilang gawi. Mababa ang palagay nila sa kanilang pagiging mamamayan habang sa eleksiyon lamang sila malimit makilahok. Batay sa mga pangunahing obserbasyon na ito, aking ilalapat ang isang balangkas ng pagkakawalay pampolitika sa Pilipinas. Bilang gabay, susuriin ko ang mga katangian at dimensiyon ng pagkakawalay pampolitika’t kawalan ng kapangyarihan sa Pilipinas. Aking …

The Genealogy Of Turkish Transnational Movement In Indonesia, Dhita Ayomi Purwaningtyas, Yulia Rimapradesi, Achmad Reza Hutama Jun 2024

The Genealogy Of Turkish Transnational Movement In Indonesia, Dhita Ayomi Purwaningtyas, Yulia Rimapradesi, Achmad Reza Hutama

Journal Of Middle East and Islamic Studies

The majority of transnational Islamic groups in Indonesia come from the Middle East, which emphasizes various missions, such as purification and political ideology, and some others are Salafi-jihadist. Turkish transnational movement's mission mostly is religious da'wah through culture and education without spreading any political ideology, including the Nur Movement, the students of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. Amid suspicions about the increasingly widespread cases of extremism and radicalism in Indonesia by transnational groups that have brought the antithesis of Indonesian Islam, the Nur Movement has been able to enter and develop. This article analyzes the genealogy and distribution of the Nur Movement …


The Courts And Intercollegiate Athletics, Richard C. Crepeau Jun 2024

The Courts And Intercollegiate Athletics, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Over the past several weeks, the world of college sports has witnessed considerable turmoil and the prospect of major change. The future of the NCAA is in doubt, at least in its current form. The myth of the “student athlete” under the banner of amateurism is dead. The term should be laid to rest and never be seen in print again. It was a fabricated term created by former NCAA president, Walter Byers, designed to allow the NCAA to keep the money earned from intercollegiate athletics for itself, and out of the hands of the athletes.

Dr. Maggie Vinter: The Early Modern, Now

Discussions

Prior to that, she received her doctorate degree at Johns Hopkins University in 2013. In 2019, she published Last Acts: The Art of Dying on the Early Modern Stage (Fordham University Press), where she explored not only the theatricality and farcicality of death in the theater of the 15th and 16th centuries, but in the act of death as a whole. In particular, this research is based upon the existence of “death books,” which …


Black Nationalism And Black Power’S Influence On Karamu House, I'Maya Gibbs Jun 2024

Black Nationalism And Black Power’S Influence On Karamu House, I'Maya Gibbs

Discussions

This article will explore the impact of the Black Nationalist and Black Power Movement on Karamu House, the oldest Black theater in America. Karamu House, initially established as an integrated settlement house in 1915, later became an influential community theater in Cleveland, Ohio. By examining how an integrated theater shifted into prominently producing radical Black artistry, this article will uncover how Black Nationalism and Black Power changed the leadership, artistry, and goals of Karamu House. Furthermore, studying this shift highlights Black artists’ historical utilization of theater as a form of resistance against racial oppression and Karamu House’s participation in this …


Heaven's Cellphone Service, Adrienne J. Royo, Cheryl Foll Jun 2024

Heaven's Cellphone Service, Adrienne J. Royo, Cheryl Foll

Faculty Works

I our 21st C. world there are multiple cellphone companies and multiple plans to which one can subscribe, in order to facilitate communicate; however, God's communication plan is singular, always available, and unlimited. God is always ready to communicate with human beings; it is our responsibility to choose to access Heaven's cellphone service. God is open to any and all communication, but we must understand that He will not always answer our petitions, according to our desires; because He knows the end from the beginning. He answers our prayers with either yes, no, later, we must have faith that He …

The Closing Of The Rock 'N' Roll Camp For Girls In Portland, Sarah Dougher

University Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations

The 2023 closing of the Rock “n” Roll Camp for Girls (founded in Portland, Oregon in 2001) was due to many factors, some of which were present in its founding.
