Beloved Community: Martin Luther King, Howard Thurman, and Josiah Royce
No full textMartin Luther Kings primary emphasis was upon beloved community, a phrase he borrowed from Royce, but an idea that he shared with St. Augustine. Theories of the state tend to focus upon division, in which one stratum dominates another or others. Kings context is the US in the segregated Southa region whose internal divisions sharply instantiate the idea of the state as an unequal hierarchy of dominance. Kings appeal was less to end black subjugation than to end subjugation as such. Hence King was called by some a dreamer, given his background commitment to equality and community, ideals taking marginal precedence over his foreground commitment to liberty and autonomy. This article explores the notion of beloved community broadly and then specifically in Martin Luther King along with related notions in Howard Thurman (1900-1981) and in Josiah Royce (1855-1916). KEYWORDS: Martin Luther King, Howard Thurman, Josiah Royce, Beloved Community, Equality, Desegregation, African American Studies, Arts and Humanities, Christianity, Philosophy, Religio
Josiah Bell Plantation
No full textIn this overview of the history of Josiah Bell Plantation, the author presents information derived from archival research covering geographical location, shifting ownership over time, biographical and genealogical information on owners, the current status of Josiah Bell Plantation, and information about enslaved people and other forms of captive labor. The item contains maps, census data, letters, sketches, records of wills, probate court records, newspaper articles and advertisements, photographs and lists of deed records.Authored primarily by James Smith, in his work with the Brazosport Archaeological Society, this collection reflects the summary of archival and archaeological reconnaissance work conducted by the BAS between 1980 and 2020. The documents in the collection summarize the results of a comprehensive study on the history of Antebellum plantations in Brazoria County, TX, as well as other related historical places and developments
Comparability of examinee proficiency scores on computer adaptive tests using real and simulated data:
No full textIn measurement research, data simulations are a commonly used analytical technique. While simulation designs have many benefits, it is unclear if these artificially generated datasets are able to accurately capture real examinee item response behaviors. This potential lack of comparability may have important implications for administration of computer adaptive tests (CAT) which display proficiency-targeted items to examinees. In addressing this problem, this study sought to compare results from real testing data to that of simulated data to determine the extent to which simulated data are an accurate representation of real-world testing data. Specifically, this study matched real examination data from multiple administrations of the Law School Admission Test to create a single large dataset with 534 items and 5,000 synthetic examinees. From this dataset examinee proficiency estimates and item parameters were obtained, which were used to create 100 simulated item response datasets. Both real and simulated data were utilized in two post-hoc testing formats: CAT and linear format examinations. The CAT administrations used the item-level adaptive method; the linear tests were constructed by selecting items using stratified random sampling. In addition to the two data types and two test administration formats, the impact of three varying test lengths (25, 35, and 50 items) on proficiency estimation was examined. For linear tests, results demonstrated that replication of original proficiency estimates from simulated data was variable, depending on test length, items selected, and examinee proficiency levels. Randomly constructed linear tests with extreme item parameter values resulted in test instability which yielded less accurate proficiency recovery. For most datasets, CAT format tests yielded improved true proficiency recovery as compared to their linear test counterparts. Generally, the longest length 50-item CAT simulated data tests yielded the best replication of original real data proficiency estimates. CAT format tests performed well given real or simulated data, whereas linear tests displayed more performance variation compared to their CAT counterparts. The tails of the distributions showed the greatest variation between data types and conditions. The results of this dissertation support the use of simulated data when the items used to construct the tests reflect non-extreme item parameter values.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 104-108)by Josiah Jeremiah Evan
