Cynthia Lucy Stephens, The Borges Enigma: Mirrors, Doubles, And Intimate Puzzles, David Laraway
Cynthia Lucy Stephens, The Borges Enigma: Mirrors, Doubles, And Intimate Puzzles, David Laraway
Faculty Publications
In one of his most celebrated texts, ‘Borges y yo’, Borges describes wandering the streets of Buenos Aires, pausing to take in an unanticipated architectural detail or anything else that happens to catch his attention. That spirit of flâneurie captures something of the experience of reading Cynthia Lucy Stephens’ The Borges Enigma. It is the work of a devoted reader of Borges who accompanies us on a tour of Borges’ texts, pointing out an abundance of unexpected details even as her path seems to be marked less by any strict agenda than by the simple pleasures of exploration. Whether it …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
วิทยานิพนธ์นี้มีวัตถุประสงค์ในการศึกษามโนทัศน์ประชาธิปไตยของฌอง-ลุค นองซีซึ่งถูกปรับแปลงใหม่ผ่านมโนทัศน์ทางภววิทยาของนองซีและการตีความเหตุการณ์พฤษภาคม 1968 ในฝรั่งเศส นองซีนิยามประชาธิปไตยว่าหมายถึงคอมมิวนิสซึมอันเป็นมโนทัศน์ที่ถูกปรับแปลงเช่นกันและให้ความสำคัญกับการเป็นอยู่-ร่วม-กันอย่างเป็นเอกพหุสภาวะของประชาชนทั่วไปโดยปราศจากฐานรากและการกำหนดล่วงหน้าใด ๆ ทว่าธำรงไว้ซึ่งความแตกต่างหลากหลายผ่านการสร้างและแบ่งปัน “โลก” ร่วมกัน เพื่อให้อำนาจอธิปไตยเป็นของประชาชนอย่างแท้จริงอีกครั้ง โดยที่กระบวนการทั้งหมดนี้เป็นการขั้วตรงข้ามของความคิดทางปรัชญาระหว่างการสร้างตำนานและการตกลงสู่สุญนิยม

ทฤษฎีความเชื่อใจที่ไม่ใช่แบบรู้คิดกับการกระทำร่วมระหว่างคนแปลกหน้า, กานต์ วศินสมบัติ
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
วิทยานิพนธ์ฉบับนี้ศึกษาคำอธิบายเรื่องความเชื่อใจจากทฤษฎีแบบรู้คิดและทฤษฎีที่ไม่ใช่แบบรู้คิด เพื่อตอบคำถามว่าความเชื่อใจในความหมายใดที่สามารถนำไปสู่ปฏิสัมพันธ์แบบการกระทำร่วมระหว่างคนแปลกหน้าได้ กรณีปฏิสัมพันธ์ระหว่างคนแปลกหน้าที่วิทยานิพนธ์นี้สนใจคือเมื่อฝ่ายหนึ่งเป็นผู้มาเยือนในถิ่นฐานใหม่ ฝ่ายที่มาใหม่จำเป็นจะต้องได้รับความร่วมมือจากคนท้องถิ่น แต่คนท้องถิ่นไม่มีความจำเป็นต้องร่วมมือด้วยกับผู้ที่มาใหม่นั้น คำอธิบายแบบทฤษฎีเกมกล่าวว่าพวกเขาสามารถที่จะร่วมมือกันได้บนฐานที่พบว่าความร่วมมือนั้นจะนำไปสู่ผลประโยชน์สูงสุดแก่แต่ละฝ่ายโดยต่างตอบแทนซึ่งกันและกัน แต่คนแปลกหน้าในกรณีที่ศึกษานี้ ต่างฝ่ายต่างย่อมมิอาจรู้ได้ว่าการร่วมมือกับอีกฝ่ายหนึ่งนั้นจะตอบสนองต่อผลประโยชน์ที่พึงปรารถนาเมื่อมีการปฏิสัมพันธ์เกิดขึ้นระหว่างกันได้หรือไม่ คำอธิบายของทฤษฎีแบบรู้คิดของรัสเซลล์ ฮาร์ดินกล่าวว่าการเชื่อใจเกิดขึ้นได้เมื่อบุคคลหนึ่งมีคุณสมบัติไว้ใจได้ที่เกิดจากการถูกกำกับโดยเงื่อนไขทางสถาบันเช่น กฎหมาย และเงื่อนไขทางสังคมที่มีอยู่ในสังคมที่จูงใจอยู่ แต่คนแปลกหน้าในกรณีที่ศึกษานี้ ฝ่ายหนึ่งถูกกำกับโดยเงื่อนไขทางกฎหมายและสังคม ขณะที่อีกฝ่ายหนึ่งจะเข้ามาสู่การกำกับโดยเงื่อนไขนี้ได้จำเป็นต้องได้รับความเชื่อใจก่อน การกำกับดังกล่าวจึงไม่อาจใช้เป็นพื้นฐานให้สำหรับความเชื่อใจ คำอธิบายของมารูซิคกล่าวว่าการเชื่อใจเกิดขึ้นได้โดยการเห็นคนที่ถูกเชื่อใจในฐานะที่เขาเป็นผู้กระทำผู้ที่ตั้งมั่นที่จะทำบางสิ่งให้สำเร็จ แต่สำหรับมารูซิคคนที่จะถูกมองเห็นเช่นนี้ได้ต้องเป็นผู้ที่อยู่ในความสัมพันธ์กับผู้ที่เชื่อใจตนอยู่แล้ว คำอธิบายแบบทฤษฎีที่ไม่ใช่แบบรู้คิดของแบร์อ้างจากความเปราะบางซึ่งจะทำให้การมอบความเชื่อใจให้เป็นการสูญเสียการควบคุมซึ่งคนมีเหตุมีผลอาจจะต้องการหลีกเลี่ยง ส่วนคำอธิบายของโจนส์กล่าวว่าการเชื่อใจคือการมีจุดยืนในทางบวกต่อเจตนาดีและความสามารถของผู้อื่นที่ก่อตัวได้เองจากพื้นฐานที่ไม่ใช่หลักฐานตามปรกติ ทำให้สามารถตอบสนองเงื่อนไขเรื่องความมีเหตุมีผลเชิงความเชื่อและความมีเหตุมีผลเชิงปฏิบัติสำหรับทั้งฝ่ายผู้มาเยือนและคนท้องถิ่นได้

