Title: American Engaged Buddhism and new social movement theory.
Creator: Martin, Mariah Magdalene., Florida Atlantic University, Christiansen, Lars
Abstract/Description: In this thesis, I document the existence of the American Engaged Buddhist (AEB) social movement by describing its history, organizations, and actions. Then, I utilize AEB's example to address unresolved debates within NSM theory, including wherein newness is to be found, whether NSMs are reactive and/or progressive, the non-economic basis of group solidarity, and the emphasis on cultural rather than political change. I place considerable focus on the creation and maintenance of the...
Show moreIn this thesis, I document the existence of the American Engaged Buddhist (AEB) social movement by describing its history, organizations, and actions. Then, I utilize AEB's example to address unresolved debates within NSM theory, including wherein newness is to be found, whether NSMs are reactive and/or progressive, the non-economic basis of group solidarity, and the emphasis on cultural rather than political change. I place considerable focus on the creation and maintenance of the bodhisattva identity and the cohesiveness of the sangha (religious community). Through a qualitative case study, I find that the movement is organized around religious beliefs rather than the economic or structural class of the participants. AEB participants present as culturally motivated and show both progressive and reactive collective behavior. The basis of the movement's solidarity, plus its technologically savvy forms of communications and global networking, lend it a distinct air of newness apart from traditional social movements.

Title: Intuitive conceptions of dead agents' minds: The natural foundations of afterlife beliefs.
Creator: Bering, Jesse Michael, Florida Atlantic University, Bjorklund, David F.
Abstract/Description: Little is known about how the minds of dead agents are represented. In Study 1, adult participants with different types of explicit afterlife beliefs were asked in an implicit interview task whether various psychological state types (psychobiological, perceptual, emotional, desire, and epistemic states), as well as pure biological imperatives (e.g., need to eat), continue after death. The results suggest that, regardless of one's explicit reports about personal consciousness after death,...
Show moreLittle is known about how the minds of dead agents are represented. In Study 1, adult participants with different types of explicit afterlife beliefs were asked in an implicit interview task whether various psychological state types (psychobiological, perceptual, emotional, desire, and epistemic states), as well as pure biological imperatives (e.g., need to eat), continue after death. The results suggest that, regardless of one's explicit reports about personal consciousness after death, those who believe in some form of life after death (and, to a certain extent, even those who do not) implicitly represent dead agents' minds in the same way: psychobiological and perceptual states cease while emotional, desire, and epistemic states continue. The findings are interpreted according to simulation constraints---because it is epistemologically impossible to know what it is like to be dead, individuals will be most likely to attribute to dead agents those types of mental states that they cannot imagine being without. In Study 2, the developmental emergence of such reasoning was investigated. In Experiment 1, 4--6-year-olds and 6--8-year-olds were asked a series of biological questions about a dead agent (e.g., "Does his brain still work?"). Even the youngest children were likely to reason that biological processes cease at death. In Experiment 2, different, similarly aged children and also a group of 10--12-year-olds were asked a series of psychological questions about a dead agent (e.g., "Does he know that he's not alive?"). The youngest children were equally likely to reason that both cognitive (e.g., knowing) and psychobiological states (e.g., hunger) continue after death, while the oldest children were more likely to reason that cognitive states continue. Finally, in Experiment 3, both children and adults were asked about a broad array of psychological states (those used in Study 1). With the exception of the youngest children (M = 5 years), who did not distinguish between any of the psychological state types, older children (M = 11-years) and adults were most likely to attribute to dead agents epistemic, emotional, and desire states, suggesting that developmentally based mechanisms underlie implicit accounts of deceased agents' minds.

Title: The veil and the state: Debating the unveiling and re-veiling of women in twentieth-century Iran.
Creator: Talachian, Masoud., Florida Atlantic University, Cameron, Mary
Abstract/Description: Hijab, the Islamic dress code, in Muslim communities is a sensitive and controversial issue. It embodies religious doctrine and patriarchal policies. However, in Iran this concept entails a more exclusive significance due to the strict nature of the Shiite faith, which is prevalent in Iran, along with a volatile political system and harsh practices of patriarchy and male domination that are legitimized by Iranian culture and traditions.

Show moreHijab, the Islamic dress code, in Muslim communities is a sensitive and controversial issue. It embodies religious doctrine and patriarchal policies. However, in Iran this concept entails a more exclusive significance due to the strict nature of the Shiite faith, which is prevalent in Iran, along with a volatile political system and harsh practices of patriarchy and male domination that are legitimized by Iranian culture and traditions. The legacy of veiling in Iran is not a product of Islam and Islamic laws. Such a practice had existed in Iran centuries before the appearance of Islam in Mecca. The veil predates Islam, and during the ancient dynasties in Persia the veil and harem were common practices. The veil has often been a source of male domination and patriarchy in Iran. During the twentieth century, the coercive unveiling and re-veiling have played important roles in the repression, exclusion and seclusion of women, which have assisted the state to continue its domination over women and achieve political gains and progress.

