Timeless Service in Gamma Sigma Omega Chapter

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority

By: Emma Jean Hawkins Conyers

Since the beginning in 1943, the mission of the Gamma Sigma Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has been to cultivate scholastic and ethical standards, to promote unity and friendship among college women, and to be of service to all mankind. Timeless Service in Gamma Sigma Omega Chapter chronicles the history of the women who sojourned in the life of one chapter of the first Black female Greek letter organization and the events that impacted their journey in Savannah, Georgia, from 1943 to 2012. Emma Jean Hawkins Conyers, former president of the GSO Chapter, begins with the story of Adeline Graham, a white philanthropist who bequeathed funds to the chapter for use in establishing an orphanage for Negro children, and reveals how the chapter responded to the challenge. As she continues the chapters history through the years, Conyers shares notable details on members, awards, community projects, and events that helped to preserve a legacy that endures to this day. Timeless Service in Gamma Sigma Omega Chapter captures the spirit of unity, sisterhood, and service that still drives the sorority to fulfill the mission after commencing nearly seven decades ago.

Life is Strange #2.2

Partners in Time

By: Emma Vieceli

After her attempt to return to her own timeline failed, Max set out with Chloe and Rachel to follow their friends, the band The High Seas, on their cross-country tour to a festival in Florida. Also traveling across the country are Rachel’s fellow cast members in Hamlet – also bound for Florida. When they bumped into Max, Chloe and Rachel on the Grand Canyon trail, they took a Team Hamlet photo, but Laurence fell off the cliff! In one timeline, Max used her power to save him, in the other Chloe and the High Seas found him alone on the edge – the rest of the cast having gone for help. After bringing Lawrence back to the motel, Chloe confronted Tristan, who had travelled across timelines to find her. Tristan told Chloe everything, and the pair began planning how to bring Max home. After a long day, Max was kept awake, wondering if she was on the right path. Chloe apologized to Max for pulling her back out of the transect, because she wasn’t ready to lose her. Max told that it was okay: if there’s one thing she can trust in any timeline, it’s Chloe Price.

Life is Strange #2.3

Partners in Time

By: Emma Vieceli

With Max’s help, Tristan was able to use his powers to phase through the Transect and find Chloe in the original timeline. However, he was exhausted and struggled to use his powers again. Chloe, full of renewed hope, told him not to be so hard on himself. In a rare moment of privacy, Rachel confronted Max about her relationship with her Chloe, which Max had kept secret. Rachel apologized to Max for feeling like she had to hide it, and that Max made her and Chloe better people. In the new timeline, Chloe, Max, and Rachel arrived at Tombstone – a Western re-enactment town in El Paso – dressed as Captain Bluebeard and her crew. The trio were unaware that – in the other timeline – Chloe, Tristan and the High Seas had also arrived in Tombstone. However, rather than dress up in their own pirate outfits, they rented cowboy costumes instead. As Chloe admired herself in the costume-shop mirror, she was taken by surprise when her reflection became a window into the alternate timeline! Chloe ran into Victoria, who was playing the role of Ophelia in her timeline’s production of Hamlet. The two caught up over a coffee and Victoria seemed to have left her Queen Bee and Blackwell Academy days behind her. Meanwhile, across the timelines, a water gun fight broke out in the streets of Tombstone and it was everyone for themselves! As Max lived a brand-new pirate adventure, she felt closer to Chloe, and to her home, than ever.

Invoking the Akelarre

Voices of the Accused in the Basque Witch-Craze, 1609-1614

By: Emma Wilby

Invoking the Akelarre

Voices of the Accused in the Basque Witch-Craze, 1609-1614

By: Emma Wilby

With their dramatic descriptions of black masses and cannibalistic feasts, the records generated by the Basque witch-craze of 160914 provide us with arguably the most demonologically-stereotypical accounts of the witches sabbath or akelarre to have emerged from early modern Europe. While the trials have attracted scholarly attention, the most substantial monograph on the subject was written nearly forty years ago and most works have focused on the ways in which interrogators shaped the pattern of prosecutions and the testimonies of defendants. Invoking the Akelarre diverts from this norm by employing more recent historiographical paradigms to analyze the contributions of the accused. Through interdisciplinary analyses of both French- and Spanish-Basque records, it argues that suspects were not passive recipients of elite demonological stereotypes but animated these received templates with their own belief and experience, from the dark exoticism of magical conjuration, liturgical cursing and theatrical misrule to the sharp pragmatism of domestic medical practice and everyday religious observance. In highlighting the range of raw materials available to the suspects, the book helps us to understand how the fiction of the witches sabbath emerged to such prominence in contemporary mentalities, whilst also restoring some agency to the defendants and nuancing the historical thesis that stereotypical content points to interrogatorial opinion and folkloric content to the voices of the accused. In its local context, this study provides an intimate portrait of peasant communities as they flourished in the Basque region in this period and leaves us with the irony that Europes most sensationally-demonological accounts of the witches sabbath may have evolved out of a particularly ardent commitment, on the part of ordinary Basques, to the social and devotional structures of popular Catholicism.

