Bridging The Cultural Gap, Trish Ramos

Journal of Multicultural Affairs

Multicultural education is about teaching people about each other without bias. Banks, C. (2016) states “Teachers need to understand their students’ community and home life (pg. 278).” As teachers it is our duty to ensure that every student that enters our classroom leaves with a sense of worth and knowing that each of them matter regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender or cultural.

Nostalgia's Complicated Role In Contemporary Pop Culture, Ethan Clawsie

Pop Culture Intersections

Over the past several decades, there has been a growing trend of nostalgia in popular culture, with the number of remakes, reboots, and revivals of classic films, television shows, and music at an all-time high. Dozens of old TV shows have also been rebooted in the past few years, old movies are being remade, much of the music that’s been released lately has been engineered to sound like it came from the past, and a subset of recent video games either build upon old games (like Pokémon GO), or are made to look and feel like old games (like Flappy …

The Plight Of Threatened Afghan And Iranian Scholars And Students, Mehrzad Boroujerdi

History and Political Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

In the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan religious ideas and laws seek to control all spheres of private and public life and state-sponsored restrictions hinder access to education and academic freedom for numerous citizens. The prevailing sedimented culture in both countries has resulted in the dismissal of many experienced scholarly personnel and an ensuing “brain drain.” This research project has cataloged some of the conditions that have impinge upon scholarly inquiry in Iran and Afghanistan and have led many scholars to leave their countries of birth. Based on an extensive literature review and personal interviews …

Barbie: For Better Or Worse, Renee Ho

Pop Culture Intersections

This article covers a history of Barbie, as well as an analysis of the live action Barbie movie. Barbie lovers and haters alike often debate whether the iconized doll is a feminist figure. Those who critique her argue that the messages she sends are superficial, or that Barbie perpetuates an unrealistic beauty standard and causes harm to the mental well being of her audience, especially because most of her target audience is made up of younger, impressionable girls. However, there is no doubt that Barbie can also be a role model for her audience. She was the first doll to …

Streetwalkers : Prostituées Et Philosophes, Sur Les Scènes Parisiennes De 1730 À 1830., Elodie Tantet

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

Dans une approche socio-historique, cette thèse observe un phénomène social en France qui remonte à l'époque de la Révolution, à savoir les *streetwalkers*, qu'il s'agisse des femmes dans la rue ou des hommes qui les observent et les représentent. Une citation de Peaky Blinders - "Everyone’s a whore […], we just sell different part of ourselves" (#1.3, 2013) - fournit le point de départ de notre enquête sur le rôle de la marche dans la rue dans la littérature de la fin du XVIIIe et du début du XIXe siècle. Notre étude révèle que non seulement les prostituées et les …

Jacobs, Jack, Sophia Maier Garcia

Bronx Jewish History Project

Jack Jacobs’ parents, both born and raised in Poland, moved to the Bronx after surviving WWII and spending time in a Displaced Persons camp in Germany. Jacobs was born in the 1950s in the Bronx, and grew up in the West Bronx, first on Creston Avenue near Burnside Avenue and then on Harrison Avenue near Tremont Avenue. He remembers living in the same building as other members of his extended family and the neighborhood being majority Jewish, particularly with many Holocaust survivors. This meant an intensely strong Jewish environment in terms of stores, education, and synagogues.

Following his mother’s socialist, …

Leyla Erbil’S A Strange Woman As The Undoing Of Shame And The Discovery Of Self, Gönül Kığılcım

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

Shame plays a major role in the formation of femininity, and as Ruth Leys argues, shame has surpassed guilt as the dominant emotional reference in the Western world. If shame is a lived social experience rather than an interior trait, how does this new understanding of shame influence our readings of literature, particularly that of women writers? Analyzing Leyla Erbil's recently translated novel, A Strange Woman (1971), and interacting with theories of emotion and affect theory, I explore whether viewing women's writing from this new perspective can offer new insight into literature by women and particularly the literature by women …

White Politics, Black Lives, & The Cost Of Being Green: Environmental Racism In Emelle, Alabama, Laura M. Wilson

Midwest Social Sciences Journal

In the 1970s, Emelle, Alabama welcomed the establishment of a new corporation and the promise of new economic opportunities. The small settlement, almost exclusively African-American (94%) and in poverty (67%) was selected by Waste Management, Inc., after lobbying by Governor George Wallace to create the largest hazardous waste landfill in the US. When a state policy change significantly increasing costs, production slowed, jobs dissipated (from 430 to 250), and destitution returned. At the same time, other problems began to the surface, including water contamination and increasing rates of childhood cancers, attributable to the toxic seepage. The dump still operates, but …
