  • Rhetorical Arrangement and the Digital Archive : Finding Women’s Voices in the Linus Pauling Papers

    Creator:
    Boardman, Colleen
    Abstract:
    The common imagining of archives characterizes these spaces as monolithic, hallowed sites of preserved truths, carefully catalogued and stored, static and frozen in history and waiting to be uncovered. My thesis works to dispel this myth and identify rhetorical elements of the archive’s structure in order to assess how the...

    Creator:
    Barbour, Nancy Staton
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the convergence of neoliberal rhetoric across popular media, academic, and institutional discourses, and draws connections between contemporary women's travel literature and common scripts in study abroad promotion.

    Creator:

    Barkley, Charles K.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines two cultural productions of the Harlem Renaissance: Aaron Douglas's mural series, Aspects of Negro Life, and Nella Larsen's novel Passing.

    Creator:
    Dietrich, Rhonda
    Abstract:
    A prevalent belief during the Victorian age was that the world was divided between inferior beings governed by passion and superior reasoning beings. On the political level, this idea separated inferior passion-driven natives from superior reasoning Europeans. This division contributed to the maintenance and expansion of imperialist rule in distant...
