  • Remaking myths and subverting the mainstream : teen girls come of age on and off the screen

    Creator:
    Hentges, Sarah Duncan
    Abstract:
    For at least 30 years American culture has failed to provide empowering myths and symbols to its adolescents as they come of age and try to make sense of their selves, sexuality and the culture that surrounds them. This lack of myths and symbols is especially harmful to girls and...

  • A feminist love story : the cinematic possibilities of Shakespeare's Juliet

    Creator:
    Faherty, Dionna E.
    Abstract:
    Literary and feminist theory have recently begun to recognize William Shakespeare's character of Juliet as a possible feminist heroine, but communicating this interpretation on film will be complicated. Not only will the film need to deal with the issues of adaptation that come with moving any play onto film, but...

  • Barbie Feathers: Writing Native Women

    Creator:
    Hedges, Jamie Lewis
    Abstract:
    Literature has often misrepresented Natives and women. I involved Native Women in researching and editing my novel to fairly and accurately represent them. in open-ended interviews they described their experiences of nature, enjoyment, and discrimination as well as their critiques of the novel itself. Descriptions were of discrimination as perceived...

  • Eelgrass-macroalgae interactions; context-dependency in upwelling-influenced estuaries

    Creator:
    Hessing-Lewis, Margot
    Abstract:
    This dissertation investigates the context-dependency of species interactions between seagrass and macroalgae in upwelling-influenced estuaries. In all coastal systems, nutrient loading is multidirectional, resulting from mostly freshwater and marine inputs. The directionality of nutrient inputs may affect the rate of supply of organic matter to the system. In systems where...

  • Computational Rationalizations of Mechanism and Stereocontrol in Small-Molecule Lewis Base Organocatalysis

    Creator:
    McCauley-Walden, Daniel W.
    Abstract:
    My work has focused on investigating synthetic organic reactions using applied computational methods. Non-covalent interactions are critical to catalysis, mechanism, and stereoselectivity, with the most prominent interaction for isothioureas being the S···O contact between the catalyst sulfur atom and the oxygen of the acyl group. A comprehensive joint experimental and...

  • An investigation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism through a genomic analysis of the genus Nitrobacter

    Creator:
    Starkenburg, Shawn R.
    Abstract:
    The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) participate in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen by catalyzing and conserving energy from the oxidation of nitrite (NO₂-) to nitrate (NO₃-) via a nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR). The main objective of this work was to comparatively annotate and analyze the genome sequences of Nitrobacter winogradskyi...

  • Ecosystem Functions of Pacific Northwest Estuaries: The Role of Ocean and Watershed Drivers in Eelgrass and Coho Salmon Dynamics

    Creator:
    Magel, Caitlin L.
    Abstract:
    Interest is expanding for the potential role of estuaries, particularly seagrass and salt marsh habitats, to sequester carbon, mitigate ocean acidification, and support abundant fisheries. The important functions of estuaries are part of a broader set of ecosystem services, or benefits to humans, which are regulated by ocean and watershed...

    Abstract:
    A memoir is variously defined as an abbreviated autobiography; a record of events based on the writer's personal observation or knowledge; and the written story of one's own life. I set out to do those things. But when I sat back to read the first of many drafts, I discovered...
