A Historical Analysis Of The Causes Of The French And Indian War, Jake Althouse

Honors Program: Senior Projects (Public)

The current study attempted to answer the following research question: what were the causes of the French and Indian War between Great Britain and France in 1754? To do so, the current study researched secondary sources from a historical perspective, political theories regarding the causes of war, and primary sources from individuals involved in the build-up to conflict. Previous research by historians and political scientists have mainly attributed the causes of the French and Indian War to a security dilemma and the spiral theory of war. The current study does not support this assertion. Instead, the current study asserts that …

Deisis In The Paintings Of Christian Egypt A Depiction Of The Intercessory Supplication, Manal Abdelhamid

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

Deisis is one of the intercession themes that is widely illustrated in murals and icons of Christian Egypt. It is represented in different compositions, but mainly consists of three main figures: the Christ Pantocrator flanked by the two main intercessors, the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist. Many …

The Seven Spirits (Axw-Sfxw) In The Ancient Egyptian Religion, Radwan Abdel-Rady Sayed Ahmed

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

The Thorns Of Trauma: Torture, Aftermath, And Healing In Contemporary Fairy-Tale Literature, Jeana Jorgensen

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

While classical fairy tales do not portray much depth of suffering, many contemporary fairy-tale retellings explore trauma and its aftermath in great detail. This article analyzes depictions of trauma in fairy tales, utilizing as a primary case study the “Beauty and the Beast” retelling A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, arguing that this text provides a scientifically accurate representation of trauma and its aftermath, thereby articulating the real in fairy tales. Further, this article classifies that work as not simply a “dark” fairy tale (a contentious term that invites rethinking) but rather as fairy-tale torture porn, …

The Battle Of Olustee (Ocean Pond) Florida, George F. Baltzell

Florida Historical Quarterly

This account of the battle of Olustee has been prepared at the invitation of the Florida Historical Society from the reports contained in War of the Rebellion, Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. A careful study of this source leaves one unsatisfied where the aim has been to arrive at definite facts of such nature as would enable a fairly complete record to be offered. It is undoubtedly true that these official records must give more accurate and complete information than any others, since the reports were generally made within a few days after the events occurred and …
