  • “My Voice Speaks for Itself”: the Experiences of Three Transgender Students in Secondary School Choral Programs
    “MY VOICE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF”: THE EXPERIENCES OF THREE TRANSGENDER STUDENTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL CHORAL PROGRAMS By Joshua Palkki A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT “MY VOICE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF”: THE EXPERIENCES OF THREE TRANSGENDER STUDENTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL CHORAL PROGRAMS By Joshua Palkki Is choral music education in America at a “trans(gender) tipping point”? With the purpose of furthering and enhancing the sociocultural dialogue surrounding LGBTQA issues in music education and to improve vocal/choral instruction for trans students, this multiple narrative case study explored the musical lives and lived experiences of trans students in high school choral music programs. The two grand tour problems of this study were: • To describe how transgender students enrolled in secondary school choral music programs navigate their gender identity in the choral context. • To describe if/how transgender students in secondary school choral programs were supported by groups including their choral teachers, choral peers, and school administrators. The emergent research design employed narrative inquiry and ethnographic techniques in order to honor and highlight voices of the three participants: Sara, Jon, and Skyler (pseudonyms). The stories of these three students revealed the importance of context and geography in shaping the experiences of trans youth at school. Additionally, the connection or lack thereof between voice and gender identity was different for each of the participants. The policies of the students’ school districts, high schools (administrators), choral programs, and outside music organizations (e.g., state music education organizations) shaped and influenced how Sara, Jon, and Skyler navigated their trans identity within the high school choral context.

Lincoln’s Forgotten Middle Years Abstract It would be difficult to find two books on Abraham Lincoln published in the same year and yet more unalike in their conclusions than Sidney Blumenthal’s Wrestling with His Angel (the second installment in his multi- volume survey of Lincoln’s “political life”) and Elizabeth Brown Pryor’s Six Encounters with Lincoln. Blumenthal’s narrative of Lincoln’s “wilderness years,” from 1849 to 1856, begins with Lincoln at the lowest pitch of his professional life, returning to Illinois from his solitary term in Congress, an embarrassment to his fellow Whigs, only to rise, phoenix-like, from the firestorm of the controversy over slavery in “Bleeding Kansas.” Pryor’s Lincoln, on the other hand, makes his debut a week after his inauguration as president, in what should have been his greatest moment of political triumph, only to be exposed as a bumbling, awkward poseur incompetently stumbling from pillar to post.

  • Clara Barton: the Nation's Prime Precedent of Calm in the Center Of
    Clara Barton: The Nation’s Prime Precedent of Calm in the Center of the Battlefield Dani Martinez Senior Division Historical Paper Word Count: 2500 1 “I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.” 1 The bloody events of the Civil War brought on countless adversities that provoked the demise of thousands of American soldiers. Injuries on the battlefield early on in the war proved to be the leading cause of death for soldiers, as the introduction of nurses was not initially effective in lowering the soldiers’ rising death rate. As the fate of American Union soldiers took a turn for the worse, the servitude and organizations created by Clara Barton paved the way for American achievement and success. The initiative and humanitarian measures made by the inspiring Clara Barton during the premise of events before, during, and after the Civil War in the United States, cemented her as an admirable role model for women in the nineteenth century. By putting her fellow citizens before her own needs, as well as through her service and establishment of the American Red Cross, Clara Barton introduced a sense of security in the eye of the storm that was raging war. Barton was born on December 25, 1821 in North Oxford, Massachusetts. As a young adolescent, she was “small, slender, and striking...with silky brown hair...a round face, a wide expressive mouth, and exquisite, dark brown eyes.” 2 All the family members she grew up with were of significantly older age, so much that she referred to herself as 1 Quote said by Clara Barton.

Especially in 2019, it is viewed as a highly polarized sector of society sometimes hostile to those on the right side of the aisle. But just because the majority of those who work in Hollywood are liberal, that doesn’t necessarily mean our entertainment follows suit. I argue in my thesis that entertainment in Hollywood is far less partisan than people think it is and moreover, that our entertainment represents plenty of conservative themes and ideas. In doing so, I look at a combination of markets and artistic demands that restrain the politics of those in the entertainment industry and even create space for more conservative productions. Although normally art and markets are thought to be in tension with one another, in this case, they conspire to make our entertainment less one-sided politically.
