Reflecting On Heather Mcghee’S The Sum Of Us Through A South African Lens, Marthinus Van Loggerenberg

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

A South African native living in the USA explores and examines the essence of The Sum of Us by contemplating three post-Apartheid realizations in context of structural racism in the US: the illusion of being “born free”, the value of the philosophy of Ubuntu (“I am because we are”), and the role of respect in addressing racism. Ideas around shared narratives, reconciliation, mutual understanding, human value and freedom as something to be strived for, are denoted in relation to dismantling systemic racism for the sake of future generations in the US.

It’S Time To Dismantle The Zero-Sum Systems In Business Schools, Courtney Masterson

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

Inspired by Heather McGhee’s The Sum of Us, this essay calls attention to how business school administrators and faculty have perpetuated social and economic inequality by embracing zero-sum narratives inside and outside the classroom. Looking ahead, ideas for change are also proposed.

What Us?, Amanda Parris

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

McGhee (2021) concludes the introduction to The Sum of Us by declaring that she is “fundamentally a hopeful person, because [she knows] that decisions made the world as it is and that better decisions can change it” (p. xxiii). In this brief response I want to take on two problematic aspects of McGhee’s declaration, her hope and her voluntarism. I use an Afropessimistic lens so that we might, as Frank B. Wilderson III (2020) urges, make some of McGhee’s book “more dangerous to the U.S. and the world” (p. 250).

Drug Policy And Our Self-Inflicted Harm, Deborah Ahrens

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

The failure of American politics to appropriately address the harms of substance use and substance use disorders reflects “a bitter cost of the white majority’s willingness to accept the suffering of others" (McGhee p. 47) and the ways in which that willingness also harms white people is an additional cost we bear.

The Stumped Of Us: Why Teach Rhetoric In The Face Of Racism?, Jonathan Hunt

Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship

Heather McGhee’s book presents a deeply ambivalent portrait of Rhetoric as a field of study. Her own optimistic faith in research, evidence, and truth-telling is countered by endless examples of the failure of rational, ethical persuasion in the face of racism and greed. This ambivalence raises existential questions for rhetorical curricula in higher education.

Culture/Capital A Speculative Consideration Of James Joyce's Ulysses, Audrey Del Grosso

West Chester University Master’s Theses

This thesis explores how a speculative consideration of James Joyce’s novel Ulysses that combines postcolonial and Marxist and theoretical perspectives can challenge traditional critical approaches that are dogmatically one-sided. Three episodes of the work are analyzed to demonstrate the relationship between culture and economics, which aligns with the above-mentioned theoretical approaches.

The selected episodes -- “Telemachus” (episode 1), “Nestor” (episode 2), and “Scylla and Charybdis” (episode 9) -- focus on Stephen Dedalus and provide the opportunity to consider the manifestation of colonialism and imperialism in his various relationships.

Adopting a speculative approach anchored in the Hegelian-influenced philosophy of Gillian Rose, …

The Remote Nature Of International Trade Transactions, Tahirih V. Lee

Scholarly Publications

During the spring of 2020 through the spring of 2021 of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the courses at the Florida State University College of Law were moved to Zoom in order to be taught remotely. This transition was painful and inadequate for many of the traditional-style law school courses. However, FSU's International Trade Transactions course, which has operated around a digitized transactional world for twenty years, smoothly transitioned to remote learning. As the teacher of this course, I would like to explore what students learn in that transactional world, and also how that learning helps the students after law …

An Exploration Of Secular And Christian Political Thought, Elizabeth Bradley

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Through the evaluation and comparison of Machiavellian, Nietzschean, and Christian political thought, this thesis argues that Christian thinkers effectively meet the challenges posed to them by Modern philosophers. Modern philosophers reject the teaching that ethical principles have a transcendent origin in God and instead believe that morality is merely a matter of human convention. Christian philosophy was once dominant in influencing political thought. Modern thinkers such as Machiavelli and Nietzsche wrote with the express purpose of challenging and replacing Christian thought. The Christian political tradition promotes more noble qualities in leaders than the modern philosophies which proposed to challenge it. …

Elvis Lives, Gary Duehr

Inscape

DUBUQUE, Iowa — The Casino Elvises set to kick off the parade at noon were pushed to the rear because a late-summer thunderstorm in Chicago had stranded the Australian team. In the 87-degree heat of the SuperSavers parking lot, the spangled floats hauled by tractors made way for the Marching Nine-Foot Elvises on stilts. Next up were the Novelty Elvises, including one posed squatting (apparently in flagrante) on a rolling toilet, convulsing intermittently as if in cardiac arrest; another led a tiger cub who dived through flaming hoops, a nod to Graceland’s Jungle Room; and an erstwhile husband-and- wife team …

Colonialism And Indigenous Peoples Of Taiwan, Sabrina Wong

BYU Asian Studies Student Journal

Taiwan can be found about 100 miles off the southeastern coast of China in the Pacific Ocean. It consists of a main island and many smaller surrounding islands. Before the arrival of the Dutch, the only inhabitants of the island were the Taiwanese indigenous peoples, also known as the Formosan people, Austronesian Taiwanese people, or Gaoshan people, who had been there for thousands of years. For consistency, throughout this paper, I will refer to them as Taiwanese indigenous peoples. The Taiwanese indigenous peoples are made up of different tribes, traditionally with over 26, 16 of which are recognized today by …
