"They said I would never amount to anything" : the life of a Kootenai woman

Creator:: Wheaton-Abraham, Jyl M.
Abstract:: There is a fundamental distortion in our understanding of Native people, especially Native women.

Virtual virtuosos : cyborgs and integrative ethics in the intimate machine

Creator:: Clemenhagen, Ronda L.
Abstract:: Standard accounts of women's relationship with technology stress women's need to overcome anxiety to achieve competence with computers. Recent studies provide evidence that this woman-anxiety-technology connection is an oversimplification of the relationship between women and computers. New literature also suggests that making computers more appealing will help girls overcome computational...

'That life of commonplace sacrifices' : representations of womanhood in Irish Catholic culture in James Joyce's Dubliners

Creator:: McGrory, Suzette L.
Abstract:: Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...

Feedback as Critical Care: An Antiracist, Feminist Praxis for Composition

Creator:: Rowland, Olivia A.
Abstract:: Feminist compositionists have long argued for addressing the feminization of composition, or its association with low value “women’s work,” by revaluing caring labor (Enos; Heinert and Phillips; Tuell). However, this argument assumes that writing teachers’ care work is beneficial for all students and teachers. Focusing on responding to student writing...

Confessing Ireland : the colonial politics of Irish Catholicism in James Joyce's A portrait of the artist as a young man

Creator:: Rathert, Gregory S.
Abstract:: Ireland's Catholic Church played an important role in the turn-of-the-century nationalism that shaped James Joyce's identity and writing; yet it also played an important part in preventing that nationalism from achieving its goals of autonomy and cultural independence.
