"‘Using the old names anew’: Derek Walcott and Graeco-Roman Antiquity"
In this Speaker Series, Dr Justine McConnell explores the ways in which the St Lucian poet and dramatist, Derek Walcott, winner of the 1992 Nobel Prize for Literature, re-imagines tragedy, epic, and the myths they retell.
Derek Walcott once declared, ‘What is needed is not new names for old things, or old names for old things, but the faith of using the old names anew’. For Walcott, this is a strategy that – far from signalling a derivative aspect in his writing – nurtures the creation of new work that recasts older forms without being overshadowed by them. Famously, Walcott denied that his book-length poem Omeros was an epic, but he went on to qualify that statement by asking us to rethink what we understand by ‘epic’. So too, the title of his drama The Isle is Full of Noises evokes Shakespeare’s The Tempest, but the tale it tells is also of a Philoctetes-figure nicknamed Crusoe and the modern exploitation of St Lucia in the name of tourism; and his early play Ione embeds a mashup of several Greek tragedies (Aeschylus’ Agamemnon and Seven Against Thebes, Euripides’ Medea and The Bacchae) within a context of Caribbean oral storytelling.
Contesting the imperial power dynamics European works have often been used to propagate, Walcott contributes to the creation of a new body of Caribbean literature and asserts a place for Caribbean art in a global, transhistorical canon.

Selecting a Name for Your 4-H Club
No full textEach 4-H club is a unique group of individuals who work together toward common goals. A club name should reflect the purpose(s) of the club, often relating to the project(s) the club participates in, or the geographic area where members live or the club meets. One of the first ways to develop a sense of belonging and youth engagement is allowing all of the members to participate in selecting a name for the club. Information in this sheet may help you guide the members in making a wise name choice. This 2-page fact sheet was written by Keith G. Diem, Marilyn N. Norman, Joy C. Jordan, and Lindsey McConnell, and published by the UF Department of 4-H Youth Development, July 2014.

How to Start a 4-H Club (for Youth Ages 8–18)
No full textBeing in a 4-H club provides important opportunities for youth to learn subject matter and life skills while working with a caring adult and other youth. Once youth are 4-H members, they become eligible for a variety of the benefits of belonging to 4-H, including awards, trips, and special events. Of course, it’s meant to be fun for the kids and the leaders too! Starting a 4-H club isn’t difficult, and you are encouraged to seek help from parents or other volunteers. Local Extension/4-H staff can help you get started. This 4-page fact sheet was written by Keith G. Diem, Joy Jordan, Bryan Terry, Dale Pracht, Judy Butterfield, Adam Cletzer, Lindsey McConnell, and Ben Knowles, and published by the UF Department of 4-H Youth Development, July 2014.

Unconstitutional Conditions: Unrecognized Implications for the Establishment Clause
No full textIn this Article, Professor McConnell contends that the courts\u27 treatment of funding of religious and secular institutions conflicts with the analysis of government funding schemes almost universally accepted in other contexts. In doing so, the author accepts that the crude distinction between penalties and subsidies now employed in constitutional law is misleading and will not work. The author\u27s thesis is that the Supreme Court\u27s test for an establishment of religion, set forth in Lemon v. Kurtzman, relies squarely on this crude and misleading distinction and must before be rejected or reinterpreted
Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art
No full textOften referred to as the "black art" because of its complexity and uncertainty, software estimation is not as difficult or puzzling as people think. In fact, generating accurate estimates is straightforward-once you understand the art of creating them. In his highly anticipated book, acclaimed author Steve McConnell unravels the mystery to successful software estimation-distilling academic information and real-world experience into a practical guide for working software professionals. Instead of arcane treatises and rigid modeling techniques, this guide highlights a proven set of procedures

No full text‘Words (and meaningful silences) matter enormously’, Sally McConnell-Ginet warns at the beginning of this book, as she invites readers to explore the social and political significance of a wide range of linguistic practices. In this rich volume, McConnell-Ginet includes representative examples of her work since the 1970s, which have been foundational in the fields of sociolinguistics and gender studies. These pieces are enriched by commentaries, in which the author offers insight into how her own views and ways of thinking about language and power have changed over time, considering her own positionality and privileges. Instead of calling for a unified thesis, however, the author offers a number of case studies for reflection that identify particular kinds of linguistic practices and how these are linked to social inequality