"Let’S See If We Can Go A Whole Day On The Road Eating Free Food": Encountering The Divine With Claire Dwyer In The Private Spaces Of Richmond’S Highway To Heaven, Justin K. H. Tse
"Let’S See If We Can Go A Whole Day On The Road Eating Free Food": Encountering The Divine With Claire Dwyer In The Private Spaces Of Richmond’S Highway To Heaven, Justin K. H. Tse
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
This article recounts the development of the author’s positionality in studying religion in a Canadian suburb through a collaborative project with the late feminist geographer of religion Claire Dwyer. The field site was No. 5 Road, the “Highway to Heaven” in Richmond, British Columbia with over 20 religious institutions on a three kilometre stretch of road. Building from Dwyer’s writing on “encountering the divine” through field work from 2010 to 2012, the author offers an account of a personal shift from evangelical religious exclusivism to an understanding of the plurality of interreligious experience. Using a reflexive writing style, the article …
Russian Logics And The Culture Of Impossible: Part Ii: Reinterpreting Algorithmic Rationality, Ksenia Tatarchenko, Anya Yermakova, Liesbeth De Mol
Russian Logics And The Culture Of Impossible: Part Ii: Reinterpreting Algorithmic Rationality, Ksenia Tatarchenko, Anya Yermakova, Liesbeth De Mol
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
This article reinterprets algorithmic rationality by looking at the interaction between mathematical logic, mechanized reasoning, and, later, computing in the Russian Imperial and Soviet contexts to offer a history of the algorithm as a mathematical object bridging the inner and outer worlds, a humanistic vision that we, following logician Vladimir Uspensky, call the “culture of the impossible.” We unfold the deep roots of this vision as embodied in scientific intelligentsia. In Part I, we examine continuities between the turn-of-the-twentieth-century discussions of poznaniye—an epistemic orientation towards the process of knowledge acquisition—and the postwar rise of the Soviet school of mathematical logic. …
Stories Of Teaching On A Conceal And Carry Stage: A Dramaturgical Narrative Inquiry, Christopher J. Miller
Stories Of Teaching On A Conceal And Carry Stage: A Dramaturgical Narrative Inquiry, Christopher J. Miller
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
The story of a mass shooting occurring on the place of school seems to be a common one in contemporary American cultural narrative. One of the more controversial solutions offered within this narrative is allowing citizens to protect themselves through the practice of conceal and carry. The practice of legally allowing individuals to conceal and carry a firearm while at the place of school and in the place of class is at the cornerstone of this research inquiry.
