    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.

  • The Canine Connection: an anthropologically grounded philosophical perspective on caring for dogs

    Creator:
    Baggot, Siobhan M.
    Abstract:
    Most philosophical discussions of moral consideration for animals focus on animals as a single category, neglecting to differentiate them by type or role (such as wild, domestic, laboratory, or companion). Moreover, the importance of the individual animal in terms of relationship to humans is de-emphasised. Animals should not be discussed...

  • To Express the Inexpressible: Poetry as Philosophy within Mystical Discourse

    Creator:
    Hyam, Jarrod
    Abstract:
    Within this thesis, I posit that poetry, rather than philosophical argument, is a more effective means of expressing and understanding the nature of mystical experiences.
