Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2004-2019. 5385. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/etd/5385 EXAMINING THE EXPERIENCES OF LATINO/A PARENTS OF FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS PURSUING A DOCTORAL DEGREE by NATALIA LEAL TORO B.A. Rollins College, 2003 M.Ed. University of Florida, 2006 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the Department of Child, Family, and Community Sciences in the College of Education and Human Performance at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2017 Major Professor: Rosa Cintrón © 2017 Natalia Leal Toro ii ABSTRACT Research points to Latino/a parents as an important source of motivation and support for high achieving Latino/a students who are the first in their families to go to college (Arellano & Padilla, 2006; Gándara, 1982; 1994; Hurtado & Sinha, 2006; Zalaquett, 2005); however, very little is known about their experience as they parent children whose educational paths are so different from their own. Cultural values such as collectivism and familism play a unique role in the level of connection between these parents and their children (Suárez-Orozco & Suárez-Orozco, 1995), creating dynamics that merit exploration. This dissertation qualitatively examines how seven Latino/a parents of first-generation college students pursuing a PhD expressed the parenting characteristics outlined in Parent Development Theory (Mowder, 2005). Furthermore, this study explores how these parents experienced their daughters’ higher education journey. Moustakas’ (1994) transcendental phenomenology was utilized in analyzing parents’ voices. The textural and structural descriptions of major and minor themes provided the essence of the parents’ experience. Example of themes are: “Pero la Apoyo - Uncertainty and Support for the PhD”, “Siempre Juntos - High Levels of Interaction”, and “Amor Compasivo - Distance, Pain and Sacrifice”. Recommendations include support for pre-doctoral preparation initiatives, co-curricular innovations, and the exploration of the impact of modern technologies on the communication between parents and their children while in college. iii To my loving husband, son, and parents for making this achievement possible. You believed in me, you supported me, and you motivated me every step of the way. This is ours. Los amo. And to my dear friend Carlene - Your spirit has been with me every day, guiding me. I will continue to make you proud. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the culmination of efforts by many incredible people. First, I would like to thank my dissertation chair, Dr. Rosa Cintrón.

  • Ecological Models of Musical Structure in Pop-Rock, 1950–2019
    Ecological Models of Musical Structure in Pop-rock, 1950–2019 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nicholas J. Shea, M.A., B.Ed. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Anna Gawboy, Advisor and Dissertation Co-Advisor Nicole Biamonte, Dissertation Co-Advisor Daniel Shanahan David Clampitt Copyright by Nicholas J. Shea 2020 Abstract This dissertation explores the relationship between guitar performance and the functional components of musical organization in popular-music songs from 1954 to 2019. Under an ecological theory of affordances, three distinct interdisciplinary approaches are employed: empirical analyses of two stylistically contrasting databases of popular-music song transcriptions, a motion-capture study of performances by practicing musicians local to Columbus, Ohio, and close readings of works performed and/or composed by popular- music guitarists. Each offers gestural analyses that provide an alternative to the object- oriented approach of standard popular-music analysis, as well as clarification on issues related to style, such as the socially determined differences between “pop” and “rock” music. ii Dedication To Anna Gawboy, who is always in my corner. iii Acknowledgments Here I face the nearly insurmountable task of thanking those who have helped to develop this research. Even as all written and analytical content in this document is my own, I cannot deny the incredible value collaboration has brought to this inherently interdisciplinary study. I am extremely fortunate to have a small team of individuals on which I can rely for mentorship and support and whose research backgrounds contribute greatly to the domains of this document.

  • Carla Bruni Bio English 315.53 Kb
    Carla Bruni Released October 9th 2020 on Universal/Wrasse Released on July 10th, “Quelque Chose” was Carla Bruni’s first new original song since her album Little French Songs seven years ago. Since then the singer revisited a selection of international standards from a range of genres – from Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence” and the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” to “Moon River” by Henry Mancini, popularized by Audrey Hepburn – in a collection titled French Touch, which was warmly welcomed by fans around the world (more than 250K albums sold worldwide). This project was successfully followed by an extensive international tour. Bruni, whose talents as an authentic singer-songwriter were discovered 18 years ago, is rarely without her notepads. She writes her songs by hand, a process that’s very important to her – she has an irrepressible need for this immediate contact between emotions and paper, and this passion shines through in the collection of songs on this new album. She wrote them in a slow process that accelerated into fruition over a few weeks last autumn. Month after month, something rose, just like in the first single of her new album "Quelque Chose", that speaks about the awakening of some mysterious thing. At the end of the journey is a return to the very essence of the artist’s feelings and a naturally eponymous album. As always with Bruni, the songs speak about the eternal desire to love and the great adventure of our lives but they also reveal an innate sense of freedom and fantasy. This eponymous album (released October 9th 2020) is the reflection of Carla Bruni herself, a wholehearted embracing of her true self.

