Shut Up and Listen: Adventures of an Oral Historian
No full textIn late 2013, I conducted my first oral history at Gettysburg College-or anywhere else. Since then, I\u27ve been fortunate to meet and listen to people from all segments of the College community; document the memories of those who had important positions at the College, were here at fraught times in our history, or have had significant experiences elsewhere; and be a conduit through which people tell their stories in their own words, and add them to the documentary mosaic that is the Musselman Library Oral History Collection.
This talk will be about what oral history is, how it\u27s done, and the discoveries it can enable. I\u27ll talk about the oral history initiatives I\u27ve pursued with the support, and sometimes at the instigation, of Library Dean Robin Wagner. I\u27ll describe some of what I\u27ve learned about people and about life through this work. And I\u27ll relate some of the funny, surprising, and embarrassing moments I\u27ve experienced in the course of discovering the College\u27s history one person at a time

Primary Prevention and the Socioecological Model: An Integrated, Preventative Approach to Combat Sexual Violence
Get PDFA growing body of research suggests that sex offense registries, though popular with politicians and the public, are ineffective at reducing victimization. Registries only address the individual who perpetrates after victimization occurs in an effort to prevent recidivism. They do not address the other, broader reasons that victimization transpires; they do not prevent sexual violence, and they do not improve communities’ safety. Using the socioecological framework to design primary prevention practices accounts for the interplay between the individual, relationship, community, and societal factors that lead to perpetration and should be used in place of reactive measures that fail to effectively reduce sex offending
Dissociative Identity Disorder: Etiology, Media, and Stigma
Get PDFDissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is often portrayed incorrectly in the media, causing the public to know little about the disorder other than the stigmatizing information from the media. Because of this, individuals with the disorder often face more stigmatizing behaviors than the normal amount of stigma those with mental disorders often face. The newest revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) contributes the etiology of the disorder to underlying trauma, however many psychologists consider a sociocognitive or fantasy model. Current research provides more support for the trauma/posttraumatic model of the disorder and further supports the harm the media is causing

Analyzing Ligeti’s Étude No. 11: En Suspens
No full textUsing the tools of post-tonal music theory, we analyze Gyorgy Ligeti\u27s Etude No. 11, one of a series of etudes written to present piano students with technical and compositional challenges. As listeners, we clearly experience a feeling of suspense and constant uneasiness. To find out why, we must dig deep into the structure of the piece. Considering pitch class content, the role of meter, rhythm, and phrase-shaping, and development, this analysis reveals a complicated mathematical arrangement behind the auditory experience
Religious Schism: A Case Study of Social and Political Critique in Sāmoa
Get PDFExamining religious schism within Sāmoa in order to demonstrate that schism of Christianity within Sāmoa, of charismatic-Pentecostal churches from traditional mainline churches, represents a social critique. By unifying under a reformed church environment, which mimics existing religious and cultural systems, Sāmoans are challenging their economic, social, and political positionality, while upholding the traditional framework of the fa’aSāmoa, Sāmoan way of life. This work highlights how individuals within Sāmoa navigate increasingly complex social, political, and economic power dynamics. Much of the focus of explores how individuals exercise religious agency, formulated through a created Sāmoan cosmology, to challenge larger structures of oppression within Sāmoa
Close, But No Cigar: Tobacco Usage During the Civil War Era
Get PDFTobacco carried a range of gendered, social, regional, and racial meanings in America during the nineteenth century, and these disparate meanings were symbolized through different forms of consumption. The cultural meaning inherent within chewing tobacco, cigars, pipes, and cigarettes, are the object of this research. I will examine the class associations linked to chewing tobacco, the manly identities symbolized through cigars and pipes, and explore cultural movement and racial meaning through the cigarette. Through tobacco, I will explain how nineteenth century Americans comprehended addiction, and establish the organic agency of consumable commodities to influence the consciousness of their users
