Lest We Forget: Ladies' Memorial Associations in Georgia and the Creation of the Lost Cause
Creators: name: Hinnant, Lindsay
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Ladies' Memorial Associations (LMAs) initially formed after the Civil War in order to provide proper burials for dead Confederate soldiers. Women in LMAs raised funds to beautify cemeteries and erect monuments. However, their work was hardly limited to caring for the dead as the actions of the LMAs can be considered the beginnings of the Lost Cause. Even if the LMAs did not necessarily realize it or intend it, their work was visibly political and had far-reaching implications, especially for a subsequent women's group, the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC). Until now, little research has been conducted on the LMA chapters in Georgia. This work brings Southern women of the post-Civil War era back into the historical narrative and demonstrates their involvement in the creation of the Lost Cause.
Becoming the New Soviet Woman: Redefining Class and Gender in the Early Soviet Women's Press
Creators: name: Braginskaya, Elena
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: This study investigates changes in an early Soviet women?s magazine?s representations of class and gender to shed light on how the image of the new Soviet woman came into being. As the only non-party women?s magazine of the late 1920s, Zhenskii Zhurnal (1926-1930), better than any other publication, reveals the state-imposed process of transforming female identity. Zhenskii Zhurnal started out as the publication for housewives, but by the end of the decade it was forced to avoid emphasizing traditional female roles and concerns related to private life and the domestic sphere. Achievement of production goals ? the new priority for all Soviet citizens ? became central to narratives on the proper meaning of femininity. In order to transform a woman into an arduous worker, her female priorities needed to be reconfigured and her devotion to the traditional interests of her sex had to be minimized.

The Paradox of Theodore Parker: Transcendentalist, Abolitionist, and White Supremacist
Creators: name: Kelley, Jim
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Theodore Parker was one of the leading intellectuals and militant abolitionists of the antebellum era who has been largely overlooked by modern scholars. He was a leading Transcendentalist intellectual and was also one of the most militant leaders of the abolitionist movement. Despite his fervent abolitionism, his writings reveal an attitude that today we would call racist or white supremacist. Some scholars have argued that Parker's motivation for abolishing slavery was to redeem the Anglo-Saxon race from the sin of slavery. I will dispute this claim and explore Parker's true understanding of race. How he could both believe in the supremacy of the white race, and at the same time, militantly oppose African slavery. Parker was influenced by the racial "science" of his era which supported the superiority of the Caucasian race. Conversely he also believed that everyone, including African slaves, had human dignity.

description: The emergence of digital dentistry has led to the introduction of various three-dimensional (3D) printing materials in the market, specifically for provisional fixed restoration. This study aimed to undertake a systematic review of the published literature on the Mechanical Properties of 3D- Printed Provisional Resin Materials for crown and fixed dental prosthesis (FDP). The electronic database on PubMed/Medline was searched for relevant studies. The search retrieved articles that were published from January 2011 to March 2023. The established focus question was: “Do provisional 3D-printed materials have better mechanical properties than conventional or milled provisional materials?”. The systematically extracted data included the researcher’s name(s), publication year, evaluation method, number of samples, types of materials, and study outcome. A total of 19 studies were included in this systematic review. These studies examined different aspects of the mechanical properties of 3D-printed provisional materials. Flexural Strength and Microhardness were the frequently used mechanical testing. Furthermore, 3D-printed provisional restorations showed higher hardness, smoother surfaces, less wear volume loss, and higher wear resistance compared to either milled or conventional, or both. 3D-printed provisional resin materials appear to be a promising option for fabricating provisional crowns and FDPs.
Down But Not Out: How American Slavery Survived the Constitutional Era
Creators: name: Butler, Jason
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Whether through legal assault, private manumissions or slave revolt, the institution of slavery weathered sustained and substantial blows throughout the era spanning the American Revolution and Constitutional Era. The tumult of the rebellion against the British, the inspiration of Enlightenment ideals and the evolution of the American economy combined to weaken slavery as the delegates converged on Philadelphia for the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Even in the South, it was not hard to find prominent individuals working, speaking or writing against slavery. During the Convention, however, Northern delegates capitulated to staunch Southern advocates of slavery not because of philosophical misgivings but because of economic considerations. Delegates from North and South looked with anticipation toward the nation?s expansion into the Southwest, confident it would occasion a slavery-based economic boom. Consequently, the institution of slavery was given room to thrive in ways that would take decades and a devastating war to overcome.
"Free Negroes" - The Development of Early English Jamaica and the Birth of Jamaican Maroon Consciousness, 1655-1670
Creators: name: Nichols, Patrick
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: The English conquest of Jamaica in 1655 was a turning point in the history of Atlantic World colonialism. Conquest displaced the Spanish colony and its subjects, some of who fled into the mountainous interior of Jamaica and assumed lives in isolation. This project reconstructs the historical experiences of the ?negro? populations of Spanish and English Jamaica, which included its ?free black?, ?mulattoes?, indigenous peoples, and others, and examines how English cosmopolitanism and distinct interactions laid the groundwork for and informed the syncretic identities and communities that emerged decades later. Upon the framework of English conquest within the West Indies, I explore the experiences of one such settlement alongside the early English colony of Jamaica to understand how a formal relationship materialized between the entities and how its course inflected the distinct socio-political identity and emergent political agency embodied by the Jamaican Maroons. To this end, this study reconceptualizes the social and political foundations of the ?negroes? who became the Jamaican Maroons removed from the teleology of the Maroon Wars and its resultant Treaty of 1738-1739.
Improved Data-Driven Building Daily Energy Consumption Prediction Models Based on Balance Point Temperature

Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2023

description: The data-driven models have been widely used in building energy analysis due to their outstanding performance. The input variables of the data-driven models are crucial for their predictive performance. Therefore, it is meaningful to explore the input variables that can improve the predictive performance, especially in the context of the global energy crisis. In this study, an algorithm for calculating the balance point temperature was proposed for an apartment community in Xiamen, China. It was found that the balance point temperature label (BPT label) can significantly improve the daily energy consumption prediction accuracy of five data-driven models (BPNN, SVR, RF, LASSO, and KNN). Feature importance analysis showed that the importance of the BPT label accounts for 25%. Among all input variables, the daily minimum temperature is the decisive factor that affects energy consumption, while the daily maximum temperature has little impact. In addition, this study also provides recommendations for selecting these model tools under different data conditions: when the input variable data is insufficient, KNN has the best predictive performance, while BPNN is the best model when the input data is sufficient.

Gwinnett County, Georgia, A Sunbelt Community: The Invention of a Postwar Suburb
Creators: name: Nikolich, Katheryn
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: The Sunbelt suburbs postwar rise changed the United States political narrative through coalitions and conclaves. Suburban scholars have traced the movement?s social ramifications through various lenses, including White Flight and Urban Renewal. However, suburbanization through a suburb?s viewpoint has remained unexplored. Gwinnett County, Georgia, is a southern suburb that transformed from a rural environment to a substantial political and economic power. Its trajectory is offset by about twenty years from the familiar pattern of suburbanization. Tracing its history raises several questions about United States suburbanization both in the chronology of postwar urban history and the historic dynamics that shaped it. Gwinnett County developed into a modern suburb about twenty years after World War II, so its social and political motivations followed a very different course to modernization. In spite of its delayed development, it became one of the largest suburbs in the south by the end of the twentieth century.
A Couple That Fights Together Stays Together: Romance, Marriage, And Divorce In British Home Front Films Of The Second World War
Creators: name: Kolan, Idit
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: The impact of total war on the British home front from 1939 to 1945 was profound. In particular, military and economic mobilization disrupted gender relations. Men and women of different class and national backgrounds encountered each other, sometimes forming romantic relationships that strained the institutions of marriage and family. This disruption was heavily depicted in wartime British cinema, especially in feature films devoted to the home front experience. Differences of class, gender, and nationality were downplayed in order to construct a solidaristic meaning for wartime social experience, fitting for ?the People?s War.? My thesis examines romantic relationships and marriages depicted in numerous British home front films. While many films featured unconventional couples of mixed class or nationality, they did not always offer happy endings. I argue that these films evince the problems of marriage in wartime Britain and foreshadow the rise in divorce that came with peace in 1945-46.
Suffragists With Suitcases: Women Advocacy Travelers of the Early Twentieth Century
Creators: name: Neary, Megan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: In this thesis I explore the global circulation and cross-cultural encounters of women advocacy travelers in the early twentieth century. I focus on Carrie Chapman Catt, Margaret Hodge, Mildred McFaden, and Madeleine Z. Doty, who journeyed around the world in order to advocate for women?s rights and peace. Catt traveled on behalf of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) to South Africa, the Middle East, and Asia in 1911-12, Hodge promoted women?s suffrage around the British dominions, and McFaden and other members of the American Woman?s Republic brought a resolution linking peace and women?s suffrage to the IWSA congress in Budapest in 1913. Doty made several journeys from the U.S. to Germany and Russia, as a dissident antiwar journalist during the First World War. Using their travel writings, I explore these women travelers, their encounters with women from other countries and cultures, and their ideas about internationalism and inclusion in the worldwide movement for women?s rights.
"That Sublime Mingling of Races:" Abolitionist Support for Interracial Marriage
Creators: name: Boyd, Charles
