  • Eaffective Ecopoetics as a Practice for Feeling a World in Crisis

    Creator:
    Platt, Benjamin D.
    Abstract:
    Discussions of ecopoetics often seek to investigate how poetics as a form can be rendered more ecological, often in contrast to nature poetry. These conversations tend to concentrate on this generic contrast and the formal qualities of an ecological poetics. Ecopoetics as a field emerged largely as a response to...

  • “I couldn’t bring myself to say it” : challenging heteronormativity in teacher education programs

    Creator:
    Ollivier, Amélie G.
    Abstract:
    School is a hostile environment for many LGBTQ youth. Teachers participate, consciously or unconsciously, in perpetuating oppressive heteronormative expectations in the classroom both through the overt and covert curriculum. Yet, pre-service teachers are under-trained about questions related to gender and sexuality during their teacher preparation. This qualitative study explores the...

The French Revolution inaugurated the concept of an Event, something that appears to come out of nowhere, and that not even the most well-informed...

  • Coolhunting : the commodification of creative expression and the alienation of youth

    Creator:

    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I argue that the cooptation and commodification of young peoples’ creative expressions of individuality through the practice of “coolhunting” causes alienation within said young people and is, therefore, unethical. I support this claim by using Marxist theory of the Frankfort Institute, viz., Max Horkheimer and Theodor W....

    Creator:
    Henschke, Stefan
    Abstract:
    In order to advocate for a nonviolent future, I argue throughout this thesis that we must redefine our sense of self within a social context.

    Mago, Bhisma
    Abstract:
    In this two-article thesis, I argue that an opposition to Eurocentrism may be articulated without ethnic or identarian determinisms but through a critical engagement with the categories of ethics and truth in a global frame. I build upon the work of Frantz Fanon and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak to accomplish a...
