Lacrosse Player Appreciates Support of Gardner-Webb Community
No full textWhen Emma Rose (’17) of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was contacted by the Women’s Lacrosse coach at Gardner-Webb University, she couldn’t believe the timing. “I ended up visiting the school shortly after my grandfather died, and it just seemed like a sign that I found Gardner-Webb,” Rose observed. “I fell in love with the school once I stepped foot on the campus. The community is small and tight knit. You know your professors and everyone in your major. It creates an awesome learning environment. I’ve met the happiest and nicest people at Gardner-Webb, and I think everyone deserves to experience that.”https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/1834/thumbnail.jp

Digital Ecologies of Youth Mental Health: Apps, Therapeutic Publics and Pedagogy as Affective Arrangements
No full textIn this paper, we offer a new conceptual approach to analyzing the interrelations between formal and informal pedagogical sites for learning about youth mental (ill) health with a specific focus on digital health technologies. Our approach builds on an understanding of public pedagogy to examine the pedagogical modes of address (Ellsworth 1997) that are (i) produced through ‘expert’ discourses of mental health literacy for young people; and (ii) include digital practices created by young people as they seek to publicly address mental ill health through social media platforms. We trace the pedagogic modes of address that are evident in examples of digital mental health practices and the creation of what we call therapeutic publics. Through an analysis of mental health apps, we examine how these modes of address are implicated in the affective process of learning about mental (ill) health, and the affective arrangements through which embodied distress is rendered culturally intelligible. In doing so, we situate the use of individual mental health apps within a broader digital ecology that is mediated by therapeutic expertise and offer original contributions to the theorization of public pedagogy

GWU Lacrosse Player Shares Skills with Young People in Uganda
No full textRelying on facial expressions, posture and a limited vocabulary, Emma Rose (’17), a member of the Gardner-Webb University Women’s Lacrosse Team, communicated her instructions to young lacrosse players in Uganda. “Everything you are taught by your parents, like to have good posture and to show well-mannered body language, comes into play when language is limited,” stated Rose, a political science major. “This is the beauty of lacrosse though, and the beauty of sports in general. They can be taught and translated through demonstration and knowing three words in Luganda. Those words being, ‘stop,’ ‘go,’ and ‘Mzungu,’ which is used to refer to people of European descent or a foreigner, just so you know when people are speaking to or about you.”https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/1832/thumbnail.jp
Impacts of birthrate decline
No full textIn 2023, the total fertility rate in England and Wales was 1.44 children per woman, the lowest on record. Because of declining fertility rates, and other factors such as people living longer, the UK has an ageing population.• Population changes can affect the number of people requiring services, and the number of people available to provide services, including in health and social care. They can also affect the number of younger and older people in the workforce. • Workforce changes may affect the economy, businesses and individual workers. Wider potential implications of birthrate decline may include effects on living standards, the provision of informal care, and the environment.• Some commentators suggest immigration can contribute to short-term increases in the total fertility rate. Some contend migration alone is not likely to play a significant role in alleviating pressures of an ageing population.• The global fertility rate has been declining almost continuously over the past 50 years. Some countries have implemented policies to improve family/work balance, which may support having and raising children. Evidence on the effectiveness of policies which seek to raise fertility is limited and contested.<br/
Emma Bovary's revolt : in search of female freedom
No full textopenCette thèse vise à analyser la vaine tentative de la recherche de la liberté féminine à travers la rébellion d'Emma Bovary, célèbre héroïne romantique et anticonformiste créée par l'écrivain français Gustave Flaubert, contre l'assujettissement, en tant que femme, aux conventions morales et sociales rigides imposées par la société patriarcale.
Le premier chapitre est consacré à la critique méprisante de la société bourgeoise dans le contexte historique du XIXème siècle et à la dénonciation du roman pour immoralité qui "conduit" l'écrivain au procès devant le tribunal.
Le deuxième chapitre examine la sociabilité des jeunes filles flaubertiennes, les rôles sociaux imposés aux femmes de l'époque en passant par la description physique et psychologique de la protagoniste Emma.
Enfin, dans le troisième chapitre, on découvre les premières rencontres amoureuses entre les amants et la manière dont Emma a réussi à influencer les lectrices contemporaines, notamment Annie Ernaux.
La figure d'Emma devient un symbole de l'émancipation féminine car elle lutte pour s'affirmer individuellement grâce à ses désirs et à ses passions, malgré son destin tragique, mettant en évidence certaines dynamiques de pouvoir qui soulignent la différence entre les deux sexes.This thesis aims to analyze the vain attempt of the search for female freedom through the rebellion of Emma Bovary, the famous romantic and anti-conformist heroine created by the French author Gustave Flaubert, against submission, as a woman, of the rigid moral and social conventions imposed by patriarchal society.
The first chapter focuses on the contemptuous criticism of bourgeois society in the historical context of the nineteenth century and the denunciation of the novel for immorality that brings the writer to trial before the court.
The second chapter examines the sociability of the flaubertiennes girls, the social roles imposed on women of the time through the physical and psychological description of the protagonist Emma.
Finally, in the third chapter we find the first love encounters between lovers and how Emma has managed to influence contemporary female readers, especially Annie Ernaux.
The figure of Emma becomes a symbol of female emancipation as she struggles to assert herself individually thanks to her desires and her passions, despite her tragic fate, highlighting some power dynamics that emphasize the difference between the two sexes