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis examines abolitionist support for interracial marriage. It demonstrates that far from being a marginal viewpoint within the movement, support for interracial marriage was widespread among both black and white abolitionists. Many abolitionists stated they personally did not recommend interracial marriage at present due to the backlash couples would face, while also denying that it was unnatural or immoral. A few abolitionists eschewed such a disclaimer. A few also married people of different races themselves. To a considerable extent, defense of interracial marriage was part of a larger push for racial integration and equality. This thesis also looks at British abolitionists who criticized the American stigma against interracial marriage, and children and grandchildren of abolitionists who defended interracial marriage, the most prominent being the famous, controversial lawyer, Clarence Darrow.
Dangling Damsels: The Gendered Nature of Executions at Tyburn, 1625-1685
Creators: name: Smith, Christine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Despite the vast research on early modern English criminology and execution practices, focus tends to gravitate towards the eighteenth-century due to the excessively high number of crimes punishable by death during that period. As a result, fewer historians have considered the nature of capital punishment during the seventeenth century, prior to the Bloody Code. Through a thorough analysis of various Tyburn execution pamphlets, as well as of a number of legal documents and popular literature, this study shows that, while eighteenth-century capital punishments sought to restore order according to the hierarchy of capitalism, the seventeenth century used public executions as a way of restoring order in a system dominated by Christian patriarchy. Thus, this study of the gendered nature of criminality and executions will extend the historical dialogue back into an earlier century when the shift between hierarchies of order was just beginning.
The Coast in Peril : Preserving Puerto Rico's Historic Resources from Sea Level Rise

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 0
Subjects: subject: Historic preservation -- Theses

description: Coastal historic resources in Puerto Rico are threatened by the deteriorating effects of sea level rise. A rise of one to two meters increases the risk of coastal flooding, erosion and storm surge for the Caribbean by the end of the century. Puerto Rico’s coastal development has been intense with a great number of historic resources located in the now susceptible shoreline. My research hypothesis is: “given the threat of sea level rise a great number of historic properties located close to the receding coastline will be at risk.” National Register of Historic Places listed properties are finite resources that will be affected consequently; efforts to preserve them require future adaptations to withstand the hazards. A prioritization system is required to evaluate and mitigate resource damage prompting my research question: What classification methods are essential to creating a prioritization system for resource adaptations to mitigate damage to the most important and resilient historic resources in the wake of sea level rise? Using the triage system as a conceptual framework, my research findings resulted in two lists that sort the threatened resources by priority according to risk, cultural value and current conditions to determine urgency for mitigation and adaptation. The triage system for coastal historic properties guides public and private organizations to assess in the most effective manner the resources in need of adaptation to withstand the effects of sea level rise. A significant amount of resources will be affected provoking the deterioration of resources and a community’s cultural identity if no planning occurs to mitigate damage. Three examples are evaluated for adaptation methods for resources in the towns of San Juan and Arecibo and the US Customs Houses thematic subject. Cultural and social benefits are used for priority assessments of coastal resources in Puerto Rico because they are critical to local livelihood. Educating the public needs to be part of the adaptation measures as historic resources are vital to cultural preservation for future generations. Government agencies, private organizations and the preservation community must encourage the creation of in-depth analysis of the resources for adaptation methods to be effective incorporating the findings of this study in future economic and disaster planning. The future of Puerto Rico’s built heritage may be lost to rising seas if nothing is done to preserve it now.
From Plow to Podium: Political Activity of Poor and Yeoman Women in Civil War Georgia
Creators: name: Wiley, Dawn
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Women in the Civil War era engendered new identities that directly opposed traditional female roles set forth by Southern society. Women belonging to the non-elite classes emerged out of the domestic sphere and became enmeshed in political life. This analysis evaluates the political life of white Georgia women of the poor and yeoman class during the Civil War in comparison to the conclusions set forth by Stephanie McCurry in Confederate Reckoning. An introduction of terms and class structures is followed by a discussion on how women impacted public policy in Georgia through writing government officials, petitioning, and rioting. A study of how women affected the rate of their husbands? desertions provides additional evidence that enriches the existing scholarship on women?s involvement in Civil War politics. The conclusion offers a brief insight into the lives of women after the Civil War and their conscious involvement in post-war public policy.

