description: In our project we will establish a system-wide work group in the development and application of adaptive optics in biological imaging. The University of California is currently the world leader in the application of adaptive optics for astronomical imaging and has done pioneering work to translate this technology into the new field of adaptive optics for biological imaging. The intent of our proposed two-year planning award will be to apply cutting edge adaptive optic technology, developed at UC Santa Cruz, to new interdisciplinary collaborations across the UC System. The award will enhance the ability of this new multi-campus collaboration to successfully compete for extramural funding in the application of adaptive optics for biological imaging. An example would be a National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) Biomedical Technology Resource Center (BTRC). The activities will include demonstrations of the impact and benefit for the application of adaptive optics in imaging of specimens from the collaborator’s labs to advance UC’s research mission and enterprise. Specifically, we will work with each campus and national laboratory over the course of the two-year proposal to demonstrate the benefits of using adaptive optics on the participant’s samples. A project scientist will image their samples with existing AO microscopes (wide-field, confocal and two-photon). We will also development a community of practice through education and training of graduate students and post-docs in courses and internships and we will hold annual summer retreats for all of the participants. One outcome of our project will be new imaging data sets that can be shared across the UC campuses to enhance novel research or launch new research directions. The data sets will be used as preliminary data for future extramural applications. A second outcome will be to determine a model for how adaptive optical microscopy can be implemented within the UC system (central imaging facility or central technology resource center).

An investigation of a causal model of depression in Black single mothers
Creators: name: Atkins, Rahshida
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: he purpose of this study was to develop and test a theory of depression via   causal modeling.  The apriori over-identified causal model included the exogenous     variables of perceived racism and perceived stress and the endogenous variables of anger,     self-esteem, and depression.  This research also tested the direct and indirect effects of     ten hypothesized relationships according to the pattern of causation specified in the     model.       The final sample consisted of 208 Black single mothers aged 18 to 45, who met     the inclusion/exclusion criteria for the study.  The participants responded to the Centers     for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the     Spielberger State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory, the Perceived Ethnic Discrimination     Questionnaire Community Version Brief and the Perceived Stress Scale.     The over-identified recursive causal model was tested using the LISREL 9.1     computer program.  Maximum likelihood chi-square estimation was used to determine     the overall fit of the model with the data, along with a variety of fit indices.  Beta and     gamma path coefficients were examined for their direct and indirect effects for ten     hypothesized relationships.  The findings indicated that there was an excellent fit of the     hypothesized model with the data  (X2(1, N = 208) = .05, p = .82).  The chi-square was     not statistically significant and the probability was large.  The fit indices for the model   were excellent.  Beta and Gamma path coefficients were statistically significant for 9 out     of 10 hypothesized relationships within the model (p < .001 to p  .05).       Based on the chi-square, probability level, and the fit indices, there was an     excellent fit of the model with the data; there were no specification errors in the model.      The relationships of perceived stress, perceived racism, self-esteem, and anger to     depression, according to the pattern of causation specified in the model, provide an     excellent explanation of depression in Black single mothers.  There is no direct causal     link between self-esteem and depression in the model.
Inclusive Fitness Theory

description: For nearly 50 years, Inclusive Fitness Theory has provided researchers an avenue to understand altruistic interactions among individuals in a colony. It has recently come under fire by prominent academics suggesting it is unsatisfactory in describing altruism. This thesis aims to provide a history of inclusive fitness theory and dissect the arguments against the theory and in favor of it. Using scientific research articles from such publications as Nature and Science, I have collected information on the history of Inclusive Fitness Theory and the development of the theory over time. Furthermore, this thesis will also delve into the methods of testing Inclusive Fitness Theory as well as fields that have arisen due to the theory. Ultimately, using arguments made by opponents and proponents to the theory, conclusions will be drawn about the validity of the theory. While the arguments against the theory seem sound, they ultimately fail to provide alternative insights into the development of altruism in colonies, and moreover these arguments are successfully refuted by leaders in the field.
De Vita et scriptis sancti Jacobi, Batnarum Sarugi in Mesopotamia Episcopi
Creators: name: Abbeloos, Jean Baptiste
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1867

