Creator
Peynado, Franklin., Florida Atlantic University, Keaton, Kenneth
Abstract/Description
Leonard Bernstein has been known worldwide as an outstanding conductor and composer, but only to a lesser extent as a music educator. His involvement and achievements as a music educator are enormous and collectively deserve greater attention. This thesis brings greater attention to those ventures by tracing his musical development and his career as a music educator.

Show moreThis thesis examines the career of Frances Perkins prior to her appointment as Secretary of Labor in 1933. Historians have generally ignored these early years. Yet it was during this time that many of her truly dynamic ideas and programs emerged. Perkins' background is traced from her school days through her tenure with the Consumers' League, the New York State Factory Investigating Commission, and the New York State Industrial Commission. The influence of progressivism on her thought is also discussed. An attempt is made to illustrate that the New Deal was not a new deal for Frances Perkins, but rather a logical step forward in the program for social justice she had promoted throughout her career.

Tramping: alternatives to traditional American rites of passage.
Creator
Saturno, Anthony Vincent, Brown, Susan Love, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
Abstract/Description
In America today, adolescent boys do not have a structured, ritualized or guided passage From boyhood into manhood. Many young men feel unsure of their manhood even at an age that signifies the transition. This causes young males to need a self--‐created rite of passage. Tramping, the act of travelling by train, hitchhiking or foot, is one way in which young males can independently achieve manhood. This is a literary account of the lives of Jack Kerouac, Chris McCandless, and Zebu Recchia....
Show moreIn America today, adolescent boys do not have a structured, ritualized or guided passage From boyhood into manhood. Many young men feel unsure of their manhood even at an age that signifies the transition. This causes young males to need a self--‐created rite of passage. Tramping, the act of travelling by train, hitchhiking or foot, is one way in which young males can independently achieve manhood. This is a literary account of the lives of Jack Kerouac, Chris McCandless, and Zebu Recchia. Their personal stories allow a detailed view of the advantages and disadvantages found in a self--‐created rite of passage. While two of the accounts are successful, in Chris McCandless’s case the rite ends in a transition to death.Tramping as a rite of passage to adulthood seems effective but the danger in self--‐ creation appears to be the lack of guidance that comes in unstructured rites of passage.

Show moreWigging Out, a memoir, chronicles my first chemotherapy treatment which began in 2008 for the autoimmune disease Lupus. The primary focus is on how identity is affected by disability. Each symptom of my disease and side effect from my medications prompted a reevaluation of my identity as I felt a change both in myself and in the way others perceived me. In order to maintain a sense of control, I tried several techniques to pass and cover my disabled status, including the use of prosthetic hair pieces. Ultimately, the use of prosthetics made accepting my situation more difficult as it encouraged holding onto a former identity rather than creating a new one. It was not until I stopped using prosthetics as a form of denial and instead adopted them as part of a new identity that I was finally able to achieve the confidence necessary to fight for my life.
