For I Know That Nothing Good Dwells in Me.
No full textSet against the backdrop of love, guilt, and religious morality, this collection delves into the intricate dynamics of Southern Baptist families. By incorporating elements of Calvinist theology and examining the implications of religious ideology on sexual ethics, the stories illuminate the tensions inherent within a Christian family and the Christian life. The theoretical framework for this project draws from scholarly discourse on Calvinism, religious guilt, and complementarian sexuality, offering a critical lens through which to analyze the stories’ themes and characters. Through alternating points of view and intimate character portraits, the collection aims to immerse readers in the complex emotional landscapes of its protagonists, inviting reflection on the universal experiences of family and faith
Characterizing the Coherence of Three-Atom Entangled States near Förster Resonance
No full textNeutral Rydberg atoms, or atoms in highly excited states, have many properties that are useful when studying quantum information or building quantum devices. Our lab has recently studied entangled states of three Rydberg atoms, which might find applications to qutrits or three-quibit gates. The strong coherence of these entangled states is the key to their usefulness. I am investigating the properties of these states, specifically their coherence time, to see how we might control and prolong it
The Immanuel/Jade Model: A Tool for Addressing Desire Conflicts in Contentious Modification Cases
No full textTranshumanists, like Nick Bostrom and Julian Huxley, support the use and development of novel modification technologies in order to support a teleological vision of progressive human enhancement. By contrast bioconservatives, like Tom Koch and Francis Fukuyama, staunchly oppose the use and development of specific or all modification technologies for ethical and aesthetic reasons. Out of the conflict between these two opposed positions a third position, anarchist transhumanism, emerges. Anarchist transhumanism maintains transhumanism’s openness to modification technology, while replacing its evolutionary teleology with a deep commitment to morphological freedom. The morphological freedom centered approach to the modification debate is promising, but it runs into problems when attempts are made to situate it within a theoretical ethical system. This project works to bridge the gap between anarchist transhumanism and preference utilitarianism, by providing an answer to this question: why do desires about one’s own body carry more normative weight than desires about the bodies of others? This project attempts to answer this question by developing and using the Immanuel/Jade model. This model works to identify relevant facts about the desires involved in contentious modification cases so that a clear ethical judgment can be reached. This project will also analyze several cases of interpersonal conflict about gender-affirming care within a transgender friend group using the Immanuel/Jade model, in order to demonstrate its efficacy and proper use
