The Sentinel: American-Jewish Weekly Coverage in Chicago of Nazi Persecution of European Jewry and the Holocaust, 1930-1947
No full textWith a qualitative, historical analysis of each issue between 1930 and 1947, this dissertation examines how the Sentinel, an Anglo-Jewish weekly out of Chicago, Illinois, covered the rise of Nazism, Nazi persecution of European Jewry, the Holocaust, and its immediate aftermath. Prior to this dissertation, the Sentinel, despite being one of the major Anglo-Jewish weeklies in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s, and being published in Chicago, the American city with the second largest Jewish population after New York during the time examined in this dissertation, had never been studied in depth. The Sentinel prided itself on covering all essential Jewish news from Chicago, the United States, and the world. Through essays, editorials, and articles via wire services, the Sentinel followed the rise of Hitler and Nazism and provided detailed information about the increasing persecution of German Jewry under Nazi rule through the 1930s. With the outbreak of the Second World War, persecution transitioned to the systematic extermination of European Jewry and the Sentinel continued to offer comprehensive reports as Nazi control spread throughout Europe. Even as the entrance of the United States into the war impacted information coming out of Europe, the coverage of Nazi atrocities toward European Jews remained a priority to the Sentinel. Within the pages of the Sentinel, the major topics of Nazi persecution of European Jewry and the Holocaust can be found as they happened and in immense detail. Following the end of the Second World War in Europe, the Sentinel followed the trials of Nazi criminals and reported on new information learned in the years immediately after the war
The Digital Incunabula: The Future of Storytelling in the Digital Age
No full textThe term incunabula refers to the transition period that took place 50 years after Johannes Gutenberg introduced his printing press to the publishing world (1455 to 1505). In this thesis, I compare the first incunabula to the current Digital Incunabula, which I believe is the 50-year transition underway as we assimilate traditional storytelling practices to a digital platform (1996 to 2046). To illustrate this, I review the histories of the literal age, the secondary orality and the digital orality before making some observations about our transition into multimedia storytelling. The paper reviews several key experiments in multimedia storytelling produced by The New York Times, The Rocky Mountain News and The Guardian among others. The paper reviews the influences of consumer electronic devices including tablet computers, augmented reality, virtual reality and artificial intelligence. It also reflects upon nonfiction narrative forms for written and oral communication media. The paper also considers aspects of copyright policy, public media policy and the influences of the digital disruption. The paper concludes with some observations about the future of long-form, nonfiction storytelling as we move through the 21st century

When Students Design Their Own Games: A Failed Experiment In a First-Year Seminar
Get PDFThis paper compares indicators of student engagement across different sections of a first-year seminar taught in Fall 2017. As part of an active learning pedagogy, students in the author’s sections of the course were clustered into teams that designed and played games on refugee migration, aid, and resettlement. Students in seminar sections taught by other faculty members experienced traditional forms of instruction that did not include game design. Data from a survey administered to students in different seminar sections did not indicate an association between game design and student engagement. Further investigation revealed substantial declines in the results of student evaluations of the author’s teaching from the previous year, despite only minor differences in course content. Colleagues anecdotally reported a marked decrease in the academic orientation and performance of first-year students in 2017, suggesting that pre-existing characteristics may be a greater influence on student engagement than an active learning pedagogy involving games
Maximizing Shareholder Wealth and Stakeholder Value through Benefit Corporations: Doing Good and Doing Well
Get PDFBenefit Corporations must create a general public benefit, and answer to shareholders while decisions based on society or environment, rather than solely on profit, are legally protected (Alpern, 2015). The Benefit Corporation\u27s legal and performance standards help ensure market growth, valuation, impact, and integrity (Neubauer, 2016). This paper examines the evolution of Benefit Corporations and some of the legal differences between traditional for-profit corporations including related court cases. The authors provide a business rationale in support of conscientious for-profit organizations. How a company can become a Benefit Corporation and the value added will be discussed
The Nation-State & Biopower: Impacts on Individuals, Empowerment and the Limitations of Liberty
No full textThe emergence of radical biotechnological advances in food, science and medicine fundamentally challenge the relationships among individual humans, science and governance in the Western liberal democratic Nation-State. Both in concept and in practice, the post-Westhpalian Nation-State is poorly situated to deal with the scope, pace, diversity and linkages between individual choice, societal mores and norms, scientific potential, and the requirements of effective governing. The purpose of this research was to identify possible convergences—and collisions—of governmentality, medical science, and individual agency, choice and liberty in the liberal democratic Nation-State. While much has been written on each of these three fields independently, few authors have grappled with the complex interplay of these three. This is a qualitative study with extensive research in the fields of philosophy, science, and theories of government. The findings indicate there is a Medical Renaissance in progress that has significant impact not only on individual lives, but in the living of life as part of societies and structures. This study advances our understanding of effective governance in an era of rapid biotechnological change and counters the belief of some that the Nation-State is an archaic construct. The findings provide insights into the challenges and opportunities for a new framework of governance. There is fertile ground for further research—this dissertation aims to illuminate the questions to guide that discourse of discovery
Networks of Survival in Kinshasa, Mumbai, Detroit, and Comparison Cities; an Empirical Perspective
No full textPeople in impoverished cities, for example in Kinshasa, lend small quantities of food to neighbors when requested, to prevent starvation. In Mumbai, they share their living space with others who are homeless. In Detroit, churches and the Detroit Urban League have helped poor residents to obtain jobs, meals, and housing. Rather than mere self-interest, this expression of generosity is an outstanding human quality. Networks of survival also include the lessons of history, good economic and political policies, human rights, equal opportunity, and culture