This qualitative research study employs a dramaturgical narrative approach to explore the daily lives of full-time community college faculty members. In figuratively …
The Relationship Between Kindergarten To Grade 8 Principals’ Epistemological Beliefs And School Success, Leland Stuart Sanford
The Relationship Between Kindergarten To Grade 8 Principals’ Epistemological Beliefs And School Success, Leland Stuart Sanford
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Although current research links teacher effectiveness and student success to epistemological beliefs, little is known about how those beliefs influence principal leadership and school success. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which epistemological beliefs of K-8 principals predict school success in a large U.S. metropolitan area (LMA). The theoretical framework was Perry’s theory of epistemological development and Schommer-Aikin’s theory of personal epistemology. In this quantitative correlational study, epistemological beliefs of K-8 principals were measured with the Schommer-Aikins Epistemological Belief Inventory and school success with School Quality Rating Policy (SQRP). Data were collected through a convenient …
Procurement Fraud Prevention Strategies In Ghanaian Gold Mining Companies, Alfred Ekow Taylor
Procurement Fraud Prevention Strategies In Ghanaian Gold Mining Companies, Alfred Ekow Taylor
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Procurement fraud occurs at various stages of the procurement lifecycle and can be very costly to organizations. Business managers are concerned with the enormous impact of procurement fraud on business revenue. Grounded in Cressey’s fraud triangle theory, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore strategies business managers use to detect, control, and prevent procurement fraud successfully. The participants were six procurement managers in Ghanaian gold mining companies who successfully detected, controlled, and prevented procurement fraud. Data were collected using semistructured interviews and a review of company documents. Through thematic analysis, three themes emerged: (a) internal control …
Phenomenological Exploration Of Followers’ Lived Experiences And Their Perception Of Ethical Leadership, Saad R. Maklad
Phenomenological Exploration Of Followers’ Lived Experiences And Their Perception Of Ethical Leadership, Saad R. Maklad
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to explore the lived experiences of followers under unethical leadership in private and public organizations in the United States. Data collection involved interviewing 20 participants from private or public U.S. organizations with open-ended interview question. Participant selection was limited to followers and frontline employees who directly contact stakeholders. Utilitarianism, Adams’s equity theory, social learning theory, stakeholder theory, and Eudaimonia were the conceptual frameworks used to guide this study. The data analysis process in this phenomenological study consisted of using the two-cycle analysis and the modified Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method. The findings demonstrated eight overarching …
A Phenomenological Exploration Of Young Adults Who Self-Identify With Primary Complex Motor Stereotypies, Vanja Maria Popovic
A Phenomenological Exploration Of Young Adults Who Self-Identify With Primary Complex Motor Stereotypies, Vanja Maria Popovic
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Primary complex motor stereotypies (p-CMS) are repetitive, rhythmic, and predictable involuntary movements which occur in typically developing individuals. To date, research has focused on observational data involving parents, leaving a lack of first-hand information about the effect of p-CMS on experiencers’ quality of life and wellbeing in adulthood. This phenomenological study, grounded in Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory, explored lived experiences of six young adults, ages 21 to 29 years, who self-identified with p-CMS, through in-depth telephone and Zoom interviews. I aimed to answer how p-CMS affected participants in academic, work, and social settings, what meaning participants assigned to their p-CMS, and …
A Qualitative Analysis Of Lived Experiences Of Community Garden Participants In Local Food Deserts, Abigail Gwendolyn Brock
A Qualitative Analysis Of Lived Experiences Of Community Garden Participants In Local Food Deserts, Abigail Gwendolyn Brock
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Community gardens were designed to bring communities together while providing an area of comfort and solace, social interactions, and a physical place for those living in apartments or areas in which they are not able to garden. Often, community gardens are started by nonprofit organizations looking to solve problems that plague urban areas. An abundance of literature described and analyzed the role of community gardens in addressing food insecurities, but little has been done in understanding the experiences of participants in the garden. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to gather and identify the perceptions and thoughts of community …

Casting And Splinting Options For Pseudo-Jones Avulsion Fractures: An Evidence-To-Practice Review, Amber M. Kingsley, Aysha B. Reyes, Zachary K. Winkelmann
Casting And Splinting Options For Pseudo-Jones Avulsion Fractures: An Evidence-To-Practice Review, Amber M. Kingsley, Aysha B. Reyes, Zachary K. Winkelmann
