No full textRaven’s Ridge, Chapter 1, is the opening installment of a full-length children’s novel that blends magical realism, regional folklore, and social history to reimagine the cultural narrative of Appalachia. Set along a river valley rich with memory and myth, the chapter follows young Frances Glum as she and her family journey to their new home aboard a whimsical bubble-powered sternwheeler. During the voyage, the enigmatic Captain Suds reveals the origins of the long-rumored haunting of the town’s Mingo Theater, an early hint at the deeper mysteries and community struggles Frances will soon encounter.
The broader project responds directly to the reductive stereotypes that have long framed Appalachian people, particularly those perpetuated since the sensationalized media coverage of the Hatfield and McCoy feud. Through storytelling rooted in authentic lived experience, the novel aims to uplift the creativity, resilience, and complexity of Appalachian artists and communities. It also weaves in underrepresented episodes of American labor history, including the coal wars and their ties to contemporary workers’ rights, offering young readers an accessible entry point into themes of justice, solidarity, and environmental stewardship.
Created from my point of view as an Appalachian multi-media artist raised in a theater rumored to be haunted and in a town still living with the effects of industrial pollution, this project is both personal and aspirational. It imagines a community that successfully defends itself against exploitation, and insists on the power of art and narrative to help envision a more equitable future. The chapter is just over 1,700 words and is accompanied by two miniature 3D sets crafted primarily from recycled and found materials, serving as tactile illustrations. Together, the written and sculptural components form a cohesive chapter

The Effect of Racial Microaggressions on Latinas: Student Perceptions, Reactions, and Coping Mechanisms
No full textabstract: Interpersonal racial discrimination is positively associated with poor mental health outcomes in a number of marginalized groups across the United States (Brondolo, et al., 2008). This paper examines how racial discrimination affects the self-esteem, self-worth, and racial pride of Latinas using interview data from a purposive sample of students. The objectives of this study are: (a) to better understand the effects of racial microaggressions on young Latinas’ construction of self, (b) to explicate how these self-perceptions influence deviant behavior and maladaptive thought processes, drawing on strain and discrimination literatures, and (c) to examine the protective mechanisms Latinas employ with friends and family as a response to racial discrimination. Findings indicated that respondents experienced racial discrimination through a variety of channels, from negative stereotypes to feeling a distinct prejudice in academic settings. Participants utilized numerous coping mechanisms to deal with such encounters, most of which emphasized the importance of drawing strength from Hispanic values, culture, and language during times of adversity.Dissertation/ThesisMasters Thesis Criminology and Criminal Justice 201

“Pernicious Publicity”: The East India Company, the Military, and the Freedom of the Press, 1818–1823
No full textEarly nineteenth-century Bengal is frequently used as a case study to demonstrate how debates over press liberties acquired additional stakes in colonial settings. Yet existing scholarship overlooks how the expansion of Britain's military presence overseas during and after the Napoleonic Wars complicated reformist ambitions for a free press. In India, army officers formed a significant proportion of the European population and were both enthusiastic readers of and contributors to the fledgling colonial press. Using the example of the Calcutta Journal, one of India's first daily newspapers, the author shows how the boundaries of what officers could and could not publicize in the press were negotiated through legal proceedings and disciplinary action and through debate within the newspaper itself. The preservation of military discipline was the primary motivation for press regulation during this period, and the military continued to be viewed as an exception to the rule even as commitment to government intervention began to wane. Yet within the military itself, officers strenuously debated their right to speak out and claim their place within the public sphere. These disputes reflect wider divisions within the army and reveal the ambiguous position of Britain's military at a time when the relationship between state and civil society was being reconfigured

Avoiding Sour Grapes and Bitter Hops: How Wisconsin Laws Can Nurture the Local Wineries and Breweries that Drive Regional Economies
No full textThe purpose of this study is to explore how Wisconsin laws and regulations affect local wineries and breweries. In particular, this research examines how these laws impact local economies via the multiplier effect, a phenomenon in which money spent by local patrons and tourists creates jobs and drives consumption. This research also explores how these local businesses navigate the laws that govern them. Since a lot of the laws affecting these businesses were originally created following prohibition in 1933 -- when alcohol production was virtually synonymous with large volume breweries -- the operation of small local breweries and wineries often do not fit well within the historic context of existing legislation. The methodology used to conduct this study was one-on-one interviews with local winery and brewery owners in Central Wisconsin. To this end, we collected first hand perspectives on what it is like operating a small business under these laws and how they are affected both positively and negatively. Overall, Wisconsin laws could do more to drive local economics in the beer and wine sector, thereby contributing to the
economic success of local communities
