This debate is equally recurrent, globally, in secular as well as church settings. As part of the debate, this thesis portfolio studies aid-dependency as a research problem, that is, an intellectual stimulus, calling for an answer in the form of a research inquiry. The inquiry delineates a multi- disciplinary research methodology with a distinctive focus on the qualitative characteristics of a case study in Haitian Methodism and the tasks of practical theology. The methodology is further constituted by both a literature review which provides etic data and fieldwork which welcomes emic data. The outcome generates a hypothesis which is constructed as ‘Aid- dependency has disempowered Haitian Protestantism by inhibiting self-sufficiency’. Continuing with this, etic data embodies the hypothesis in three literary-based theoretical categories: (1) ‘aid embodies characteristics of empowerment’, (2) ‘aid-dependency fosters socio-economic disempowerment’, and (3) ‘aid-dependency contributes to ineffective poverty- alleviation’. Furthermore, emic data sustains the hypothesis in four core themes: (1) ‘positive contribution of aid’, (2) ‘inhibitive outcome of aid-dependency’, (3) ‘expression of disempowerment’, and (4) ‘alternate response’. Altogether, on the pivot of aid-dependency, the themes socio-economic disempowerment and empowerment encapsulate the telos of the portfolio. Pragmatically, this advocates the empowerment of the Haitian majority. To achieve this, empowerment narratives and strategies invite aid-providers to validate aid-receivers’ informed consent and distil their paternalistic objectifying perspective. This empowerment alternative requires agreed institutional and national consensuses to break disempowering cultures of silence and epitomize the Haitian collective dream of prosperity in a context of needed change. The portfolio explores aid-dependency’s features, creates the awareness of its functionality and advocates empowerment as a contribution to scholarly knowledge. 9 Declaration: I declare that no portion of the work referred to in the thesis has been submitted in support of an application for another degree or qualification of this or any other university or other institute of learning.

  • When the One Who Bears the Scars Is the One Who Strikes the Blow: History, Human Rights, and Haiti’S Restavèks
    WHEN THE ONE WHO BEARS THE SCARS IS THE ONE WHO STRIKES THE BLOW: HISTORY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND HAITI’S RESTAVÈKS Laura Rose Wagner 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 Anthropology. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Michele Rivkin-Fish Peter Redfield Karla Slocum ©2008 Laura Rose Wagner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT LAURA WAGNER : When the One Who Bears the Scars is the One Who Strikes the Blow: History, Human Rights, and Haiti’s Restavèks (Under the direction of Michele Rivkin-Fish and Peter Redfield) The practice of keeping restavèks , or unpaid domestic child laborers, in Haiti has come under scrutiny by both human rights activists and journalists, many of whom describe it as a form of slavery. While this description is not entirely inaccurate and may also be useful, it fails to reflect the variability of treatment of restavèks , the complex ways in which power is exercised, the ways in which people occupy “oppressor” and “oppressed” roles simultaneously, the various local understandings of restavèk relationships and human rights, and the particular historical meanings and memories attached to slavery in Haiti. By critically examining descriptions of restavèks in activist and journalistic discourse, and analyzing the data collected during my fieldwork in the Haitian community in South Florida, I point to more syncretic and inclusive ways of understanding and reforming the practice of keeping restavèk s. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks first of all to my committee members, Michele Rivkin-Fish, Karla Slocum, and Peter Redfield, for their time, patience, advice, good humor, transcendence of geographical distance, and above all their insightful readings of my work.

  • “I Wait for Me”: Visualizing the Absence of the Haitian Revolution in Cinematic Text by Jude Ulysse a Thesis Submitted in C
    “I wait for me”: Visualizing the Absence of the Haitian Revolution in Cinematic Text By Jude Ulysse A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2017 ABSTRACT “I wait for me” Visualizing the Absence of the Haitian Revolution in Cinematic Text Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2017 In this thesis I explore the memory of the Haitian Revolution in film. I expose the colonialist traditions of selective memory, the ones that determine which histories deserve the attention of professional historians, philosophers, novelists, artists and filmmakers. In addition to their capacity to comfort and entertain, films also serve to inform, shape and influence public consciousness. Central to the thesis, therefore, is an analysis of contemporary filmic representations and denials of Haiti and the Haitian Revolution. I employ a research design that examines the relationship between depictions of Haiti and the country’s colonial experience, as well as the revolution that reshaped that experience. I address two main questions related to the revolution and its connection to the age of modernity. The first concerns an examination of how Haiti has contributed to the production of modernity while the second investigates what it means to remove Haiti from this production of modernity. I aim to unsettle the hegemonic understanding of modernity as the sole creation of the West. The thrust of my argument is that the Haitian Revolution created the space where a re-articulation of the human could be possible.