By: Linda Mulcahy,Emma Rowden

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Democratic Courthouse

A Modern History of Design, Due Process and Dignity

By: Linda Mulcahy,Emma Rowden

The Democratic Courthouse examines how changing understandings of the relationship between government and the governed came to be reflected in the buildings designed to house the modern legal system from the 1970s to the present day in England and Wales. The book explores the extent to which egalitarian ideals and the pursuit of new social and economic rights altered existing hierarchies and expectations about how people should interact with each other in the courthouse. Drawing on extensive public archives and private archives kept by the Ministry of Justice, but also using case studies from other jurisdictions, the book details how civil servants, judges, lawyers, architects, engineers and security experts have talked about courthouses and the people that populate them. In doing so, it uncovers a changing history of ideas about how the competing goals of transparency, majesty, participation, security, fairness and authority have been achieved, and the extent to which aspirations towards equality and participation have been realised in physical form. As this book demonstrates, the power of architecture to frame attitudes and expectations of the justice system is much more than an aesthetic or theoretical nicety. Legal subjects live in a world in which the configuration of space, the cues provided about behaviour by the built form and the way in which justice is symbolised play a crucial, but largely unacknowledged, role in creating meaning and constituting legal identities and rights to participate in the civic sphere. Key to understanding the modern-day courthouse, this book will be of interest to scholars and students in all fields of law, architecture, sociology, political science, psychology and criminology.

Generational Diversity at Work

Generational Diversity at Work

New Research Perspectives

By: Emma Parry

Over the past decade much attention has been paid to the apparent differences in consumption preferences or workplace attitudes and behaviours across generations. Within Western economies such as the USA, UK and Australia, it is commonly assumed that that there are now four generations in the workplace, namely Veterans (born 1925-1942), Baby Boomers (1943-1960), Generation X (1961-1981) and Generation Y (1982- 2000) The concept of generational differences at work is one that has recently been adopted by practitioners as a basis on which to design human resource management and career management practices. However, there has been some concern in academic circles about the validity of the notion of generations and the evidence base that supports it. There is therefore a need for new perspectives and methodological approaches to investigating generational differences at work in order to establish the validity and value of generations as an axis of diversity. Generational Diversity at Work: New Research Perspectives will address this need by presenting and discussing research into generational diversity that adopts a range of new theoretical perspectives or methodological approaches. This book is designed as a first step in addressing the need to critically examine the theoretical and empirical basis for generational differences and to provide some new empirical data in this area.

Mysteriously gifted with the power to rewind time, Max Caulfield used her new abilities to reconnect with her oldest friend, Chloe Price, and to bring justice to the murderers of Chloe’s closest confidante, Rachel Amber. Max’s abilities came at a cost, however: if Max altered the original timeline – in which Chloe died of a gunshot wound – a hurricane would destroy their hometown, Arcadia Bay. In one reality, Max chose to save Chloe’s life, sacrificing Arcadia Bay. A year later, to save herself from a flux of possibilities that was tearing her apart, Max jumped into a new time line, reconciling the disparate shards of herself in the process. Max may now be whole, but she’s far from unscathed. In an ocean of possibilities, where does she go from here?

Life is Strange #2.4

By: Emma Vieceli

Since jumping over to Max’s original timeline, Tristan has been travelling with Chloe and the High Seas. The band welcomed Tristan as an “honorary crew member”, but Pixie was curious about where Chloe’s mysterious friend had come from and how he had appeared so suddenly. Across the realities, Max is also concerned about Tristan. After seeing a glimpse of her Chloe back in Tombstone, Max was more confident than ever – but without hearing from Tristan, she couldn’t be sure if she was on the right path. Tristan, Chloe and the High Seas arrived in El Paso for their latest show. Away from his new friends, Tristan continued to struggle with his powers, unable to phase in and out of reality as he had done before – much to his, and Chloe’s, growing frustration. But Tristan realized that Max must also be on the same route, and that she was also in El Paso! He theorized that, if he and Max were able to be in the same place, at the same time, he would be able to jump back to her. After a successful gig in El Paso, everyone headed out onto the next leg of their tour. But Max, Chloe and Rachel watched in horror as a tree trunk fell directly into the path of the Hight Seas van, which overturned to avoid a collision. Without waiting to see how bad the damage was, Max rushed forward to use her powers and save her friends. But as time began to rewind, Tristan appeared in the wreckage of the van. He shouted for Max to wait, but it was too late…

