Lively Conversations: Meeting Our Mother and Each Other at U.S. Shrines to the Virgin Mary
No full textKaren E. Park received her B.A. in English from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis., and her M.A. and Ph.D in the history of Christianity from the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. Dr. Park’s research interests include American Catholic history, sacred space and the Virgin Mary. She is currently working on a book project about American shrines to the Virgin Mary and their historical and social importance.
About the Lecture
The United States is home to hundreds of shrines to the Virgin Mary, from large suburban complexes, to tiny urban backyard lots. These sites are places where immigrants from places as far flung as Mexico and Vietnam, Haiti and Poland, come to meet their mother in a land far from home, and also to define themselves as both Americans and Catholics. As communities change and adapt over time, relationships to Mary change as well. She is a figure who is both endlessly dynamic and steadfast. One way to think about shrines to Mary is as places where lively and complex conversations take place–conversations about faith and identity, power and gender, hope and fear. In this lecture, Karen E. Park, professor of Theology and Religious studies, discusses the metaphor of “conversation” as a way to understand shrines to Mary across the US, using examples from her edited volume, American Patroness: Marian Shrines and the Making of US Catholicism

From Subjects to Subversives: Chinese Migrants and the Evolution of the French Colonial Surveillance Regime in Sài Gòn-Chợ Lớn, 1874-1930
No full textIn 1874, the French colonial state introduced an extensive regime of ethnic surveillance in the port cities of Sài Gòn-Chợ Lớn. This pioneering system in Vietnam relied on an innovative anthropometric science to target Chinese migrants, whose mobile networks posed ongoing concerns for the imperial authority. This article explores the strategies employed by Chinese migrants to navigate the enforced ethnic classifications and regulations imposed by the colonial administration, exploiting the uncertain boundaries between subjects, foreigners, and citizens. It argues that Chinese subversions emerged through a dynamic interplay with the evolving French bureaucratic practices, shaped by the coexistence of two overlapping imperial systems: a decentralized Chinese empire and a French colonial state aiming to consolidate its rule in Cochinchina. The article reveals that French colonial surveillance was not a one-sided, rigid process of panoptic imperial dominance, but rather a complex landscape characterized by negotiated coexistence, mutual collaborations, and acts of resistance.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/faculty_staff_works/1056/thumbnail.jp
An investigation into the effects on fluid toss geometry over the spillway & ski-jump weir
No full textThe spillway and ski-jump fluid flow device is utilized in hydroelectric power, flood protection, and even big-industry recreation. Such flow control structures are used to affect the movement of a fluid where the balance of forces is central to the study of their fluid dynamics. In open-channel flows, the Froude number in used to classify the flow into categories, two of which are tranquil (calm flow) and turbulent (rapid flow). The purpose of this study is to determine how the toss geometry is affected by the Froude number with a spillway weir guided into a ski-jump. Data was collected in the St. Norbert College fluid mechanics laboratory where the fluid velocity and height were measured in two different points in the open-channel flow. To quantify how the Froude Number relates to the toss geometry, the height, and length of the toss were also measured. We expected the geometry of the toss to increase in both height and length creating different maxima points as the velocity changes. If our hypothesis is correct, then we will see the toss geometry change based on the Froude number. During the data-collecting process, we observed two distinct fluid tosses, a primary toss, and two symmetric secondary tosses. After collecting data, we noticed that our hypothesis is valid for the primary toss, but inconclusive for the secondary tosses. With additional research on the spillway & ski-jump weir, we advance our understanding of fluid flow when this type of control structure is present, allowing us to prevent erosion and control flooding.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1118/thumbnail.jp
