Newport and Monumenta: The Ambition, Controversy, and Legacy of Contemporary Sculpture
No full textThe Newport Bridge, later renamed to honor Senator Claiborne Pell, opened in1969, linking the Newport to Jamestown, and ultimately to mainland Rhode Island. In 1973, shortly before leaving the Presidency in disgrace, Nixon pulled the Navy out of Newport. This had terrible financial consequences for the city. Historically, Newport was a city renowned for its traditional architecture with quaint colonial houses and Gilded Age mansions. Its location along the coast was an ideal and picturesque setting. With all of its natural beauty and attractions,Newport suffered economically due to the loss of the Navy. Concerned Newporters,aware of the national and regional economic downturn, experimented with ways to increase tourism in Newport. One such event was Monumenta, an outdoor sculptural exhibit that opened in Newport in August of 1974. Monumenta began as a modest idea and rapidly escalated into a citywide outdoor sculpture exhibit. William Crimmins, a local Middletown resident and schoolmaster, was the catalyst behind the idea. It was an idea that some would applaud and some would scorn
When Educational Technology Meets New Pedagogical Methods
Get PDFThis thesis speaks about the The RIBGHE (Rhode Island Board of Governors of Higher Education), formally known as Eisenhower grant. The Science and Mathematic faculty at Salve Regina University have been working under the Eisenhower and RIBGHE Partnership Grant for the past 8 years. It had multiple benefits. It was through the RIBGHE, that there were three cornerstones the driving force behind this senior thesis; 1) introducing technology in the high schools in R.I. 2) introducing new pedagogical methods in science education and 3) training teachers to develop inquiry-based curricular materials. PACO Scientific, which is one of the new major manufactures of state-of-the art educational technology, linked the grant program to develop guided inquiry curriculum for high school science teachers and served as an excellent tool for the training of the high school teachers. But it was also through this experiment that it was realized how much the grant did for the local community. The RIBGHE grant provided a service to the local high schools. It introduced new teaching methods to Rhode Island schools that need improvements with its curricular standards. The grant also helped professional development and certification of high school science teachers that might not normally be able to do so on their own. But probably most importantly for the students, the grant delivered the latest technology to high schools that might normally be able to afford such lab equipment. However overall, the grant allowed the expertise of the joined faculty- student team help bring high school science education to the 21st century in the local community

Illuminated art in the court of Charles the Bald: A study of the great Carolingian Bibles of the 9th century
No full textThis dissertation explores the relationship between technology and 9th century Christian art as well as the integrative forces that compelled religion and technology to produce art. It seeks to examine this art using the Greek definition of technology (techne-art/craft, and logia-study/discourse). It is a study of the Augustinian city of God: a city of men working assiduously to preserve sacred words and deeds using the flavors, seeds, and stones of the earth and blending them into works that would both please God and illuminate him for man. The early part of the dissertation focuses on the theological framework behind the production of these Bibles, with an emphasis on the writings of the fathers of the church including St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, and St Benedict. Their thoughts concerning the effects of Scripture are of primary importance. Other chapters blend the study of methods of producing these bibles with specific forms of technology used. Various folios from these Bibles are analyzed in terms of their artistic methods and their Christian messages. The end result of this dissertation is an understanding of the political and philosophical aspects of religious art as well as the technological imperatives in their production
Human factors fostering sustainable safe drinking water
No full textThis dissertation, Human Factors Fostering Sustainable Safe Drinking Water, examines from a humanities perspective, scientific and cultural data to assess the relationship and impact of drinking water challenges on the human condition in eight different communities: Mystic, CT, New London, CT, Bar Harbor, ME, South Portland, ME, Orleans, MA, Falmouth, MA, Jamestown, RI, and Newport, RI. Specifically measured is the technological and cultural response to the problem of limited drinking water resources by examining the water management and the art, ethics, history, literature, philosophy, and religious practices of each community. A non-traditional approach to qualitative research through a review of direct observations and collection of data was employed in order to measure the communities\u27 practices and extrapolate the attitudes and values that might influence people\u27s perception and use of their drinking water resources. This unique approach combining the humanities and science has enabled a rich analysis of my research question, Which human factors influence some New England communities to effectively manage their resources so as to maintain a sustainable drinking water supply? This study also incorporates scientific data from local, county, state, and federal agencies, as well as private organizations, which were obtained through local water reports, environmental assessments, the United States Geologic Survey (USGS), EPA publications, and websites. Data was primarily derived from the years 2000-2005. For example the majority of the demographic data was extrapolated from the year 2000 census. Information and data about the eight communities were collected from a review of literature and direct field observations. First the eight communities were evaluated according to their drinking water\u27s level of sustainability during 2001 to 2003. Then the demographic, economic, and human factors were coded based on the influence they might have towards the community achieving sustainable water supplies. Analyses and categorization of this information in order to assess each community\u27s water supplies and water usage practices entailed assembling tables, drawing flow charts, and discussing findings. The study concludes that the smallest populated communities, Bar Harbor and Orleans were evaluated as sustainable and the largest populated communities, Falmouth and Newport were evaluated as unsustainable. The individual variables and groupings of these variables did not reveal any other consistent relationships. However, each of the communities studied exhibited some environmental awareness toward their community\u27s water supply. Their awareness may be a positive indication that they will be able to succeed in sustaining fixture water reserves
