    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Daniel J. Ciamarra Candidate for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy ______________________________ Director (Tom S. Poetter) ______________________________ Reader (Richard A. Quantz) ______________________________ Reader (Denise Baszile) _____________________________ Graduate School Representative (Bob Burke) ABSTRACT SPEAKING UP: USING A PEDAGOGY OF LOVE TO DEBUNK TECHNICAL TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICES by Daniel J. Ciamarra At present, our students are valued for their capacities to thoughtlessly absorb and regurgitate standardized facts and figures. Meanwhile, the affective facets of schooling, such as love, relationality, compassion, acceptance, integrity, and altruism are overlooked by politicians and educational decision makers, who claim these elements lack academic rigor. In this study, I use the dominant views of the educational elect to accentuate the current push for a more standardized, accountable, and scientific approach to schooling. Then, I employ the counternarrative as a methodological tool for talking back, offering up personal stories and experiences that frame the power of agapic love to demystify the normative views of schooling. More specifically, I employ personal narrative as means for providing teachers a voice, one which aims to debunk confounding generalizations or refute common claims about what education is or ought to be. Finally, I analyze the divergent stories through multiple theoretic and practical lenses in order to make meaning of my experiences. Moreover, the counternarratives in this study focus on how agapic love can be utilized in pedagogical and curricular efforts to transcend the present conditions that hinder many students and teachers from being and becoming who they really are.

    EXHIBIT A LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT (Former) Schlitz Brewery-Tied House 1944 N. Oakley Ave. Final Landmark Recommendation adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, July 7, 2011 CITY OF CHICAGO Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Department of Housing and Economic Development Andrew J. Mooney, Commissioner Bureau of Planning and Zoning Historic Preservation Division The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommend- ing to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within a designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. (Former) Schlitz Brewery-Tied House 1944 N. Oakley Ave. Date: 1898 Architect: Kley & Lang The former Schlitz Brewery-Tied House at 1944 N.

  • The Romance of the Rose
    The Romance of the Rose 179 The Romance of the Rose The Romance of the Rose, an allegorical dream-vision poem stemming from the troubadour tradition of courtly love and written in medieval French, was perhaps the most widely read book in 14th- and 15th-century Europe. During the century of high scholasticism (the 13th), this most influential of all works of medieval romance emerged. It was composed in two stages. Around 1230, Guillaume de Lorris came out with the first 4,058 lines, without quite finishing it. Around 1275 (the year after the death of both Aquinas and Bonaventure), Jean de Meun, a very different personality who studied at the University of Paris and who warred against the mendicant orders, produced a massive amplification of Guillaume’s work, adding 17,724 lines, shifting towards the encyclopedic and dialectic, changing its character from earnest to satiric. C. S. Lewis’s scholarly work The Allegory of Love helped to revive modern interest in the work. Lewis argues for the realism of the allegorical method employed in The Romance: “[This method] was originally forced into existence by a profound moral revolution occurring in the latter days of paganism. For reasons of which we know nothing at all. , men’s gaze was turned inward. But a gaze so turned sees, not the compact ‘character’ of modern fiction, but the contending forces which cannot be described at all except by allegory.” 181 Guillaume de Lorris/Jean de Meun Prologue In the twentieth year of my life, at the time when Love exacts his tribute from young people, I lay down one night, as usual, and slept very soundly.

  • A Promise Or a Threat? a Theological Critique of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology with Particular Reference to Food Security and Sovereignty in Africa
    A PROMISE OR A THREAT? A THEOLOGICAL CRITIQUE OF GENETIC ENGINEERING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO FOOD SECURITY AND SOVEREIGNTY IN AFRICA By SAMUEL MPELEKA CHINGONDOLE A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master's degree in theology and development in the faculty of human and management sciences, school of theology, University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Steve de Gruchy (Director of the programme of theology and development). Pietermaritzburg, 2002. ABSTRACT Today, Africa has more countries with food security problems than any other region on the globe. Two-thirds of all countries suffering food insecurity are in Africa. Present trends would mean that the number ofchronically undernourished people in the Southern region ofAfrica would rise from 180 to 300 million by the year 2010. In this research, I note that in the face ofthis food or hunger crisis, particularly in Africa, some have argued that genetic engineering biotechnology promises to combat food insecurity. Opponents of the technology argue that, to the contrary, genetic engineering biotechnology undermines food security, food sovereignty and livelihoods on the continent. The technology is designed to block access to food and kill agricultural bio­ diversity, vest excessive, monopolistic and exclusive power in the hands of a few bio­ technologists and giant multinational corporations, and ultimately, create hunger and poverty in Africa and other developing countries by undermining organic and conventional means offarming. The thesis offers a critical theological assessment of the structural, ecological and socio­ economic effects of genetic engineering and biotechnology on agriculture, food production, food security and sovereignty in Africa against some core theological principles.

  • Love Without a Name: Celibates and Friendship
    LOVE WITHOUT A NAME: CELIBATES AND FRIENDSHIP Thesis Submitted to The College of Arts and Sciences of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts in Theological Studies By Sr. Eucharia P. Gomba UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON Dayton, Ohio DECEMBER, 2010 LOVE WITHOUT A NAME: CELIBATES AND FRIENDSHIP APPROVED BY: _________________________________________ Jana Bennett, Ph.D. Faculty Advisor _________________________________________ Matthew Levering, Ph.D. Faculty Reader _________________________________________ William Roberts, Ph.D. Faculty Reader _________________________________________ Sandra A. Yocum, Ph.D. Chairperson ii ABSTRACT LOVE WITHOUT A NAME: CELIBATES AND FRIENDSHIP Name: Gomba, Sr.Eucharia P. University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Jana M. Bennett This research paper seeks to examine/investigate the role of friendship among men and women who took the vow of consecrated chastity. Despite their close connection with God, priests and nuns are human. They crave for intimacy and more often fall in love. This becomes complicated and sometimes devastating. The dual challenge faced by these celibates is to grow in communion with God and develop good relationships with people. This thesis attempts to meet that challenge by showing that human friendship enhances our understanding of friendship with God. Celibate life is not a solitary enterprise, but is what happens to us in relationship to others in friendship. Through biblical and theological reflection and a close analysis of the vow of chastity, I wish to show that it is possible to live great friendships in celibacy without the relationship being transformed into a marital romance. Chaste celibacy is a renunciation of what is beautiful in a human person for the sake of the Kingdom.