Life is Strange #3

By: Emma Viecelli

After being invited to a ceremony commemorating the destruction of Arcadia Bay, one year on, Max and Chloe set off to return to the Bay. Treading through their old home brought up more than just complicated emotions as Max is still struggling with inadvertent fluctuations in time and sees a vision of Diana alive and well… as if the storm had never hit. When Chloe touches Max’s hand she can see Diana too, so it’s not just Max’s affliction, but are these ‘visions’ or something more?

Privatizing Prisons

Rhetoric and Reality

By: Professor Adrian L James, Professor,Professor Keith Bottomley,Professor Alison Liebling,Dr Emma Clare

This book makes public, for the first time, a full account of the development of the privatization of prisons, centred on the only full-scale empirical study yet to have been undertaken in Britain. After providing an up-to-date overview of the development of private sector involvement in penal practice in the United Kingdom, North America, Europe and Australia, the authors go on to describe the first two years in the life of Wolds Remand Prison - the first private prison in Britain. They look at the daily life for remand prisoners, assess the duties and morale of staff and compare the workings of Wolds to a new local prison in the public sector. The authors conclude by discussing some of the practical and theoretical issues to have emerged from contracting out, ethical issues surrounding the whole privatization debate and implications for the future of the prison system and penal policy.

CULTURE OF NAMES IN AFRICA

A Search for Cultural Identity

By: Emma Umana Clasberry

INTRODUCTION Personal name is a vital aspect of cultural identity. As a child, you may have loved or hated your name. But you were rarely indifferent to it. “What’s in a name?” Shakespeare asked. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”, he explained. Perhaps in England or somewhere else in Europe, but not in Africa. Personal names in African have meanings, can affect personality, hinder or enhance life initiatives. They serve to establish a connection between name and cultural background, and thus, provide some information about cultural affinity and more, such as express one’s spirituality, philosophy of life, political or socio-economic status as defined by a given ethnic cleavage. African names tell stories, convert abstract ideas to stories, and tell story of the story about different aspects of one’s life. They commemorate any unusual circumstance the family or community once experienced, or world event that took place around the time of a child’s birth. Outside a given cultural environment, names boost and nurture cultural pride and identity, showcase a people’s appreciation of their culture and their readiness to defend and live their culture with pride and dignity. Naming practices that tell histories behind the names were the norms in Nigeria-Ibibio, and in fact, in Africa, until the encroachment of two historical forces in Africans’ affairs. Christianization and colonization, more than any other forces in history, shattered the connection between personal name and cultural affinity, and have ever-since contributed to the gradual erosion of African culture of names. On the continent, the combined efforts of their human agents - the missionaries and British colonial personnel, directly and indirectly, through their policies and practices, caused African- Nigerians to give up their culture relevant names in favor of foreign ones. Apart from direct erosion of culture of names, ‘colonial administration’ (a term I use mostly to refer to the combined efforts of the missionaries and British colonial personnel) in Nigeria abrogated many religious, socio-economic and political traditions which were intimately intertwined with the people’s naming practices. Their attempt to replace African traditions with European ones through coercing Africans to accept Western values and beliefs consequently disabled many desirable African traditional structures, including authentic African naming practices, and caused some to fall into disuse. A third force was early European-African trade. Although the impact of the presence of European merchants in Nigeria was minimal in this regard, some of their activities have also left a dent on African naming practices by introducing foreign bodies into the people’s names database. Even though these alien forces invaded and injected foreign values into Africa over a century ago, their impact on naming practices continues to be felt by Africans. European intrusion in relation to African naming practices did not end on the continent. The Trans- Atlantic Trade on human cargo was another major historical event that did not only forcefully disconnect many Africans from their cultural root and natural habitat, but also mutilated authentic African naming practices among them. Consequently, Africans in Diaspora had European names imposed upon them by their slave masters. Today, many Africans on the continent and in Diaspora continue to carry names which are foreign, names whose meanings they do not know, names the bearers can not even pronounce correctly in some ethnic contexts, and names which have no relevance to nor any form of link with the bearers’ cultural background. In effect, culture of names, as many other African customary practices, has lost its savor. Some peoples of African descent still cherish these colonized names. Some do not, and are making practical efforts to reclaim authentic African cul
