Mean Girls: A Reflection Of Middle School Relational Aggression, Kerry Jean Markham

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

The seventh and eighth grades are a time of growth, mentally and physically. During this time students are trying to find their place in the middle school caste system.

"The Urban Praetor's Tribunal" In Spaces Of Justice In The Roman World, Eric Kondratieff Jan 2010

"The Urban Praetor's Tribunal" In Spaces Of Justice In The Roman World, Eric Kondratieff

History Faculty Publications

The present volume addresses this paradox by investigating the spatial settings of Roman judicial practices from a variety of perspectives. Scholars of law, topography, architecture, political history, and literature concur in putting Roman judicature back into its concrete physical context, exploring how the exercise of law interacted with the environment in which it took place, and how the spaces …
