Master's Thesis: Finding Freedom Centering Black Feminist Narratives in the Civil War
No full textThis thesis presents the rationale for a social studies and English-language arts bridge unit plan using Connie Porter’s Finding Freedom: An Addy Story that invites students to imagine new perspectives on democracy and freedom. Traditional ways of knowing in the United States, and in Social Studies and Language Arts courses by extension, focuses on the knowledge constructed by wealthy, white men. These lessons are created in response to this and call students to use diverse perspectives, specifically those from black women and girls, to re-examine American history during slavery and into the Civil War. Moreover, they invite students to examine the role of race and gender in American life and argue for new possibilities for democracy and freedom. This framework for the unit is supported by Black feminist epistemologies, focusing on the role of personal experience, dialogue, empathy, and history in knowledge construction. Through the process of gaining academic competencies and learning how to embrace diverse perspectives on the world, students gain skills that will prepare them to make changes in their community and the world
"Aggregate Optics of Make-A-Do" Opening Image
No full textThis item was uploaded to DLynx in the Visual Resources Center during the spring of 2019.Erin Harmon’s work dwells in the twilight zone between painting and sculpture. Filled with longing for places that do not actually exist, contradictions flourish with invocations of both the animated and the arrested, the joyful and the staid, the high and the low. Material and processes become sites for fantasy, illusion, and the interplay between flat and not-flat. The vibrant work in "Aggregate Optics of Make-A-Do" tinkers with scale to produce environments that we can project ourselves into as landscapes, even while confronting their qualities of un-nature.
Borne from Harmon’s previous body of painted paper collages, her new work is influenced by techniques common to theatrical painters, a lineage of shapes and images become a trail of breadcrumbs from one idea to another. These materials are scoured, drawn, painted, cut, and recycled over time, one idea begetting another, endlessly self-generating. Whether it be through ceramic, painted muslin, or projection animation (a collaborative video in which Harmon’s gouache-on-paper cut-outs have been animated by artist and musician Kyle Statham), the finished works encapsulate a romance with materials and processes