Clinical Practice in Athletic Training
Avulsion fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone occur when a portion of the bone is broken or pulled off the rest of the bone. These fractures are often seen in athletes, especially those of a young age. Avulsion fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone are commonly treated non-surgically with immobilization of the foot. There are several different options for immobilization of the foot with no clear result as to which immobilization method is the most effective. The purpose of this evidence-to-practice review was to summarize a systematic review on comparative outcomes of immobilization interventions on avulsion fractures of the fifth …
Who Gets To Know? Combating Colonial Epistemic Oppression, Timothy J. Cotter
Who Gets To Know? Combating Colonial Epistemic Oppression, Timothy J. Cotter
Senior Independent Study Theses
This Independent Study thesis is divided into five chapters. In the introduction, I explain the focus of the paper. In the second chapter, “Landscapes of Epistemic Injustice,” I clarify the concept of epistemic injustice by breaking it down into hermeneutical injustice and testimonial injustice. I argue that we have obligations to each other as knowers and producers of knowledge, and the content of these obligations within a given situation depends upon the social position of both the speaker and the audience or audiences. In the third chapter, “Epistemic Oppression and Colonialism,” I contend that Western colonial projects frequently enact third-order …
Black Skin, White Masks And The Paradoxical Politics Of Black Historiography, Tacuma Peters
Black Skin, White Masks And The Paradoxical Politics Of Black Historiography, Tacuma Peters
Publications and Research
Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks has the paradoxical status of being a text that rejects historiography and History as a primary means of facilitating radical political transformation while also being a key point of departure for histories concerning modern colonial and decolonial thought. This reflection is an examination of the tensions in Black Skin, White Masks as a political work and as an intervention into philosophical, psychoanalytic, literary, and existential debates. Prompted by the 70th anniversary of the publication of Black Skin, White Masks, I examine the richness of the past two decades of historiographical scholarship on slavery, …

A Journey To Finding Space In The Tension: Experience Of Instructors' Relationship With Religion And Spirituality In Doctoral Psychology Programs, Samantha Mcgee
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
Religion and spirituality, when viewed through a holistic lens, can reflect important aspects of a person’s identity. It can be a source of well-being and also struggle. The fields of religion, spirituality and psychology have had a history of being polarized, with some efforts to integrate the two fields. Tensions exist at multiple ecological levels around the topic of religion and spirituality, which can make it easier to avoid discussing it in classrooms and therapy rooms. It is important to address and create room for discussion of experiences around religion and spirituality in classrooms that are training psychologists so they …
Locating Uncertainty In Hospital Leader Sensemaking And Sensegiving Of Organizational Change: A Single Case Study, Sara E. Barry
Locating Uncertainty In Hospital Leader Sensemaking And Sensegiving Of Organizational Change: A Single Case Study, Sara E. Barry
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
Leaders planning strategic change face significant ambiguity and uncertainty due to the complex, fast-paced, and volatile nature of organizational life. What one leader sees as an opportunity, another may view as a threat depending on their past experiences, their existing mental models, and their perceptions of uncertainty. Sensemaking and sensegiving theories provide a framework for how leaders retrospectively make sense of new and disorienting information through recursive cycles of interpretation, action, and learning, and seek to influence the meaning-making of others towards a shared vision of the strategic change. Despite decades of research using these theories, studies have yet to …
Toward Socially Equitable Conditions: Change In Complex Regulatory Systems, Katherine A. Hoffman
Toward Socially Equitable Conditions: Change In Complex Regulatory Systems, Katherine A. Hoffman
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
The purpose of this qualitative participatory action research was to explore how complexity is engaged and experienced in complex regulatory systems, and to understand how cannabis might be regulated in ways that lead to socially equitable conditions. This was accomplished by studying the lived experiences of governmental leaders charged with the responsibility of establishing regulatory frameworks for legalized cannabis where none previously existed. Using the learning history methodology, the study deeply explores the ways that complex systems coexist by capturing the lived experiences of research participants and enhance theoretical understanding of complex regulatory systems. Data collection occurred through reflective interviews, …
Of Course Crustaceans Are Sentient: But There's More To The Story, Arthur S. Reber, Frantisek Baluska, William B. Miller Jr.