description: This volume contains the dissertation (Catholic University of Louvain) of the Belgian scholar J. B. Abbeloos, who would later be known, at least among Syriac scholars, as co-editor and translator (with Lamy) of Barhebraeus’ Chronicon Ecclesiasticum. Here he studies the life and works of Jacob of Sarug. After a look at Syriac literature prior to Jacob, Abbeloos turns, in the biographical section to examine the sources and covers the time and place in which Jacob lived, as well as his episcopate. The major section of the book deals with Jacob’s thought, as taken from his writings. Naturally, there are many quotations (in Syriac with Latin translation) from his homilies. Abbeloos looks at, among other things, Jacob’s views on the Trinity, creation, original sin, the future life, the Eucharist, and the Incarnation, etc. The book concludes with two appendices: one on Syriac meter and poetry, and a short Syriac text on Jacob’s life (with Latin translation). There is also a short glossary of Syriac words missing from Castell’s Lexicon. This thorough treatment of the life and thought of one of Syriac literature’s most important figures will be of interest to every serious student of Syriac literature and eastern Christianity.

Hearing Pronouns Primes Speakers to Use Pronouns
Creators: name: Arnold, Jennifer E.
Publisher: name: MIT Press
Year: 2025

description:
Speaking requires frequent decisions about how to refer, for example whether to use a pronoun (she) or a name (Ana). It is well known that this choice is guided by the discourse context, but little is known about the representations that are activated. We use priming to test whether this choice can be facilitated through recent exposure, and if so, what representations are activated. In a storytelling task, participants take turns with experimenters telling a story that is illustrated in 2-panel cartoons. The first sentence is given, and participants describe the second panel in their own words. We manipulate whether the experimenter used a pronoun or name in the prior story. Experiment 1 provides the first evidence in the literature that reference form choice can be primed, and that it is not dependent on the syntactic position of the antecedent. However, the effect is not finely tuned to the preceding prime. Instead, exposure at the start of the experiment persists throughout, even when the prime changes. Experiments 2 and 3 further show that exposure to pronoun primes result in greater pronoun use than at baseline, but that there is no sensitivity to the prime on the most recent trial. Results argue against a role for production facilitation in pronoun use, which suggests that reference production is not impacted by production efficiency.
Airpower and the hawk/ dove dynamic in American politics
Creators: name: Arndt, Thomas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation chronicles the role of airpower as a focal point in the evolution of the hawk vs. dove dynamic in American politics. It accounts for the relationship between changes in the viability of aerial weapons technologies and the general commitment of elected officials to expand or restrict the standing and use of hard power as a foreign policy tool. By comparing and contrasting the aftermath of two main paradigms of conflict -- the post-Vietnam era and the post-9/11 era -- it shows how disagreement over the size, scope, and role of the nation’s armed forces has changed amid the introduction of airpower technologies that have in many cases been developed to mitigate the increasing level of conflict asymmetry witnessed by the transition from one strategic threat environment to the next. Accordingly, the analysis follows a basic chronology of comparative case study: first it examines the waning years of the Vietnam War through to the years following its conclusion, establishing a baseline for the character of the hawk/ dove dynamic amid a mindset of mostly conventional conflict before proceeding to the post-9/11 era, evaluating how trends in the hawk/ dove debate have shifted in an age of extreme asymmetry and non-linear battlefields. The lion’s share of the research analyzes legislative voting data on the U.S. Congress from 1964-2012 to visually chart how the hawk/ dove dynamic has fluctuated over time in terms of its intensity, primary focal point(s), and the balance of the dynamic. Seven litmus tests are identified as individual moving parts: 1) airpower policy, 2) defense spending in general, 3) (de)escalation of conflict, 4) foreign military aid, 5) WMD policy, 6) war powers/ inter-branch relations, and &) NASA support as part of air and space power. Providing a quantitative basis for analysis, the findings are revealed along with contextual points of interest found in the public communication of key intellectual leaders (including those in the executive branch). Taken together, the research offers a comprehensive view into the evolving debate over peace and war in an age of rapidly-advancing airpower systems used in increasingly asymmetrical conflict.