The Nature of the Union: The Evolution of Understandings about Government and Society Under the Early Continental Congresses, 1774-1776
Creators: name: Kubik, Tyler
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Understandings of the Founding Era have been under continuous debate since the American Revolution itself. Whether one examines the Articles of Confederation or the Continental Congresses, the successes, failures, and significance of each have been argued over since the beginning. By looking at American understandings of crucial ideas about government and society during the American Revolution, including the foundation of American rights, we can better come to terms with an understanding of American identity. These understandings evolved during the American Revolution, and their evolution can be examined through the resolutions, debates, correspondence, and diaries of members of Congress from the the First Continental Congress in 1774 to the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in July of 1776. The Declaration represented the synthesis of natural law thought with British constitutionalism that was forged out of the necessity of compromise during the lead up to war in 1774, the outbreak of hostilities in 1775, and the subsequent escalation into war shortly thereafter, exhibiting the importance of wartime exigencies in the evolution of American thought.
Carthaginian Casualties: The Socioeconomic Effects of the Losses Sustained in the First Punic War
Creators: name: Valiani, Laura
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis seeks to investigate the short- and long-term socio-economic impact of the First Punic War on Carthage and its people. It will do so by exploring three parts of the Carthaginian political and socio-economic system during the fourth through the second centuries BCE. The first is its navy, and specifically the costs ? in both material and man ? of its use. This will be the subject of the first chapter. The second analyses the additional expenditures which the war extracted from Carthage, such as the outlays to recruit, maintain, and provide for the land army. The final chapter focuses on the long-term ramifications of the war, which will be explored by means of an in-depth analysis of the last few battles of the First Punic War from an economic angle.
"The Powerful Sap of the Nation": Property, Comunidades, and National Identity in Peruvian Indigenismo in the 1920s
Creators: name: Garcia, Gabriel
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Indigenismo has often been associated with leftist figures like Jos‚ Carlos Mari tegui and V¡ctor Haya de la Torre. The association of the movement with leftist intellectuals and political activists has created an image of indigenismo as a mostly left-leaning movement. However, this study argues that a significant number of indigenistas believed in the liberal idea of private property ownership as the solution to the Indian problem. They also believed in the importance of education as a mechanism that would help integrate indigenous people into Peruvian society by teaching them reading and writing, civics, history, and technical skills. Indigenistas also sought to make indigenous culture the central element of Peru?s national culture and identity. This cultural project, however, did not imply the substitution of the Hispanic heritage with the indigenous heritage. Instead, most indigenistas sought the inclusion of indigenous cultural expressions as the principal component of Peruvian culture.

Which East is Red? The Maoist Presence in the Soviet Union and Soviet Bloc Europe 1956-1980
Creators: name: Smith, Andrew
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: "Which East is Red"? is a study of the little-known ?anti-revisionist? currents within the Soviet Bloc in the wake of the Sino-Soviet Split, particularly those which described themselves as Maoists. This study primarily concentrates on the Maoist wind that blew through the USSR and Eastern Europe during the 1960s, when the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in China generated anti-revisionist storms around the globe. It also discusses the effects of the Cultural Revolution on diplomacy in the socialist Second World. Finally, this thesis challenges mainstream academic studies of Marxism and dissent in the Soviet Bloc, which presents a false dichotomy of dissidence within the region: a false dichotomy, that is, between those who embraced liberal democracy of the West versus the Kremlin?s official version of Marxism-Leninism. In short, a new historiography of dissident movements in the USSR and Eastern Europe during the Cold War must include the Maoist, communist opposition.