M.Sc., pour avoir élaboré cet outil d'enseignement et d'apprentissage des soins infirmiers palliatifs et de fin de vie. La production de ce document a été rendue possible grâce au soutien financier de Santé Canada. Droit d’auteur © Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing, 2012 titre courant: RAPPORT SOMMAIRE 1 Avant-propos L’identification de ressources d’apprentissage et d’enseignement dépend de deux approches pédagogiques, soit l’enseignement axé sur le professeur ou l’enseignement axé sur l’étudiant/apprenant. Chaque approche est fondée sur divers présupposés. Pour l’enseignement axé sur le professeur, l’enseignant fixe les objectifs à titre d’expert, fournit les ressources puis évalue l’apprentissage des étudiants, selon les objectifs du cours et le matériel d’apprentissage. Pour l’enseignement axé sur l’étudiant (dont les principes se rapprochent de l’enseignement aux adultes), l’enseignant sert de facilitateur et de guide. À ce titre, il organise l’environnement d’apprentissage dans lequel l’étudiant participe à l’identification de ses besoins d’apprentissage selon la matière du cours, son expérience d’apprentissage et ses connaissances acquises. Conjointement avec l’enseignant, l’étudiant approfondit ses compétences d’étude par le biais de recherche, lecture et synthèse de la matière correspondant à ses besoins d’apprentissage, pour ensuite réfléchir sujets abordés. Dans ce contexte, le travail se fait en général conjointement avec l’ensemble du groupe.

    COAST GUARD PUBLIC AFFAIRS PROGRAM HISTORY: THE SEARCH FOR SYMMETRY _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Communication _______________ by Matthew M. Kroll Spring 2017 iii Copyright © 2017 by Matthew M. Kroll All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to the men and women of the United States Coast Guard and their families. Specifically, those who continue to educate the public on the service’s value to our nation by documenting and sharing the heroic efforts of its members. Without these men and women, the accomplishments of the United States Coast Guard would be lost. The origins of this thesis come from the desire to tell the story of these storytellers. Thank you for sharing the United States Coast Guard with the world and for inspiring current and future service members v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Coast Guard Public Affairs Program History: The Search for Symmetry by Matthew M. Kroll Master of Arts in Communication San Diego State University, 2017 The origins and history of the United States Coast Guard public affairs program remain generally unknown in both the military and civilian public relations communities. This gap in the historical record contributes to the misunderstanding of what the Coast Guard public affairs program is and what it should provide for the service. Moreover, the combination of military and law enforcement missions complicates how the service implements its public affairs program. This research used qualitative methods to analyze past public affairs policy and organization to discover and construct the history of the Coast Guard public affairs program.

  • Abstract the Epic of 1804: Based Upon And
    ABSTRACT THE EPIC OF 1804: BASED UPON AND INCORPORATING AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF MAURICE A. SIXTO’S J’AI VENGE LA RACE Myriam Souffrant, M.A. Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures Northern Illinois University, 2017 Matthew Smith, Director This thesis is a play written in English based upon the French audio recording entitled J’ai vengé la race by Maurice A. Sixto, famed Haitian story teller, comedian, diplomat and language professor (1919-1984). Mr. Sixto is regarded in Haitian literature as an oratory genius for his uncanny ability to analyze every segment of Haitian society using a rich and prolific narrative. With humor, wisdom, and a deft understanding of Haitian societal norms, he used his iconic voice to create authentic characters that have become part of the Haitian cultural fabric. His stories exposed the ills plaguing 20th century Haitian society; everything from the psychological remnants of slavery, to class differentiation and discrimination and beyond. As it is written, the play is in keeping with the Haitian literary tradition of a narrative within a narrative style of storytelling that Sixto uses in J’ai vengé la race. The play also does not support a fixed chronological canon, leaving its conclusion without closure and open to speculation. Thematically, the play is polymorphous, its themes ranging from the supernatural, to historical criticism, to personal testimony, to mysticism, to sex.

  • 2/7/2010 Slavery & the Bible
    1 | Page MBC – 2/7/2010 – Pastor Doug Thompson “For Those Under the Yoke” 1 Timothy 6:1,2 ➢ 1Ti 6:1 Let all who are under the yoke as slaves regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and our doctrine may not be spoken against. ➢ 1Ti 6:2 And let those who have believers as their masters not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but let them serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles. I hope we don’t take a passage like this lightly. It might sound as though it has no application to you and me this morning, but contained in these verses is the formula for the greatest rev- olution that the world has ever seen. I mean that when Christians submit to the Lord Jesus Christ by living godly, submissive lives under the worst conditions, the world is turned upside down. Kingdoms crumble, and tyrants are de-throned – I believe it’s Christianity that ultimately caused the Roman Empire to col- lapse, and a large part of that was the way Christians continued to love Christ and love their enemies even when they were being persecuted, tortured, and killed. Look at v.1 again: when Christians are humble and submissive under whatever yoke they are under, the name of God and our doctrine – which means, the Gospel – aren’t spoken against, instead, God uses the witness of His people to draw unbelievers to Christ.