description: Jazz music and spoken poetry evoke the aurality of the moment. They cannot be rewound, or redone the way we can re-read a poem or rehearse a piece of music. The poem, in its form on the page, is not the purpose of this examination. Between 195& and 1959, there was a movement to synthesize live jazz with spoken poetry, in turn creating a new art form. This thesis seeks to expose, examine and analyze the simultaneous synthesis of spoken poetry and performed music.    The literary world often defines “jazz poetry” as poetry influenced by jazz music or a poem containing jazz’s historical themes. On the musical side of the spectrum, performers and composers can also convey poetic or literary devices within sonic space. These can be as obvious as inserting a humorous quote like “pop goes the weasel” into an improvised solo. Where as literary scholars have focused on the broad responses to jazz as poetic inspiration, my study will shine light on how the jazz musician relates and responds to the poet and performance.     Chapter 1: A History of Jazz/Poetry reveals individual narratives of two separate but connected scenes, one in San Francisco and the other New York City. I compile commentary and timeline information of selected collaborations using cited live performances and recording sessions as pinpoints. Chapter 2: Recordings and Analysis relies on transcription of spoken voice against solo instrumental accompaniment. I take a uniform approach to analyzing jazz/poetry recordings by adopting my own system of labeling based on musical responses to poetry. Chapter 2 also tells the story of my trip to Calabasas, California to visit and recover original, handwritten scores by Allyn Ferguson for his jazz/poetry album with poet Kenneth Patchen. Analyzing the poet’s level of interaction with music as the springboard, we can (choose to) listen to jazz/poetry recordings with bigger ears. Chapter 3: Interviews is centered on two interviews: pianist/composer Vijay Iyer and poet/producer Mike Ladd. Chapter 3 also contains excerpts from various interviews I have conducted since I first began researching jazz/poetry in May 2010.

description: Breast cancer can be considered a defect in patterning of the breast. Unlike normal breast cells which are organized in spherical structures designed to secrete milk into a central opening or lumen, breast cancers are disorganized, lack this spheriodal pattern and instead begin to invade into the adjacent tissue. More recently it has been recognized that in order for these disorganized tumor cells to survive and eventually spread or metastasize, they must somehow entice new blood vessels to form nearby to supply blood carrying oxygen and essential nutrients. What has remained a mystery however, is why tumor cells and not normal breast epithelial cells are capable of inducing the new blood vessels to form.

 Our central hypothesis is that the loss of the breast tissue organization observed early in tumor development acts as the trigger to allow breast epithelial cells to begin producing factors required for stimulating new blood vessels to appear. However, if the tumorigenic breast cells can be experimentally manipulated to resume a normal breast tissue organization, this will also prevent recruitment of new blood vessels and therefore limit the potential for growth and metastatic spread of the tumor.

 We will use a tissue culture model which allows normal breast cells to form three-dimensional spheriodal structures by providing a recombinant basement membrane (rBM), which they normally would attach to in the human breast. We can then compare organized normal cells with the disorganized cells which are not provided with rBM. Although tumor cells do not form organized structures when given the rBM, we can force them to form organized colonies, by blocking excess cell surface receptors with monoclonal antibodies. We can therefore compare the potential of organized/disorganized pre-malignant l and tumor cells to be able to induce new blood vessels and impact tumor progression and growth.

 Although increased metabolic demand of tumor cells can trigger the production of factors which act to bring new blood vessels to the tumor mass, it seems likely that earlier events including loss of tissue organization also acts to turn on these programs even before there is an obvious expansion and increased demand by larger tumor masses. This may indicate that anti-angiogenic treatment could be considered for use as an early preventative measure to stop tumor cell expansion.

