It is the district's opinion that education should prepare a child for life, beginning at the very simplest level, spirally building concepts and skills to a complex level. We plan to achieve this goal by offering the best academic and vocational educational programs possible. We also believe a vital part of our mission is to establish a school program which reflects the values, needs, and ambitions of our community. To provide its mission, the district has established this goal: To provide special consideration to those basic skills necessary for functioning effectively in our society by: A. Providing adequate instructional time through a climate conducive to learning. B. Providing written instructional objectives, materials, supplies, and support services needed for the basic skills instruction in every academic subject at each grade level. C. Evaluation of student mastery of specified instructional objectives. D. Basic decisions regarding grading, promotion retention, and graduation upon student performance of instructional objectives.

It has been accepted for inclusion in History Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. RELAYS IN REBELLION: THE POWER IN LILIAN NGOYI AND FANNIE LOU HAMER by CATHY L. FREEMAN Under the Direction of Michelle Brattain ABSTRACT This thesis compares how Lilian Ngoyi of South Africa and Fannie Lou Hamer of the United States crafted political identities and assumed powerful leadership, respectively, in struggles against racial oppression via the African National Congress and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. The study asserts that Ngoyi and Hamer used alternative sources of personal power which arose from their location in the intersecting social categories of culture, gender and class. These categories challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries and complicate any analysis of political economy, state power relations and black liberation studies which minimize the contributions of women. Also, by analyzing resistance leadership squarely within both African and North American contexts, this thesis answers the call of scholar Patrick Manning for a “homeland and diaspora” model which positions Africa itself within the historiography of transnational academic debates.

    1 GOTHIC HYBRIDITIES: INTERDISCIPLINARY, MULTIMODAL AND TRANSHISTORICAL APPROACHES 14TH CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL GOTHIC ASSOCIATION Speakers, Abstracts and Biographies (in alphabetical order by surname) A JEFFREY ACHIERNO (San Francisco State University, USA) Paper Title: The Tragic Gothic: Nietzsche’s Birth of Tragedy and the early Gothic Novel Gothic literature is often discussed as a genre about the confrontation between two opposing forces: the empirical/rational and the unseen supernatural. This is dichotomy is strikingly similar to the dichotomy that Nietzsche presents his Birth of Tragedy between the Apollonian and the Dionysian. In this confrontation, Nietzsche posits that when the Dionysian prevails, the Apollonian is checked and destroyed while when the Apollonian prevails it stands ever more rigid than before. Using early Gothic novels – Walpole’s Castle of Otranto, Lewis’s The Monk, Beckford’s Vathek, and Brown’s Wieland – the genre will be analyzed through the lens of this dichotomic struggle. Through this discussion, this concept of the “tragic Gothic” will be constructed with the support of the same Nietzschean dichotomy found within these works and how the genre relates to the tragic form. Biography: I am currently an MA student in Comparative Literature at San Francisco State University, after having received my BA in Humanities at the University of Colorado at Boulder. My research interests are the philosophical intersections between cultural productions, with particular interest in the art and literature of the eighteenth century. ENRIQUE AJURIA IBARRA (Universidad de las Américas Puebla, México) Paper Title: Media, Shadows, and Spiritual Bindings: Tracing Mexican Gothic in Óscar Urrutia Mexican Gothic horror cinema has usually borrowed elements from other film traditions, such as the United States, Britain, or Asia.
