It is a well-deserved celebration because it is a demonstrable fact, and Creating Knowledge is evidence of it. Every institution of higher education seeks to raise awareness and provide understanding of the world around us. That is a common thing. A subset of those institutions take that understanding of the world and use it as an actionable platform for the creation of new knowledge that comes back to further feed into our awareness and understanding of the world. To meet this critical need, our faculty, in some measure, carry the responsibility of fulfilling a scholarship agenda. We seek to be teacher-scholars, which is also a common thing. Yet in LAS, we go beyond providing our students with awareness and understanding; we take them that extra step into creating knowledge and disseminating it so it can be put to use. We ask our undergraduate students to join our faculty in this creative endeavor not only from the perspective of their own field of study, but also in multidisciplinary intersections—intersections as rich and complex as the world around us. That is a very “DePaul thing,” and this year’s Creating Knowledge, with its multidisciplinary richness, provides extraordinary evidence that indeed, “Here, We Do!” Creating Knowledge: The LAS Journal of Undergraduate Scholarship, was the product of a 2008 initiative aimed towards the goal of promoting research and creative endeavors among our undergraduate students. This volume marks our 12th anniversary of this unique publication. Within its pages, you will find 21 essays and 15 works of art representing advanced coursework produced in programs of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences during the 2018-2019 academic year. All of the work presented here has been selected by department-based faculty committees as the best student work of the year, and all pieces have been revised under faculty supervision for publication. Most of the work has already been recognized through department awards and supported by undergraduate research and creative grants. The first footnote to each essay provides information about the class in which it was written and the process of selection and revision it underwent. Together, these works represent the intellectual depth, sophistication, and diversity for which our college is proudly recognized. The clearly visible academic rigor displayed in Creating Knowledge is dependent on the investment of time, intellect, and enthusiasm of our faculty and staf. I would like to express my profound gratitude to the more than 60 faculty who supported, reviewed, selected, and helped to edit this remarkable collection of student work. I am also deeply grateful to the Department of Art, Media and Design faculty who served as jurors of the artwork, and to the writing and publication students who proofread the volume. In particular, I would like to thank Lisa Poirier, who serves as editor of this volume, for putting out the call for submissions, supporting the faculty work of reviewing, selecting, and editing the student essays, and coordinating the production of the print and digital editions. I am sure, in the following pages, you will see the dedication and critical thought our featured students put into their work and how Creating Knowledge encourages and challenges their peers to build further on their accomplishments. I hope that our alumni and friends of the college will take this opportunity to celebrate the high quality of their college experience and support our current students through the establishment of scholarships, internships, and the inclusion of our graduating students in their long-term recruitment and hiring plans. We are a collection of perennial learners who find great joy in creating knowledge. It is my pleasure to invite you to enjoy this twelfth issue of Creating Knowledge: The LAS Journal of Undergraduate Scholarship.

  • Kodak Black Brand New Glizzy Free Download
    kodak black brand new glizzy free download Kodak Black Drops Off Another New Single "Brand New Glizzy" Kodak Black drops off his second track of the day with "Brand New Glizzy." Kodak Black is in go mode right now. Earlier today, he announced that he'd be dropping off a new project this Friday with Project Baby 2: All Grown Up . He also confirmed that he'd dropping to new singles today. He previously dropped off a remix to Beyonce and Drake's "I Can" and now, he delivers another effort with "Brand New Glizzy." Kodak's latest effort is another slower effort from him. The beat is lead by a slow guitar progression with the 808 bass driving it forward. However, it's less introspective and more of a flex. Kodak still touches on some personal topics throughout the single but Kodak definitely flexes on this more than he did on "201519971800." It sounds a bit more celebratory in a way, as if he's looking at 2017's yearbook and realizing how far he has come. It's another look into what we should be expecting from his upcoming Project Baby 2: All Grown Up. Quotable Lyrics I just dropped an album, Project baby 2 I got a son now, my little baby two I got snakes in my Gucci, I'm a python I got snakes in my closet but not in my yard. Kodak Black discography. The discography of American hip hop recording artist Kodak Black consists of two studio albums, seven mixtapes and thirty-three singles (including ten singles as a featured artist), and fifty music videos.

  • Resistance to the Censorship of Historical Thought in the Twentieth
    Published as: Antoon De Baets, “Resistance to the Censorship of Historical Thought in the Twentieth Century,” in: Sølvi Sogner, ed., Making Sense of Global History: The 19th International Congress of Historical Sciences, Oslo 2000, Commemorative Volume (Oslo: Universitetsforlaget, 2001), 389–409. RESISTANCE TO THE CENSORSHIP OF HISTORICAL THOUGHT IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 Antoon De Baets University of Groningen, the Netherlands Abstract—This paper attempts to demonstrate that many historians have resisted the censorship of historical thought, either inside or outside tyrannical regimes, throughout the twentieth century. Those who actively struggled against persecution were either directly threatened and resisted the threat, or less personally involved but fighting for the cause of history, academic freedom and human rights. A third group, frequently in the background, consisted of all the outsiders who attempted to maintain solidarity with their persecuted colleagues. In addition, historians, in a unique professional reflex, are able to supplement contemporary resistance with retroactive resistan- ce. They possess the power to reopen cases and challenge the rulers' amnesia and falsification of history. The first group of historians were those directly affected by repression. Historians in prison taught history to their fellow inmates or were able to do some historical research. Outside prison, some historians engaged in clandestine activities such as publishing their work in the samizdat circuit, teaching at flying universities, or illegally gaining access to closed archives. Others defied likely censorship by refuting the cherished historical myths that supported the powers that be, or by uttering the unmentionable with historical metaphors. A minority adopted methods of open resistance. Some bravely refused to take loyalty oaths, and were dismissed.

  • Alba Doesn't Care About Fantastic Four Role
    37 TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2014 LIFESTYLE Gossip Webb recalls offer to first helm Spider-Man arc Webb thought it was “crazy” when he was first offered the chance to direct ‘The Amazing Spider- MMan’. The 39-year-old filmmaker - who was recently confirmed to helm Andrew Garfield in the third installment of the superhero franchise - was initially surprised when he was approached by Sony boss, Amy Pascal, to make a remake of Sam Raimi’s 2002 film ‘Spider-Man’. Talking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, in Austin, Texas, he told the audience: “I thought it was crazy.” Pascal responded to his hesita- tions by saying: “Honey, you can’t turn down Spider-Man.” Webb wants the film franchise to be “fantastic” and “big”, in keeping with how children feel when they read about the Marvel superhero, who was first created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko. He added: “I’m going to embrace the spectacle. There was a moment deep in the [first film’s] post-production process where a giant lizard smashed through a wall chas- ing a boy-man in a unitard and I said, ‘This is not grounded. I’m not going to be beholden to smallness. I want it to be fantastic, to be big, to command and express that feeling when you’re a kid and reading the comics.’ I didn’t want to hide or shy away from that.” Lily Allen to release Sheezus in May Smith to produce Harlem Hellfighters ill Smith has signed on to produce a film Wadaptation of the graphic novel ‘Harlem Hellfighters’.