description: Encephalitis and meningitis are devastating central nervous system diseases associated with significant morbidity and mortality, but for which the cause is often unknown. In the California Encephalitis Project, a 10-year statewide project to identify all causes of acute encephalitis in California, over 63% of cases remained undiagnosed despite extensive laboratory testing. Previously, we have pioneered the development of novel diagnostic technologies to comprehensively identify pathogens in clinical samples. These include (1) Virochip (University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA), a microarray-based tool which detects all known as well as novel viruses and was originally used to discover the SARS coronavirus, (2) PLEX-ID (IBIS Biosciences, Carlsbad, CA), a mass spectrometry-based instrument for simultaneous detection of viruses and bacteria, and (3) deep sequencing, a method of identifying pathogens by analysis of millions of DNA sequences derived directly from clinical samples. Here we propose to combine these three state-of-the-art technologies to comprehensively diagnose viral causes of encephalitis / meningitis in California. We will analyze cerebrospinal fluid from affected patients for both known and novel viruses, and evaluate the diagnostic performance of these technologies relative to conventional laboratory testing. A major goal of this study is to assess the utility of Virochip and PLEX-ID as broad-based screening tools for viruses in acute illnesses such as encephalitis / meningitis, with clinical, public health, and commercial implications. Discovery of novel viruses associated with encephalitis / meningitis will also promote further research into the pathogenicity and epidemiology of these infectious agents.

description: The goal of the project is to develop, and experimentally test, novel advanced control and optimization techniques applicable to a broad range of technologies, including light source systems such as the ones built by Cymer, Inc., for advanced photolithography applications in silicon chip manufacturing. The leading-edge photolithography light source systems developed by Cymer, coupled with the extensive expertise of the Center for Control Systems and Dynamics faculty at UCSD, provides an ideal academic and technological environment in which to advance and improve the quality and yield of manufacturing processes in silicon-based photolithography. Advances in photolithography light sources enable concomitant advances in semiconductor devices that have an impact on the lives of hundreds of millions of people throughout the entire world every day. Semiconductor technology is a genuine California endeavor. California drives the consumer electronics space, which is the largest influencer of the semiconductor supply chain. From the breakthrough semiconductor technology advancements in Silicon Valley to the world leading supplier of photolithography light sources in San Diego, the proposed research leverages California resources to produce research that will have a lasting impact on the California economy. Control and optimization technologies play an increasingly important role in the development of high performance photolithography light source systems. The proposed research will help to maintain California's leadership in Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) systems, the current standard, and position California well for international leadership on next-generation Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) light sources, which are expected to largely replace DUV technology within the next five years. The focus of this research is on the development of algorithms that are expected to improve the performance and reliability of existing DUV light source systems, as well as to provide essential enabling technology during the ongoing development of next-generation EUV light source systems. By working closely with Cymer, which will provide matching funds and unfettered access to real world problems in the photolithography light source industry, the results of the current research are expected to be transferred extremely rapidly from the University to industry.

Why they served

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: This paper expands upon theories presented by John A. Lynn in Bayonets of the Republic and James McPherson in For Cause and Comrades, which focus on soldiers’ initial, sustaining, and combat motivations. These authors argue that a soldier’s motivations can be divided into categories focusing on why the soldier enlisted, why they continued to serve, and the choice to engage in combat. Previous authors have created a general study of soldiers, and this trend is slowly being applied to Civil War soldiers. For my discussion, I have narrowed the focus to Civil War soldiers in New Jersey while still maintaining the overall framework set forth by Lynn and McPherson. In doing so I hope to expand the narrative and produce a more inclusive discussion of motivations. Specifically I investigate the cornerstones of the motivation discussion: the cause and comrades, while also making the critical inclusions of economics, personal interest, religion, and a desire for adventure.    To explore these motivational influences I grounded my research in the writings, predominantly letters, of Civil War soldiers. Supplementing this is other contemporary sources such as newspapers, the 1860 census, and the New Jersey Adjutant-General’s report, among others. Using these sources, supplemented by modern historical works, I have provided a more comprehensive overview of Civil War soldiers in New Jersey.    By localizing my discussion in New Jersey, I have produced a somewhat different result compared to the more generalized histories. While the cause and comrades feature prominently in a New Jersey soldier’s motivations, economics and personal gain also have a strong influence. In addition, a desire for adventure and religion also play a subordinate role. Perhaps the most interesting result is the strange relationship with slavery within the state. Many soldiers seem to have been indifferent towards the issues of slavery and emancipation, yet there is also evidence that others were willing to serve in the U.S.C.T. alongside Black soldiers. My research shows a complexity of motivations influence the Civil War soldier, all of which played a role in their decision-making. This research clearly shows that there is a strong need for a more complex and detailed discussion of Civil War soldiers.
Photocatalytic and photochemical reactions of naturally occurring phenolic compounds of lignin origin

