CI Breaks Ground for Sierra Hall Page 17 CHANNEL CSU Channel Islands Magazine • Spring 2014 / Volume 18 / Number 1 CI breaks ground for Sierra Hall Page 17 Channel | President’s Message Looking to the Future Another academic year successfully has ended and I am extremely proud of this year’s 1,600 graduates prepared with their credentials, bachelor's and master’s degrees to take on the world. The energy and enthusiasm displayed by our newest alums at our recent Commencement ceremonies was electric! Our graduates invested long hours alongside faculty and mentors as they studied, performed research and shared their knowledge with one another, in order to fulfill their dreams of receiving an excellent education and beginning the next chapter of their lives. Similarly, the University also looks to the future as we plan for the next generation of students who will attend CI. With less state funding and increasing demand for qualified workers in California, we need to look at innovative ways to provide for students and to accomplish the magic of learning. We need to innovate to serve prospective students—including underserved populations —and enable our outstanding faculty to continue doing what they do best in teaching, research and hands-on academic experiences. We have entered an agreement with advisory firm Jones Lang LaSalle to apply their extensive expertise assessing CI’s current state. Their knowledge and experience will inform the development of a creative plan to leverage existing assets, enabling the University to add programs and facilities in concert with the growth of the campus. They will study campus demand for facilities, evaluate alternative financial structures, identify opportunities for partnerships, and recommend new funding opportunities to finance development components. The plan is targeted for completion this fall. From the very beginning of CI we have built partnerships and our community has been generous and forthcoming. In turn, we are preparing a workforce that will enhance economic development and enrich quality of life throughout our region. We invite you to join us in this endeavor as we continue to provide an excellent education for the residents of Ventura County and beyond. Sincerely yours, Richard R.

  • ABSTRACT the Language of Dissent: the Defense of Eighteenth
    ABSTRACT The Language of Dissent: The Defense of Eighteenth-Century English Dissent in the Works and Sermons of James Peirce Bracy V. Hill II, Ph.D. Chairperson: William L. Pitts, Jr., Ph.D. This biographical dissertation argues that the thought of James Peirce (1674- 1726), the Presbyterian minister whose controversial theology was the catalyst for the division of Dissent in 1719, must be considered in relation to his hermeneutic of history. For Peirce, history was the telling of truth or events, but an inherently rhetorical recounting, fashioned by the historian to express the “sense” of the “original” in the language necessary to convince the audience. In this way, history proved to be malleable and increasingly corrupted the more it was distanced from the original. Peirce’s understanding of the past was linked closely to his identification of the authority and proper explication of Scripture, the integral interpretive role of reason, and the definition of the Dissenting community. In his early career, Peirce applied his theory of history to the classics and the traditions of the Church—both being subject to the sullying emendations of human invention. Late in his life, however, Peirce was convinced that this same hermeneutic of history was applicable to Scripture, which he previously considered inviolate. Despite the assertions of friends and antagonists, Peirce did not ‘convert’, but rather he logically followed his earlier commitment to a traditional hermeneutic of history. This thesis asserts that although James Peirce was primarily a polemicist, he was also a Nonconformist historian who posited definitions of Christianity and Dissent which evolved with his changing ideas.

    Working at the interface between the art and science of breastfeeding: A qualitative study of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants’ experiences.

Abstract Since 1985 a specialist breastfeeding practitioner, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), has been in existence. European and global recommendations propose that IBCLCs are employed within health services to support breastfeeding initiatives, however, the research- based evidence is restricted and did not include any description of the experiences of practitioners. The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of IBCLCs in England and in the process understand some of the enablers and barriers of their role. Data was collected through narrative accounts from twelve IBCLCs who worked in the north of England. The first interview asked practitioners to narrate accounts of how they became and practiced as IBCLCs and the second interview, six months later, sought further elucidation on topics that were found to be common experiences to all practitioners. The narrative accounts were analysed through a social constructionist framework where descriptions were drawn into categories, then themes.