  • “Al Mérito” En El Grado De Oficial a José Luis Perales, Cantautor Español
    1 CONDECORACIÓN DE LA ORDEN NACIONAL “AL MÉRITO” EN EL GRADO DE OFICIAL A JOSÉ LUIS PERALES, CANTAUTOR ESPAÑOL Quito, octubre 28 de 2016 El maestro José Luis Perales nació en 1945 en Castejón de Cuenca, España (acá tenemos nuestra propia Cuenca al sur del Ecuador), y desde sus inicios como artista escribió e interpretó canciones que se han convertido en imborrables en la memoria de generaciones. Es un nombre universal de la canción, con una inmensa producción discográfica compuesta por baladas, pop y hasta canción protesta. PERFIL 2 Con tan solo trece años el maestro Perales salió de su Castejón natal para estudiar electrónica en la Universidad Laboral de Sevilla con una beca, porque —al igual que muchos jóvenes en el mundo— su familia no disponía de suficientes recursos económicos. Pero la música fue más fuerte en la vida de José Luis a tal punto que debió interrumpir sus estudios para dedicarse por completo a ella. A los 28 años, en 1973, salió a la luz el disco “Mis canciones” y desde entonces el maestro Perales ha vendido más de 50 millones de álbumes de sus 76 discos en los cinco continentes y ha sido distinguido con diversos reconocimientos en España y el mundo. Tiene más de 100 discos de oro y platino, con canciones míticas como: "¿Y cómo es él?”, “Te quiero”, "Me llamas”, “Quisiera decir tu nombre” o “Que canten los niños”, un himno a la paz y a la esperanza de los niños de todo el mundo. A ellos, a los niños, José Luis ahora se siente más unido que nunca por su relación con sus nietos, Manuela, Guillermo y Noa.

  • Landscapes of Survival: the Politics of Emotions in the Aftermath of Neoliberal Crises
    Landscapes of Survival: The Politics of Emotions in the Aftermath of Neoliberal Crises Angela Duran Real A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Anthony Geist, Chair Kathleen Woodward Leigh Mercer Cynthia Steele Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Hispanic Studies ©Copyright 2019 Angela Duran Real University of Washington Abstract Landscapes of Survival: The Politics of Emotions in the Aftermath of Neoliberal Crises Angela Duran Real Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Anthony Geist Spanish and Portuguese Landscapes of Survival is an investigation of the affective life of neoliberalism. It takes the financial crises of 2001 in Argentina and 2008 in Spain to argue that, while both events have precipitated circumstances inherent to all economic crises—unemployment, austerity, migration, increased poverty—, they have also disclosed that crisis, far from being an extraordinary event, is for most a quotidian experience. In so doing, this work as a whole proposes that attention to the cultural politics of emotions sheds light on the nature of crisis as an ongoing condition under neoliberal governance. This dissertation advances recent cultural analysis of neoliberalism in the field of transatlantic Peninsular and Latin American studies that often lack particular attention to the centrality of the politics of emotions in processes of signification and subjectification. Landscapes of Survival begins with an analysis of the documentaries Otro Destino (Argentina, 2003) and En tierra extraña (Spain, 2015) to explore the feeling of loss that structures the lives of young migrants whose life projects have been overturned by the crises.

Gracias a mis insultos, los niños tienen que escucharme bajo la supervisión de un adulto[1] — Calle 13 “Ven y Critícame” Yo no planto bandera pues yo no soy Cristóbal Colon, yo soy de Las Acacias cien por ciento de corazón, de ningún caserío yo me quiero hacer dueño, no soy un extranjero soy puertorriqueño[2]. — Vico C “La Recta Final” It was summer 2004 in Puerto Rico, I had just gotten my hands on the new Barrio Fino CD, and I was on my way to the local Sam’s Club in Ponce to meet Daddy Yankee. I was ecstatic on the way there and blasted the CD as loud as it could go in the car. I arrived about two hours early and the dense line, made up of equally exited fans, stretched around inside and outside the door. I never got to meet Daddy Yankee because he decided to leave (after several hours) before it was my turn. I, and the countless other fans who left Sam’s Club that day without an autograph or picture, were not bitter. We played our CDs loudly on the way back home and were not ashamed to love reggaetón[3].