description: This research focuses on photocatalytic and photochemical reactions of naturally occurring phenolic compounds of lignin origin in non-water solvents. The purpose of this research is to determine platform molecules from lignin that can make usable products via photoreactions. The specific goals of the research are to determine molecular reaction networks of organic phenolic compounds from lignin (isoeugenol, eugenol and vanillin) in solution, under: 1) heterogeneous photocatalytic oxidation; 2) photochemical oxidation. Other specific goals are to study the dependence of the yield of photochemical oxidation upon the pressure of oxygen, and upon the non-water solvent used.   Photocatalytic oxidation reactions were tested using UV-Vis light, oxygen, and titanium dioxide as the heterogeneous photocatalyst, whereas photochemical oxidation reactions utilized UV-Vis light and oxygen only. In order to monitor the progress of reactions, chemical analysis such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used. To identify molecular products, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) and with mass-spectrometric detection (HPLC-MS) was used.    It was determined that under heterogeneous photocatalytic oxidation, the typical phenolic compound from lignin, isoeugenol with an internal C=C bond is much more reactive than its isomer eugenol with a terminal C=C bond. With oxygen from air, in solution under UV and visible light (λ ≥ 254 nm) in the presence of TiO2 Degussa P25 photocatalyst, isoeugenol yields two major photooxidation products: vanillin and dehydrodiisoeugenol (DHDIE). Under the same conditions, but under near-UV and visible light (λ ≥ 355 nm), the yields of these products were lower.   Under photochemical oxidation in several non-water solvents, isoeugenol produces different yields of DHDIE, as compared to photocatalytic oxidation. Specifically, with oxygen from air and in non-water solution under near-UV and visible light (λ ≥ 355 nm), isoeugenol produced the highest yield of DHDIE when dimethyl sulfoxide is used as solvent. A typical phenolic compound from lignin with a C=O group, vanillin undergoes photochemical oxidative polymerization in a non-water solvent, using near-UV and visible light (λ ≥ 355 nm), at approximately 100 psi oxygen to produce a solid powder of “polyvanillin”.

description: The UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC) proposes the Herbert F. York Global Security Fellowship Program. Named in honor of IGCC’s founder, the program will train national and international security researchers and policy leaders who are able to bridge the divides between the academic, technical, and policy worlds. The program will reinforce ties between the Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories and UC graduate students and faculty through the joint training and mentoring of global security Ph.D. fellows. York Fellowships will be awarded to Ph.D. students in the social sciences and humanities for dissertation research on topics of critical importance to global security. It will support students undertaking cutting-edge research in the priority global security research areas of the national laboratories including nuclear nonproliferation, cybersecurity, terrorism, biosecurity, regional and great power relations, energy and environmental security, homeland security, defense, and nontraditional and emerging security. Selected through a UC-wide competition, the one-year fellowships will be open to 15 students per year, with two of them based at the UC Washington Center. LLNL and LANL will host an annual symposium for the fellows and their faculty advisors, alternating the site between the two labs. IGCC will assign mentors to the York Fellows from the laboratories. The fellows will benefit from the laboratory experts’ insights into the technical dimensions of the problems the students are studying, receive advice about career opportunities beyond university campuses, and obtain the tools and connections to turn their research into sound national security policy guidance.

