The Urgency for the Acquisition of the Danish
THE URGENCY FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE DANISH WEST INDIES By Aimery Caron Presented to the Caribbean Genealogy Library on the occasion of the 97th anniversary of Transfer Day March 31, 2014 ABSTRACT. Unlike 1867, 1890 and 1902, in 1916, already two years into World War I, the US Navy was not looking for an added coaling station or naval base in the Caribbean. However, since 1902, it had been clear to Admiral George DEWEY that Kaiser WILHELM II coveted the Danish West Indies to be used as a naval base, through which he could exert military and political power in the Caribbean. After the improvements made to the St. Thomas Harbor facilities just prior to World War I, and Admiral von Tirpitz’ U-boat campaign to sink all commercial and naval ships aiding the Allies, it became obvious that the Hamburg-American Line facilities in St. Thomas Harbor might be used as a U-boat supply base for the control of maritime traffic in the Caribbean and the Mid-Atlantic. Aware of this serious German threat, Admiral DEWEY convinced President Woodrow WILSON and the US Congress that the acquisition of the Danish West Indies was a matter of great urgency. He should be credited for speeding the sale negotiations, which successfully ended on 4 August 1916, for persuading the US Senate to ratify the treaty only a month later, and for saving the Caribbean from the scourge of German U-boats during World War I.

Genres of Experience: Three Articles on Literacy Narratives and Academic Research Writing
GENRES OF EXPERIENCE: THREE ARTICLES ON LITERACY NARRATIVES AND ACADEMIC RESEARCH WRITING By Ann M. Lawrence A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Rhetoric and Writing – Doctor Of Philosophy 2014 ABSTRACT GENRES OF EXPERIENCE: THREE ARTICLES ON LITERACY NARRATIVES AND ACADEMIC RESEARCH WRITING By Ann M. Lawrence This dissertation collects three articles that emerged from my work as a teacher and a researcher. In Chapter One, I share curricular resources that I designed as a teacher of research literacies to encourage qualitative research writers in (English) education to engage creatively and critically with the aesthetics of their research-writing processes and to narrate their experiences in dialogues with others. Specifically, I present three heuristics for writing and revising qualitative research articles in (English) education: “PAGE” (Purpose, Audience, Genre, Engagement), “Problem Posing, Problem Addressing, Problem Posing,” and “The Three INs” (INtroduction, INsertion, INterpretation). In explaining these heuristics, I describe the rhetorical functions and conventional structure of all of the major sections of qualitative research articles, and show how the problem for study brings the rhetorical “jobs” of each section into purposive relationship with those of the other sections. Together, the three curricular resources that I offer in this chapter prompt writers to connect general rhetorical concerns with specific writing moves and to approach qualitative research writing as a strategic art. Chapters Two and Three emerged from research inspired by my teaching, during which writers shared with me personal literacy narratives, or autobiographical accounts related to their experiences with academic research writing. -

HONORS COORDINAfffiR Poeschl 1 The Pedagogy of Intertextuality, Genre, andAdaptation: Young Adult Literary Adaptations in the Classroom Preface There has been a recent shift in the viewpoint of educators in regardto the literary genre known as "Young Adult" (YA L ).1 This genre, with a target audience of readers aged 12 to 18 respectively; is becoming more and more present in the English Language Arts classroom and its application within curriculum has resulted in it sometimes talcingthe place of moretraditionally taught works from the Literary Canon.2 This shift in preference and presence is arguably beneficial to students being that YAL provides a more accessible means by which students can meet Common Core State Standards through texts that are often more interesting to students. Further, there is a growing subset of YAL wherein authors provide a modernized take on literary classics, allowing narratives that have been staples in ELA curricula for decades to become more relatable to their contemporaryadolescent audiences. -

A Study for Non-Profit Organizations and Social Actors
Digital Content Creation in 2018: A Study for Non-Profit Organizations and Social Actors - A Mixed Methods Approach To The Experiences of New Media November 2, 2018 Simone Staack Hedelund Media and Communication Studies Master Thesis (2-year), 15 Credits Supervisor: Bo Reimer Malmö University K3 | School of Arts and Communication Acknowledgements A warm thank you to Bo Reimer for generous guidance throughout the process of this thesis. Your constructive support and attentive encouragement have been valuable tools. Being a student at Malmø University for the last two years has been a fantastic experience, and I have encountered dedicated and talented staf through a fascinating program. I am deeply appreciative for all the individuals who contributed to this project, by sharing their time and knowledge on the broad subject of media transformation. The knowledge points provided in the interviews have altered my approach to new media. !2 Abstract This study explores the phenomenon of new power as a framework for empowerment for non-profit organizations. The concept is coined by social entrepreneurs Henry Timms and Jeremy Heimans in their book New Power (2018), and the aim is to investigate the efects of new media today through an analysis twelve media actors experiences of working in the creative industries. Through a flexible study based on the paradigm of phenomenology, this thesis researched by examining new power as a 'black box’—an object of human perception—to arrive at new understandings of the workings of media environments today. The qualitative data is backed by a case study of a niche community in the form of digital scrapings that reveal characteristics of spreadable mechanisms in a networked community.
