  • Joel-Plaskett-Interview
    HHB Communications Canada Limited In conversation with Joel Plaskett anada has produced some of the world’s most enduring songwriters Cand Joel Plaskett is hailed as one of the best. With countless awards, thousands of tour dates and numerous recording and producing projects under his belt, Plaskett remains one of the most innovative and prolific artists on the scene today. Inspired by a high demand for his ears as a producer, Joel rang in 2013 with the completion and launch of his new recording studio, New Scotland Yard. Since the opening, Joel has put his mark on the recordings of Sarah Slean, Al Tuck, David Myles, Steve Poltz, and most recently, buzz act Mo Kenney. In 2014, he continues to amass production credits with several projects already on the schedule – including a new record of his own. Congrats on your recent ECMA nomination for Producer of the Year!! Are you excited about being nominated? Thanks! Yeah, I'm super excited. I've been doing more and more producing and it's nice to get a nod in that arena. Although I still feel like I have a lot to learn. You are not only a producer but also celebrated live artist as well. Is it hard to find a balance between being on the road and in the studio? They are two different worlds. I built New Scotland Yard so I could have place to work from that is close to home when I'm not touring. Going elsewhere to make records involved me being away for too long. My family is really important to me and although I'm a workaholic.

  • Time's the Revelator
    Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music Ashley Denise Melzer A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of American Studies (Folklore). Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. William Ferris Dr. Robert Cantwell Dr. Patricia Sawin © 2009 Ashley Denise Melzer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ASHLEY MELZER: Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music (Under the directions of Dr. William Ferris, Dr. Robert Cantwell, and Dr. Patricia Sawin) This thesis investigates the relationship between the modern old-time and alt.country movements through the comparison of four different female musicians: Abigail Washburn, Rayna Gellert, Gillian Welch, and Neko Case. These four women often pull from the same wellspring of old-time songs/structures/sounds, but their instincts come from exceptionally different places. The disparity between the ways they approach their music, reveals how the push toward modern capitalist industrialism has affected how different artists and communities access and transmit those old-world icons and sounds. Furthermore, their engagement specifically with the topic of gender exposes key tactical differences. Old-time musicians, Washburn and Gellert, work within the strictures of tradition so as to remain in dialogue with their community. Welch and Case play into the experimental bent of alt.country to emotionally affect listeners in order to create discreet, personal connections between themselves and their audience. iii To the ones who listen and love me anyway iv PREFACE In the summer, Florida is so hot the home becomes some dark prison of necessary air conditioning.

  • Journal of Undergraduate Research 2017-2018 Journal of Undergraduate Research
    JOURNAL OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH 2017-2018 JOURNAL OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many thanks to the College of Arts & Letters for generously supporting the production of the Journal of Undergraduate Research. We are proud to represent the College and to showcase exemplary research from some of its more than sixty academic majors and minors. Special thanks to Brenda Teshka for her steadfast encouragement and assistance. We also express immense gratitude and pride for our board of dedicated Editors. They have devoted respect and care to each paper considered. It has been an honor and a pleasure to oversee the Journal with them this year. Lastly, it is the Journal’s readership that makes possible this publication. Thank you! 1 JOURNAL OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH NOTE FROM THE EDITORS The cultural and political twists and turns of this past year have underscored the importance of nuanced, credible news coverage and thorough, reflective research. As social media and broadcast television increasingly appear as conduits for fast, opinion-laden commentary, thoughtful academic research continues to provide poignant, vibrant insights on how and why human communities of every scale transform in violence, solidarity, and belonging. Research of this variety, in turn, contrasts the ever-churning media cycle by allowing for the possibility of a continually growing body of knowledge concerned with an ever deeper understanding of the social world. Undergraduate researchers at the University of Notre Dame have undertaken the challenge of socially conscious knowledge production with zeal and affection, and we are proud to showcase their work herein. This year’s publication includes seven pieces - four in print, and three online - spanning a wide array of topics from Filipino identity to early modern medicine, and beat spirituality to biblical epic poems.