description: The aim of this project is to establish a strong research and educational collaboration between the LANL and UCD dedicated to provide comprehensive background for the development of nanomaterials capable of withstanding intense radiation damage, and educate graduate students to become future professionals in this strategic field. The scientific goal is to understand the role of grain boundary (GB) structure and energetics on the radiation tolerance of nanomaterials. Both dependence of the crystalline tolerance of the material on the GB properties and the effects of GB structure on the mechanical strength (by in-situ TEM analysis) will be addressed, in order to build a comprehensive picture linking each other. CeO2 will be used as a model material to develop the concepts. Two graduate students will be educated in this initiative by developing the experimental plan, in which nanograined CeO2 will be produced at UCD using Spark Plasma Sintering and their GB structure and energetics characterized by HRTEM and calorimetry, respectively. The project will then allow the students to use the unique experimental capabilities and benefit with the experience at LANL to carry out ion-irradiation experiments. In addition, LANL’s expertise in Accelerated Molecular Dynamics calculations will provide key insights into the interaction of dislocation motion with other microstructural defects generated during ion irradiation. The results will be correlated with in-situ mechanical strength analysis by TEM at UCD and atmospheric in situ hot stage TEM analysis at LANL, directly examining defect motion and stability under extremes. The educational component at UCD will include workshops on nanomaterials processing and radiation effects on materials, as well as specialized graduate level courses with guest speakers from LANL. This proposed research initiative will be a seed project to develop further strategic collaborations between LANL and UCD to leverage future funding opportunities.

description: The recent demonstration of spin transport in silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) up to room temperature holds potential for greatly enhanced functionality in modern electronics by utilizing the electron’s spin to carry information. This collaborative project will push the frontier of Si-Ge spintronics by addressing two critical needs: (1) synthesis of advanced materials and heterostructures (multilayers), (2) development of optical methods for creating and detecting spin in Si and Ge. Advances in these basic science issues could lead to faster computers that use less energy. First, we will utilize molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for the atom-by-atom growth of thin film heterostructures consisting of semiconductor layers (Si, Ge, Si-Ge alloys), ferromagnetic layers, and oxide tunnel barrier layers. Currently, studies of spin transport in Si and Ge are limited by poorly controlled interfaces. The development of unique, high quality MBE heterostructures will enable groundbreaking research and highly systematic studies to advance the field. Second, we will develop optical techniques to create and detect spin-polarized electrons in Si and Ge heterostructures and alloys. While this is very challenging due to the indirect bandgap (poor for optics), the payoff will be to develop important new insights into spin-dependent phenomena in Si and Ge, such as spin dynamics and interfacial spin interactions. In this strongly integrated collaboration, material synthesis will be performed in Kawakami’s lab (UCR) and the optical experiments will be performed in Crooker’s lab (LANL). LANL postdoc Yan Li (UCR graduate) will develop the optics and UCR graduate student Pat Odenthal will develop the materials and devices. Odenthal will also work at LANL (6 months per year) to participate in the optical experiments and to take advantage of CINT facilities for x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and nanofabrication. This project will advance the UCR and LANL missions and promote graduate training and engagement.

title: Oscar Wilde's queer afterlives: sexuality in post- and neo-Victorian Wildeana
Creators: name: Markovic, Ana
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Oscar Wilde, Wildeana, sex, gender, sexuality, queer history, neo-Victorianism.

description: Since his death in 1900, Oscar Wilde and his characters have featured in hundreds of novels, short stories, plays and films. At the same time, in the English and American sociocultural contexts in which these revisions circulate, there have been significant shifts in the understanding of sex, gender and sexuality. This thesis asks how post-1900 English and American Wildeana portrays and politicises Wilde’s sexuality. The examples of Wildeana analysed in this thesis were produced in a wide post-Victorian context. Wildeana therefore challenges the way we think about the historical trajectory of neo-Victorianism. Its long history and early political engagement with Wilde’s life and work suggest that Wildeana is not only a subset of neo-Victorianism but also one of its prototypical forms. Wildeana produced between 1900 and the present day reads as a critical response to the key events in queer history. By analysing the changes in the portrayal and politicisation of Wilde’s sexuality in post-1900 Wildeana, this thesis sheds light on the evolution of English and American conceptualisation of sex, gender and sexuality. Its aim is not to establish how Wilde understood his sexuality, nor to prove that at any stage of his life Wilde politicised his sexuality. This project focuses instead on Wildeana which invents political positions that Wilde might have held and employs them in homosexual identity politics. The Wildean referent has been repeatedly reinvented to embody new gender and sexual identities; it has been adapted and appropriated by numerous communities to voice their political agendas. Since post-1900 Wildeana mirrors the key events in queer history as well as the changes in the conception of same-sex desire and behaviour in English and American sociocultural contexts, this thesis reads Wildeana as an index to the history of English and American homosexual identity politics.
