Wilderness, Kendra Smalley Oct 2018

Wilderness, Kendra Smalley

English Senior Capstone

Wilderness is composed of one nonfiction piece and a collection of poems that use images of the wild, such as forests and the wind, to explore the interactions between humanity and nature. Within the poems is a progression from attempt at mastery over the natural world to humility in response to the untamable to acceptance of the wild places in life, including within one’s own self. Inspired by experiences grounded in the Midwest, these works celebrate nature while also revealing the tension between its simultaneous beauty and danger.


Stories To The Remote Reader: Shaping Cultural Narratives In "Do Not Say We Have Nothing" And "Their Eyes Were Watching God", Hannah Perry Oct 2018

Stories To The Remote Reader: Shaping Cultural Narratives In "Do Not Say We Have Nothing" And "Their Eyes Were Watching God", Hannah Perry

English Senior Capstone

The events of Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien and Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston depict characters who, through subversive approaches to storytelling and meaning-making, refute the stereotypes attributed to them by oppressive sociopolitical systems.

English Senior Capstone

Avery, a socially anxious movie buff working on a theater cleanup crew, and Holden, a prep-school flunkout wandering the city of New York, are both emerging adults seeking a place to belong.

Reading Fantasy For A Better Understanding Of Spiritual Life In A Material World, Donald P. Gauger Jun 2018

Reading Fantasy For A Better Understanding Of Spiritual Life In A Material World, Donald P. Gauger

Papers Presented at Previous Colloquia

Can reading the fantasy works of certain authors help us better understand difficult spiritual concepts, gain insights bridging the gap between the physical and spiritual worlds, and help us live spiritually-fulfilled lives in a material world? In George MacDonald’s novel Phantasies: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women, Anodos experiences twenty-one years of life in fairyland in twenty-one days, gains spiritual insights from those adventures, and is thereafter a changed person.