description: Heavy metals and metalloids (HMs) are environmental pollutants, most notably cadmium, lead, arsenic, mercury, and chromium. When HMs accumulate to toxic levels in agricultural soils, these non-biodegradable elements adversely affect crop health and productivity. The toxicity of HMs on crops depends upon factors including crop type, growth condition, and developmental stage; nature of toxicity of the specific elements involved; soil physical and chemical properties; occurrence and bioavailability of HM ions in the soil solution; and soil rhizosphere chemistry. HMs can disrupt the normal structure and function of cellular components and impede various metabolic and developmental processes. This review evaluates: (1) HM contamination in arable lands through agricultural practices, particularly due to chemical fertilizers, pesticides, livestock manures and compost, sewage-sludge-based biosolids, and irrigation; (2) factors affecting the bioavailability of HM elements in the soil solution, and their absorption, translocation, and bioaccumulation in crop plants; (3) mechanisms by which HM elements directly interfere with the physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes in plants, with particular emphasis on the generation of oxidative stress, the inhibition of photosynthetic phosphorylation, enzyme/protein inactivation, genetic modifications, and hormonal deregulation, and indirectly through the inhibition of soil microbial growth, proliferation, and diversity; and (4) visual symptoms of highly toxic non-essential HM elements in plants, with an emphasis on crop plants. Finally, suggestions and recommendations are made to minimize crop losses from suspected HM contamination in agricultural soils.
The Faraway Elsewhere: Exploring Soviet Youth Culture and Escapism in Soviet Science Fiction Film and Electronic Music
Creators: name: Stanton, Sigrid
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: In the Soviet Union, the Cold War space race created propaganda that contributed heavily to the mythologizing of outer space. This mythologizing of space was designed to bolster the political and scientific aims of the USSR; culturally, however, it had the opposite effect on citizens by offering futurism through science fiction media as an escape from the regime. Many Soviet youths, particularly those who came of age during the Brezhnev era, were disillusioned with communism. They sought a sense of identity and an escape from political ideology, and were drawn to subcultures centered around music, literature, and fashion among other things, as an escape from the present. In the same way that Soviet youth who were drawn to Western trends and envisioned an idealized West as a refuge from everyday life, I argue that science fiction films and electronic music also provided an escape from the present to youth.
Walking With the Whirlwind of Change: Adrian Dominican Sisters and American Society in Transition, 1960-2017
Creators: name: Milone, Louise
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis examines a group of Adrian Dominican sisters ? how they maintained equilibrium through life transforming change wrought by Vatican II by engaging in a process of deep, long-term discernment. They are once again facing massive change. Their average age is 80, with as many as four sisters dying every month. Few new sisters are coming in, almost all of whom are women of color and born outside of the US. The sisters see a bright future in this demographic change. Through their history, their experiences of transformation track those of our society. Yet, they have managed change much differently. Through intense work, engaging in years of reflection on values, needs and desires, relying on each other for support, they have successfully transformed their lives and congregation. What can they teach us about coping with change? What can we learn from their process and from their outcomes, productive or dislocating?
Onesimos Nasib and the Macaafa Qulqulluu: Language, Religion, and Culture in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Key, Ethan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: Language and religion are essential components of cultural identity. Cultural identity both reinforces and subverts the dominant paradigm. An alliance of Church and State in Ethiopia reinforced Abyssinian imperial political, economic, and military domination with linguistic, religious, and cultural hegemony. The Abyssinians are the Amhara and Tigrayan people, who speak related Semitic languages and follow Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity. As the Abyssinians created the modern Ethiopian empire, they dominated the Ethiopian political landscape since the 1880s. Onesimos Nasib?s life serves as a case study, allowing this thesis to explore these themes of how culture can reinforce or undermine state authority. Enslaved as a child, Onesimos? life reveals how cultural perceptions justified exploitation in the Abyssinian Empire. After his freedom and baptism into the Protestant Christian faith, Onesimos? work as a missionary, translator, and teacher reveals how language, culture, and religion can help edify an exploited group while challenging the sources of that exploitation. This thesis emphasizes the significance of Oromo literature, education, and the adoption of Protestant Christianity in Wallaga region in Western Ethiopia during the early twentieth century as a means of preserving Oromo language, culture, and beliefs.
The Changing Role of Elite Southern Women in the Lower South (1830-1900)
Creators: name: Fahey, Mary
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: The topic of the American Civil War is one that has long been studied by historians. This thesis looks to the often forgotten home front and explores the dynamic changes the elite women of the Lower South faced from the antebellum to the post bellum era. Through the exploration of diaries, journals, memoirs, and newspapers from the mid to late nineteenth century, the changing roles and responsibilities of the elite women during this time period are further explored. The stories of the elite women add to the overall history of the nineteenth century Lower South and allow the reader to understand these women through a different lens. While considered wealthy and unaffected by the Civil War, the primary accounts of these women illustrate just how much their lives were changed because of the war and how they continued to change once the war was over.

