Behind the Camera: John T. Hopf and His Work
No full textJohn T. Hopf photographed all manner of Newport life, from America’s Cup races to shots that document the transformation of Newport in the 1960s. From “behind the camera,” he caught family portraits, festivals, contests, newsworthy events, and familiar streetscapes. Significantly, Hopf made a specialty of aerial photographs and was the first to document Newport from the air. His extensive collection of photographs and negatives was recently donated to NHS by his wife Audrey Hopf, who advised the authors of this article, NHS Deputy Director and Director of Education Ingrid Peters and Sarah Long, Manager of Academic Services and Photo Archives at the Newport Historical Society. The result is, “Behind the Camera,” in which Peters and Long provide an introduction to Hopf ’s life as a photographer, and then have carefully selected photographs from the Hopf Collection that demonstrate the breadth and depth of Hopf’s work. Their article conveys the immeasurable value of the Hopf collection to the study of twentieth-century Newport history
Misrepresented and Unheard: The Latino Rebels
Get PDFIn today’s political climate, immigration, undocumented immigrants, and the Latinx identity have been pushed to the forefront of the news cycle, political campaigns, and social justice movements. The social justice movement associated with the undocumented will be explored through one alternative news source, Latino Rebels. Through close textual analysis, it will become evident how Latino Rebels holds these identities of Latinx, undocumented, and immigrant very close to its own voice, and often amplifies a clear message for awareness and policy change, which goes beyond the traditional scope of objectivity in reporting
Riding the Wave of Microplastics in Bermuda
Get PDFThe presence of marine debris and microplastics in the Earth’s oceans are a global environmental issue. Bermuda’s location in the middle of the North Atlantic Gyre makes it the perfect case study for this work. As the crisis unfolds, Bermuda’s environment, economy, and population are at risk of witnessing firsthand the effects of plastic pollution. This paper relies on scholarly research as well as anecdotal evidence from retail stores and locals to compile information in order to provide necessary recommendations to benefit Bermuda’s ocean health. This research evaluates the pros and cons of policies which could mitigate the problem. Analysis of these policies has led to three major recommendations for the island of Bermuda, based on the foundation that small changes lead to larger long-term benefits. It is suggested that local businesses should provide incentives to consumers to reduce their use of single-use plastic. Marine debris and microplastic task forces should serve an educational purpose in schools around the island. Lastly, it was identified that Bermuda lacks quantifiable data with regards to their own plastic consumption as well as recycling schemes. Bermuda’s ability to pursue such recommendations could have long-term lasting benefits on their ocean’s health. Marine debris and microplastics are an expansive global epidemic, while this work focuses solely on the small island of Bermuda it is important to address that this epidemic reaches all corners of the globe
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 Influence of Technology in Amphibious Warfare and its impact on U.S. Geopolitical Strategy from 1898 to 1945
No full textThis dissertation research examines the influence of technology on amphibious warfare and its impact on the United States’ geopolitical strategy from 1898 to 1945. Specifically, this dissertation investigates how amphibious warfare went through a gradual technological transformation that not only defined American geopolitical strategy, but also had political and social ramifications on the United States. As a result of the Second Industrial Revolution, the unprecedented development of military weapons and technology enabled industrialized nations, such as the United States, to quickly project large, powerful military forces in almost any part of the world. With the conduct of amphibious warfare changing as a result of the technological and scientific know-how of a well-developed industrial base, the United States was able to appreciate the advantages and challenges of its geographic position in the international system to develop highly sophisticated amphibious capabilities to land and defeat its enemies in both the eastern and western hemispheres. In examining the influence of technology on amphibious warfare and its impact on American geopolitical strategy, this dissertation explores the technological and scientific influences that contributed to the United States’ development of amphibious warfare; the political and diplomatic environment that led to this dynamic military capability; and the manner in which this technological influence transformed both the United States and its relationship with the world
