For twenty-one years, students have submitted their best scholarship to be reviewed by the Historical Perspectives editing committee, a team of students and faculty. This year, we were fortunate to have an Virile, Yet Feminine: Sport, Gender, and exceptional selection of papers to evaluate, reflecting the Representation in Fascist Italy high level of achievement of Santa Clara University’s history Andrea Dlugos.. 134 students. We would like to thank all students who submitted essays. The variety of research topics, theoretical Japan Disarmed: The Symbolism and Rejection of approaches, and writing styles illustrate the innovativeness the Defeated Soldier in Japanese Social Media and uniqueness of these pieces. While the following selection consists of papers that Ian Ghows.. 163 are distinct and cover a variety of geographic regions and eras, the overarching theme of identity unifies them. “We FUBAR: A Historical Perspective on the Status of should think of academic freedom,” wrote Edward Said, “as Women in the US Military an invitation to give up our obsession with our own identity Liz Marsden.. 189 in the hope of understanding, and perhaps even assuming, more than one.” These eight papers, organized chronologically, each contribute to our understanding of identity’s importance in the study of history. In Christina Forst’s paper dealing with infanticide cases in Victorian England, she discusses the pathologization of mothers who committed infanticide, and how their transgression affected how they were perceived by society. Maxine DeVincenzi also studies the Victorian era, specifically its death culture, and how burial practices helped define the period’s social identity. In her paper “Wicked California,” Michelle Khoury explores how Gold Rush California’s structureless society provided miners the freedom to engage in activities that were widely unaccepted elsewhere, allowing them to form their own identities through leisure. Maggie Woods’ work on World War I propaganda examines the romanticized, false identity of American soldiers in propaganda, which was used as a recruitment tool.
