    Spring Edition 2019 MORE THAN $1 MILLION IN FUNDING APPROVED FOR EQUINE RESEARCH IN 2019 The board of directors of Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation has authorized expenditure of $1,338,858 to fund eight new projects at seven universities, nine continuing projects, and three career development awards to fund veterinary research to benefit all horses. This is the fifth straight year that more than $1 million has been approved. 366 Projects “We thank our generous donors who recognize the value of veterinary research for enhancing equine health and wellness,” said Jamie Haydon, president of the foundation. “From studying a racehorse’s stride to predict injury to testing an intrauterine 44 Universities antibiotic treatment, we are excited to see the results of these studies and how they may help horses of all breeds in the future.” Million 27.5 Oaklawn Park and WinStar Farm will each be donating $50,000 in 2019 to sponsor research projects pertaining to health in racehorses. They are participants in Grayson’s Since 1983 new corporate membership program, whereby organizations can contribute to 2019 projects listed on next page Grayson-funded projects.

  • Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl; a Literary Weapon
    PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ALGERIA Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research University of Tlemcen Faculty of Letters and Languages Department of English Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl; a Literary Weapon Against Slavery Dissertation submitted to the Department of English as a partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Literature and Civilization Presented by Supervised by Ms.Tasnim BELAIDOUNI Ms.Meriem MENGOUCHI BOARD OF EXAMINERS Dr. Wassila MOURO Chairwoman Ms. Meriem MENGOUCHI Supervisor Dr. Frid DAOUDI Examiner Academic Year: 2016/2017 Dedications To those who believed in me To those who helped me through hard times To my Mother, my family and my friends I dedicate this work ii Acknowledgements Immense loads of gratitude and thanks are addressed to my teacher and supervisor Ms. Meriem MENGOUCHI; this work could have never come to existence without your vivacious guidance, constant encouragement, and priceless advice and patience. My sincerest acknowledgements go to the board of examiners namely; Dr. Wassila MOURO and Dr. Frid DAOUDI My deep gratitude to all my teachers iii Abstract Harriet Ann Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl seemed not to be the only literary work which tackled the issue of woman in slavery. However, this autobiography is the first published slave narrative written in the nineteenth century. In fact, the primary purpose of this research is to dive into Incidents in order to examine the author’s portrayal of a black female slave fighting for her freedom and her rights. On the other hand, Jacobs shows that despite the oppression and the persecution of an enslaved woman, she did not remain silent, but she strived to assert herself.

Robert Morris (1823-82) was the second African Amer- ican to pass the bar exam in the United States. An ardent abolitionist, during the 1840s he was the only practicing black lawyer in Boston. In 1849 he represented Ben- jamin Roberts, whose daughter had been denied entry to the white public schools. Charles Sumner eventu- ally argued this case before the Massachusetts Supreme Court. During the 1850s Morris participated in three daring rescues of fugitive slaves who were being held in custody for return to the South. After the Civil War he converted to Catholicism, which was then dominated by the Irish. Both before and after the war a majority of Morris’ clients were Irish.

  • Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Radiant Beings: Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristin Michelle Ferebee Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Dr. Thomas S. Davis, Advisor Dr. Jared Gardner Dr. Brian McHale Dr. Rebekah Sheldon 1 Copyrighted by Kristin Michelle Ferebee 2019 2 Abstract The Anthropocene era— a term put forward to differentiate the timespan in which human activity has left a geological mark on the Earth, and which is most often now applied to what J.R. McNeill labels the post-1945 “Great Acceleration”— has seen a proliferation of narratives that center around questions of radioactive, toxic, and other bodily contamination and this contamination’s potential effects. Across literature, memoir, comics, television, and film, these narratives play out the cultural anxieties of a world that is itself increasingly figured as contaminated. In this dissertation, I read examples of these narratives as suggesting that behind these anxieties lies a more central anxiety concerning the sustainability of Western liberal humanism and its foundational human figure. Without celebrating contamination, I argue that the very concept of what it means to be “contaminated” must be rethought, as representations of the contaminated body shape and shaped by a nervous policing of what counts as “human.” To this end, I offer a strategy of posthuman/ist reading that draws on new materialist approaches from the Environmental Humanities, and mobilize this strategy to highlight the ways in which narratives of contamination from Marvel Comics to memoir are already rejecting the problematic ideology of the human and envisioning what might come next.

  • 308 Lewis Thompson During the Fall of 1859, Lewis Thompson, Who Lived
    308 Lewis Thompson During the fall of 1859, Lewis Thompson, who lived at the Patterson and Leaky Mills, where the town of Leaky now stands, started to Uvalde with a load of new lumber, made of the beautiful cypress timber of that section. He was driving two yoke of oxen. When Thompson reached a point of about six miles south of Rio Frio, he stopped to gather pecans. The Indians slipped up and shot him. When found, Mr. Thompson’s body was pinned to the ground with an arrow. J.C. Ware and about nine others, who followed the Indian’s trail, soon found where the savages had butchered one of Mr. Thompson’s oxen. A short skirmish followed, when the Indians were encountered; and the whites recovered thirty-two head of stolen horses. Note: The author personally interviewed: J. C. Ware, who followed the Indians; E. L. Downes, who lived in that section of the country at the time; and others. Further Ref.: Vital Statistics of the U. S. Census Records of 1860.

Mr. Richardson had gone to the mill at Belton. Mrs. Richardson and her children remained at home. Late in the afternoon, Mary, age twelve, and John, aged eight, attempted to drive home the cows. They had stopped to eat grapes, about three hundred yards from the house when Mary saw Indians coming.

  • The Antinuclear Revolution and the Reagan Administration, 1980 - 1984
    “A Force to be Reckoned With”: The Antinuclear Revolution and the Reagan Administration, 1980 - 1984 Henry Maar University of California, Santa Barbara [email protected] “If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one. Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” In quoting the Bhagavad Gita, J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, pronounced the start of the atomic age, after witnessing the Trinity test blast of the world’s first nuclear weapon at the Los Alamos lab, New Mexico, July 16, 1945. Nuclear weapons became not only the basis for an arms race throughout the Cold War, but a rallying cry for those who feared the existence of such weapons would lead the world to a stark choice: “one world or none”–that is, either the human race could live in a world without nuclear weapons, or no world would be left to occupy.1 While indeed nuclear weapons faced fierce opposition from numerous individuals during the Cold War, the 1980s marked the height of the nuclear anxiety. With the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor meltdown of 1979 still rattling in the public conscience, the incoming Reagan administration only contributed to the ongoing nuclear anxiety by undertaking a massive arms buildup while making careless statements regarding nuclear war. As the doomsday clock of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists inched closer to midnight, a “Call to Halt the Arms Race” sounded the charge for a movement that would challenge a re-emerging Cold War consensus, in turn, shaping American society throughout the early 1980s.