Title: The Vessel: The Connection of Pottery and Earth Consciousness.
Creator: Turnbull, Maltiben Dave, Caputi, Jane, Florida Atlantic University

Show moreThe Vessel: The Connection o f Pottery and Earth Consciousness, addresses the topic of Earth Consciousness through an exploration of the crafting and use of clay vessels among three indigenous cultures, from parts of the Southwest United States, and those from parts of India and Africa. Earth Consciousness is the awareness that the Earth is a conscious living being and that one is connected to the Earth through every cycle of one’s life. Myths of creation describing the existence of clay and pottery before the origin of human beings are present in these cultures, some of who also believe that they were created out of clay. Thereby, their connection to the Earth, strengthened by this belief, is deep and it is exhibited through the use of clay vessels in ritual ceremonies and daily activities. The potters in these cultures express their realization of clay as a gift of the Earth, whom they conceptualize as Mother Earth, in the ceremonies they perform prior to collecting clay, crafting the vessels, and firing them. Among contemporary ceramists, one also finds works meant to remind the viewers of their physical, spiritual, and political connection to the Earth. In my dissertation, I explore the works of four such ceramists, Sadashi Inuzuka, Gabrielle Koch, Joseph Lonewolf, and Denise Romecki. I also discussed the philosophy behind my own artwork, which I have created as part of requirement for graduation and exhibited at the university galleries. This dissertation clarifies my concepts of Earth Consciousness bringing attention to the urgent need for individual action in the form of personal behavioral change and worldview towards the Earth and other living beings. My ideas are derived from various sources including indigenous spirituality, Hinduism, and Buddhism. My hope is that the words of this dissertation and the ceramic work I am presenting will stir in the reader and the viewer a desire to strengthen their relationship to the Earth. It is my belief that individual action can be a powerful tool in countering further destruction of the planet.

Title: Power and legitimacy in the medieval Muslim world: the career of Imad al-Din Zengi (1085-1146).

Even though the careers of other famous Muslim warriors during the Crusading period tend to overshadow his accomplishments, Zengi had a remarkable career which provided him the opportunities to advance his own agenda within the larger Saljuq political structure. This structure allowed Zengi the opportunity to establish power within the Levant (modern day Syria, Iraq). Zengi succeeded in further stabilizing his own military position through manipulation of both political relationships and religious practices, specifically the calling for and waging of jihad, both of which allowed him to build toward developing his own independence from the Saljuq sultanate.

Show moreThis study investigates the relationship of three protective factors : self transcendance, social interest, and spirituality to well-being among adults living with HIV or AIDS. It is the first study to explore the relationships of these protective factors to well-being. A convenience sample of 115 adults living with HIV or AIDS completed the Self-Transcendance Scale, the Social Interest Index- Short Form-Revised, the Spiritual Perspective Scale, and the Index of Well-Being. The participants were adults diagnosed with HIV or AIDS residing in a large southeastern U.S. city. Data were analyzed with correlational and multiple regression methods. Statistically significant positive moderate to strong relationships were found between well-being and self transcendance (r=.66, p<.001 ), social interest (r=.51, p<.001), and spirituality (r=.39, p<.001). A stepwise regression demonstrated that self transcendance held the highest variance on well-being among the three protective factors (43%). Additionally, self-transcendane and social interest accounted for 45% of the variance in well-being. In short, the hypothesized positive relationship among these protective factors with well-being was supported. This study provides theoretical and empirical support for linking self transcendance, social interest, and spirituality to well-being among adults living with HIV or AIDS. The clinical implications of these findings are also discussed.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine turnover trends of administrators in Florida's Jewish day schools, and to ascertain the reasons Jewish day school administrators leave the field despite the demand for professionals in that field. The study fills a gap in available data and research in this area, and helps shed light on a serious leadership crisis in Jewish education from the perspective of the administrators. A survey of documents and a series of interviews with school officials revealed that 105 administrative positions turned over in Florida's 36 Jewish day schools during the 1994-2004 school years. A third of those who left their positions opted to leave the field of day school administration entirely. Utilizing qualitative methodology, the researcher interviewed 11 of the administrators who left. The study found that day school administrators who leave the field are motivated and growth-oriented individuals who do not actualize their personal challenges in the field. Day school administrators who leave are disillusioned by what they find in the day school system, from the way administrators are treated by the various constituents of the school to the values under which the day school system operates. The study also found that there are no clear predictors of which administrators will leave the field; however, circumstances that lead to departure are similar.

Show moreJane Austen and Flannery O'Connor possess essentially religious imaginations. The character of their work is determined by the degree of similarity or difference between their beliefs and those generally held by their intended audiences. Austen, an orthodox Anglican in a fundamentally religious era, creates a fiction of restraint: gently satiric, ultimately comic in form and intent, directed to a reader who shares her vision of spiritual and moral order revealed through social structure. O'Connor, a Catholic in an age of unbelief, writes a fiction of extremity, characterized by fierce satire, violence, grotesquerie, and the juxtaposition of comic characters and situations with tragic form and meaning, directed to an unbelieving reader whom she wishes to "shock" into a new awareness of the sacred. A comparison of the work of Austen and O'Connor in this context leads to a renewed appreciation of the interdependence of imagination and reality in determining the distinctive qualities of a writer's oeuvre.

Show moreSince the 1960s Latin America has experienced a religious transformation, with several countries developing significant Protestant populations. These religious changes have influenced the political processes of several Latin American nations, playing a prominent role in elections and the formation of political platforms. Several theories attempt to account for the recent growth in religious pluralism, particularly social anomie theory and religious market models. These theories ignore or downplay the role of conflict between the state and civil society, especially violent confrontations between the government and the Roman Catholic Church. This study focuses on four case studies with varying amounts of church-state conflict and differing religious pluralistic growth rates: Colombia, Guatemala, Haiti, and Southern Mexico. This study finds that church-state conflict serves as a catalyst, and in some cases a useful predictor, of growth in religious pluralism.
