Correspondence, to Abe D. Waldauer from Ferd Ehrlich, 1937 September 14
Get PDFCorrespondence, to Abe D. Waldauer, Memphis, TN, from Ferd Ehrlich, Greenville, MS, 1937 September 14. Ehrlich is thanking Waldauer for his assistance in a case. He stated, I don\u27t know how to begin this letter in order to show my appreciation and love toward you for the deep interest that you have taken in my behalf. It proves to me that there is some good left in people... Ehrlich also recounts how Waldauer\u27s father, presumably an attorney, assisted him in the past during a case, but that Waldauer was too young at the time to remember.https://digitalcommons.memphis.edu/speccoll-mss-waldaueradpapers1/1003/thumbnail.jp
HATSHEPSUT, NEFERURE, THUTMOSE III, AND DYNASTIC SUCCESSION: DISMANTLING THE MYTH OF NEFERURE’S HEIRSHIP
Get PDFAt the heart of most scholarly debates surrounding Neferure is the question of her political identity and what her depictions, and their erasure, reveal about her role at court. Despite a context of scholarship that assumes Maatkare as a female king would wish to establish a succession of female rulers, there is no evidence to unequivocally support the interpretation of Neferure as Maatkare’s heir. Instead, the evidence indicates that Neferure’s position in Maatkare’s court was one of unparalleled and secure female power, without the anticipation of kingship. In this thesis, I argue that we should interpret Neferure as being shown in proleptic representation typical of other powerful royal women and renew our understanding of Neferure’s exceptionalism as one that aligns her with the legacies of Ahmose Nefertari and queen Hatshepsut. I also argue that, rather than viewing Neferure as her mother’s heir, it is more likely that Hatshepsut had no designated successor

Profiling as a Service Failure
No full textProfiling occurs when negative stereotype assumptions based on personal characteristics (e.g., gender, age, race, or sexual orientation, among others) are applied to individuals, resulting in discrimination. Using a mixed-methods approach, this work explores how customers experience or anticipate profiling in a service setting, which constitutes a special type of service failure. Using a critical incident technique, study 1 establishes that customers feel stereotyped in retail service settings and that these profiling experiences constitute service failures that generate various emotions and coping behaviors, which are exacerbated when customers anticipate profiling will occur. Study 2 uses in-depth interviews to (1) advance a process framework for profiling as a service failure (PaSF), including pre-and post-coping behaviors as well as related emotions and proposed recovery solutions, (2) further develop and probe a typology of PaSF, and (3) develop characterizations of customer approach styles and responses to profiling. Finally, study 3 empirically tests our framework and appropriate service recovery strategies. Utilizing a stereotype threat theory lens, we broaden our understanding of and contribute to the literature on service failure and recovery, profiling, discrimination, and customer emotions, attributions, and vulnerability. Along with theoretical and managerial implications, we provide an extensive future research agenda to serve as a catalyst for further exploration
