Machera Floors Installation Images
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Chip Pankey and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in Fall 2019.This is an Installation Image taken by Chip Pankey of Johana Moscoso's "Machera Floors" exhibition in the Clough-Hanson Gallery. Johana Moscoso’s "Machera Floors" are a series of large scale floor sculptures accompanied by process videos in which the artist and her peers dance Colombian cumbia and salsa over unfired porcelain tiles. The wet tiles, imprinted with impressions of the dancers’ heeled shoes, were fired, glazed, and re-assembled into large sculptural dance floors that archive dynamic expressions of the dancers' movements. The indelible impressions in "Machera Floors" embody the history of migration, which needs to be remembered and constantly retold in an America that tends to overlook the cultural assets and values created by immigrated populations.
There was an Artist's talk held on September 5 at 6:00 in Blount Auditorium. The Opening reception was on September 6 from 5:00 - 7:00. The Exhibition was on view through October 12

"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

A Measured Approach to the Death Penalty
No full textPresentation by Connor Hurley ('19) delivered at the Rhodes College Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Symposium (URCAS).Capital punishment is a fixture of the American justice system. To the disdain of many, the death penalty has endured despite numerous problems. While a number of objections to capital punishment are deeply rooted in religious, moral, and philosophical beliefs, major issues can be found in its implementation and basic procedure as well. My paper discusses the history of capital punishment in the United States, with a focus on the movements to abolish or alter the death penalty, as well as proposes solutions to several important legal and procedural issues. In order to deal with problems such as racial bias, wrongful conviction, and proportionality of the crime to the punishment, several additional safeguards must be put into place throughout the litigation process. The basis of this study will reflect the ongoing struggle to reconcile the constitutional rights of the accused with society's desire to promote a safe community

Master's Thesis: Literature-Informed Pedagogical Framework for Supporting ADHD Children in Urban Schools
No full textThis thesis investigates non-traditional interventions to address ADHD in elementary classrooms. This pedagogical framework is developed through a theoretical perspective using Barbara Rogoff’s ideas on child development, as well as through empirical literature. Barbara Rogoff argues that educators must acknowledge the cultural biases they bring into the classroom and provides a theoretical basis to challenge traditional teaching practices in urban schools that too often treat all students as identical learners. When applied to ADHD, the lens of Rogoff reveals that the rise of ADHD is a symptom of broader inadequacies in the US education system. With this idea as a guide, this thesis offers teachers a framework that includes three strategies to incorporate into the classroom focused around two themes. These first theme is movement/environment which includes the furniture and environment of the room as well as incorporating exercise and movement into the classroom. The second theme is mindfulness which includes green spaces and mindfulness exercises. We must allow teachers the freedom to implement strategies to best help students in their classrooms and ultimately give children more autonomy over their learning. Teachers need to avoid biases about children with ADHD and work to create an inclusive classroom space where all students’ needs are met, whether or not they have the ADHD diagnosis
