“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.

"It was on the tip of everyone's tongue, Tyler and I just gave it a name" : Fight Club's representation of consumer culture

Creator:: Wicks, James Anthony
Abstract:: This thesis examines the representation of consumer culture in Fight Club within the context of Frederic Jameson's theory of postmodernism.

Creator:: Query, Patrick
Abstract:: This thesis traces the relationship between the First World War, constructions of masculinity, and the life and poetry of T.S. Eliot.

"Walloped" by the weather? Deflections, diversions, and dubious representations of women in climate change discourse

Creator:: Brinker, Rachel K.
Abstract:: Research shows that women's lives are disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change.

This thesis presents an analysis of the...
