  • Feminized in Form, Non-Linear in Practice: Diaspora in Asian American Poetics

    Creator:
    Norris, Precious
    Abstract:
    Asian American poetry is often considered a subcategory of poetry centered on the poets’ backgrounds. However, this project engages with the complexity of Asian American identity and experience as they trickle down from the poets, to their works, to interpretations of their art. Thus, I contend that these poets’ engagement...

  • Our “dead keep up the simple habits of the living”: Queer Digital Ephemerality in the Victorian Roman à Clef

    Creator:
    Snyder, Christin
    Abstract:
    Many queer scholars have made the turn away from orientations that treat Victorian queerness as either “lost” or “hidden.” Adding more complexity to literary theories which center practices of “revealing” queer artifacts, Sharon Marcus, for instance, argues queer encounters exist at the surfaces of Victorian literature. In addition, Anjali Arondekar’s...

  • “I Can’t Believe I’m Marching for Reality”: Examining the Rhetorical Role of Science in the “Post-Truth” Era

    Creator:
    Baker, Carlee A.
    Abstract:
    In the months preceding the 2016 presidential election and during the Trump presidency, rhetoric, composition, and communications scholars expressed an urgent concern about the threat that Trump and his political affiliates posed to the status of truth in political life (McComiskey; Rice; Harsin; Cloud).

  • 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...

  • A Decolonial Option for Literary Criticism

    Creator:
    Bhogra, Siddharth
    Abstract:
    The ongoing “method war” in literary criticism that has manifested as the impasse between Critique and Postcritique, which are identified respectively with paranoid and reparative modes of reading, raises existential questions about criticism in the face of its declining social value under neoliberalism. This thesis enters that impasse to suggest...

  • When Water Follows the Path of Resistance: Implementing a Queer and Trans Pedagogy of Care and Love in My Composition Classroom

    Creator:

    Abstract:
    This project blends personal narrative with scholarly work to recognize the interplay between these genre categorizations and to affirm the academic value of lived experience. Through this method, I play in the intersections of trans pedagogies, queer pedagogies, and pedagogies of love and care. By recounting how I blended these...

    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.

    Abstract:
    Textiles (including basketry, cordage, woven, knotted, or plaited products) make up a considerable portion of the perishable archaeological record in dry caves of the northern Great Basin region, much of which is created from plants and plant fibers.
