Women In Agriculture: A Qualitative Study Examining How Women Have Sustained Their Leadership Roles In Agriculture In Australia, Amanda Elizabeth Dean
Women In Agriculture: A Qualitative Study Examining How Women Have Sustained Their Leadership Roles In Agriculture In Australia, Amanda Elizabeth Dean
EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
Women are the minority in production agriculture and their leadership roles in agricultural industries are rarely explored. Therefore, the leadership development of five prominent agriculture leaders in Australia was chosen to be explored for this study. Connections were drawn between each case study, emphasizing the central research question of “How have women in agriculture sustained their leadership role in a male-dominated field?” Impacting their styles of leadership within farming and other agribusiness trades were the shared themes of their childhood dynamics, their individual support systems, and their current home life. This study used a constructivist paradigm, as reflecting upon the …

The Woman Composer: Culture And Social Ideologies Behind Her Success In Music Composition, Julia K. Brummel
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Music is an art that has been enjoyed since almost the beginning of time. This art has carried many traditions and ideologies with it that are still prevalent today.

The lack of women composers throughout history is a subject that has interested many music historians. There are reasons behind this issue and many …

A Queer Poet In A Queer Time: John Milton And Homosexuality, Adam J. Wagner
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Scholar David Hawkes refers to John Milton as a “Hero of Our Time.” Milton’s written works, including his poetry and political treatises, contain cultural and theological insight applicable not only to his 17th Century English culture, but 21st Century American culture as well. As homosexuality continues to enter the public sphere in Western society, many scholars are uncovering past insights about how sexuality has evolved. Milton’s literary texts provide insight into his own sexual orientation and how people viewed human sexuality post-English Renaissance. Homosexuality is a broad topic, but Milton’s works give insight into three main areas—homosexual sex, sexual orientation, …
Postcolonial Disability In Mohesen Makhmalbaf’S Kandahar, Sukshma Vedere
Postcolonial Disability In Mohesen Makhmalbaf’S Kandahar, Sukshma Vedere
Ray Browne Conference on Cultural and Critical Studies
Kandahar (2001), an Iranian film directed by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, details the journey of the protagonist, Nafas, to Kandahar to save her sister from committing suicide on the day of the solar eclipse. The film has gained recent attention by disability studies scholars for the representation of disability in Afghanistan; scholars have discussed the significance of prosthetics and international aid for the disabled in post-war zones of the Third World, but little has been said about disability as a postcolonial embodiment. I argue that Kandahar represents the postcolonial state as a disabled space both literally and metaphorically. It projects the veil …
