    Rightor, Kimberly (Rice University, 2014)
    Issues of The Atlanta Constitution newspaper in January 1913 made women’s place in society remarkably clear.

    Krawetz, Alexandra (Rice University, 2014)
    When King William III and Queen Mary II ascended to the English throne in 1689 they were relatively well received. However, by 1692 their relationship with the public was strained.

    The Unchanging Mind: Origen’s Lifetime Argument and The Dissolution of the Devil

Many scholars today maintain this position and typically cite Peri Archon, composed very early Origen’s writing career. There are some scholars, however, who cite Contra Celsum to demonstrate that Origen does in fact hold the devil will ...

    Stylistic and conceptual similarities in the psalm settings of Mikołaj Gomółka and Claude Goudimel 

    Robak, Tomasz (Rice University, 2011)
    Polish-language polyphonic music from the Renaissance has been largely ignored in English-language music historical literature. However, this repertory is of the highest quality and is comparable to the output of other Western European composers.

    China has adopted a unique policy of medical pluralism, whereby traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western biomedicine (WM) are both widely used in the health care system to provide optimal health outcomes to patients.

    Precedents To J.S. Bach’s Fugues for Solo Violin from the Sonatas, BWV 1001, 1003, AND 1005 

    Slough, Tara (Rice University, 2010)
    Johann Sebastian’s fugues for unaccompanied violin from the Sonatas, BWV 1001, 1003, and 1005, play a central role in the violin repertoire. Bach’s conceptualization of the fugues for solo violin, an instrument that would appear to preclude this sort of contrapuntal writing, is unique in the Baroque repertoire.