The system they created is commonly referred to as ?mercantilism? and many historians have concluded that there was a consensus among economists that supported the balance of trade and restricted foreign markets. While that economic consensus existed, merchants also had to adopt new ways of thinking about religion, foreigners, and naturalization because of the system they created. Merchants like Josiah Child in the latter part of the seventeenth century were more acceptant of strangers and they were more tolerant of religion that their predecessors of the 1620s. An unintended diversity arose from the Navigation Acts and other legislation that sought to restrict trade.
Institutions and Interactions: Shanghai Jewish Refugees and American Jewish Communities, 1930s-1940s
Creators: name: Tucker, Anna
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: This study looks at the community of Shanghai Jews in its diversity, 1930s-1940s, then at its interactions in 1949 with the American Jewish communities of Atlanta and New York as Shanghai Jews were transported across the United States in sealed trains. This exploration supports the argument that Shanghai Jewish refugees and American Jewish communities existed in an interdependent relationship at the close of the 1940s. Through an exploration of individual and institutional interactions in Shanghai, Atlanta, and New York, with an emphasis on media, this study questions what these interactions tell us?and do not tell us?about both the host and refugee communities.
A Transpacific Peace Movement: Encounters Between American and Japanese Peace Advocates 1889-1919
Creators: name: Giere-Frye, Wendy
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis explores the making of a transpacific peace movement linking peace advocates in Japan and the United States in the early twentieth century.  It is based on research in the peace history collections in the archives of Haverford College and Swarthmore College as well as the American Peace Society?s Advocate of Peace and other published primary sources.  After tracing the development of a transatlantic peace movement in the nineteenth century and noting signs of a broadening of the pacifist outlook in such texts as Benjamin F. Trueblood?s The Federation of the World (1899), the thesis examines the work of American peace missionaries John Hyde DeForest and Gilbert Bowles in Japan in the early twentieth century.  DeForest and Bowles supported the organization of peace advocates in Japan and opposed the agitation of anti-Japanese xenophobes in the U.S.  Finally, the thesis reconstructs the life and advocacy of Seichi Emerson Ikemoto, a Japanese student and orator living in the U.S.  He traveled and spoke widely in favor of peace and understanding between Japan and the U.S. as well as corresponded regularly with the American Peace Society secretary Benjamin F. Trueblood.  In highlighting the cross-cultural exchange between these peace advocates and the challenge they offered to rising U.S.-Japan rivalry, the thesis contributes to a more global account of peace history before the First World War.

The Confederacy’s “Hardest Hitter”: Reevaluating James Longstreet’s Civil War Record on the Tactical Offensive
Creators: name: Callaway, Joseph
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: James Longstreet is most often remembered by scholars of the Civil War and Civil War hobbyists as a general who favored defensive tactics over offensive ones and generally loathed launching large-scale assaults. This thesis argues that this common perception is incompatible with the facts gleanable from a close inspection of Longstreet?s war record. By tracing the preparation, execution, and accomplishments of his four largest-scale assaults during the Civil War, I seek to reposition Longstreet in Civil War historiography as the most innovative, creative, and ultimately successful subordinate commander in terms of assuming the tactical offensive.
Investigations on the presence and behavior of precursors to perfluoroalkyl substances in the environment as a preparation of regulatory measures

