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.

Abstract:: This thesis primarily investigates nonhumans in the writings of 12th century historians.

Piers Plowman, Healthcare Praxis, and the Corporal Mercies

Creator:: MacDougall, Eric W.
Abstract:: I argue that Matthew’s seven acts of corporal mercies provide a means of reading Piers Plowman within a framework familiar to medieval audiences, but also exposes the different models of health that are at work within the poem and the soteriological significance of these healths. In chapter one, I focus...
