Published by Lyasis Edizioni, Sondrio, 2004 4 Foreword In the late summer of 2019, sixteen students, one intrepid van driver, and one native Alpine expert set out on a twelve-day hiking expedition across the Swiss and Italian Alps. This journey marked the fourth year that Dr. Reto Gieré has led students on a geological, historical, and gustatorial tour of his home. As a geology course, Penn in the Alps takes an ecological approach on the study of Alpine culture. Lectures range from topics on Earth sciences to Alpine folk instruments, while emphasizing the interdependence between the natural environment and human livelihood. The following pages present each student’s research paper on a selected aspect of the Alps or the Earth entire. The second part of the book contains their journal entries, in which each author shares their own gelato-permeated experience. 5 Group shot at Montebello Castle in Bellinzona, Switzerland.

  • On-Going Series
    On-Going Series Borgia Rule or Perish - NOW IN 2nd SEASON! It was the age of Da Vinci and Michelangelo, of enlightened creativity and unparalleled intellectual achievement. But it was also the age of Machevelli, of rampant lawlessness, incessant war and unspeakable depravity. At the heart of the world order was the Vatican, the arbiter of conflicts between those kingdoms and empires. And at the center of the Vatican was a man whose quest for power would propel him to seek the ultimate prize, the Chair and Saint Peter. He was a man whose name would become synonymous with ruthlessness, and whose reign as pope would be remembered as the most infamous chapter of the history of the Catholic Church – Rodrigo Borgia. His four children – Juan, the oldest, a prideful, lazy, unscrupulous sexual predator, Cesare, a young man torn between a faith that was not his calling and his dark violent nature, Lucretia, a young girl discovering the secret power that a woman's sexuality holds, and Goffredo, an innocent child who would come of age in a family riven by conflict – would provide Rodrigo with a challenge as great as the political maneuvering of his political and religious rivals. “Borgia” is a one-hour dramatic series that chronicles the rise to power of this Catalan Cardinal and his clan, who would seek to establish a dynasty that would hold sway over the entire world. Though a man of faith, Rodrigo was also in thrall to the pleasures of the flesh. Not only did he have to deal with the plotting and conspiracies of his fellow cardinals and the representatives of the great powers, but he was also locked in a struggle to contain the bitter sibling rivalries that threatened to tear his family apart.

  • The Black Image in the White Mind: Educational Consequences of Media Racism
    THE BLACK IMAGE IN THE WHITE MIND: EDUCATIONAL CONSEQUENCES OF MEDIA RACISM Sheldon A. Lanier A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the School of Education. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Kathleen Brown Dana Thompson-Dorsey Misti Williams © 2017 Sheldon A. Lanier ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sheldon A. Lanier: The Black Image in the White Mind: Educational Consequences of Media Racism (Under the direction of Kathleen Brown) In the United States of America, Black male students often face a cultural disconnect when entering classrooms today. As a result, outcomes for these students, including academic ones, are both alarming and reprehensible. It is conceivable that a link exists between the exposure to negative racial portrayals of Black males in the media, teachers’ perceptions of their Black male students, and the negative treatments of Black males that result. These perceptions are important when examining how they can affect school policies and practices institutionally. Given the multitude of structures that help shape the negative outcomes of Black males in this country, mixed methods on both quantitative and qualitative inquiry were used to explore and examine the following questions: 1) How are Black males portrayed in the HBO original series, The Wire? 2) Do these portrayals reify (or, not) stereotypes of Black males in the United States? 3) How might these portrayals cultivate White female teachers’ perceptions and subsequent treatment of Black male students? The Wire was used as the media content sample due to the vast amount of Black male actors in lead or prominent recurring roles.