Of Course Crustaceans Are Sentient: But There's More To The Story, Arthur S. Reber, Frantisek Baluska, William B. Miller Jr.
Animal Sentience
We are in basic agreement with Crump et al. that animal welfare, particularly with regard to the experience of pain, is a topic of importance. However, we come to the issue from a different perspective, one in which all species are sentient and can feel pain. The implications of this theory are discussed.
All Living Organisms Are Sentient, Arthur S. Reber, Frantisek Baluska, William B. Miller Jr.
All Living Organisms Are Sentient, Arthur S. Reber, Frantisek Baluska, William B. Miller Jr.
Animal Sentience
We argue that all living organisms, from the simplest unicellular prokaryotes to Homo sapiens, have valenced experiences—feelings as states of preference—and are capable of cognitive representations. Bacteria can learn, form stable memories, and communicate, hence solve problems. Rowan et al.'s statement that "Subjective feelings are just that — subjective — and are available only to the animal (or human) experiencing them" is true but irrelevant. When we see a fish flopping about in the bottom of a boat we immediately recognize suffering without having a glimpse of the nature of piscine distress. Some controlled anthropomorphism can go a …
Literary Fiction And Sympathy: How Reading Makes You A Better Person, Emma Rose Wick
Literary Fiction And Sympathy: How Reading Makes You A Better Person, Emma Rose Wick
Honors Theses and Capstones
I argue in this thesis that literary fiction enhances our ability to sympathize with others as a result of observing—and thereby coming to feel for—the perspectives of the characters by engaging in mental perspective-taking. As a result, we become able to sympathize with an array of individuals whose experiences are unlike our own, and which we may never understand otherwise. I argue that the ability to sympathize with others is valuable for the sake of being a morally good person, and for having an overall good character. This has value in and of itself, particularly from an Aristotelian perspective. I …
Developing A Contemplative Classroom. Are There Other Approaches That Usefully Extend Angelo Caranfa?, Rosemary Laoulach
Developing A Contemplative Classroom. Are There Other Approaches That Usefully Extend Angelo Caranfa?, Rosemary Laoulach
Theses
This study will explore the literature on silence and contemplation in order to develop an approach for a contemplative classroom. It will examine Angelo Caranfa’s ideas on silence in education and a contemplative curriculum. The research will highlight some of the influences on his work, critiquing them and pointing out what can be further developed by outlining what a contemplative classroom might look like.
Contemplative practices will be defined broadly as silence, attentiveness, reflection, humility, attentive listening, and mindfulness. I will provide a theoretical and practical account of these to inform educators towards a holistic approach to teaching and learning …
An Exegetical Analysis Of The Johannine Jesus’S Son-Father Relationship In The Fourth Gospel With The Theological Significance And Implications In Contemporary Context, Jing Yih Hsieh
Theses
This exegetical study focuses on the distinctive characteristics of the Johannine Jesus’s unique cognitive perception, his claims of equality with God in the language of oneness in the Son-Father relationship in the Fourth Gospel, and with theological significance and implications in contemporary context.
Authenticity, Individuality, And Morality: An Existentialist Investigation Into The Possibility Of A Meaningful Existence, Ella Boyd
Scripps Senior Theses
This paper addresses the tension between individuality and morality with the goal of maximizing meaning in one’s own life. Drawing from Nietzschean ideas of authenticity and flourishing as they relate to the individual, the Categorical Imperative is then introduced as a way to ensure one’s own moral goodness within society. After accepting Sartre’s theory of existentialism, and, with it, the idea that existence precedes essence, one can begin an investigation into this creation of meaning in their own life. First drawing from Either/Or, Kierkegaard’s three life models are presented and, ultimately, dismissed in favor of Nietzsche’s idea that the key …
