Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The leitmotif of Stuffmobile, a modern day Florida-based novella, is that of relational healing: a son with his father, ex-lovers with one another, and, even more challenging perhaps, a son making peace with his dead mother.

Kristi Schultz Broughton Liberal Arts Essay Contest

2012 Topic: Mediating the Disconnect: Liberal Arts as Inspiration for Activism

Yet many of us tend to feel disconnected from these challenges, watching them as if they were a show that we are free to observe or ignore or as a set of problems others are responsible for solving, preferably without our involvement.
