Perception, Permission and Purpose: Portraits of Vulnerability And Perception, Permission and Purpose: Portraits of Vulnerability and Resilience in Teaching _________________________________________________ A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the department of Educational Studies College of Education, Criminal Justice, & Human Services by Ann L. Straka March 2018 MA, University of Cincinnati, 2010 BA, University of Kentucky, 2008 _________________________________________________ Miriam B. Raider-Roth, EdD, Chair Mary Boat, PhD Mary Brydon-Miller, PhD Sarah Hellmann, PhD Lisa Vaughn, PhD i Abstract This dissertation is a qualitative portraiture study that explores vulnerability and resilience in teaching, using poetry and visual art as integrated elements of the portraiture process. This study is approached from a feminist, relational stance that views relationships and connection as central to human development, drawing from relational cultural theory (Gilligan; 1979; 2014; Miller & Stiver, 1997; Jordan et al., 2004; Jordan, 2017) and communicative resilience theory (Buzzanell, 2010, 2017) to explore how teachers make sense of vulnerability and construct resilience in their teaching lives. Findings of this study reveal the following three dimensions of vulnerability in teaching: vulnerability as courageous disconnection, vulnerability as authentic emotional expression, and vulnerability as paradox. Through the lenses of perception, permission and purpose, the participants in this study simultaneously make sense of vulnerability in their teaching lives and discursively construct resilience. ii Copyright 2018 Ann L. Straka iii For Eleanor iv Acknowledgements I am beyond blessed to be surrounded by a loving community of family, friends and colleagues who supported me throughout my journey as a doctoral student.

  • Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi(1207 - 1273) Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi (Persian: ?????????? ???? ?????), also known as Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (?????????? ???? ????), and more popularly in the English-speaking world simply as Rumi (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian[1][6] poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic.[7] Iranians, Turks, Afghans, Tajiks, and other Central Asian Muslims as well as the Muslims of South Asia have greatly appreciated his spiritual legacy in the past seven centuries.[8] Rumi's importance is considered to transcend national and ethnic borders. His poems have been widely translated into many of the world's languages and transposed into various formats. In 2007, he was described as the "most popular poet in America."[9] Rumi's works are written in Persian and his Mathnawi remains one of the purest literary glories of Persia,[10] and one of the crowning glories of the Persian language.[11] His original works are widely read today in their original language across the Persian-speaking world (Iran, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and parts of Persian speaking Central Asia).[12] Translations of his works are very popular in other countries. His poetry has influenced Persian literature as well as Urdu, Punjabi, Turkish and some other Iranian, Turkic and Indic languages written in Perso-Arabic script e.g. Pashto, Ottoman Turkish, Chagatai and Sindhi. Name Jalal ad-Din Mu?ammad Balkhi (Persian: ?????????? ???? ????? Persian pronunciation: [d?æl??læddi?n mohæmmæde bælxi?]) is also known as Jalal ad- Din Mu?ammad Rumi (?????????? ???? ????

  • THE MYTHOPOESIS of LAWRENCE DURRELL by PHYLLIS MARGERY
    THE MYTHOPOESIS OF LAWRENCE DURRELL by PHYLLIS MARGERY REEVE B.A., Bishop's University, 1958 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1965 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study* I further agree that per• mission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publi- cation of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission* Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada D ^e ^UJ/ £QT ff^S ii ABSTRACT In The Alexandria Quartet Lawrence Durrell develops a series of images involving mirrors, to suggest that truth, especially the truth about oneself, is to be approached only through the juxtaposi• tion of many memories, times and selves. Since the self must find itself through other selves, the artist is concerned with love and friendship, where self is revealed in its relation to the other. In narcissism and incest, the self becomes the other, in relation to its own divided being. The use of mirror allusions in connection with the acquisi• tion of self-knowledge is apparent not only in the Quartet, but also in Durrell1s poetry and in the early novels The Black Book and The Dark Labyrinth.
