    Creator:
    Johnson, Colleen E.
    Abstract:
    Ever since Henry Jenkins’ groundbreaking _Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture_ (1992), fan studies has slowly worked its way further into mainstream academia. However, particular practices and cultures of femslash fandom, and the contribution of queer women to fandom archives and circulation have, in many ways, been neglected. In...

Through this framework of mētis, this thesis explores technologies as...

  • 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. Finding such narratives to be freighted with ethnocentric constructs and tacit endorsements of market-based globalization, I critique the mainstreaming of...

  • Piers Plowman, Healthcare Praxis, and the Corporal Mercies

    Creator:
    MacDougall, Eric W.
    Abstract:
    I argue that Matthew’s seven acts of corporal mercies provide a means of reading Piers Plowman within a framework familiar to medieval audiences, but also exposes the different models of health that are at work within the poem and the soteriological significance of these healths. In chapter one, I focus...
