Show moreArchival documents have shown Spain's attempts at Christianizing the Aztecs and illustrated Spanish justifications for the destruction of traditional Aztec beliefs and gender roles. Analyzing these documents, it becomes apparent that female roles were transformed along the lines of Spanish and Christian ideologies of a proper woman. An examination of the initial nature of Aztec-Spanish relations, with a specific emphasis on the religiosity and mentalities of both the conquered and the conquerors, provides a direct correlation between transformation of native women's social status and initial contacts with European patriarchal customs. Focusing on the reciprocating system of duality existing between men and women in Aztec life and religion, Spain's persistence at adopting a patriarchal structure for all indigenous peoples, the andocentric mentality of Christianity, and the resilience of native women's roles in the post-Conquest era, this thesis illustrates the various factors contributing to the transformation and preservation of Aztec female roles.

In this dissertation the dynamics of general relativity is studied via the spin-foam approach to quantum gravity. Spin-foams are a proposal to compute a transition amplitude from a triangulated space-time manifold for the evolution of quantum 3d geometry via path integral.

Show moreIn this dissertation the dynamics of general relativity is studied via the spin-foam approach to quantum gravity. Spin-foams are a proposal to compute a transition amplitude from a triangulated space-time manifold for the evolution of quantum 3d geometry via path integral. Any path integral formulation of a quantum theory has two important parts, the measure factor and a phase part. The correct measure factor is obtained by careful canonical analysis at the continuum level. The basic variables in the Plebanski-Holst formulation of gravity from which spin-foam is derived are a Lorentz connection and a Lorentz-algebra valued two-form, called the Plebanski two-form. However, in the final spin-foam sum, one usually sums over only spins and intertwiners, which label eigenstates of the Plebanski two-form alone. The spin-foam sum is therefore a discretized version of a Plebanski-Holst path integral in which only the Plebanski two-form appears, and in which the conne ction degrees of freedom have been integrated out. Calculating the measure factor for Plebanksi Holst formulation without the connection degrees of freedom is one of the aims of this dissertation. This analysis is at the continuum level and in order to be implemented in spin-foams one needs to properly discretize and quantize this measure factor. The correct phase is determined by semi-classical behavior. In asymptotic analysis of the Engle-Pereira-Rovelli-Livine spin-foam model, due to the inclusion of more than the usual gravitational sector, more than the usual Regge term appears in the asymptotics of the vertex amplitude. As a consequence, solutions to the classical equations of motion of GR fail to dominate in the semi-classical limit. One solution to this problem has been proposed in which one quantum mechanically imposes restriction to a single gravitational sector, yielding what has been called the “proper” spin-foam model. However, this revised model of quantum gravity, like any proposal for a theory of quantum gravity, must pass certain tests. In the regime of small curvature, one expects a given model of quantum gravity to reproduce the predictions of the linearized theory. As a consistency check we calculate the graviton two-point function predicted by the Lorentzian proper vertex and examine its semiclassical limit.

Show moreIn this qualitative study, spirituality, and leadership among 15 Black collegiate men enrolled at higher education institutions were examined. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe and explore the essence of spirituality within the lived experiences of undergraduate Black men student leaders. The objective was to understand the intersection of spirituality and leadership within Black men, and how it informed their decision making and influenced their career aspirations post their undergraduate collegiate experience. In this study, spirituality is defined as an “internal process of seeking personal authenticity, genuineness, and wholeness as an aspect of identity development” (Love & Talbot, 1999, p. 364). Guided by descriptive phenomenological methodology, four research questions were asked: (1) What is the meaning of spirituality for Black men student leaders? (2) How do Black men student leaders apply spirituality within their daily leadership practices and behaviors? (3) How do Black men student leaders define the connection between spirituality and leadership development? (4) How does spirituality inform the pathways and career aspirations of Black men student leaders? Four findings emerged as a result of the data analysis: (1) The Spirit and the Struggle: Spirituality Empowers Black Leadership, (2) The Spirit of Black Leadership is Service to Others, (3) Leading from Within: Spirituality is the “Backbone” of Black Men Leadership Identity, and (4) Spirituality Influences Black Men Career Aspirations.

Analyzing changes in the political party system has been approached in numerous forms. This paper examines change in state level party strength and political behavior at the individual level. By analyzing state level partisan balance shifts between 1952-1988, states cluster into groups based on their aggregate electoral partisan strength.

This paper examines change in state level party strength and political behavior at the individual level. By analyzing state level partisan balance shifts between 1952-1988, states cluster into groups based on their aggregate electoral partisan strength. Utilizing the methodology of Earl and Merle Black (1987) and by compiling data from the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center-Center for Political Studies (SRC-CPS), political attitudes of socio-economic groups are compared between states which show trends of Republicanism versus those favoring a Democratic party trend. These comparisons shed light on current realignment theory, the dismantling of the New Deal coalition, and the forming of new coalitions.

This thesis examines one aspect of the decline in partisanship--split-ticket voting. Vote choices in three presidential elections--1980, 1984, and 1988--were analyzed. Split-ticket voting was examined among four groups in the voting population: race, region, age, and social class. There were only limited differences in the inclination to vote split-tickets among the groups analyzed. Incumbency at the House and Senate level was considered to be a viable factor which increased split-ticket...

There were only limited differences in the inclination to vote split-tickets among the groups analyzed. Incumbency at the House and Senate level was considered to be a viable factor which increased split-ticket voting. The factor of incumbency did encourage split-ticket voting in House races. However, it was not as significant a factor in Senate races.
