- Description
- "Reading Between The Lines: Image and Text by Contemporary African American Artists" brings the visual image and the written word together in art works of great directness and elegance by four of today's most progressive artists. For them, the incorporation of text and image is a natural result of deeply introspective and intellectual approaches to their lives and communities. Each artist utilizes these distinctive elements to fulfill her natural role as visual artist, story teller, educator, historian and cultural healer. Each artists has looked deep within herself and her community, and has turned a critical eye toward history, social norms, contemporary race relations, political events, figures and promises. The artists explore a wide range of issues including relationships, family, community, gender roles, AIDS and global politics. Interwoven throughout their work are also issues more clearly defined by American race relations including slavery, the Civil Rights Movement, past and present stereotypes, media representation, ethnic identity and contemporary race relations. These exceptional artists explore diver and vital issues with wisdom of a teacher, the craft of a story teller, the frankness of a journalist, the understanding of a sociologist and the anger of a protester. Exhibition held in the Main Gallery space.

- 2022 - How Modern Gender Values Have Shaped Modern Stoicism Focus - Oral Presentation
- Description
- Stoic philosophy holds that there is very little that a person can control except their own thoughts and feelings about things. This has led to a philosophy centering around the cultivation of inner virtues, like temperance, courage, practical wisdom, and justice. In the modern resurgence of Stoicism which started in the early nineties and continues today, Stoicism is a philosophy largely characterized by online communities, and active participation in philosophical exercises, in order to cultivate inner virtue in a complex and changing world. However, I argue these modern applications of stoicism have a tendency to become merely an ad hoc application of Stoic thought as a tool for momentary functionality, rather than a life philosophy. The purpose of this paper is to explore this “life-hack Stoicism.” By taking a brief survey of modern Stoic writings, as they appear in the blogs and other texts of prominent practitioners of what-I-am-calling “popular stoicism,” I aim to analyze their effects on the Stoic philosophy as a whole, and how it is practiced today. Namely, I will argue that these writings alter the understandings of Stoicism in ways that align with modern ideas of masculinity and taciturn endurance, and minimize the importance of the Stoic virtues of justice and duty.

- 2022 - Feminism - Oral Presentation
- Description
- There are three main strands within the feminist movement. Namely, radical feminism, liberal feminism, and socialist feminism. The present research focuses on those main strands and how they interact with one another to accomplish a common goal: the termination of sexist oppression implemented by the patriarchy. The relationship between feminism and the established ideology of liberalism is also used to explain the similarities and differences between liberal feminists, radical feminists, and socialist feminists. These similarities and rival tendencies are further analyzed to indicate the benefits and challenges of the political application of feminism as a whole. More specifically, this work will examine the differing perception of politics that each strand holds to explain the rival tendencies that prevent unanimity among feminists. Additionally, this work will scrutinize the core themes of feminism (i.e. the private/public divide, the patriarchy, sex and gender, and equality and difference) to explain rival tendencies within the feminist ideology. And most importantly, this work will explore gender and its use as a social cleavage to define, arguably, the most prominent rival tendency: the definition of politics in private and public spheres (e.g. family roles and relations, versus employment opportunities). This is a video of the presentation, "Feminism" given at the 2022 Undergraduate Projects & Research Conference at Salt Lake Community College. The presenter: Sol Vargas-Carrillo.

- 2022 - Theory Contrast Essay (Liberalism) - Oral Presentation
- Description
- Political ideologies are extremely nuanced and complex such as the case of Liberalism, reflected in the difference between its classical and modern branches. Both branches have various views about the role of government, the market, and use of positive and negative freedom. This paper analyzes these differences in a compare and contrast format. These differences are then applied to modern issues such as debates about free college, economic stimulus packages, and mask and vaccine mandates for Covid-19. The results of this analysis show us that while classical and modern branches of Liberalism remain similar at the core, they differ in ways that give us insight into our current political landscape and many modern issues. This is a video of the presentation, "Theory Contrast Essay (Liberalism)" given at the 2022 Undergraduate Projects & Research Conference at Salt Lake Community College. The presenter: Carter Darger & Colin Moore. The video can be accessed via YouTube here: https://youtu.be/Ua3TPzcS8O4