description: Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been identified as a significant pathway for the introduction of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) to natural waters. It was observed in several studies that the concentration of certain PFASs were higher in the WWTP effluent compared to the corresponding influent. The objective of the present study was the identification of potential precursor substances of persistent perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in WWTPs and indoor rooms in order to support the preparation of regulatory measures.
The House by the Side of the Road: A History of the Andrew P. Stewart Center
Creators: name: McDonald, Megan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: The Andrew P. Stewart Center was founded by a group of Southern Baptist women in 1916 as the ?Andrew Stewart Day Nursery.? Members of the Baptist Women?s Missionary Union, these women sought to alleviate the impoverished conditions facing children and families living in the English Avenue community of Atlanta. The organization survived ten decades of dramatic social change, and currently operates in the Pittsburgh neighborhood. This thesis chronicles the Stewart Center?s evolution over the course of the past century, reflecting on larger patterns of Atlanta?s history while also highlighting the unique responses of an organization largely led by female, Southern Baptist missionaries and volunteers. Racial transitions feature prominently in the Center?s evolution: neighborhood white flight and school desegregation played a pivotal role in the organization?s geographic location and interpretation of purpose.
A History of Boundaries: Redefining the Bordering Process
Creators: name: Le, Cuong
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Societies throughout time and space have shaped their interactions with each other and their environments by forming boundaries. The function of boundaries, constructed through the process of bordering shape whether boundaries exhibit monologic or dialogic qualities. Boundaries expressed as enacted or discursive depending on their relations with others. Current scholarships use boundaries and bordering inconsistently, or as simplified monoliths. In order to overcome imprecise definitions, the study tests a set of theories by Denis Cosgrove, Etienne Balibar, Erin Williams, Harvey Starr, and G. Dale Thomas about geographic knowledge, periphery, and proximity. The theories are challenged or confirmed through analyzing their relevance found in the writings of historians, philosophers, and explorers found in ancient history, eighteenth century, and twentieth century. The study establishes boundaries and bordering as possible units of analysis using theory sets for historians that reveal how societies project and shape their identities across space and time.
Envisioning An Imperial Outpost: The Colonial City And Naval Base of Singapore In Anglo-American Travel And World Affairs Writing, 1900-1942
Creators: name: Mejia, Eduardo
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis analyzes and compares depictions of Singapore and British Malaya from the turn of the twentieth century to 1942, the year the colonial city and naval base fell to Japanese forces. While many studies have looked forward to decolonization after the fall of Singapore, this study looks back to the crucial decades before the Second World War. The primary sources for the study are selected articles and books by American and British journalists, travel writers, and world-affairs observers. These sources show a gradual shift in focus from Singapore as a thriving commercial hub and culturally diverse colonial city to a strategic naval base. The British, the Australians, the Dutch, and the Americans seemed to pin their hopes on the base as a counter to the rise of Japan. As the situation worsened before the end of 1941, the sources indicate the beginnings of a transition from British to American hegemony in Asia Pacific.
The Fall from 'Their Ancient Dignities': How the Old English Became Irish from the Viewpoint of England
Creators: name: Beene, Katharine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis examines the struggle of the Old English to maintain their control in Ireland during an increasingly chaotic period.  To understand this struggle for control this thesis examines the relationship between the English in England and the demographic groups in Ireland in the context of a rapidly changing society.  Between the years of 1625 and 1660 the Old English lost control in Ireland and ceased to exist as a separate identity group.  The English in England and the New English had a clear advantage in the fight for power and influence.  In the end we see that the Old English, in their quest to maintain control and other themselves from the Gaelic Irish, created the language of their own demise.  Once stereotypical language was created by the Old English elite it was utilized by the New English Protestants to justify the violence and reform movements of the 1650s.
Deeds Against Nature: Gender And Disorder In Print, 1590-1700
Creators: name: Grimes, Leslie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: This thesis examines the depiction of gender and disorder in popular print. The source material for this study is comprised of broadsides, pamphlets, and ballads published in England during the seventeenth century. Using these sources as evidence, this article explores the authorial intent which influenced the publication of crime narratives, as well as the ways in which these narratives are indicative of changes in the perception of gender and order in society. The main contention of this thesis is that challenges to the monarchy?s authority in print before and after the English Civil War enabled the writers of popular print to challenge patriarchal authority in the common household as well. It specifically focuses on the depiction in print of disorder between husbands and wives.
